It's hard to believe that it's been nearly a year and a half now since Torchie passed away. Sure do miss his posts.

The pedestrians in that video remind me of Brazil. Cross at your own peril.

Antique tractor repair shops? I'm in the middle of the largest Amish community in the States, and I know of a number of machine shops that repair old engines, especially the old hit & miss engines. I saw one huge hit & miss engine at one of these shops a year or so back - so big it was one...

Seeing the pictures, I would have just thought it was a first series 49 P15. (I have a 2-door sedan P15 that is a 49.)

Did you build it? If so, just wondering if the unused original parts are still around, or long gone. (I have a 46 Sedan, and I'm missing the shift lever and some other parts of the steering column. Also missing the hand brake mechanism - the part that mounts on the left kick panel.)

Hood scoop.

No one has said it yet - "Honey-Do" projects.... There are also plenty of those waiting to be done. ("I'll do it - You don't have to remind me every Spring." I hope I'm not that bad....)

Running 17" alloys on winter tires (Blizzaks - at my wife's insistence - it's "her car" anyway) on our 2019 Honda CR-V that came with 18s. I wanted steel wheels for the winter set, but apparently this model didn't have an option for steelies, and I couldn't find any after-market wheels that...

My first plea would be to "un-Christine" it. That movie is the worst thing that ever happened to a Plymouth. (Just my opinion, of course. They don't ALL have to be RED!)

When I was a kid back in Oklahoma, we often saw houses going down the road. Always had a guy riding on top, with a pole to push up the power lines. But I don't think I ever saw a two story one going through. Common house style was 'ranch' (single level). You want to leave room over the top...

Speaking of the thick glass lenses used in the older vehicles, could thinner plastic lenses stand up to the heat from the bulb, or was that not a factor in using glass instead of plastic, and why so thick? Then the deal about having a proper reflector. My 46 Plymouth just pokes the tail...

I bought a used snow blower a few years back - 50 bucks. Possibly the most well-spent $50.00 ever - since it seems to have kept the snow away ever since....

We had the weekly baths in a galvanized tub, as you said, but in the kitchen. The rest of the time it hung on a hook on the outside of the house. Outhouse out back. Running water at the kitchen sink. Flip the switch under the sink for the cistern pump. All of our water was either caught off...

Long time ago (1980), but I bought my 46 Plymouth w/o a title. First attempt (1981) I used the SN plus the tag that was on the car when I got it. In Oklahoma the tag belongs to the vehicle, not to the owner (as it is here in Ohio, at least now). Turned out the tag was from a completely...

We own two 2019 vehicles, a Ram Classic (4th Gen), and a Honda CR-V. So I am on discussion forums for those vehicles, and almost everything that gets discussed there is a computer related issue. And yeah, it's all very complicated. I've been tempted to make comments on those sites about that...
