  1. I love the tail out, power happy driving in the video. I've done plenty of THAT! Love the color, my 71 Chevelle was the same color and I always liked it on that car. To each his own....
  2. Yes, Camino and Olds....where indeed art thou?
  3. If it saves an older Cutty from being donked...it's worth it.
  4. Actually love the looks of the Thunderbolt...however...I'm addicted to speed, so I love the P-51 as well. Flying escort into Berlin in the fall of 44 would have been about the ultimate adrenaline rush, provided you survived the trip.
  5. Lowest Combat losses was amazing given its role in ground support and that it flew much lower than the 17's. Those pilots did NOT fly a very predictable path in the sight of German flak... Flak bait was hit something like over 1000 times and she still flew...212 missions IIRC...now that's a tough plane. Which is what I also liked about the Thunderbolt. I think most of the top Thunderbolt aces survived the war, VS most of the top P38 aces, who didn't.
  6. Or was that Baltimore Whore...probably both actually.....
  7. Still VERY loved by the pilots that flew the B26...aka Baltimore Bitch.
  8. That makes perfect, logical sense to me. Pressure will equalize in a refrigeration system...I also used to keep aquariums, including Salt water fish...water will always try to equalize pressure with air.... Think you might be on to something!
  9. PITA for real.... You would think that a GM tech might have an answer for this. Your Tahoe can't be the only vehicle with this problem!
  10. Thinking water pressure could be part of the problem....which is why I wondered about the water pump.
  11. Again, I think we need to improve the small business climate.... Without real jobs, that pay real wages, this will never going to be solved. And the only way we can do this is by making small business.
  12. GM...just like me life...what could have been, should have been, ought to have been.... Don't get me wrong, I've lived a very sweet life and enjoyed a lot of fine GM iron, but I'm like you...on my death bed will be some missing pieces!
  13. Yes it did...and here I agree with Clinton and Balthazar. We need fewer people on the Dole, period. But when you need it, you need it. Sister of one of the guys in the Miata club has Lou Gehrigs disease....she is 46 years old and can no longer take car of herself. People like this should be helped IMHO.
  14. Rear space would be huge for me (no pun intended). I have three teenage children living at home and we haul teenagers everywhere....
  15. Dude, within walking distance or a short drive of my house, there are like a Dozen C3 Corvettes in various stages of disrepair resting behind garages, in garages, on trailers, et al. The C3 is an under rated car, and I wish I saw more of them getting restored.
  16. Guys who flew those had kahunas for sure...lots of things happened to planes back in the day. I think I might have read that more B-17's were destroyed in training, ferrying, and on the ground than in Combat, but that CAN'T somehow be right....
  17. I think if we could get ourselves together in person, we could do a lot of good. I was trying to bring everyone together via a LeMons car, but then the SCCA friends I had that were really interested kind of lost interest all of a sudden... If you get back up to Michigan, let's get together Z and see if we can't make something positive come forth out of C and G.
  18. Pity that no B-26 Mauraders are air worthy. How was the only B-38 destroyed?
  19. I think that is what we would call sub optimal design.
  20. Glad to see you make progress....
  21. Glad they are thinking of one, I have herd almost nothing but good from people who actually own them.
  22. It's deliberately engineered stupidity IMHO. It's called starving the cow....if you create budget deficits large enough and for long enough, you can justify cutting social programs, which is what the conservatives here really want to do.
  23. This is a real start, and why I was talking about the need to get people voting in the politics section. But until we realize one CONSERVATIVE ideal... namely, that we need to take responsibility for ourselves and our nation...all else is moot!
  24. Depends. If you had a rational free market, a stable currency, and an educated population, you could pull it off. However, we don't have a market that acts in a rational manor, our currency is unstable, and our population makes horrible decisions when it comes to finance. So right now, given our current situation, a free market solution that was totally free market would be an utter disaster.
