    Hopefully you got my response...I have to take care of the Region guys.  I was in Merrillville for 30 plus years.

     

    Thanks a million Steve.  

    I'll be happy to buy you lunch if you are ever out this way.

    Sadly, this is simply another manifestation of Americans' obsession with cheapness, always confusing a low price with a good value. It is probably the single biggest problem facing us as a society, and it is sending us down a spiral from which we may not recover. 

     

    Americans, sadly, just aren't able to understand that you get what you pay for. They just want to pay less... for everything. Clothes, cars, taxes, transportation, whatever. And then they wonder why everything around them is shit.

     

     

     

    Yep.  

     

    Americans want "cheap."

     

     Can you say "Walmart", "Harbor Freight" ?  

     

     

     

     

    Lots of old American cars recently discovered in a palace in Egypt...

    Small palace, becoming rubble. Lots of 4-door cars, maybe he was starting a retro taxi-cab service. 

     

     

    Nothing wrong with Four Door cars. 

     

    Believe it or not, there are enthusiasts who prefer four door cars.  I am one of them.  Never cared much for Red Convertibles.  

     

    It doesn't help that the TV car shows denigrate them (The assmonkey garage comes to mind).

     

    They are, in fact, the REAL cars.  And a good way to get people into the hobby.

    I won't spill the plotline, and if you're easily unsettled or think history should be rewritten to sanitize things for modern standards, City of Angels is probably not for you. It will take you to dark and disturbing places and the vernacular of 1938 Los Angeles is not sanitized at all. But oh the cars. Episode 3 had a hot swing dancing scene too. COA is also a tour de force for actress Natalie Dormer who plays FOUR different characters.

     

     

    Not enough Fords for me. 

    Cruising in 1972 - Where were you?

    In 1972, I was nine years old. 

     

    My father was in between cars; he had sold a 1953 Chevrolet and was a couple years from buying a 1941 Buick 90.  

     

    But we went for rides to no where and we went for rides  to look at new Buick Electra 225s at the dealer.  

     

    He loved his Electras.  

    Show me your garage.

    I don't have one.  I rent a garage that was a carriage house.    

     

    I was saving for a second house with plans to build a big pole barn for my cars and stuff,

    but that plan seems to have disappeared with my well-paying job.  I might have to use that money just to live.  

     

    I hope to get another well paying job when this is over and build a second house with big garage.  Hard to start over at my age.

    I have way more time wrenching on one of my old junkers than I do driving it. It's early in the relationship. We are still getting to know each other...My understanding is my old sedans can't catch covid. When I do go drive them I am in isolation. We have fun. The money I spend brings me happiness. Especially when I am rewarded by being able to drive the old cars. I am rewarded when people wave, or give me a thumbs-up. Or how about the folks that yell at you to get your attention so they can show their appreciation for the old car? When I drive and hit the aoogah horn, kids and adults alike lite-up with grins. At times like these, I really don't care what happens to the value of my cars. I am happy to get back under them, make them a little better, and go out cruising again. 

     

    Must be the type cars that I choose to own, that make me feel this way. They aren't anything special. They aren't real valuable or collectable. Must be why I guess I don't ponder their future value. My cars sure bring the smiles from both my face and others, when I pass by. I try to be smart about the money I put into them.  We'll go for ice cream in the Plymouth! My future is seen below here. How utterly boring for some, I know. But I'm having fun!
