I used to know so many from this generation and now there are none. I was raised in large part by my grandparents who were WWII generation and their friends my grandfather served and my grandmother was a factory line worker. I won’t forget them.

Condoms in a 1991 Buick Lesabre and in a 78 Cadillac Coupe Deville. I’ve found various matchbooks, business cards, etc as well!

I love my old cars and rescue some pretty far gone cars. But some of these are too far gone and should be gone. They probably should have been scrapped decades ago. being in a rusty area doesn’t help. All of the cars I’ve saved have been west coast cars out here we have surface rust on frames and parts. Sometimes a little bit of cancer rust in areas that retain moisture (under vinyl tops, etc) but I’ve never seen a frame eaten through or anything like that. All of the cars I’ve saved had issues like something minor taking them off the road or an incomplete restoration.

They have medical alert systems which detect falls and call a call center. I had one for my grandmother over ten years ago and it worked excellent. for other non blackout situations you could rig an Alexa in the garage with the phone that would respond to voice commands. also keep a cell phone on you. And don’t cheap out with some flip phone stuff get one with voice dialing. some self monitoring is good too taking your pressure and charting it in a phone app, maybe certain times of the day this happens or after certain circumstances. have you seen your doctor recently for advice?

There is not a one time fee you are charged each year smog goes back to 1976

Who is even paying attention?

What special interest plates does your state have for classic and historical vehicles?

Drive it! Tomorrow is never promised, enjoy it today. You also don’t have to worry about scratches, etc.

My newest garage rescue was the 87 Park Avenue which was a week away from scrap. All It needed a new ignition module and coil and a catalytic converter.

I rescued this one in 2020 from a collapsed garage. Restored the efi and then sold it to a guy in Washington who has restored it!

It’s the only damage to the car. Thankfully I did find a replacement that’s coming in the mail.

Out clay bar and waxing today!

The coupes are very rare these days! For both the park avenue and the 98 regency

It’s only about 3500 miles a year. car was purchased new just 20 min from my house. The people lived about 15 min from me.
