Re: The FORD Lounge

I was in third grade. I remember the teacher turning on the news for a short while and seeing the footage, but I don't remember much else from that day. I've read a lot into what happened that day since then, and it's just sad to know that there is so much hatred and mental instability in this world.

I wouldn't say it's instability, I'd say it's focus.

Uh oh, here comes a discussion on 911 was an Inside job....

I'm going to honor Gary's request for no politics.

I know guys from Stewart ANG in Newburgh.
Stand down, because there was an excersize throughout NA on that day is too much coincidence.

Just passed a clean but faded Red bull nose on Cortland avenue

Gave him a big grin and a thumbs up

Yup, when driving and I meet one I give them the same.  But if I find one parked I slip one of my "business cards" under the wiper.

Today is my grandmother's 104th birthday.  I wouldn't have even thought to mention it here, but I was updating her poster today (which we got for her 100th birthday party, hence the sticky notes) and noticed that one of the bits of birthday trivia on it is that the one millionth Ford was produced in 1915.  So, there's your daily Ford trivia item.

Not quite a bullnose, but close...today I noticed this beat-up Brick out behind the local dubious quick-change oil joint.  VIN says it's a '90 2WD F-150 with the 300 out of Kansas City, so maybe it's a long-lost nephew of my truck.

The pine needles on the hood say it's not a daily driver, but I also haven't seen it before so maybe it's a recent acquisition...perhaps someone decided it just wasn't worth the cost of an oil change any more.

So, for the Movie car chase fans, it looks like one of then original Bullitt Mustangs is going to be up for auction in January 2020, do I understand this correctly? I don't know much about how MECUM works...

Anyway want to take a wild guess at what it will go for?...

That's cool!  And he was the king of cool, as the write up says.

We watched the movie again about a month ago.  The chase scene is marvelous.  I'd not realized that McQueen double-clutched his shifts at high speed, which created a sweet sound from that 390.

Can you imagine being the WB employee that daily drove that thing or the school teacher?  New level of cool.

Is this a Jay Leno candidate?
