I know for a fact that when they flicked the internet switch my comic book and baseball collection valuation went to shit. So many allowances wasted. Luckily my first check from my first job more than covered my losses. lolol

Maybe Canadians got the undercoating at the dealership. Anything short of a concourse / babied car had rust here in the northeast that salts just as much. I was involved in a national group and it was echoed that short of the southwest US no frame rust Fieros were uncommon. Not rare but definitely uncommon.

Well I had one and the frame was rusted to shit like frame may snap in half rusted to shit. Sold it for what I paid since I didn’t pay that much. Through research and talking to other enthusiasts frames rusting out is quite common. This is in the upper right quarter of the US. Obviously won’t rust that much in the…

Ah! Nice! Yeah I remember the Maxim versions. Seemed the 550 Seca was the only chain drive version in that line up. Even the larger Secas were shaft drive.

Wow! That is absolutely hilarious!

Ha! Nice! Had the ‘81 XJ550 Seca. White with red stripes. Very fun bike.

More like Orville Reven-dat-facher! Hey Oh!

Rather fitting they would have the settting for the Paul Newman Edition Nissan Skyline 2000GT photo be Ranch.

While he sits in that nice car, on that side of town, he ponders to himself, am I paid up on my protection fees?

Wow! That reminds me of a rectangular array of quantities or expressions in rows and columns that is treated as a single entity and manipulated according to particular rules! 

Glorious.

Booooo! That hot take is cold. It needs to be put back in the oven until sufficiently hot.

Star for Tom Collins. No one knows how to make those anymore. I end up getting a drink with a finger of gin and five of sours. First sip pucker is intense!

Look at us. Smile. Big smile. Nod your head. Act like we’re just having a nice conversation. Now listen to me. You’re going to get in the car and we’re going to go for a nice long drive in the country. 

Pat Goss taught me that scheduled maintenance can help me gap fools.

Drag racing was immensely popular in the 60's and 70's and most show cars during that period were modeled after drag cars. Drag cars are made to go straight fast and are not really drivable hence a show car done up like a drag car is not going to be very drivable.

There’s an Eric Clapton song in here somewhere.

Haha. Yeah, I can see that. I had a Harley for a while as well. Did it up 70's style. Was fun but I’m not much into cruising so I traded it. Currently have a first gen M900S and CB750K and a second gen GSXR1100.

Yeah when you have to make your bike look like your competitor your competitor has won at branding. I was originally going to say it looked like a Harley and Gold Wing mash up until I checked out the latest Gold Wing. I guess I hadn’t seen a Gold Wing in a while because they look full on Gundam now.
