Bear in mind, nobody would cut up an actual old car just to stick the fenders and hood on something else. They’d just buy two fenders and a hood. So there’s no way an actual shoebox Ford would’ve been sacrificed to make this thing.

NP. Says so right on the plates.

Most likely a fiberglass front end.

Could go up manually - if the material wasn’t frozen. My MG’s top is down for the winter because I didn’t get around to putting it back up before the weather got cold, and my garage is unheated.

I’ve noticed that people from Texas are the biggest whiners when it comes to cold weather. Or hot weather. Or rain. Weather in general. For all the bragging they do about how awesome Texas is it sure seems like a hellhole, weather wise.

Really? It used to be 12345.

A lot of stations have a call button, which brings the attendant from the mini mart out to help you. You’ll see people on crutches and in wheelchairs do this.

The Union 76 (now just 76) brand is currently part of the Conoco-Philips company - Unocal sold it to Philips (as it was at the time) in 1997, so some old Philips 66 and Conoco stations probably picked up the 76 branding. This was around the same time that Unocal sold their midwest operation, which was formed in the…

When I started driving in 1990, the only stations that were full service were also repair shops. I think this might be why they offered it at all - there was usually someone readily available to pump gas, whereas in a station with a cashier and mini mart that person has to lock up to go out there to keep people from…

Yeah, the only ones I can think of were also all repair shops - a Union 76, a Shell across the street, a former Texaco, and a former Standard/Amoco. All of them had garages attached and did repairs and servicing, and I’m pretty sure all of them offered full service till they stopped selling fuel sometime in the 90's.…

You’ve been lucky. The vast majority of the time, if I have a long wait at a self checkout, it’s because the people in front of me can’t handle the simple task of scanning a bar code and putting their item in a plastic bag and picking the correct form of payment.

Hm, images not working.

They’re for suburban dads whose wives won’t let them buy pickup trucks.

It kind of worked, though!

I don’t claim to be an expert in fashion (women’s or men’s), but I do feel qualified to say, man those are some ugly clothes.

I desperately wished for a comma to be there, so it would read RECEIVED A “WEDGIE” BY UNDERWEAR BY HIS OLDER BROTHER, PENIS PAIN 

You know how it goes, you settle in for a little nude foosball, have a few too many adult beverages, things get a bit heated, and the next thing you know you’re in a passionate embrace with your opponent and you get your dick stuck under one of the bars. It’s called foosballus interruptus. Happens all the time in the…

I knew it was an in-period crash test, but man, it still hurts to look at that photo.

I may be thinking of Poodle Springs - I’m sure I’ve read both.

I would do that with wine but it’s really hard to put change into one of those boxes.
