    What was your first car...???

    My first car was a 1929 REO master rumble-seat coupe. I drove it to high school in '69/'70. I sold it a few years later because I decided that it was too modern for what I wanted. Vitanola has me beat for oldest so far. W2

    Loungers' Pets

    The silly critters do get to you. Several months back, I mentioned our 16 year old cat Kitters. I had mentioned that I thought she would not be with us for much longer. Last night Linda and I held her in our arms for an hour as she passed away. Linda and I both cried. Silly critters. Now...

    Show us your vehicles

    A bit modern for my likes, but a beautiful Buick anyway! How much restoration did you have to do? Did you do much of it yourself? Is it dual side-mounts? Alright, I admit it. I do like cars of the '30s.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I never really watched the Fall guy. However, I worked in cable TV type system maintenance for many years and got to see lots of bits and pieces of lots of shows (Ever watched the Midwest Farm Report Channel?). One day, I was working on a system, adjusting equipment, and caught one of the Fall...

    What are your favorite T.V. theme songs?

    Thank you Zombie_61! I just came back here to say that I had pulled the name "Toody" out of that dusty attic as well as his partner's name Muldoon. Although he is a wonderful and prolific character actor, I don't know if I would ever have pulled out Joe E Ross' name without looking it up somewhere.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    About a week ago, I was driving through a construction zone with a reduced speed limit of 55 mph. I was doing 70. In the right lane. Being passed by everyone else on the road. Gotta love Califunny. (I seriously considered adding "Not" after that. Then I realized that may actually belong in...

    What are your favorite T.V. theme songs?

    Almost FIFTY YEARS LATER! I STILL remember that theme song! NO! I did not just listen to it. One of the other main characters was one of the police officers on "Car 54 Where are You?" I don't know if I could ever pull his name out of that dusty mess I call a memory. However, I think in about...

    That is so, So-o, very bad! And I am sorry, but I can't stop laughing. Thank you. I needed a good laugh. It has been a rough several days. As to the whole "green thing"? My parents both grew up on farms and cattle ranches during the depression. I grew up in the '50s and '60s. We recycled a...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    My wife is spending a few days visiting with her elderly parents. So I watched "Phantom From Space" 1953, an old favorite of mine, and "First Spaceship On Venus" 1960. The latter is one I wasn't really familiar with, and turned out to be a bit better than I expected.

    Clean Jokes

    Benny H, Now, THAT I like. Numerous beautiful word-plays that are simply so true. I also got a good belly-laugh from JP's ID ten T error tale. Especially his last line.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    When I was first getting into the antique automobile hobby (Criminy, has it really been that long ago?), I joined the CCCA for a few years. I later came to the conclusion that their main interests lay with cars somewhat newer than my main interest. I dropped the CCCA and stayed with Horseless...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    In case you can't guess, I like nearly all the Twilight Zone episodes. However, I like my model T Fords even more.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Years ago, friends and I used to dress the part with our antique cars. Most of us still do occasionally, but life seems to have interfered enough that it just doesn't happen as much. These days, if it is just me in my car on a club tour, I usually just wear black jeans with a striped shirt and...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I have been to the Stanford a couple times, usually for something really special. One night, Douglas Fairbanks Jr was there, gave a talk about his time in the military during WWII. It was an incredible story, of which he wrote a very good book about. A movie was shown, starring you know who...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I often give an odd amount in cash to control my change and my cash on hand. I mostly do so either prepared to make it fast and/or when it isn't busy in the checkout line. Sometimes, when there is no line behind me, as I count what I give to the cashier, I tell them that the long line behind me...

    The Ambiguous Lyric.

    By the way, I learned the last line when I found it in a book on my own. And I swear, I think most of the class sang it the way I wrote it.

    The Ambiguous Lyric.

    For what it is worth? When I was in Kindergarten, they tried to teach us to "sing along". I kept asking the teacher what the words really were and the teacher kept telling me to "just sing along with everyone else and it will be wonderful"! I thought it sounded terrible and some of it didn't...

    You know you are getting old when:

    Been some interesting comments on hair. My earliest memories of my dad, and even older photos confirm it, that his hair was for many years all black. By the time I was five, he was well on his way to gray, and beginning to go bald. Before he was thirty, what hair he had? Was all gray, and by the...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    I don't know. Should I? Should I not? I wander back this way, the discussion of disgusting greens is continuing. Many years ago, when I was but a kid getting into the Antique Automobile and Horseless Carriage hobby, there was a nice man that had been in the Horseless Carriage Club for a long...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I watched an about four and a half hour version of "Greed" many years ago. I wasn't sure whether the people that cut about eighty percent of the movie out were to blame for it? Or if Erich von Stroheim made it bad. The scene framing and photography was incredible (as are a few other EvS movies I...
