Slightly annoyed at all the Pollen on this thing after I washed and waxed it 😑

If it makes you feel better I’m about to manual swap my grand marquis and have no clue what to do with my 53 Buick.

That’s what everyone else says 😆.

I’ll try and dump it before then I guess.

Snagged another 4.9 at a pretty good price. And yes the Olds is the (recent) addition. Not sure how long I’ll hold onto it though.

*living*

I feel like I’ve been working more than loving these days, but still moving forwards. Need to put an engine in My truck and I have a new little work car until I can get the mercury sorted.

What’s new in these parts?

JLTV has been on the market so long I doubt it. There had t been a Celebrity large enough to push for it yet either 😅

Here are some nice mushrooms

I’m jealous of the whole truck tbh. It didn’t even feel that car or trailer back there.

Motor mounts and oil filter are in, waiting for the trans mount!

Superduty. I had a buddies 7.3 Excursion on standby too. It was a toss up what was powering the job that day.

Hoping to get some work on this done next week.

It was a week ago we dragged this home now after 8 years. She’s a bit crustier than i remember but everything I have learned led up to this.

I’ve shared this everywhere but here. My longest term project has finally been brought home. Volvo runs and is done for the most part so I’ll be pivoting to this for the most part.

After 80 years, not many Auschwitz survivors are left. One man makes telling the stories his mission A Holocaust survivor who lived through four concentration camps as a young boy will return to Auschwitz to mark 80 years since the liberation of one of the Nazi's most notorious concentration camps.

Think about it, folks: They discontinued the Camaro and 2025 immediately went to hell.

This is what life is like without a bitchin' Camaro! It is not bitchin'! It is the opposite of bitchin'! Not good! Not good at all!

How we doing today

Happy new year everyone!

This is just a reminder to all travelers this season: if you or anyone near you gets stuck at a railway crossing, please call the number on the blue placard to reach a dispatcher who will stop railway traffic.

Merry Christmas, and be safe, everyone.

Buddy just bought a 5-speed Mazda 5 for under $5k in really good shape and decent mileage.

Currently the 611, AC44, and the Class A would be about $900-1000 of plastic crack shaped like a train 😑

I’ve purchased vehicles well under that…. Two of them I still own 🙄

After the NS AC44 I’m probably going to try and get a N&W Class A in HO scale. (1218 preferred)

I bought the Trolley and the Santa Fe F7 years ago (I was 16-19 years old)

Earlier this year when I saw the N&W 611 in person I bought an HO Scale model of that as well.

I’ve inherited a Lionel set

And I have a Rivet Counter NS locomotive on preorder.

It also helps that Hyundai arguably makes a higher quality interior than the Model 3.
