A Horse With No Name

WE have both highly qualified union and non union contractors that work for our university. And a few non qualified half wit contractors of both the union and non union variety. I am getting too old for all of that. Miss the days when I could work like that, I really enjoy working.

Ya never know about women... The way the world works, sadly.

I am being super careful with my Truck as I know my chances of replacing it if totaled or stolen at the moment are not good.

I know you are not a fan of 70's cars, but I find this era of Chevy kinda hot in a way. I actually love this picture. If Chevy impala's had an onlyfans account, this is how they would present themselves. Cars, woodworking, hiking, reading and Music are my escape from the current world. Sometimes escapism is good. I find the tech behind electric cars interesting. I don't thinbk theya nre a cure all. Somewhere there is a planet in pristine shape wher4e something like human life has not evolved. Here on earth the universe is aware of itself through humans. I think we need to be good but not perfect stewards of what we have been given. Electric cars seem like a step in the right direction. Tell us how you really feel sir...and happy Monday to ya!

They really do. That being said, either of you are ever in Columbus, I will take you to Dirty Franks, our premere hot dog joint. https://dirtyfranks.com/

Just like really bad carpentry work.....a little putty and paint, make the old girl what she ain't. It will be interesting. My only thought is god only knows what will happen with the classic car thing. People have been modifying fully restored Mustangs, tri fives, corvettes and the like for a long time. Putting insane amounts of money in. Just like Porn..... when it comes to fantasy....a fool and his money are soon parted. I never thought I would see modified or original first gen bronco's selling for the insane prices they are selling for.

Exactly why this place has been so interesting to watch for the last 16 years for me.

House next to me they bought for 200k roughly before prices went up. They dumped 80K plus into changing it even though it was in pristine shape. She (owner) wanted something different. She owns a few pizza resteraunts that make a good bit of change, and can afford it. Just because you don't expect to make money back out doesn't mean its a bad use of money. Green car for you if you don't like EV conversions. This is bio friendly...

This blue looks especially good. Balthy, I like the Jeep, but like the flares on this Bronco far better. Since I am a butt man, rather than a boob man or a leg man...the rear view.

That arguement works against any type of specialty vehicle construction. Dollar for Dollar, Corolla or Sonic would be your best bet. You want to play, you got to pay. I would argue a 70 Mustang Coupes resale value, dollar for dollar, peaked in 1971. Everyone (almost) that I know in the Mustang community really likes playing with the newer stuff. A 70 Mustang Coupe is probably going to have someone (wrongfully) leaning against it at a car show while they ogle a 2013 Boss 302 or a 2020 Shelby. Or a K code 66 fastback, or 69 Mach 1. But you will get far more positive attention with the 2020 Shelby or the 2013 Boss 302 (at least around here) than you would with the 66 or 69. 70 Coupe converted for electric is a personal vanity purchase for personal pleasure. Were you to have spent money flying on the concorde, it would have been for the experience. We don't judge people for spending big bucks on a flight that is over in 3 hours, why judge someone for spending 50 grand they will never see again on an EV conversion? Hour for hour of enjoyment, the EV conversion is much cheaper than the flight.

Everything is absurdly priced as of late. Not a political post, jsut a lament.

I love this. I could see converting all kinds of ICE vehicles with this.

Retro Green and brown show exceptionally well on both of those...one more random vintage Ford truck picture.

70's square body Ford products just absolutely had the look. This is killer.

50 plus years later, the mid sixties Pontiacs still take my breath away. Partial to the GTO, but would love a full size. This GP is amazing. Cool vintage pic for you as a thanks for posting this up. Lots of Osha violations there, wonder if that dude ever went blind from lack of eye protection.

Let's do Teal Tuesday, I posted the Road Runner, will end with this Cadillac.

Today's funny... This car just has the look. I could spend all day looking at this. This is cruel but funny, actually.

Neat retro paint job. Not sure if I like it or not, but it is creative. Same guy, then and now. Ohio Jeep Association. Another Bronco picture...

Exactly. Love this turned form

Once again Kermit gets it right...

64 Sport fury convertible.... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2283668441961569/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks&tracking={"qid"%3A"-7524001152403227250"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"1075535563416529187"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A1075535563416529187%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A0%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A8752767311976333312%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A21%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"}

Old Woodworking machine pic for today. Thanks.
