Totally un-related.  I need these lights (and maybe more) on the front of my daily driver.

There's just something right about a slammed Cressy.

My best friend in H.S.'s dad bought one of those when they first came out and he had it given a custom paint job with silver on everything above the belt line and royal blue with everything below.

He made the mistake of letting us have it for the weekend (Animal House - You f'd up, you trusted us) where we drove from So. Cal. to Big Bear Mountain and rented a room at a Motel 6.

While on a beer run, my friend got T-Boned in an intersection and it had to be towed 150ish miles home.

We went all the way down the mountain in the driver and front passenger seats being towed backwards with me sticking my head out of the window, looking forward frantically giving "turn right and turn left hand signals" while my friend pretended to steer the car....nobody passed us.

Good times, good times.

I owned a white '85 Cressy.  At the time an incredible car.   Great memories.  Big 6 power. Digital gauges. Great highway car.

Looking for a charger. Is there a charger out here? Somewhere? Nearby? 🤞

Internet says that the drag chute failed to deploy and it flipped leaving the runway.

Thanks!  I'm just surprised that anything violent enough to turtle it didn't actually wreck it worse.

Almost like surviving that was designed in. Why? Because Russia. They do excell at weird aircraft.

I can't find a screenshot at the moment, but in Furiosa, when we see the valley of the Green Place, there are solar panels all up along the ridge.

One of the irritating things when working on older, as in not built for 30 years, engines, is finding gaskets.

Aftermarket Volvo water pump gaskets are too thin, and always cut wrong.  So, you track down the kit with the good green Swedish gaskets.  That are sealed in a package...

This was a 30 minute unboxing.
