Good Morning Bill--you still in Ohio or are you down in Florida?? BTW I have no idea how Ohio ranks on the site. Based on the roll call I'd say not well--but If you look at the post counts for some threads they get some ok numbers.

Bought my first car 39 years ago today, 1/21/71. I still have that same car and in 39 years I put 4,200 miles on it ! Thats a little over 100 miles a year! I still love my car after all these years.

I wish I could say its a 71 hemi cuda, but it really is a 1958 ford fairlane 500 2 door hardtop that I payed $150 for. Thats all I could afford back then, I was 13 years old when I bought it.

A buddy of mine had a 58 retractable that is a neat car.There was a nice black and silver 58 Custom 300 i use to see around he use to cruise with a 57 and 59 300's in Brunswich it was funny all three where black and i think silver.The guy told me to flip the rear shackles on the leafs to hike up the rear of my 56 Fairlane.I didn't fit in my car was peach(buckskin tan) and white.

Hey Brian,
That funny cow bell made my computer go nuts. Both times I watched it I had to shut down and restart? I dont know why, and thats why I'm posting here instead of there in that post. I liked it till it messed me up!

I only have problems with two sites I frequent. It's all the crap on the sides that slows it down. Pop ups and ads just muddy it down so bad every time it has to refresh. Other more private sites I have no problems with, and the reason I don't come here that often anymore. At home it's almost bearable, but at work where my connection is slow it's rediculous.
