Hey, what was that tabletop game from the 70s or 80s that was like a sort of small, vertical fake pinball, with one flipper and basin of little steel balls?
Like this one:
It is called begatelle.

Ah, interesting - close!
The one I remember was more like one of these - a Pachinko machine? Though I don't remember the layout being quite like this.

Haha, what's so terrifying about it? He was a good runner!
Terrifying! And to think he used to be the White House Press Secretary. Double terrifying!

I got a new Shelf from Home Depot online. When I first assembled it, I totally questioned it's built quality. No screws at all to hold it together. I was about to throw it in the trash as I hung it on the wall and didn't like it. But I went over the instructions, made sure it's press fit was correct, Put it up and puts me stuff on it.
I wanted a place by my wash area to hold my foam cannon and Pump sprayer. I like that it's matching Red and it was the right size. Well after I rehung it and went over everything. It works as it should and I put a Tool box liner on it. It's nice check it out.

So after I decided the Shelf was cool, I picked up another Towel bar for underneath to hang bottles as needed. Or I could use it to hang drying towels and use the other Towel bar for bottles on the left. Either way I like my small little wall storage area for wash stuff.
The shelf is this if you like it. it's on a stupid good sale right now which sucks as I purchased mine before this sale but whatever I like it and I might buy another one.

Looking at this picture, I'm gonna replace the Adams Polishes sign with Hyperclean Banner. I only have 1 and I use it at car Shows so I'm going to grab another one for the garage.
Here is what it looks like , it's hanging in the back of my tent setup

The original Big Wheel was introduced in 1969 and sold by Marx until 1981. The Green Machine was introduced in 1975. Both are still available in some form or another. Ownership rights and/or patents seem to have changed hands several times over the years.
I never had either one. Or that Marvel Mustang I wanted in 1970. I did, however, have a green Schwinn bike with a shifter and a few other cool doo-dads. Sort my "Green Machine".
My parents bought me a purple one with the 5 speed. I delivered the Washington Post for a couple of years. I used those handlebars for a cradle. I grew strong during those years. I could ride a wheelie for 1/4 mile too.
I have to add I was one of the thousands who got impaled by a knobless shifter when I went to hop a curb and didn't make it. I almost became a trans by accident.
I was very lucky and it missed all vitals but I did need stitches. That was 100% imbarasing. 
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

I never had a big wheel, they were too expensive. I definitely would have launched one had I been able to.
I built ramps just like those to Evel Knievel over garbage cans, you know I did!

1967 Dodge Charger by Reliably Retro, on Flickr -
I saw a '66-'67 Charger in an old garage yesterday. Only the grill/bumper were peeking out from under a worn out car cover, but I could see the roof line under it. Took me back years, it was the coolest car ever to me at the time.
-
Still a lot of damage from Ian in New Smyrna that I saw last week.
-
That original Charger was indeed a bit of a shock to the system when it appeared on the scene.

WOW! What a coincidence! I ordered some DeSoto brochures (1958 and 1959) just yesterday.

That's not a speaker on the right. I had to zoom in to check too. -
This magazine ad sort of goes along with Mark's reference to car interiors.

I have posted this picture previously but I like to remember mine. A wonderful man gifted me a 1957 Dodge convertible exactly like this one. I drove it to high school in 1962-1963 then to work after school at his very large supermarket in Bremen GA. It was a very difficult car to maintain and keep running. It would often not start after turning the engine off. Push button transmission to the left of the steering wheel. I suffered my first hangover of two in my life in the back seat one Sunday afternoon while my friend drove.
