It's funny you say brake failure. That 62 Ford wagon lost it's brakes on the highway. Crashed it into a barrier and totalled it. Everyone was ok. It broke my heart. That was the only car around my area like that in the early 90's. Everybody knew it was me in that car. My dad drove it once past my friends playing basketball at a public court. They waved at him.
That's too bad about your car. Sometimes it's not so good having a notorious car that everyone knows. Hard to get away with shenanigans..
But that's too bad, sorry it ended like that.
I real anal about brakes since then. My Mercury had shitty brakes, it was like trying to stop a freight train. Had front disk put on, now it's nice to drive.
I know what you mean. In high school one of the cars I had was a '71 Skylark. Four wheel drum, no power assist. Stepping on the brake felt like stepping in a pile of dog poo.
I sold that one before I converted it. Had the parts.
http://www.motoexotica.com/inventory/listing/1961-mercury-monterey/ here is the link to the website that sold my car to me. Bought it on eBay. It's still the same except for the Torque Thrust D's wheels I put on for disk break clearance.
That's awesome! Really nice car man, I like it. Looks like fun.
Shoot I could waste a lot of time looking at cars on that site. Lol first thing I went to was the '78 Firebird. Mullet transporter.
I'll more than likely bookmark the site just for fun, I love reading classic car auto trader magazines. Each car has its own story. You drove it yourself? I'm not sure I'd try something like that!
Can't wait for Halloween to be over, so I can buy Valentine's stuff.

Lol it’s one after another. I enjoy Halloween except buying candy which I won’t because we will go away to trick or treat. My fave is st Patrick’s Day. I’m Irish (and British)officially now that I got my dna results lol makes sense
We have to go into town to give out candy, which we enjoy. St. Patrick's and New Year's are adult party days. Halloween is a little at bars, which is fun. I remember you telling me about you DNA test. I know you can't keep track who you told.:) Btw, I saw two different trucks that you can drive on rails last week. And I thought of your dad. Like I said before, I wanted to do that as a kid. It still intrigues me. I always wanted to drive one of those trucks too on the rails.

That’ll be fun for you to give out candy. Trucks on rails sounds cool. Yeah my dad is known as the railroad man for sure. He lived and breathed it for well over 30 years
I try to remember things on here. Some stick, some don't. I mostly chat with you, Chad, GotHighMadeAMeme, and isayisay. That's enough to keep track of. Lol Btw, I hope that isn't Blizzards she smashed in the pic. ;)

I’d cry for real. Thanks picasso! :) past couple weeks since we all been sick I’ve definitely been pretty slow lol
Today coming home, a guy I kinda know has his Christmas decorations out. He has a bunch of light up plastic figures. I met him once, he lost his wife a few years ago. That was one of the things they like to do. So I give him some slack.

My next door neighbour still has her Christmas tree up from last year!
I kid you not...
I'm extremely annoyed every time the TV is saturated with Christmas Deals from stores, even worse how the start of the holidays is where they abandon their families on a day you are thankful for what you have to get a good deal. I'm jewish btw, so I don't celebrate Christmas.
Retail stores took advantage of most people being off for the Friday after Thanksgiving. I used to stand in long checkout lines a long time ago. Now I don't even bother. Big screen TV'S are big sellers, but usually last year's models. Btw, if I don't see you here in comments, I wish you the happiest of Hanukkah.

They aren't TV's anymore, now they're just large flatscreen smart TV's with apps like Netflix, Amazon, etc. It's too overwhelming with the amount of screens.
