Sure Happy It’s Thursday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa, Sven, and Mac!
We had a wonderful mini-vacation. The weather cooperated -- it didn’t start raining until we were driving home.
Made a Costco run yesterday to pick up prime rib for Christmas dinner. Yeah, it was a mad house. Today I’m running out to get other provisions and victuals. Should be loads of laughs.
Mine was a 1972 two door. I paid $2,300.00 for it brand new and put about $2,000.00 into the suspension and steering. It was all race gear but the tires, which were Semperit 70 series steel belted tires. They cost over $200.00, almost 10% of the cost of the car. It was a beast on tight roads, especially downhill. I was up in the mountains almost every night, over 500 miles a week. I raced BMWs, Porches, Corvettes, and many sports cars. Except for the front spoiler, wide wheels, and being 3 1/2″ lower, it looked quite innocent. The negative rear camber caught some eyes too. It was not a street kit but all racing gear except the tires. It was terrible on slightly rough roads, I learned to keep my mouth shut, but it was a dream on a twisty mountain road. The steering was completely neutral with zero play and you could throw it from a four wheel drift in one direction to a four wheel drift the other way with no snap or drama. There was no perceivable body roll, even sliding sideways on dry asphalt at 75 mph. Young …and stupid.
Sure Happy It’s Thursday, GN!
At least three “hate crimes” were revealed to be phony-baloney just yesterday:

Plus the MS church burning, which was done by a member of the congregation -- who also happens to be black.
Seems like an appropriate opportunity to post this:
Well, there’s “fake news” and then there’s “fake, but accurate” news.
Feeling like winter out here lately. Cold, wet, windy weather.
Anyhow, good morning Fatwa and happy Thursday, GN! Off to work-yeah, me!
Hai, Sven!
Hope you and Mrs. S. are caught-up -- or nearly so -- on holiday housekeeping.
Fatwa,
That looks like the symbol for the NAZI chapter of “Hands up, Don’t Shoot”?
“Hände hoch, schießen Sie nicht !”
I read that as “scheißen”, not “schießen”.
Hahahaha*snort*hahaha!
Guten tag, Herr Maschinist; das war lustig. (Because I read it the same way Paddy did.)
Hai, Paddy!
Sure Happy It’s Thursday, Gerbil Nation!

Oh you nasty mans.
Aw, Mac…we were just schießen die Scheiße.
I can relate. This is about how I feel about the Evil Orb, too.
The last sentence of this made me laugh out loud.

In my younger days, pre first marriage, I took a friend for a ride over a mountain road in my rather radical Datson 510. He sounded a bit like this.
