I can see someone wanting a truck, but I didn't think anyone intentionally owned a Grand Am.  

Juggalos. They don't call the Grand Am the Juggalambo for nothing.

dug the old girl out of the garage and fired it up for the first time on over a year. Last year's premix in the tanks and it still fired in less than 5 seconds and quickly settled down to a nice idle. Hoping to head out Saturday to raft up with friends testing a new old boat. 

Stopped by to watch a couple friends pull an engine out of a tired TR6 in Howie's back yard. Here they're putting it on the stand. The plan is to build it into a "fast road" engine as the Brits would say for the yellow TR6 in the background. Fun to watch as they get along as a comedy team while they work ... if you don't mind a bunch of eff-bombs and mother disparaging remarks hurled at each other.

Every time I see a running Grandammit it has a Hatchet Dude vinyl in the back window.

Is hatchet dude a Juggalo thing? I always wondered what that was about.

You remember Kokopelli being everywhere about 25 years ago?

"Hatchet dude" is Psychopelli.

Story is that during WWII breweries were supplying free beer to the troops.  After the invasion of Normandy there wasn't enough room on ships.  RAF Mechanics and such rigged up a system for the Spitfires to carry kegs to them.  As a bonus, flying at high altitude would chill the beer enough that it would be ready to drink by the time they landed.

Fascinating...

Facebook decided that this might be something I'm interested in.

I'm not at all interested.

In reply to Brett_Murphy :

Wait, I'm interested. Where the hell are the front seats? Are those kneeling benches? Or foot rests for the rear seat ?  What gives?

hotlink unrelated...

That's a mower!

Arthur Warner was the first American citizen to purchase an airplane with the wealth made from inventing the Speedometer, and selling a LOT of them.  Not only is he Warner of Stewart-Warner, but he's also Warner of the Borg-Warner Trophy.

What are the odds that it will eventually come out that Arthur Warner was lobbying for speed limits? 

Well.  How hard is this to do?  Seriously.

Put some '62 Catalina tail lights out back .......

EDIT:   I misspoke, meant Bonneville.
