    Back in the early 80's we lived in Aurora, IL. There was a stand-up bar nearby the house, can't recall the name. No women allowed as it reduced bar fights and there were no bar stools. If you couldn't stand you didn't drink.

    In the early 80’s I lived in NJ. One Saturday I was with my buddy and his dad, and We were drinking all day at his uncles bar in Chester. On the way home we stopped at this little bar in the middle of nowhere,called the River Styx. The entire bar had a dirt floor.

    But....if you transfer $4,500.00 today to cover his cost to ship all that money to you? It's all yours!

    Not to fret. I still know how to contact him. My nominal fee is only 1.6K. Chump change after you get your money! PM me for more details...

    Saw that on ASR. I've encountered it before someplace (heck, maybe earlier in this very thread) but its wry understatement made me chuckle, so I figured I'd share. B)

    Hey guys, need some advice. Which one of these would you go with as the most professional looking avatar to use in Microsoft Teams for work? Something that'll really impress the bosses.

    I figured there was a back story -- but the image was story enough.
    It was a nice plane, too -- a Piper Comanache.
    If the arrows were removed, and if it were flightworthy, it would, presumably whistle when it flew.

    Therefore, presumably, alerting any deer in its path. Well, maybe reindeer.

    When it flew towards the Gates of Dawn? As long as it's not a (bag)Piper.

    Yes, it is. And the other pic with peeps in it has Chip Foose in the center.

    The Concours D’Elegance on Sunday supposedly has John Oates as a judge. He’s a well-known Porsche fanatic.
