CARS:
They Taunt us, Disappoint us, Steer us and Help us.
They Please us, Tempt us, miss them when not around.
They House us, Service us and Exhaust us when down.
We Built them, Changed them
And remember the First Ones.

    Humm, Fossil Fuel, another Rockefeller lie, oil is created deep in the earth and is the second most abundant liquid on earth.

    In the next ten years we will probably loose our grid. We might be able to keep it going if we have someone like Trump at the helm and prepare for that inevitability.
    Shields are weak and Solar disturbances play a bigger and bigger disruptive force. It won't take an X100 flair to do it like the Carrington event did.

    Don't know, not often on rumble. I just do X and The Gulch as far as social media goes and ELON is all over X, not to mention a whole lot of Elon (parody.) wana be's.
    I just had a Tesla cars only guy follow me . . . Laughing, and I made fun of one of Tesla/Elon's cars and this guy followed me.

    I tried and all he wanted to do is have me invest in his various ventures. The only thing that was interesting is he was willing to share things about his boring company. He wanted me to get "what's up" and telegram but they are not entirely compatible with older laptops and I purposely do not use those dumb phones . . . do not need that distraction.
    Not to mention, not sure I was messaging the REAL Elon, I am currently being followed by 6 Elons!!!

    You just reminded me of something I needed to discuss with a budding actuary. Develop a system that will allow us to pinpoint any place we might choose to find after the earth tilts 90 degrees and the solar micro nova finishes the job of erasing our current civilization.

    11 is Elons electric Cyber Truck and that is a Diesel engine . . . as if there room for that engine.
    8 Man pretending he has to have his arm twisted to go camping in that condo on wheels.
    The 1960 Ranchero was a falcon not a full size Ford, I often thought I'd make a ranchero out of a 1961 Ford Starliner (my first hot rod) I'd call it: Stranger (Star Ranger)
    I know you got the: "Was His" meme, (I should have added: Divorce American Style)
    I know you got the "Fred Flintstone" Mobiles as might have been the first cars.
    They weren't slapstick happy but little jabs . . . can't let marginal memes go, try to find a clever way to use them and that's exactly what I did this week. The half ass poem speaks to each meme in order.

    Laughing, you're right, guys like mechanical things they can mess with.
    Someday I'll do something for the girls . . .

    I could guess at which one's didn't make sense to you but instead, share with me which one's (By number- there are 14 memes) and I will fill you in.

    Interesting.
    I was tempted by the Jensen Healy and then the first Saab Turbos, the little Mercedes came out that year too.
    I ultimately decided on none of them and instead opened my first Car Stereo Store . . . kept me from getting into trouble, Did an install in a Mazda RX7 and thought it was quite quick . . . been driving Ford Trucks since those days.

    Just got back from a short trip and was greeted by these beauties making good fun of today and bringing back great memories of yesteryear!

    My '69 GTX 440 was metallic blue, but it still would give Greta heartburn and a hissy fit, LOL! Nice RV - I'll take 2, LOL!

    Thanks for making my day, OUC!

    Wankel doesn't have the durability based on what I've read.
    I had 2 but I upgraded the 12A after about 60k miles to the 13B.
    That one was hit from behind (and the 13B sold) at about 55k.
    So my personal experience is that (in the 80's-90's) they were
    quite durable for 60k, but other reports say that's when often
    problems appear.
    The Honda J engines can be good for 3x as long and many
    more mechanics can work on them if/when needed. That
    means that the car will probably bring more when it's eventually
    up for sale, too.
    I prefer a naturally aspirated engine, too, and the J produces
    ample power without turbo/supercharging. The Wankel won't.
    Finally, there is a shop that does the J engine to Miata swaps
    not far from here.

    I loved my '74 Jensen Healy roadster. I still long to drive another (with a Lotus engine that doesn't leak oil.)
    I'm deciding on what engine to drop in my '99 Miata. Leaning toward a Honda 3.2l V6.

    My 1973 Dodge Challenger was green, with black strobe stripes on the side, and a white vinyl top. What was I thinking?

    Hmm I don't remember about the brakes. but it could leave a patch of rubber for over 100 feet. Yes, it was a little "front heavy"!!

    I guess I bought my Verdero Green '68 GTO too soon to satisfy the greenies.
