Almost everything I read indicates that the electrical grid infrastructure is fragile at best, not including the estimated generating capacity. This is the type of information that I am going on. I would say News Week is a reputable news source. https://www.newsweek.com/californians-told-not-charge-electric-cars-gas-car-sales-ban-1738398

Proof My Wife Listens-50 Buick toy
Larry Schramm replied to Sonomatic's topic in Buick - Garages and Memorabilia
Interesting difference is the box shows 4 portholes and the car only has 3. Also the side bright trim is more on the box picture and the car has a single spear on the side. The company might have used the same box for the different models. Are there different illustrations on the different sides of the box? If I remember correctly, a Special has 3 and a Super has 4. Correct me if I am wrong. Nice B'day present. You have a good wife. -
Seals tend to be generic with millions of different sizes & styles out there.

Restoration things that as a novice I hadn't given much thought
Larry Schramm replied to Andy J's topic in General Discussion
I am old enough to remember red paint costing about $45.00/gallon. I would guess that it is now closer to $1,000.00/gallon even though I have not bought any lately meaning in the last 10-15 years. I like many of us remember past prices, but if you are in the hobby and want to fix your vehicle you just do without other things to feed our vehicle habit. All about priorities. -
Nice work.

Does that translate to how many gallons of water per mile?

There should be somewhere a tag that would identify the builder of the bus body. It could be anywhere including the firewall, any of the doors, the ceiling in the front of the passenger compartment, rear doors, etc.. It looks like a cab & chassis sent to a body builder. Could be a company like Blue Bird, etc...

Difficulties Removing VIR AC unit on '76 Caddy

Is the wrench on the far LEFT a metric wrench and the one on the far right an SAE wrench? Or maybe Whitworth wrench? -
Period images to relieve some of the stress

Looks close

5 inches in diameter. Seems a little high for that small of a sign, IMO.

My guess is that the seat covers are for a front bench seat in a lower contented car. Maybe something like a 1992 Buick Century or a similar vehicle. It does not look like it came from an upper series car. Just my guess.

I know one of those also and all they want to do is gather trophies, not sharing information. Sharing information is why I like this group.

My earlier comment was about the means portion of disposable income for the car hobby. If you don't have it, you can not spend it, except the federal government.
-
I would say probably yes. The biggest change in disposable income is the huge increase in tax burden placed on taxpayers. One data point would be social security taxes. 1963-1965 remem3.625% on first $4,800, 2022 Employee 7.65% on Social Security tax on first $147,000. And that is just Social security. In the 60's remember when gas was about 25cents/gallon. Now the taxes on a gallon of fuel can easily top 50cents/gallon. I know wages are up, but tax burdens are up more.
