this morning.

Nice guy and he's doing one hell of a job on a Torino.

Who is "Jack"?

Eisboch

It's me. Tom stopped by and gave me a six-pack of some good ale and
we talked a while. Same feelings here... he's a genuine good guy and
welcome back anytime. Even if he's not a Gamecock / Spurrier fan. :-)

What year's your Torino? I had a Merc Montego Sport 1970

Mine's a 1970 Torino GT. 351C 4V, auto, AC, power disc brakes. It
needs work, but here's a pic.

Kind of starting a resto / mod on it right now.


Nice!

Something about that vintage car captures my interest. Never went for the
real "oldies" (although I appreciate them).

I like the muscle car era.

He's got a 351 Cleveland in it with Flowmasters.

He's doing a hell of a job with it too. It's a very clean car, but
Jack has pretty much located everything to put it back to rights.

Love the black color.

I had a '70 Torino GT in my senior year in high school. It was white
with red interior, and had that yellow/red "laser" stripe down the
side. This black one is my early mid-life crisis. Plus I love
fabricating and pulling wrenches, so it's therapeutic.

Funny story... I could have bought a '69 Super Bee, twin ram 383,
parked but all matching in good shape back in '83 or so for $500.
Passed on it. Duh! Another "one that got away" story...


I like the muscle car era.


Yeah, me too. Too many cars, not enough time. :-)

Sweet looking ride. Is it a gas sucking pig. My 1972 Mustang with 302 2V
got about 12 MPG. I was 18 or 19 at the time.

Speaking of gas prices, now that the supply/demand basis of our economy has
driven gas prices down, the Fed now wants to raise the federal tax on gas by
10 cents a gallon (12-15 cents for diesel) and is encouraging individual
states to also raise their taxes.

You can't win.

Have you seen what Oregon wants to do. Charge per mile driven for
vehicles registered in the state.

They wanted us to reduce burning dino-fuel, well we did. Their revenue
took a hit. Now their coffers are empty and they are in a panic.

Why is it that the state can't ever take a pay cut?

Check out the governor of Oregon's latest idea. They could do this with
boats also.

In principal, I favor raising fuel taxes if the money raised is spent on
road projects or ways to improve efficiency of cars and trucks. The
problem is, the funds raised aren't earmarked for transportation.

I spent an hour down at the boatyard this week helping a buddy haul and
winterize his boat. Another friend was there (ok...it was an excuse to
get out of the house and shoot the ****), a guy who is a much more avid
fisherman than I am. He has a 28' boat with two big outboards on it. His
boat is for sale. He can afford the gas for it whatever it costs, but
thinks it is "stupid" to be burning "so much gas" for a hobby. So, as
soon as his current boat is sold, he's downsizing to a 21-23' something
or other.

The way things are today economically, I think it smart to be very
cautious about spending liquid assets. Obama is inheriting a world of woe.

I noted this program months ago here and it was poo'pooed by the usual
trolls. It is really a progrram connected to the Insurance industry
but that's another story. As to Harrys comment, he better hang on to
his money, Obama and Pelosi are talking $1.50 tax on gas per gallon
cause "we can afford it". It's a middle class tax hike, nothing less...
