Vintage Formula 1 at Monaco this weekend!
There are several vintage Formula 1 races this weekend in Monaco. Several, by age groups. (a certain forum member, a lefty, is quite familiar with one!) The Automobile Club of Monaco has a YT stream channel, with some races, again, by era. https://www.youtube.com/@automobileclubmonaco/streams - I am...

Re: Grand Marquis 97 vintage FS near me
Gone real fast, no GM for me! Still looking for a decent scooter, having a hard time, always something off, goofy price, docs missing, tons of maintenance past due, too small displacement, too freaking far, stubborn dealers. Bleah. :cry: Other: last night, left headlights on on Tacoma (disturbed the...

No gonna do interstate travel, plenty of parking where I hang out. Can some fancy chrome old-school add-ons, and go seduce old ladies at the senior center, or make it funky as can be. It' s two grand asking. Better hurry before an upright bass player snatches it! Gallons per miles: Not so bad accord...

Grand Marquis 97 vintage FS near me
Classic bkue 90K miles, affordable.
Should I do it?
My last chance to drive a semi-barge. Never drove a big V8 (uh, maybe not - company Ford LTD?)
Too bad not a Crown Vic though.

Re: What kind of pickups to go on this?
The instrument, a zither, is held at a local historical society, no chance to mod it!
Apparently there are many zither configurations, was popular, but very few got to play it beyond basics.

Re: New Toy en-route!!! :D
Nice.
Hmm, I though the first MX-5 was white?
I will say it again, if anybody has any interest in the Miata, they should check out the MX-5 Cup, a blast to watch. YT live, on on IMSA.tv

Re: Craigslist vs Facebook Marketplace
I joined FB (with a made-up name) for the sole purpose of reading the motorcycle/scooter ads in my vicinity, as local CL is very dry, and infested with far-away dealers posts that do NOT get filtered out. Something dysfunctional about FBM searches, like it was designed to be so on purpose.... :-) An...

Re: I am big fan of the Mazda MX-5 Cup series
I like the idea. It would be interesting if they gave the cars to the teams two hours beforehand and let them mofify away. No, that's not the idea. All on same equipment so even game, keeps cost down, makes for fun series. Plus you can't modify race cars in two hours, safety and all. 24-seb-preview...

As title says, a month away (early May), and zero plan!
Also freaking about the number.
What the duck to do?
Only thing I can think of is a local trip - too early to camp though.

Wife wants us to visit New Mexico
Yep, she wants to spend a week there (like, "Santa Fe = art center"). I do not have much interest, but will go along.
I will grab a travel book, but I want to ask, what's the place like, things not to miss, or odd stuff to do there?

Win12 may amp up the requirements, as I (mis)read it, so much so that boatloads of machines will head for the junk pile.

Re: Travis-Taylor not unlike Marcel Cerdan-Edith Piaf
Kansas City Chiefs(?) player, and Taylor Swift, country-pop(? again) singer, romance.
And, Marcel Cerdan, French boxing champion and Edith Piaf, French singer of iconic tunes like "La vie en rose".

This just came to me this morning, sports figure + music personalty. I hope this modern-day version fares better than Marcel and Edith, though. I do not follow either personalities, but I like how this is not harming anyone, and free of the general nastiness we are sadly accustomed to. I wish them w...

I had fajitas before, but I should ask, how do you go about making it?
I do cook mixed vegetables and a bit of meat, but it comes out more like stir- fry fry Chinese.
