No, just the transmission. Not the end of the world.

I'm referring to the upcoming stream of boy friends.
Quote from: TheHire on September 24, 2023, 11:07:52 amMade a firm offer on the final piece to the dream car collection - the most money I've spent on a car to date but also likely the wildest, most exotic and most "value-preserving"/appreciating. If it comes to fruition, I should have it within a month.Ended up cashing out my half of the F355 Spider that I split with my buddy; it's his dream car, not mine, and the money could be put to better use for me.It's done; awaiting customs and shipping. Barring any unforeseen disasters, I should have the final piece to my dream car collection in hand this time next month. This particular one has some true celebrity provenance too...Stick a fork in me; I'm done.

400 big block Chevy. Not sure on the tranny. Very quick, and rides surprisingly nice given the low clearance. It’s been in various forms/colours throughout its life. Had a rumble seat in the trunk at one time. The license plate says “steel” so you know it’s not a kit/fibreglass job. Last pic is from a couple years back and I was following him in his ‘64 Olds. I have pics of the last rebuild/fab work somewhere. The man is talented, been building cars his whole life. Still works full time at 77, says he doesn’t know what he’s do if he retired.
Finally back into our bedroom after the flood. Bathroom is next!
Costco down here sells a 1.5L bottle of Kirkland brand Irish Cream for $12, and it is absolutely getting me through many late nights working.

If only we had that in NB.

If only we had that in NB.When I was in my early twenties, I drove down to NOLA to hang out with my brother for a week, before we both drove to Tennessee for the Bonnaroo music festival. Before we left, we 'stocked' up on alcohol - we bought a sixty of Vodka, and a sixty of Whiskey - bottom shelf stuff - at the local supermarket. I think each bottle was about $15 at the time. Stupid, stupid cheap.

Stupid, stupid cheap. Funny enough, it hasn't changed much. Mrs.Firm bought a sixty of cheap Vodka (she uses it to sanitize certain things, for some reason...) for $17 at the liquor store down the street from us. If the goal is to get absolutely plastered die of alcohol poisoning on minimal $, that's the ticket, lol.

I did the Annapurna one back in the 90's and felt the same. Nepali's are great and the mountains are out of this world
On my 50th birthday, I wanted to get myself something "nice", a big splurge (I never splurge on myself).So I ordered a bespoke piece of clothing...my first and likely last.It's been nearly 2 years...and I got my shipping confirmation today.Pretty stoked to finally receive this.Since I've ordered, I've lost 60+ pounds....so I'm hoping the fit will work.
