  1. 2005 bus... 20 year old motor coach, probably not required to have seat belts.
  2. Roy Roger's drove a Datsun... The Datsun Patrol:
  3. Buffalo should be publicly owned like Green Bay... But that's not allowed. That's the only thing that's acceptable. Screw these pukes...
  4. I'll take a litre of cola, don't spit in it.
  5. Rich people welfare. And we complain about student loan forbearance. /smdh
  6. Even worse in the 1980s, wasn't there known problem? Known for electrical issues and sparks? They were blowing up the second the blower switch was turned on. Why it's important we don't lock hazmat barges through with pleasure craft... Say with 7,000 tons of ammonium nitrate... Never know when one of you nuts will throw a spark! 💥 💥 there goes the whole southeast side of Chicago.😉
  7. Sad. In the movie: "A Man Called Otto," wasn't that bus crash on an excursion to Niagara Falls? Weird... Sad too... 😔😟
  8. Yet... Sea Ray's are notorious for exacerbating operator error greatly and sometimes doing it themselves...😉
  9. Because they blow up. Wait for it, wait... (~1:00 😉)
  10. Just across the border in Pennsyltucky: Zippo lighter museum & store... Plant... In Bradford... https://zippo.com/pages/zippo-case-museum-flagship-store
  11. And the bin of oil dry (kitty litter)... Father would be hot if we didn't part in said spot... He'd go crazy with the loose goosy rules people follow today... don't even park on same side of street in the direction of traffic anymore, etc...
  12. My father drove Plymouth Valiants in 1960s, early 70s... The blue '68 had the gall to "drop" its tranny on my grandmother's driveway... Actually Chevy no better... When my father met my mother, he had a '55... Only go forward. 😆... Always "pull through"... If he wanted reverse, have to crawl under vehicle and screw with the linkage... Maybe it was just him... People don't realize how cars sucked years ago... 2-3 years out, they were spent. Dropping a fuel tank, losing a band after 2 years?? Snowy BFLo winters! Steel bands = Rot. We had a 1981 Mazda GLC, by 1985, the floor was gone... holes so big you can see the road. Rice burners are bigger rust buckets than Jeeps! Ever see an FJ40 Landcruiser today... If you do, it's a pile of rust or worth a zillion dolla! ☝️☝️ ...There's a "pull out" joke in this post somewhere!😆🤣
  13. Transmissions always a Chrysler problem going way back. They just carried it over...
  14. My mother inlaw was born in Mt.Morris and moved to Olean as a baby... She always talks about "Rock City." Here's a day trip we did in early 1970s after Kinzua Dam (mentioned) opened. The fish hatchery there: https://www.fws.gov/fish-hatchery/allegheny https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegheny_National_Fish_Hatchery SideNote: On a Sunday with my father's 1973 Chevy Impala wagon... It was 1975 and it dropped it's gas tank losing a tank band... Brother sitting in back: "Hey Dad! There's sparks flying behind car!" Dad: "Shut up, there's no sparks!" LoL... Anyway... Back in day, not even gas stations were open on Sunday in Northwestern PA... We found rope somewhere and got home... Still remember eating cold "city chicken" on side of road as he rigged tank up.
  15. It's not bad... Better at certain times of the year. I have a theory on how Father Baker knew there was natural gas under the Basilica in Lackawanna. He kept on drilling and praying until he hit gas... The Basilica generates its own natural gas to this day... Anyway... My theory is he knew of the "Eternal Flame" atop the ridge/escarpment. But let's give credit to prayer and hitting the gas field under WNY...😉 ...You can actually see the top of the Basilica and Bills FieldHouse from the toboggan hill @ Chestnut Ridge.
  16. Very little rust too... It's a daily driver for 14 years... Little bit where I beat it up. The windshield frame from inside... Hasn't made it out yet. Cheap repair... Can even get replacement in aluminum or fiberglass... Almost 20 years old in harsh Northern environment...
  17. Old trope. My 2006 TJ... Running great! Bought it brand new and will keep it forever. Take a look in junkyards... You don't see classic Jeeps, CJs, YJs, TJs, & JKs...
  18. Works for Apple 🍎...😏
  19. $40.00! and the challenge is NOT reimbursed if you complete it? Gimmick, they are charging you for picture and T-shirt...🤣 Dumb... What's the challenge? To see if they can dupe you out of money in your wallet for a promo picture & T-shirt.😆
  20. Phoenix & Salt Lake City are further west longitude than Easter Island.🗿
  21. Toyota were also notorious for engine oil sludging and stuck accelerators with floor mats in the 20-naughts... I probably won't get another Toyota. Ain't bad... This is my second Taco... But meh... WtF can't Toyota do things like include the tailgate lock in fob... Gotta go aftermarket to tie one in... Same with adding trailer brakes, had to add aftermarket. Also... The slightest little loss of ground at battery, won't kill the vehicle, but electronics go schizo... For the life of me couldn't figure out why radio was rebooting, other electronics acting squirrelly... Had a bad ground adapter (after market) running offnegative terminal so I can have extra power distribution box under hood. Seems Toyotas are built too sensitive. Terminal block tests fine, but just doesn't play nice... Had to get a replacement... Probably last 5 years too. Probably go back to Jeep. Still running my 2006 Jeep TJ... They hold value better than Toyota.
  22. Only to get their livers strategically targeted by wise guy orcas.
  23. Orcas kill sharks for fun. Go right to the sharks liver and rip it... Then play with their liver and leave the rest. Yeah, I know they are sharks, but what a bunch of dickheads orcas are! Why not go tip an elite's sailboat off the coast of Spain or some place... The world don't need them.
  24. Exactly. ...It's the magic in it.😉
  25. You forgot Mt.Morris Dam & Letchworth. It saved Rochester in 1972, Hurricane Agnes: cc: @Mike in Horseheads @BringBackFergy
