All I need is ham sez Sam I Am!

In my best Bob Uecker voice.... "It's a tight race in the AL Central, all teams are tied for first with only 158 games left in the season!"

You were a cute baby....what happened?

I had a '68 Fastback. Fun car when the road is dry. Squirrely as hell when the road was fresh wet. Bought it for $150 plus a clutch job. Do I wish I still had it now? Yes, but only for the monetary value.

Although playing the piano wasn't one of them....he was a man of many talents....

If I may ask, why?

Whatever it is, they don't appear to have a spray paint can in their hand. Must be using finger paint.

Wait, there was 80's Motivational Music?

Supposedly a reporter asked Michael Biehn (Johnny Ringo in Tombstone) what it was like to work with Val Kilmer. Biehn replied, "I don't know, I never worked with Val.....I did work with Doc Holliday though."

Now some wacko left wingers will attempt to make a "hero" out this murdering POS. Sounds like a copycat crime trying to garner attention to himself.

Glad your experience with Altamont was good, glad to hear it. Too many times folks are quick tell about bad experiences with companies and don't take the time to tell about the positive purchases/interactions with good companies.

Everyone knows that OJ didn't do it, it was the KNIFE!!!! Wake up!!!! Knives kill people, gloves shrink when soaked with blood and left to dry for years....it's just the way it is.

Outstanding work Doc!

The Ghost and the Darkness was a real good movie. Been looking for the DVD at garage sales, have never found it....kind of tells you something....no one gets rid of their "good" movies regardless of format.

I've heard about it and know a shooter, or two, that use Sport Pistol to circumvent the alleged problem.

I thought that movie was hilarious.

He was a good actor but he was absolutely a great actor as Doc Holliday and Jim Morrison. Thanks for the many, many hours of entertainment and all of the Doc quotes that are forever committed to my memory. Rest in Peace Mr. Kilmer.

Watched the Pike's Peak Hill Climb on site during a practice day in 1974. Don't know how the road up to the top of the mountain is now but back then, there were no guard rails and it was a long way down. The spectators (us) stood off to the side of the road in the rocks and brush...or that's what we did. A long nosed Camero (that's what I called the 70's Cameros) came into the turn hot and went off the side. They stopped the practice , brought in a wrecker, sent guys down the hill with ropes and the cable from the wrecker. We left before seeing the results. Never liked steep dropoffs or the like anyway.

Although I downshifted to slow down on occasion, or just for the cool factor, I had it drummed into my head (while learning the stick) that brakes were cheaper than transmissions. Edit - Oh yeah, there isn't a whole lot of hills in Florida!

A major 3 day match in Florida used to be The Ides of March held at the Eustis Gun Club by the Lake County Pistoleros. Although it was only 2 hours away from my house, I would stay in a hotel near the match locale. The area was home to many water related sports (mainly fishing tourneys) because of the large lakes in the area. For many years, there was some kind of Amphicar get together at the same time of year. They'd have 8 or 9 of the cars in the hotel parking lot and others in other parking lots. I talked to several of the owners of the cars and one of them offered to take me for a 'ride' on the lake. The ride never materialized as the match took preference and the times didn't work out.

I learned on a '73 VW Beetle, I hated that car as it had ZERO chick magnetism. My step-father probably has delayed whiplash from teaching me to drive a stick. Later drove the 3 on the trees in work vans easily, except for the Chevy van....you couldn't put it in reverse without grinding it. Owned various manual transmission vehicles over the years. The one that was the most fun was a '90 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe with a 5 speed (+reverse) manual, limited slip rear differential, independent rear suspension, ride control and a super charger. If you were on it, you didn't even shift out of 3rd until you were at 90 mph (at least that's what I heard).

That is just plain out and out dumb, kind of like fake suppressors on guns. I learned on a standard transmission and owned various vehicles with them. Although I do like them, I don't miss them in city driving.

We have one. She loves it. Me, it's alright, I guess. Happy wife, blah, blah. Just more crap on the countertop IMO.
