  1. I was sitting here wondering just how tough that bolt was to get at that helping with it warranted a marriage proposal .. then I reread the statement. Then I realized GE didn't put his emphasis on the right words. Allow me

     

    When asking a certain lady "the garage assistant" to pass over a wrench(wench?) and help me "tweak a bolt"*snicker*. I (we?) slide out from under the car all "greasy and dirty"*snicker*. And asked her to marry me and she said yep!! Without any hesitation.  So, I guess that I is engaged now!

     

    That makes a little more sense. I guess if a certain lady was to get all greasy and dirty tweaking my bolt, I might blurt out something in the heat of the moment too.

  2. Actually, that was the Parisienne .... near enough the same bumper

    I've had a Heinlein quote as my sig on a political forum for a while

    Democracy can't work. Mathematicians, peasants, and animals, that's all there is - so democracy, a theory based on the assumption that mathematicians and peasants are equal, can never work. Wisdom is not additive; its maximum is that of the wisest man in a given group. "But a democratic form of government is okay, as long as it doesn't work. Any social organization does well enough if it isn't rigid. The framework doesn't matter as long as there is enough looseness to permit that one man in a multitude to display his genius. Most so-called social scientists seem to think that organization is everything. It is almost nothing - except when it is a straitjacket. It is the incidence of heroes that counts, not the pattern of zeros. - Robert A. Heinlein

    So true,, then and now

  3. Way back, I was all Marvel .. principally for one reason ... realism. Yeah, realism. In comics.  All the Marvel comic took place on Earth. The Baxter building was in Manhattan. Not Metropolis. The Thing had HUGE feet and when he picked up a car to throw at someone, they showed his feet sinking into the ground. He wasn't lifting a building wearing size 9 Dockers. They put limits on people and powers .. or at least they tried. A dripping wet Human Torch couldn't ignite. The Thing got knocked on his ass. There were exceptions ... Ironman's batbelt armour with an impossible array of just in time gadgets being the prime example. But Stan Lee and Jack Kirby insisted that even their Gods be limited.  At least, that's how it was back 30 years ago. Today, with all the reboots and retcons ...  Remember back when Wonder Woman had an invisible plane? When did Aquaman suddenly become almost as strong as Superman?

  4. Well, something to be said for time zones.

     

    Thank you for your interest in this vehicle.  Unfortunately, there were no bids when the auction closed, so the department had the vehicle sent to an auto-wrecker. It was destroyed in late March or early April.

     

    I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news! 

     

    I hope you have a good day.

     

    One less in the world. Back to hunting Yugos.

  5. Hmmm ... carfax says it has 4 reports for that VIN. Anyone have a carfax acc't?

     

    A little more prowling ... looks like stolen, lien, and salvage. Can't get the details tho. No chance of a reply from a gov't office on a friday ... gives me the weekend to day dream about having the most unique 'pontiac' around.

  6. Dead battery ... and I suspect keys probably weren't handed in when the vehicle was seized. This didn't get any bids? that sucks.

     

    Fired off an email to see if it's still around. Who knows ... I might have found something better than a Yugo.
