    A GT Performer? Chick's hot, but pretty sure Eddie Fiola is still gonna want his bike back.

    Winner of the “way back machine” award for today - I haven’t heard that name in 30 years…! My hero’s back in the BMX days were Stu Thompson and RL Osborne…. Good times!

    Reminds me of a Lab I once had. Ol' Josey's face turned gray just like this in her old age. She was a great watch dog and was very protective of our family. When she was about a year old, we introduced a second puppy we got to her. Miko was a mix of Siberian Husky & Akita and was a wonderful dog. Josey took on a parent role with Miko Dog and was extremely protective of that puppy. Two great members of our family and I remember them often. Thanks for sharing this one Ken and bringing back some good memories.

    Mike Buff, Mike Dominguez and Harry Leary. Need I go on?

    I had Mike Buff “Z Wheels” rims on my Kuwahara race bike;-)

    This is daddy's girl right now. My Miss Mele Aloha. <3 This pic is several years old and Mele's been showing her age. Regardless, she's still quite sassy and playful for a 14yr old Pomeranian. I don't like to think about it, but I know she'll break my heart one day unless I buy it first.

    Janey and I have decided on no more pets once all of our pack is gone. It's just too hard when they leave us. Some of y'all probably remember the wreck I was when our Keiko passed. It was this one and many of you polkies that helped us through her loss. It's one of the worst experiences in life when these members of a family pass away. :'(

    Beautiful pup, Mike! Dog's faces are the best!
    The black and white photo was posted by Jim Knight a former Polk employee. I'm afraid I don't know the dog's name.

    $87k in this day and age for a very vintage Corvette in fine condition doesn't seem ridiculous. Not at all ridiculous -- unfortunately. :|
    That said, at least aesthetically, not my fave Corvette by a long shot. That is a nice example, though.

    It's not my fave either, but the 1961 is my favorite year previous to my favorite era (1963-1972).

    I prefer the 4 headlights (1958 and later) to the 2 headlights that the 1957 and previous had.

    I prefer the cove with the backward scoop (1958 -1961). It was changed in 1962, and while still cool, not as cool as the ones before (in my opinion, of course).

    The 1960 and earlier had the same rear clip, which looks "old-fashioned" to me, compared to the 1961 - 1967 rear.

    So, the 1961 is the only year pre-1963 that "checks all of the boxes" for me. (I hate that cliche almost as much as "pull the trigger".)

    And I am sure none of this matters to anyone else. :p

    If you were going to mod one for performance I would want a 57 Vette, weight 2730 lbs vs 2940 lbs for the 62. I knew a guy in high school who had one with a modded 327 in it. It was a very quick car.
    My 68 Z/28 was 3150 lbs. for comparison. All cars with 4 speed trans, not auto. No power steering in my Z.

    You just brought me down memory lane. Non Powered Steering.in the last 45 years I've owned tons of vehicles. I read that & couldn't remember what I had that was non powered steering. Maybe a 1970"s Chevy C10 with 3 on the tree. Or a newer late 70's Chevy truck. I had a few cars back in the day that were non powered steering..... I do remember the early Chevy C10 had the gas cap behind the driver's door & the Cab mounts rusted & I jacked up the cab & I put a 2×4 across the frame & lowered it down & it kept the frame from gouging the fuel tank IIRC.. Those were the days. You could buy a vehicle for 50-200.00 & beat the snot out of it & junk it & buy another

    That same Chevy C10 I'd get to a stop sign & the linkage would lock up & I'd have to open the hood & frig with the linkage. Lmao

    That’s what happens when you haven’t played in 40 years. 😝

    So what did you play 40 years ago? The Mongolian zither?

    No. Affil.

    Correct me if I'm wrong. Don't "used" flash bulbs, look like the ones shown in the ad photos?
    New glass does not grow on the bulbs as they age.

    I remember the bulb type ones in the ad. They came out HOT.

    I still have some old Flashcubes and Magicubes.
