Post a picture you took today

Yes, but the actual handicapped spot is several feet to his left no? He looks like his is parked in the cross hatch zone where they give handicapped people extra room in exit/enter their vehicle.

I was being a smart a$$, they’re so handicapped they missed the spot.

I forgot to post this yesterday as I pulled out of my driveway. It's been 8 months and I've already clocked 11k miles in ownership of Gold Bird.

I finally saw one!

 

[Rodeo Joe]

Electric? Haven't seen one like that around here.

Wowsers. From the wiki page on them:

The ICE variant has an estimated fuel efficiency of 14.7 mpg‑US (16.0 L/100 km), decreasing to 8.6 mpg‑US (27 L/100 km) when the air conditioning is on. For comparison, the earlier LLV (built 1987–94) and FFV (2000–01) have an average observed fuel consumption of 8.2 and 6.9 mpg

Wowsers. From the wiki page on them:

6mpg drop from AC? What the hell! The LLV drop is about typical for AC usage

I’m not sure if the one I saw was gas or EV but I’d not expect our area to go EVs with these.

That and I was also shocked at the mileage for the old S-10 chassis based vehicles. Seems like it would be more efficient to deliver the mail with a '69 F-250 with a 390 pulling an enclosed trailer.

I’m guessing they must be rated in a way that reflects the constant stop-start usage rather than the more typical city driving of a consumer vehicle.

My son had his race at Vail Lake today. While he's not the best on the team, he has made significant improvements in abilities and determination.

St that age my bike had 35hp, lol.

I was watching a clip about transponders in MA, and noticed something on the left side of the screen. That vinyl top though.

Illinois switched to the stickers instead of the transponders too and I hate it, I do not like putting stickers on my windows!!!!

I hate any kind of stickers on my vehicles, anytime I get a car and it has the dealership decal on it, the first thing I do is rip that off.

Doing some yard work and getting the place in shape as summer is coming around. Had to take a second to admire how good the bird was looking at sunset

I don't think I fully adopted this mindset until 2016 when I removed the dealer-installed pinstripes from the Thunderbird, but my thought about the toll stickers is to stick them to a clear static cling vinyl sheet, then stick that to the windshield. Or maybe the toll stickers are static cling already. IDFK. I've never used the HOT lanes here.

My youngest asked to take a closer look at his future car today. Both are 89 XR7 5 speeds. The white one, affectionately called ole smokie, was abused with nitrous and almost 1/2 of the 2nd gear teeth missing off the main cluster gear when I bought it. The transmission was completely rebuilt and is a solid 5 speed. The red car is a rusty Detroit car that I probably should have driven home to STL, but the cloth interior is super nice. The plan is the rob from the red car and build a decent 1st car for youngster.

Oh yeah, I've been robbing parts off these cars for my 92 SC for more than 10 (maybe 15) years.

Does the 91+ bumper fit the grille on the white car? Don't think I've seen that done before.

I don't recall it not fitting well, but the bracket was broken and the grill was partially held in with the bra that came on the car.

Not today but a couple days ago, but we also got a ton of snow here yesterday and the roads are slick as S**T, its April for goodness sakes

 

[1997ThunderbirdLXV6]

Just had this in my news feed. What happened to Duplicolor?!

I’ve used the Upol products, they’re not bad.

I actually painted my valve cover on the TC with Upol.

I haven’t been able to find Duplicolor at autozone for years, just rustoleum and some other crap. I get paint from Advance, Napa or O’Reillys, they still have duplicolor and VHT

 

[Grog6]

The guy at our AZ converted his SC to an easyrod; it's better if I don't go there.

Hahaha, I guess it’s just habit but shit I’ll do it

I took a plcture of my stitches I had taken out today...

You mean like the older ford front end swaps? those look awful. They belong on the cars they were made for imo
