And that answered my second question, with regards to it being a stick shift; How many miles on it?

 

You ever see one of these?

From 2009 until 2016, it was almost exclusively the result of me taking pictures of something I probably shouldn't have taken pictures of, namely trucks that weren't at shows and HVAC equipment...

I got stopped by police in Doylestown for taking pictures in March 2013, but I didn't fully learn my lesson until May 2016, when some guy caught me taking pictures of his truck at a shopping center in Horsham; I had just completed a transaction at Navy Federal Credit Union, which I am allowed to use because my dad was in the Navy. I stopped my truck in front of this GMC Sonoma with California plates and took pictures with my Nikon SLR, right when the owner happened to be coming out of NFCU. His truck had California plates, and he was banking at NFCU, so that tells me the guy was military; Based on his behavior, I'm thinking had had PTSD or some other underlying mental issues. I have a coworker who was in the 82nd Airborne and served in Iraq, and suffers from PTSD, so I sympathize with the guy who owned the GMC truck; However, after he came up to my truck and demanded to see my camera, I wasn't sticking around.

When I do absolutely have to take pictures of a vehicle outside a car show (like one that's in a public parking lot), I am far more discreet about it than I used to be and use my iPhone instead of my conspicuous SLR camera; It is now June 2022, and I have not had an incident involving take pictures of vehicles since that one at the bank back in May 2016.

 

Yeah, there were a bunch of those at the Carlisle Ford Nationals earlier this month; Took a few pictures and will post tonight!

 

I guess its a thing to do a b6t engine swap on ford festiva

 

You would think business insurance would cover

 

If ever there was a person that knows all about drugs screens, it would be me.
All through high school and into my early 20’s, I had long hair. I was what you would call the “image of your standard pothead.” I never once got hired anywhere that didn’t have me do a drug test, before I was hired. The lumber yard I was hired on at sent me 3 times in 6 months. And once more before I was made “full time”. It was after the 5th time that the boss man finally said, “We’ve spent enough money on you passing and get paid for 1/2 a day that you aren’t here.” Lol.
Never took another one the rest of time I was employed there.

I guess I held a grudge against people that assumed I was a dopehead. So, I kind of made my “thing” to be able to pass a drug test at anytime. (Plus, I’ve seen enough lives ruined by the stuff)

I’ve always said, I don’t care what other put inside their body. Go for it. Make it all legal, I don’t care.
I myself just never cared for any recreational “drugs”. I don’t even like to drink. Don’t even remember when the last time I did?

 

This is why they have you take drug tests for detailing

 

Never had a problem with the drug test, but the other shit was obnoxious, and I don't think the guys from Ferris Buehler were stoners, but I see your point...

 

To be fair, I’ve seen Alcoholic/Stoners out work “Straight and narrow” guys.
Like I said, I don’t care either way.

 

Not that kind in the pic but I knew a couple folks that had the Fox body 80s ones. A family I did yardwork for as a teenager's daughter had the roadster style..hot blonde chick too..mmmm

Haha..same here re the younger years with the long hair, metal band shirts, earrings..really went over well in a conversative old money town as well. My neighbor down the street would say I was a drug addict and drove a shitbox b/c I was always buying drugs. Yeah no, I bought a car I could pay cash for and it's not like my Mommy and Daddy buy me cars. When I turned 18 I had cut the hair and bought my Camaro, that summer she was home from college and I drove by her..she didn't recognize me, a couple of weeks later she and her younger sister are at my house and she asks who's the new guy in the area with the green Camaro. Hahaha..never taken anything prescribed or otherwise in my life more than Tylenol. I was quite a drinker long ago though

That and liability reasons since you are handling cars, plus they're other people's cars.

 

OK I hope you blew her a kiss back or said "thanks for the kiss now blow me a job" or something

 

67k. I'm at Sam's club now getting the 20 year old tires off the wheels and some new falkins on. Yes 20 year old ! And I was so scared driving back Ohio with them. Yes they were dry rotted.

 

Bring it to the Carlisle GM Nationals this weekend!

 

Reminds me of a guy i worked with had one. He had a single car garage and was backing out, or moving his car back....couldnt see good so he opens the door looking back...folds the door the opposite direction of travel im pretty sure he did that twice. then the new door he ordered came in and ups or fedex drops the new door out the back of it

 

Oh wow. SMH. Funny now but he probably soiled his shorts.

 

He was always doing something crazy. He had a small incline in his drive way and had an old muscle car that would kick out of park, one cold morning he starts it goes inside for a minute to get something comes back out and its gone...it kicked itself out if park into reverse and going down street bumping into bunch cars

 

You gonna come to the GM Nationals this weekend? I'm gonna be there on Saturday!

 

Probably not. Although besides seeing cars I would like to meet another crazy Taco owner !
