    Evening all:

    As always, some cool car pics. Kurt! :thumbsup:
    There seems to be a competition as for who can design the ugliest Cyber truck, IMO the Rivian isn't bad, but that headlight configuration just makes me want to :puke:!

    Always love your car pics Kurt. For me the classic cars and trucks bring back a lot of memories of times past. I fear that most of the vehicles being built now a days will never be classics. Keep them pics coming Kurt.

    A little something every chance we get.
    Thanks all!
    I really would not likely have a Riv or a Cyber, as I'm not really full in on all electric. But the first of each I saw in person? Rivian. And the weird headlights are a "brand statement". Of course, two years from now, probably can't get one. And Tesla won't care about what you bought.....
    The upcoming Hybrid Tacomas interest me, as an owner of multiple Prius, and a Hybrid RAV4. Toyota does a fine job with Hybrid - it makes far more sense that converting from just one to just another.

    Food for thought, in 8 years my Taco can get CLASSIC or HISTORIC plates in Texas

    told me that Michael, who owns the Lavender Ford

    has over $50K in just the interior! And I didn't get a pic before he left when I found that out. Wow.

    Looks like the snow is all said and done (until tomorrow); we got an official 8.5 inches in town (about 300' below where we live). Yesterday morning I swept an easy 5" off the Tacoma, and another 4"-5" this morning. :)

    I usually use the printer every other day. I have a recipe file and I like to have a print recipe when I cook.

    When I started looking for a printer my buddy recommended HP for B&W Laser because they just keep on working. My extremely old HP 6L would not work with Win 10. I was able to make it work with Win 7 but not Win 10. Heck I even converted the Centronics cable to USB and made it work. HP has a couple of Laser B&W for under $200 right now. One thing I found out is the price you see on the manufacture's website is the lowest price you will find, even at Costco.

    Good morning. @Oldie2007 TY for all the pics. I like that you have something for everyone. The Honda pick up was pretty unique. As always TY for the Poncho pics.

    Slept in a little late today. Off to the gym then back home. Might burn the firepit today.

    Here, you got accustomed to see Classic or antique plates on "old" stuff. Antiques, street rods, muscle cars, etc.
    I scratched my head the first time I saw a late 80s Taurus wagon with "Early American " plates.
    25 years old to get em, so, I guess.:rofl:

    Totally agree! People can call me anything they want, but IMHO the design of these Cyber wheeling appliances are still to be desired to my liking.

    Morning all:

    Never noticed a Pa "early American" plate, it looks like a "collectable vehicle" plate is also available, never noticed one of them either.

    Was thinking about going hunting now that we have snow on the ground, CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH, and no wind, definitely not ideal and figured the heck with it!

    Yes, it does, doesn't it? Good morning to all. Out of curiosity, how many people here are actually 70+? I'm new here and have not seen a 70+ thread which I qualify for. Not that there is anything wrong with this one, just curious. Boomers forever!

    Wow! $50k for just the interior is a hardcore enthusiast.
    But....on the second thought, can't do much for $50k nowaday :pout:

    :rain: Good Morning Porch Pals and Sue! Rain, and grey today, giving way to a two day wind storm! That out to be good. Just to make sure we have fun, it starts from South, then WSW, then will be from the North. 40 to 50 mph gusts I doubt we'll see, but that's the forecast. I have an almost normal week on the book!

    :pccoffee: :wave: sixtys/wannabes/snowmageddon survivors. Weather forecasters were all over the map for us; anywhere from an inch to a foot, literally. We ended up with 6" officially but because of rain/ice it was only about 3-4" deep -- and about as heavy as wet concrete -- when I cleared it yesterday. Snowblower did me proud by tossing the stuff a long ways. I briefly considered just leaving it there until Tuesday, when we're going to get 3" of rain!

    I put antique tags on the Caterham. It was going to be a royal PITA to get it inspected because it's a 1995 vehicle with a 1965 engine in it. Emissions inspection would have been all but impossible. Antique tags have limits on frequency of driving and times of day they can be on the road, neither of which bothers me. Win-win.

    Once you are all setup, they go crunch, crunch too.
