356 looking boat?

In reply to chandler :

They could be $999, they'd still look tacky to me  yes, I know, vintage Japanese race car look, but you also need the oil cooler mounted in front of the front bumper for the full effect.

See, I much prefer rivet flares.

Every time I see smoothed-in flares, all I can think is how crappy they're going to look in 3 years when all the bondo cracks along the joint lines.  I'd rather have an honest seam there.

I see the back of a late T-bird.

I see a silly expensive boat.

And in another era:

This pic is on my barber's wall. It was his father sometime in the early fifties before he was born. Now he and his brother run the business. Third gen barbers. So I feel as if I'm getting a good cut.

Oh heck yeah.  Finally proof the others are wrong.....

Reverse toilet paper is for the poor souls enslaved to one or more of these creatures...

In reply to Crxpilot :

I have lived with many a cat, and none have ever been so bored as to play with the toilet paper.

One of 'em knew how to open screen doors (smack the button with his paw and push!) and sliding windows (lean up against it and back up, until it opens) which caused q few moments of wondering HTF he got outside to antagonize the local duck population without having been let out.  At least, we figured out the window thing easily, because he was never courteous enough to close it after himself, but he was careful to not open the screen door unless nobody was nearby.

He also understood property lines.  Like, he would jump into a neighbor's tree, we'd yell at him, and he'd jump back out and back to our property.  Mind you, there was no fence or other boundary marker, it was just open grass.  He knew damn well what he was doing, he was just trying to get a rise out of us

I miss the little bugger.

While I agree, that's actually a thrust-vectoring demonstration. Airspeed is near zero.

Slightly higher airspeed.
