Is this the spider posting thread? Worried I missed it!

Catching up on Coleman pics too... That's how I'm able to eat through 50 yrs of rust. Vinegar works great on brass.

Ran across this picture on Flickr today while perusing emergency vehicles.



This one is an AZ DPS unmarked unit. There is one just like it, with AZ plates that I have seen a few times in Ventura. Makes me wonder what it's doing all the way out here.

Might have to take you up on that, Sean


If I hadn't been looking down, I might have missed the entrance. I guess a little tape wasn't in the budget"

Very cool looking little critter, whatever he is.

Those Rockwell axles look like 6 lug, not 8. Body lift is always kinda scary. Might be a cool little project though...the Olds motor would have to go.

I own a little SWHC, and it is up almost 10% for the day. On a day when the DOW is down 300 points. So I would say brisk sales are expected.

I've been sitting in the first aid station at the LA Convention center all day, since 6:30am and not a single thing has happened ALL day.... Still got an hour to go, but I dont have any expectations. There are 4 EMTs on duty today; me and a girl in the South Hall, and 2 guys in the West Hall. They have done nothing either. I napped and watched netflix all day. Good thing we get 50% off at the cafeteria and Starbucks!

Humph.
