I could be wrong but thought that I heard it was Katlin Jenner's car.

Doug, if it were Katlins car it would for sure be a fake.
Appropriate and witty observation!

The Lounge / The importance of sleep

The health considerations of sleep. A must listen. The expert ties it in with driving about half way through.

Missing my nice climate on that map.  There may be snow on top of one of our mountains but where I am it has been up to 82 F by day and down to 73 F at night.  Throw in light 10 to 15 mpph breezes and only a few clouds, it all makes for a pleasant autumn.  Probalbly cool down over the winter months to 78 F by day and 68 F at night.

Unfortunately that causes all those winter bodies from the blue zones on the map to invade us and  to clog our streets and beaches and strain my efforts to stretch the Shelby's legs.   

Gotta put the shades back on now. 8)

I'm wondering, where Don Johnston might be with that topographical and meteorological description.  I click his profile.  Location: Hawaii.  LOL!  I'm dying here.  Never been but is there room for one more tourist?   I wonder what kind of poem Hawaii might inspire me to write.  Maybe I should get on that.  Imagine through photos.

Thank you for your input gentlemen.  I need to light a fire under myself and get mine rebuilt.  I have a Conra Automotive 1 inch bore dual master cylinder in 843 at the moment.  Original MICO sleeps peacefully with her original engine in my closet.

I still have mine but it needs a rebuild. May I inquire where you are taking yours to have done or are you doing it yourself? I believe Mico still exists and offers rebuild kits.

Best,

Richard E.

Love it! Who cares about the house. I would save my car over my house any day! That photo nearly brought a tear to my eye. Nearly...

Yes, but after Fall, you gentlemen miss a white Christmas with three feet of snow and Jack knifing tractor trailers and hundred car pile ups and cold engines with dead batteries and underinflated tires because of contracting air in the tires and shoveling snow also known as heart attack snow and thick cumbersome winter coats and freezing ears and feet and steamy glasses from entering any warm building and if you work in the city then freezing at a train platform or slipping and falling on accumulated ice formations not to mention (but I will), the salted roads that eat cars alive in but a few short years.

Unless you are in sunny Florida and get attacked by Canadian snowbirds.

Autumn

Cool air seeps into the night
Red leaves drop to take their flight
And misty breath steams the air
Speaking death without a care

A harvester's moon shines down
Casting its light with a frown
While the living strive for life
The frost soon cuts like a knife

The softness of Mother Earth
Turns cold with her bitter mirth
The sound of a frigid brook
Sweeps Autumn leaves to a nook

But is this truly the end
No more life is left to spend
All is silent and gone deep
One day to wake from its sleep

Richard E.

Now get out and drive before it's too late!

I read somewhere that Kopec had signs on his trailer to the effect that he was hauling beef carcasses or the like. You could also add some bio hazard signs or even radioactive signs on the trailer as a deterrent in addition to any other methods you seem fit.
Gotta love it! Assuming the thief can read of course. Or interpret warnings.
