    At least buy one with a salvage title. This one has a clean title and working A/C! Too nice for demo derby!

    He'll probably sell it to you for $1,500 OBO. The frame is shot though...

    A fourth gen Caprice police car drivetrain would make a nice swap, probably mostly a bolt in: 350 V8, fuel injection, rear disk brakes, HD sway bars, limited slip rear, quick ratio steering, etc.

    This is a new home in Doylestown Borough that I've been documenting the construction of. Construction was delayed for a quite a bit due to supply chain issues, but they recently started working on it again; I took the first picture at Friday, and the second picture yesterday...

    I’d drive it. But I’d rather have a Vista Cruiser.
    Only because my favorite TV show is That 70’s Show.
    I tell everyone, I’m pretty sure I was reincarnated. (I was born in 83’)
    Because every time I watch a TV show based in the 70’s, it is like I’ve lived that life before.
    My favorite music is 70 Rock.

    Nice house.


    Ever seen a house with a tree in?
    That’s not my “childhood” home. But it’s the one I lived in the longest.
    It’s my moms.

    Did a tornado take out the tree or something?

    They said it was a “Down Burst”.
    It took down a lot of trees. The crane couldn’t get it off.
    So it all had to be taken off by pieces with a bucket truck.

    Thank goodness she has insurance. So far, the insurance company has been great.
    But it just happened last week, so there’s a long road ahead.
