No my dear, I am just extremely distressed over Tuesday, and afraid for all of us in more ways than one. I may never recover from it. I will try to be more upbeat.

There really is no hope for me and the OT thread. I just don't spend that much time online. That old corvette looks nice. It might snow or rain here tonight, i hope. Just got tags for the truck, $288 dollars later. The tags don't even have gold on them, why $288?

How many of y'all have satellite tv? I just got a deal I could not turn down on NFL ticket. Very unusual for that greedy greedy corporation to give anyone anything.

Man, your age is just jumping out all over the place. Not that being young is a bad thing, in a way I suppose. I am not sure how bad things may get here. That is a 55 or 56 T-Bird, I can tell the difference if I am a little closer, but from that distance I would say it's a 56.

Mark..stop worrying. There is no use in worrying about things you cannot change. The world is not going to stop spinning. And that is enough politics for the day!

Expensive vehicle. They assume you have bucks. Price tag will be a lot less for renewals but they really should tell you to bring the vaseline when you go in for new plates...

Definitely not a 57 Travis. The 57 had the flared out fins. I know there is a huge classic car show every year at Lowe Speedway and I am seeing enough nice stuff around town right now to suspect it may be this weekend. I went a few years ago. They have an auction too, and I saw a 68 Corvette identical right down to the color and engine of the one I bought brand new in March of 1968 go for 70k. I only paid 6200 for mine and they gave me 3300 for the 65 I traded in. I remember my payments were $122.00 per month, for 3 years.

well now that I look that car is exactly like my friends Dad's car. Black 56, completely original, kept under a cover in a heated garage ever since I was in grade school (I'm 36 now) I have no idea what it would be worth now. I think it only has like 6,000 miles on it.

Ya, i was expecting 100, maybe 150, but when the lady said 288.64 I said "can you repeat that one more time" Also, the first license plates that they get me were 666-ZDE, ya got different ones.

Did you get a different number?

I don't think I'd want 666 either..thats asking for trouble.

Did you get emissions?

Okay ma'am.

Is that for one year? That is criminal and also why I have Alaska plates on both my motor home and PSD. 100 bucks every 2 years for each vehicle. I had to put SC plates on my Vdub because it's gasoline and not exempt from emissions like the other 2 are. NC is a total PITA at the DMV because of all of the illegals primarily. I was in and out of the SC office in less than a half an hour.
