Speaking of Green Acres - there is a thread on this forum about the new Bronco. I'd rather have this one. But that's just me.



I always loved this Bronco.

Nailed it. And thank you for the vote of confidence.

I could easily prove them wrong, but the resultant legal fees would take a big bite out of my "automotive playthings" budget. Not a good trade. I'd rather let them suffer their silly delusions and walk away, grinning like a butcher's dog.

You know you're old when you know what "green pyramid," "window pane," "microdot," "blotter," and "orange sunshine" were...and you have first-hand experience with them.

I took a hit of green pyramid about an hour before a really important rifle match, thinking in my twisted mind that it would improve my focus. I've never been so wrong about anything, before or since. It was a long day on the range.

Only happened once that I know of, and wasn't me in the hot seat.
forgot all about punch cards. FORTRAN 77.

The "Pickin' and Grinnin'" sketches were the best. Roy Clarke was a motherf*cker.

Me too! So easy with my FWD Scirocco and it's 60% front biased weight distribution. Just flick the wheel and physics worked in your favor. Now about that braking from (relatively) high speeds...

When that girl you use to walk home to school with and make out dont wanna go to the liquor store to get some takis and arizona anymore. But instead on instagram shes eating rooftop food with big plates with tiny portions. And she be eating that avocado toast luxury stuff. We use to eat the seasoned fries at jims burgers and mc flurry at mcds but shes eating that high fashion stuff. And we even talked about how those expensive foods arnt worth it and just the same food but a scam. But i still see her 3 blocks away from me, dayum we use to kick it around the hills and i would show her my black book.

I didn't think so but I must have lived a sheltered life. I assume what you're talking about but have never heard of these. No need to elaborate.
