Headcold, ache-y. Feh. Drove Chernobylred around on errands today, because she is more ache-y and shouldn't drive herself around. In what, you ask? Well...
We were followed home yesterday by a 1972 Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon. It's for Kij to haul around Taiko drums, a Saab replacement (basically) but with lots more room and oomph. Motivation comes from a souped-up 400ci engine, which is much fun and is necessary for hauling drums. Really. They're pretty heavy, so of course they need 400+ horsepower to do so. Sheesh. It's pretty ratty now, but Kij has asked me to nice it up a bit before starting the LVoD. Wanna see?
front (before replacing bumper)
engine (cuz that's the important part)
info (and links to movies, which'll overload the server in about 10 seconds)
Door lock knobs are dice, as is the lighter handle and the fuzzies hanging from the rear-view. Plus flaming skulls on the side windows. Don't forget the Scooby-Doo bobble head on the dash (anyone a Scooby fan...?) or the MoonEyes foot-accelerator pedal.
Hee hee. Makes a really lovely, nasty sound at what I'm guessing is 3000 RPM, "brrraaaaaap!" That'll wake up the neighbors.

Are we to understand that you have bought ANOTHER car?
The site didn't come up when I went clicky clicky...are the pics available elsewhere? It actually sounds like the perfect car to throw a couple of rad boards on the roof and hit the big tubes in Cali, baby. But oops, I forgot--you live in Kansas. Jayhawk don't surf.

This does bring the vehicle total up to EIGHT.

- Feh, scooters hardly count. And both the bikes weigh less than the trunk on the Lincoln.

Yeah, this guy has one of those "you get 15K of download per year" sites; as soon as someone watches one of the vidoes, that's that. Feh. I'll post our own pics when I take some.
Hey, there's Lake Clinton, which gets HUGE tubes, man! Er, uh, waves anyhow. Well, people can waterski there. Shuddap.

Love that sound
Our '88 Corsica sounds kinda mean right now. Not much of a muffler.
Anyway, congrats on getting (another beater) car to work on.

Two blondie-30ish types in their pristine white BMW SUV. Me, Kij, and chernobylred in the beater wagon. The light turns green. We're side-by side for a while, until the cam "kicks in" (oh, yes, you can tell through those glasspacks). Suddenly, the prissy girls hurry to get ahead, so the women in the wagon urge me to "put them into our cone of exhaust noise." After so doing, the SUV suddenly slows down and backs off some 100 yards behind us.
HA! I shoulda had this thing when I was 16. And 18. And with the Moisturizers. And so forth.

I wanna see it soon, soon, soon.
another friend showed up yesterday in a 79 TransAm, made me nip out just looking at it. You can take the grrl out of the hood, but...

I'm not surprised... they're not on my site. As soon as someone downloads a video, it's over for everyone else. I'll post pics on my site when I take some.
