Just found a pick my favorite beater with a heater. 289v8,C4,9inch posi.
Boy did I torture that car. I believe this pick is from right before I junked it.
If you look close their is a crinkle spot between the passenger and fender. That is from the door and fender slamming together. After I was playing dukes of Hazzard with it and jumped it in an old brick yard. Popped all the spot welds in the fire wall and subframe to body mount.

Well, got rear-ended last nite on the way to dinner. Don't buy an Audi. Knocked a bit of plastic off my rear left bumper, scratched some paint, bent the exhaust tip. His needs an new hood, right front fender, bumper, grill. Ford's Garage food and service isn't that great. Another fufu hamburger joint with cute decor. Put a damper on her Valentine and son's B day family dinner. Got a ticket for a hazardous lane change - like ANY lane change in this metromess isn't hazardous. Oh well, nobody hurt.
Friend had one of those Comets, real hot rod too. Big motor and carb, cam in a Fairlane body.

'66 Comet?

Yep. 66 Comet spcl.
Special on the title because it was a Caliente base model ordered with a 289 and an automatic transmission Instead of the base model 6 cyl and 3 on the tree. That's also why the tags on the fenders look different from the other Comets.

We can lookout our front window and see those two constalations this time of the year. Otherwise go up the back stairs onto our flat roof.

Had a friend who had one. He had a long history of calling it "the Vomit".

Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department.
One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole in.
They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to
the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a
hole, the other girl filling it in again.

An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they
were doing. So he asked the hole digger, 'I'm impressed by the effort you
two are putting in to your work, but I don't get it -- why do you dig a
hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?'

The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed, 'Well, I suppose it probably
looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the girl who
plants the tree called in sick.

Here's a link to the whole 70 minute talk he did that day.
It's worth the time to listen to the whole thing.

She just got off the phone with friend who's hubby passed last year. They cut off both SS and claimed both died! Took several months to get straightened out. Went to appeal the traffic ticket this morning, supposed to be there by 3-6. - found I just get court date set, 5-1, 23. Can't just set it over the PHONE!
'I'm from the Gov and here to help'? Right, like I need you.
She notices a charge for AC service on the CC, guy comes out, needs caps and juice. 700$+ change.

Just stumbled across this last night.

Guy seems very knowledgeable and likeable.
