I replaced my original 16' foot cheapo 'lo spec' wooden door that came with my garage package when I built it. The windows were situated too low for me to look out of without stooping and it was sagging and worn, so I replaced it with a newer wooden one complete w/ sunburst panels for the top panel windows. The installer "twisted' my arm to make me accept a motorized opener (for which I traded him the old door). After about a decade it needed attention, so I replaced rollers, hardware, tightened nuts, etc, and had it coated w/ ceramic paint (along with the garage.) I also installed a new DIY Chamberlain door opener, that had issues new from the box, but that's a story for another day! 🙂 ... View more

Not a car "dealer" per se, but I had the great fortune to live near the GM Lakewood plant during the 60's-70's. From time to time, the air would be permeated with what we jokingly referred to as "new car making" scent! Each fall, the huge parking lots would have cloth barriers attached to the fencing to block views of the newly manufactured cars. I particularly remember people lining the fence, and poking holes in the liner to see the new 1965 Impalas!  🙂   ... View more

During one of my "targeted" book reading spells, I devoured everything that I could find about Mr. Yeager's exploits. "The Right Stuff" remains as one of my favorite movies, that also helped to spread knowledge of his contributions to flight and aircraft development in the U.S.    ... View more
