We're not easily offended and don't want people to think they have to walk on eggshells around here (like at another place that shall remain nameless) but of course, there is a limit to everything.
Play nice!
Thanks for posting the article, was certainly a great read!
I’m not much of a car person and don’t know much about them, but that is a pretty car.
(Remember, I’m a lady so it’s not as cissified for me to refer to a car as “pretty”
)
It’s quite a car. Dave blueprinted the entire machine. 70% original parts and the remaining 30% are custom parts made from the original factory machines Ford used in 1949.
Apparently there is some guy back in Michigan that makes a tidy sum of money doing this for restorers.

Even though I’m not a “car person,” I do admire all the work he put into it.
But if he’s married, I feel for his wife!
I could just imagine her yelling at him, “You spend more time with that car than you do with me!,” LOL.
Wow, that is cool!
I like the color.
Does he take it out for drives often, or does it stay in a garage most of the time?
If it were mine, I’d be torn between wanting to take it out to have fun and show it off and being afraid of damage and wanting to keep it indoors.
rdw,
Dave has that car tattooed on his right forearm. I’m not making this up.
He takes it to a lot of car shows in California.
Sweet!
My Dad had a ‘42 Lincoln Continental.
Mom had a ‘56 Crown Vicky. Also had a ‘59 Fairlane, 2 tone dark blue/baby blue. Mom and Dad brought me home from the hospital in the Fairlane.
I beat it runs better than any garbage produced today.
yep, and it gets 30 mpg too

LOL. I’d say he’s pretty devoted!
re 8 Wow!!! Do you know the HP on the car?
I think it puts out 300 hp
re 11 NIce. Does he let you drive it?
Are you nuts? He won’t even let his wife drive it.
But she has a ‘56 Chevy with the Continental kit LOL
I do not think I am nuts. But you where just using the expression right? I am the person that would ask to drive a cool car where I know a person that has it. You would be supprized at how many people said yes.

Check out J Leno’s cars, insane.
wow. Thanks bar there are decent videos too. I think the people at Top Gear do a better job with the videos then Jay Leno’s crew.
Back in the day it was Quality before Quantity. Now it’s Quantity before Quality.
But then again most stuff produced today is chinese slave ware, no wonder there’s no quality anymore.
Interesting piece of Chinas slave imperialism

Now this clip is very interesting, don’t think it was too bright to write ‘Nascar sucks’ on their cars and drive through Albama.

re 18 I think Top Gear is good for its car reviews. I do not agree with there take on America and I thought that was the worse thing they did. At least they are not blowing themselves up for not believing like them or Nazis. What do you expect from the British?
Off Topic
Medical ‘Conscience Rule’ may be ethical hot potato
That is SWEEEEET. I’m looking for a replacement for the car I loved that my parents donated for a tax deduction (dammit). If anyone has a Mark 2 Toyota Supra I’m game! Consider that my “LGF2’s List” ad.
RDW: I doubt that urgent care will be an issue but elective care (abortion [NOT life-of-mother], birth control, sterilization, etc.) might be.
I also doubt that health care workers would judge people (gays, etc.) and decide not to treat them. Hospitals will have to spell out in contracts what is expected of their employees.
Lex, you think that’s bad? My grandpa had a 1966 Plymouth Belvedere with the 426 Hemi in it. I think that engine put out close to 600 HP.
Grandma wouldn’t let him give me the car so he traded it in on a Toyota Corona. ACK!
I think you guys would get a kick out of this http://snappedshot.com/archives/3254-Like-Detroit,-only-Smaller%21.html
Avid, that is hilarious!
