I bet he was a happy customer.'57 Chevy Story:
I was decorating an office one time, and I bought a framed picture of a '57 Chevy at K-Mart. It was of a red '57 Chevy Convertible with a continental kit and skirts. You older guys may remember this popular picture. It is still cool to look at.
Anyway ......... my customer (from Indiana) asked if that was my car. I told him about buying the picture at K-Mart. He said "I've got three just like that one." I thought "Sure you do." He sent his wife out to their car to retrieve his picture album. He was not bullshipping. He had three of those things that he had restored himself. All identical right down to the continental kit and skirts.
It was the damnedest thing.
Like this.
He wasn't all that happy. He had driven down to get a relative out. Good guy.I bet he was a happy customer.
Bob Segar?"I was a little too tall, could've used a few pounds."
Makes me smile, every time I hear those words. Takes me back to a simpler time and great memories.
My youngest uncle had one of these.
Ha Ha, WINNING! woke up around 0900 and thought it was over. Laid there for a bit and it was 0915. Next I saw 0938 and then it was 1058. Got an extry 80 minutes for FREE. I love it when a plan comes together. Woke up, for real, and my wife was making bacon for bacon tomato sammys. Coffee was fresh brewed, drip, but that's ok for the weekend when she makes it for me. Golf will be brutal today, but I'll survive. As long as I know how to cool I know I'll be alive.
I've been watching your temperatures. Stay in the house. It is a hot heat.I actually saw two 58 Chebby convertibles in junk yards in 1986. One in Nashville and one somewhere back in the sticks in Ky. Pretty rough. Could have bought either for a couple of hundred bucks. Those days are loooooong gone.
IDK. Probably around $75 in my neighborhood.I haven't golfed in a long long time. How much does it cost to play a round of golf these days?
Why was a roomy back seat important to you in '78.............
Why can't they make "suv" this sharp and roomy as they did before? I have a 97 Tahoe (4door and its huge ! You see the ones today but they don't have any room even in cargo. Not only that they hold up and stronger. I was in a accident last year. Four car pile up. Three were totaled and all that happened to me was my mirror popped off. The car companies need to do throwback trucks and suv with the steel bumpers. I guarantee they will sell like crazy
On another note I love like the new throwback chargers and mustangs but they have zero room in interior. I had a 78 Malibu and you could camp out in the back seats. Now cars are so small back there. How can a charger look the same as 40 years ago but the interior is half the size ?

Lots of variables. Basically the cheapest, with no discounts, would be about $25 dollars during the week I'd say, $35 on the weekend.I haven't golfed in a long long time. How much does it cost to play a round of golf these days?
Exactly. Roomy front seat for me, you know, dashboard lights and all.Why was a roomy back seat important to you in '78.............
Possibly to store groceries or maybe just concerned about passenger comfort....Fuel economy standards
I included the cart in my estimate.Lots of variables. Basically the cheapest, with no discounts, would be about $25 dollars during the week I'd say, $35 on the weekend.
Things Learned Today About Oil Change Rip-Off Places
She drives a Kia. Her little Kia is a disposable car. People in Johns Creek have more money than good sense. The cars were lined up at Jiffy-Lube.
- A simple oil change at Jiffy-Lube is $45 plus tax in Johns Creek.
- A simple oil change at Jiffy-Lube is $25 plus tax in Lawrenceville.
- Jiffy-Lube doesn't have an owner according to the employees that I talked to today.
- Jiffy-Lube doesn't have a manager according to the employees that I talked to today.
- #4 needs to get her oil changed in Lawrenceville.
Actually they charge that $45 plus tax for 4.1 quarts of Shell 20 weight oil. It's a rip off in Johns Creek. Learn, #4.My guess is they got her for a full synthetic oil change. Ex DIL's mazda called for a full synthetic 20wt oil. Cost her 60 bucks each time so I started doing it to save em some money and my cost was still 40 bills. She could have been lying about cost as well. All she ever did was lie.
You are fine. Sorry to hear about the issues.I was going to be #4's hero. I was able to accomplish nothing. On top of everything else, QB had a sinkstopper breakdown problem in the MBR. Don't worry about it I can fix it. I can't. I don't understand it. Plumber. Probably will cost about $5,000.00. I'm helpless. A loser. Dud. And all that stuff.
Currently 102°F here in ATX. 20% chance of rain tomorrow afternoon and 40% Tuesday. Yay!Yes, it's hot.
