    Wood steering wheels were a European thing. As CF noted, it wouldn’t look right on a Pony car.

    Beg to differ. There's a wood steering wheel for old Shelbys that looks very bueno.   Of course, your results may vary.

    Rolex makes nice watches but I can't imagine paying over retail for one. Plus I just don't really care to wear something everyone else has. I personally think the Liminality is cool and I own another Holthinrichs that is much more subdued but still offbeat.

    Holthinrichs Raw Ornament and my watch for today, Moser Pioneer Centre Seconds. For the price people are paying for a sub, you can get a Moser Pioneer which is a much better watch.

    Yep, that's always been my knock on. Rolex, guys buy one because they think they should own a Rolex. I prefer less known brands.

    Do you need a safe space?

    Heh heh heh, safe space, for damn sure, right down to the Buick sedan, polo shirt, and khakis, but Rolex has never been one of my touchstones.

    Right. She’s so hot. And so famous. I looked up her filmography on IMDb. I’ve seen Traffic. I don’t recall her. I sold the DVD back. I respect the message but the movie wasn’t that great. I haven’t seen her in anything else. I suppose there’s a chance I saw her in her appearance on Dream On. Wendie Malick made much more of an impression on that show.

    But seriously, this? You think that’s super hot?

    She’s no hotter than Chrissy Tiegen whom I’ve noticed is generally hated around here.

    WTF is it with people from Ohio ?

    Also he had this wheel in there:

    But I was like, "Fuck naw, I want that thin thing that makes my hands hurt but looks period correct (and is probably cheaper)."

    Diggin' the green lights, and I like the skinny wheels as well.  I hate the feel of a fat steering wheel.

    Dude. You need to get smarter about choosing lines without rocks. 

    Not many lines out west without rocks. but they're damned sneaky about hiding under all that snow.

  7. Just now, Chad Fuck said:

    I don't know about that yet. 

    But soon.

    Yeah, I haven't had it out for a couple months. Have a leaky power steering hose, and just haven't had the time to deal with it, but convertible weather is just about here, and I'll find some time.

    I hear you.  It might be cool if it already had one.  But they want $500 for them now - plus whatever his markup is and labor.  Honestly, I have a clock on my phone and can hear when I need to switch gears.  I lived without one on it to date.  I'm kinda leaning agin' it.

    Well ya always gotta be fir or agin' somethin'.  There are better ways to spend $500 on a classic car right now........ like getting a full tank of gas....

    Question to you vintage Mustang guys:  Rally Pack or no?

    I've never had one.  Seems like it is just an expensive bauble that won't really get used? Then again, that can be said for the entire car...

    @Anastasis

    @Onboard 2.0

    @anyone else? 

    What say Ye?

    I have a rally pac, and I dig the way it looks. Having  said that it came with the car. I'm not sure I'd pony up the bucks they want for one now.  

    I do like knowing, and seeing RPMs on an analog gauge.

    Friends don't let friends ski Breck.

    Not on weekends that's for damn sure.

    pre oceans 11 or superhero movies, i always considered "a bridge too far" to have the most impressive cast (1970-2000).

    Which only goes to show you can have too many stars in one movie. Not a great movie, remember seeing it when it was released. We were all disappointed. Maybe it's aged better.  Ryan One as a military man ?  yeah no.....  He needed to stick to love stories  or con man flicks (Paper Moon was his best role ever).  MMM W is such a great ensemble cast. Tracey only had to play straight man to a bunch of comedic geniuses.  The Jonathon Winters gas station scene, and Dick Shawns dancing scene are gold (he basically played the same character in The Producers).

    A builder who cuts corners on aluminum wiring has cut corners elsewhere as well.  Don't buy that house.

    It's not about cutting corners typically. It was used because copper Wiring was in short supply for a number of reasons in the late 60's -early 70's.  We lived in a house with aluminum wiring, it was well built otherwise.

    Having said that I wouldn't buy a house w/ aluminum wiring unless there was a deduct so it could be dealt with, which wouldn't be cheap.

    That’s a tough spot. What did the repair shop guys tell you ? 

    Said, "that's a new one". There's no repair for that. The interior core is splintered, and shattered along with the composite base, which is just snapped clean thru.

    How old are those skis? That looks like a major rock shot not just snow. 

    Rossignol Soul Skiers, 5 seasons with probably only 14-18 days at most (lost 2 years of that 5 to covid cancellations).  We think it happened in a bump run at Breck yesterday (we hit the trees a lot as well, but the cover in the woods is pretty deep still.  

    A rock shot of that impact would be pretty noticeable I think, and there's still pretty good cover right. now. We avoid thin cover areas when possible.

    It delaminated along about a 24" line right below his bindings.

    I like the style on the storage under the counter

    Channeling that craftsman, cottagey style trying to create a coastal vibe without hitting you over the head that you’re at the beach muted,  grey wood tones mixed with some brushed nickel, no colors
