u r correct sir. mostly bored. anything different suits me just fine. what ever fits the moment. bye-bye and buy bonds.

Torino · ‎20-11-2020

okay. then when should everyone evacuate? run for your lives! got a date for me? and are they gonna leave the deep roast behind? i haven't had a cup of jamaican blue mountain in years. i'll run the gamut.

gated shift Ferrari. why not? it'll be at the dealership in a month or two anyway. have em put a clutch, pressure plate ,throw out bearing in while they're at it.whats 10 or 15 grand (at least ) extra matter? (ps) way to go Lewis!

(ps) i live in jersey. we're one of 6-7 states that pay more in to the fed. then we get back out. like ny, conn. ca. meanwhile kentucky ( 4 e.g. ) typically gets at least two bucks back 4 every buck they put in. you think they'd at least send us here a thank you card. rationalization? how about basic math? run the numbers.

Torino · ‎17-11-2020

and they've been feeding people that same bs how long now.....? by the way a rationalization based on reason, observation and experience. - " when you were young and your heart was an open book.....you know you did ...you know you did...you did....

different vibe. either you get it or you don't. i'm looking to move to south philly soon.it's not a soft comfortable place to land but interesting. "every day is Wednesday " (mickey mouse club , anybody ?) the square peg in a round hole crowd. the creative freaks who are looking to live cheap. not being critical. to each their own.

Torino · ‎15-11-2020

wrong ! xlcr . hands down. i told a friend i wanted one and he was perplexed. then said "right the bike the devil would ride" a Citroen 2vc would place a close second. the delivery version,smelling of nicely baked bread. how's that for a contradiction?

Torino · ‎13-11-2020

there's no substitute for bad taste.

Torino · ‎12-11-2020

had a 74 ( 2.8 four speed) and a 76 ( worked 302 swap t-10 suspension etc ) good answer, good answer. my favorite cars that i've ever owned , both, great cars.

Torino · ‎06-11-2020

i don't remember a caddy in scarface. i do remember hearing how howard hawks (?) got an earful by the, (what was it called 'standards and practices' )because the movie was too violent.

Torino · ‎05-11-2020

(ps) i never said i was nice. i could say affable but why bother.

Torino · ‎05-11-2020

misogynistic? what the hell. did that come from your word of the day calendar? i know women who'd cut you from crotch to eyeball with a butter knife and laugh. pinball machines are physical sensual ,video games not so much. also passionate. " cars are our passion "? - so yes, 'the razors edge' is a must read.

Torino · ‎04-11-2020

sure, okay, how? channel your somerset maugham

Torino · ‎03-11-2020

video games suck. just a bunch of lunkhead guys staring at a screen. not to date myself but where i grew up they still had some good old fashion pinball machines. nothing like having a girl mosey on up to you lean on her elbows put her drink on that thick glass with a thunk and say 'hi' . old tech rules.

Torino · ‎02-11-2020

didn't know that but being that i mistaken took them as covers only highlights their p.o.s. appeal.

my vote cavalier z-24. 89-90 or so. the square checkerboard centers..yuck..

play / touche . it rhymes. nobody gets me. a fly in the ointment.

Torino · ‎31-10-2020

u r a well informed man

" you shoplifted as a child. i had a model smile.you carried all my hopes.until something broke inside" -polly jean take that!

Torino · ‎30-10-2020

sajeev, what are you? one of those strict freudians? - freak - you're on the automotive self help site. do they actually pay you for this?

Torino · ‎30-10-2020

not familiar with to tell you the truth. but reminds me of - " here come the black and whites. here come the motorcycles. riding down the street...johnny copper on parade - randy newman. baltimore is his best.

Torino · ‎30-10-2020

i believe it was carl jung who diagnosed your malady as " wishful thinking".

Torino · ‎28-10-2020

i said lyric but if you're gonna force my hand - 'diamonds on my windshield' and 'ol 55' both tom waits.

Torino · ‎27-10-2020

so many engines too little time.

Torino · ‎26-10-2020

i'm saying no. gotta go more original . however if the cleveland then cast iron 2bbl heads and a bud moore torque box intake. lots of out of the corner grunt. or ,better yet , just ask jon k.

Torino · ‎26-10-2020

oh, right. that's what the pharmacist meant! k,y, i thought he was talking about shocks and struts. here we go again.

Torino · ‎25-10-2020

2 hamilton and dixon. and a hardy handshake to bourdais for getting a.j. so close to the podium.

*********stop*********read all instructions before continuing

Torino · ‎23-10-2020

w/what engine?

Torino · ‎23-10-2020

again lyric not song. may be included in song - pick your choice from any in ' little deuce coupe' 4 eg. or i'm thinking- ' i took out my revenge on the revolution counter' you can't ever go wrong with gram parsons but i like dave edmunds cover better to tell you the truth.

Torino · ‎22-10-2020

must withdraw my opening comment. #1 " i've got a thunderbird parked right outside" - robert palmer . bonnie raits version of that song 'your gonna get whats coming' dosen't suck either

Torino · ‎22-10-2020

not song but lyric. me, i'm going with 'jesus built my hotrod'- ministry. if you need help/ inspiration try 'the reverend horton heat'. galaxy 500 is a good place to start.

Torino · ‎21-10-2020

' if it doesn't fit force it. if it breaks it needed to be replaced anyway'. - old expression.

Torino · ‎21-10-2020

yea, seems like almost everyone's gone back to chains. i remembering spinning a cam into my 74 capri ( a great car ) long ago and finding gear on gear. new one on me then. those 2.8 'cologne' engines were different. i replaced the water pump soon after buying her. the guys at the auto parts looked at me and laughed when i asked them to make sure the gasket was included. 13 bolts? looked like a squiggle.

Torino · ‎21-10-2020

earnhardts car really? i think you're confusing the paint scheme with the driver. the car was ok at best and those last gen. monte carlos are some of the butt ugliest cars ever manufactured. what you're describing sounds more like 'the death mobile' from animal house. i'm the first to admit my opinion is biased but if your talking stock cars i'll go with the wood brothers classic every day and twice on sunday. rogers camaros? blue and yellow are complementary colors ,yea that works. only with or w/o the vinyl roofs they had 'because we just like the way it looks' i think they said. sam posey told a much the same story about acid dipping when he was running the sublime green challengers in t/a. it's a good one.

Torino · ‎20-10-2020

also posed the question without really thinking about it. top of my head 'the pig' le-mans porsche (917?) any of the classic gulf blue-orange livery, penskes marlboro indy cars (simple yet), speaking of cigarettes jordan was sponsored by benson hedges and when the ban on advertising first took place in some countries they did a 'b' uzzing 'h' ornets' thing that was really cool, which takes me to j. stewarts f-1 effort. the 'stripe' was a scarf that's the traditional stewarts scottish clan colors. subtle but smart. sure there are lots more.

Torino · ‎20-10-2020

one of my favs too but pontiacs stylists saw it and used it on the trans-am. ( it really is where they got it from) and i mean c'mon ' i'll git you bandeet!' no wrong. watch 'smokey and the bandit' then watch 'the hustler' same same. (ps) but i don't mind it on the cosworth vega much more subdued.

84-87 288 gto ( looked it up,curiosity killed...) f355 was also a good looking piece. as for driving the hell out of it,what did they say about those years 'they broke down while sitting in the driveway'. f355 needed to have its timing belts changed every 15,000 miles if memory serves me correct and the engine had to be removed to do so. piss poor engineering that. so as for storing for years then driving i was being facetious. oh, and just buy the dodgers cap. guy i knew did when some chick told him he looked like selleck.

Torino · ‎19-10-2020

or did they call that the g.t.o. forget.

Torino · ‎19-10-2020

if your friend finds the car tell him where... or start off small, you got to start somewhere right? thanks for the advice .

Torino · ‎19-10-2020

actually like the styling of the 308. was it pininfarina? if forced to buy a ferrari might consider the 308 on steroids testa rossa (19- 87-89 ?) that they built supposedly for group'e' b. just out of the box enough.put it in the climate controlled garage,don't drive it for years, then one day get a wild hair up my ass,spool up the turbos and see how long it takes to chuck a rod.send it back to marinello (sp?) with a note that says-' ooblah-dee- ooblah-da- life goes on.' ah yes, the life of having more money then any of us can imagine.

Torino · ‎19-10-2020

no, don't have the car. if i did wouldn't want to sell the brochure. besides according to the lit. it came with ' motore chevrolet-corvette da 365 hp'. i'm a Ford man. what was it that bill elliot said about his father - i swear if you cut em he'd bleed ford blue -.if i did have could do an engine swap. save the original for posterity, go aluminum block 289 maybe a 331 stroker ,gurney-weslake heads, quartet of webers. but you know a slippery slope. the next thing you know you're some shmuck wearing a gas monkey tee shirt installing airbags.yikes!

Torino · ‎18-10-2020

(ps) re: silicone, you mean sealing leaking gutters right?

Torino · ‎18-10-2020

are you sure you're on the right ' forum' ? soon you'll be writing - 'dear hagerty you probably won't believe this but....' and don't even get me started on trailer hitches.

Torino · ‎18-10-2020

and now the comedy stylings of....

Torino · ‎18-10-2020

i've got an apparently rare bizzarrini gt 5300 b.p. brochure. ( last one sold at bonhams 2006) cool but i'm not doing anything with it. contacting some online 'buyers' now but i'll take any advice someone familiar with doing such has got.

Torino · ‎18-10-2020

duct tape. a million and one ' temporary' repairs for your vehicle and works better than band-aids when you do that nasty ' oh yea that's bleedin' knuckle buster. the glue acts a disinfectant too i think but a quick spray of carb cleaner never hurts (just stings a bit). - (ps) gear shift knob? way too funny.
