Yep, there are a few out their that still can be defined pretty easy, Mustangs, Camaro's  Challengers, along with most of the Chrysler lines. Dodge Magnums, Chrysler 300's but then Chrysler has always been a little different and would stand out in a crowd in most cases...................jmho 

I think  the auto makers have not had as much concerns over appearance as much and they have zeroed in on accessories and what new magic options they can come up with for the car to do on it's own. Like stop it if your not paying attention, warning your drifting out of your lane. telling you there is a car in your blind spots and so on and so forth. I noticed Chevolet has just began advertising their own Wi-Fi in their GM vehicle including their trucks.............jmho 

Comrade Cuomo is losing ground, manufacturing companies, and Jobs at a rate faster then the Presidents popularity polls. People are running from New York in big numbers.................jmho

Well my buddy and his wife are not exactly strangers to her. They have been neighbors for about 3 years and will have get together's  and cook outs on the patio's since they are on ground level. She doesn't mind bragging about what she gets in the way of help from the Government in paying her bills. She says her boyfriend is a bouncer at some fancy bar in down town Nashville and that is why he is gone till middle of the night. So no she does not shout out her personal business but she does not mind telling friends what she gets. I have heard her talk about it while being invited to the grill outs. Her boyfriend is paid in cash so his income is not included in their household finances. I have seen him  take a wad of money out of his pocket to give her to go get more beer at one of the cook outs and all I can say is bouncers job pays really good cause he roll of a Ben Franklin from a wad of them and handed it to her and my buddies wife rode along. The girl does not mind bragging to my buddies wife about how she lives.  Hope this answers your question about how we know about her personal business. And I don't take it personal at all Links. I just listen to people who love to brag about their free rides...........jmho

Well, I am glad someone can tell them apart. I was watching a car commercial on TV the other night and they had a Mercedes, a Mazda and a BMW in the commercial and it turned out to be a VW Jetta commercial and I had to wait till they told what car they were talking about to know who was paying for the commercial................jmho 

Yep and even though they won't allow you to buy alcohol and tobacco with the card, you can go to an ATM and take out money and go buy both with the cash so honestly is their anything you cannot buy with an EBT card????? :shrug: :shrug: ................jmho

In all honesty I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they are working understaffed 24/7 and sometimes you fall through the cracks and when they find you they fix it..................jmho

There is no shame if you have a streak of bad luck and you really need the help to get back on your feet. That is for sure and especially if you have a family to care for. I get upset when I go visit a buddy of mine that lives in an Apartment complex that is also section 8 Housing and he and his wife pay $890.00 plus all utilities for 2 bedrooms and put food on the table and both drive average year auto's.     Then you look at his neighbor which is a single girl with 3 kids and she pays 102.00 dollars pays for 3 bedroom, no utilities get $1,390.00 put on her EBT card every month and goes shopping in a fully dressed out Hummer with wheels that cost a $1,000.00 bucks each and sound system that rocks the whole truck and belongs to her live in boyfriend that also has no identifiable source of income. Those are the ones that make me mad.   I think everyone that receives Government subsidies such as Welfare and food Stamps should be required to take a drug test at any time without notice. Agents just show up at your door with a person qualified to draw blood and they pop your blood right there right then and screen it for illegal drugs. If your dirty your done feeding off the sweat and veins of the taxpayers forever period.......................................JMHO

Tennessee does not require boat trailers to have license plates and I know I have pulled through at least 25 states with most of them requiring residents to have them and i never got stopped the first time with no tags on trailer................... :shrug: :shrug:

I did an experiment today. I walked out in my front yard with a lawn chair and a pair of binoculars. I sat down with Binoculars in my lap and I was going to see how many cars I could recognize and call by name brand at about 35 feet from road to chair. I had a list of the 12 most popular cars of today. I would guess what brand it was and check mark next to name. Then I would us binoculars to verify my guess. I guessed at almost 250 cars on my two lane road in 3 hours.     Out of all of my guesses I got 11 correct and there was 17 that I never got to see the manufacturers emblem so didn't have a clue what they were. The reason I did this was I have been listening to the local news recently and when a crime is committed and there are witnesses over the last 2 months also doing a survey on this of all the witnesses that saw the get away car which was a total of 42 in 3 month not 1 person could tell you a make or a model.     They could only said it was a white 2 door or 4 door or a dark colored sedan. The only four that the witnesses could identify completely was a Chevy pick up 2 Dodge pick ups and 1 Ford pickup. i have also noticed over the last several years that I cannot tell a Mercedes from a Hyundai or a Toyota from a Nissan.     Does anyone else have these problems identifying different brands of automobiles or is it just folks like me that have not been new car shopping in the last 30 years? Have the auto makers just decided it is easier to copy the competition than it is to employ actual designing engineers to design cars and trucks for them so they can stand out in a crowd?   I use to look forward to the Fall of the year when the new car models would get released for the up coming year. They don't do that any more. They come out with new body styles or new car information all year long now. Now each Fall they all run big money off sales to try and unload the previous  year model cars before what they call the new cars hit the dealerships.     More crimes might get solved if folks drove cars that looked like Fords, Chevie's and Chrysler's of the 50's and 60's. You could at least tell one car brand from another   Ok done with my soap box.....................Someone else's turn.....................JMHO         

The Government buys votes with EBT cards..........................JMHO

When food stamps were still in paper form and not on EBT card they had much tougher rules as to what you could purchase on them. You could not purchase any prepared food, no alcohol, tobacco, laundry soap, dish soap, bar soap, Toilet paper or paper towels. It had to be just strictly food products that you took home and prepared. But do you folks honestly think that is how it worked? People were out there buying food stamps from FS recipients for a 1/4 on the dollar with cash. That went on more and more so they decided they could fix that by putting your funds on  the EBT cards but that didn't help anything because people would go shopping for the money people and buy everything on a list given to them and when they delivered the groceries they would receive 1/4 of the amount of the receipt in cash. I know this to be fact because I had a dead beat step son and his wife  that were sellers and I knew the buyers. Anonymous phone call got all that stopped and everyone did some jail time. I think my step son blamed me for it but he never called me out on it. But we have not spoke since his mother passed away either back in 1997. I do know that it was stupid to make it possible to buy just about anything except Alcohol and tobacco on the cards. I think you can even use them in places like McDonald's but don't know that for sure because I don't got to those places very often. Can't afford them. Once a month I splurge and have KFC and live like a king for a day........ :up: ........................jmho      

  In all honesty if we went back to the days when most people had to physically work to make a living you would see a lot of people dropping over from heart attacks because a hard days work would kill many people because of their physical conditions. I made my living for many years with hands on hard work and I loved it. I looked forward to waking up and going to work. It almost killed me when I learned from my doctors I could not do it any more. Not being able to perform my job was a lot harder on me both mentally and physically than it was working...........jmho

Check your spam  messages to see if it came as a spam email.............jmho

i have always figured that those shotguns are designed as Self defense/ Home defense weapon so the gas chamber would be designed more for those particular rounds and not for low powered hunting loads.......jmho

I was thinking about why California was always so dumb when it came to decision making and I figured it out several years back..That is  where all the pot head LSD acid freaks from the 60's wound up when the peace movement ended and they were stuck there and now were are living with a bunch of old Drug fry brains out there Running things. Heck everyone out there has been in rehab several times, needs to be in rehab now or died before they made it to Rehab from Drug Overdoses.................jmho

Maybe we all need to become Gang members...................... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:   In all honesty, I don't pay much attention to what they do in that state. I figure before long they will have a quake and fall off in the ocean and we will have 49 states again................jmho

Well, I want them to begin their plans in to try confiscation of gun in their fine state of Sand and Surf first and let them start in L.A. county or San Bernadino  County and if they have any police officers left after they try to disarm those two counties I will be greatly surprised. I said years ago that is they go into L.A. to get the guns from the Latino gangs they will learn right there many many lessons about what military goes through when they are sent in to an urban warfare situation. Believe me they don't have enough police officers on the entire LA police for to clear 1 block in the Latino neighborhoods.They have areas in cities like L.A. , Chicago. Phili, NY, Miami, and many many more that police officers refuse to patrol in and then they talk about disarming someone?? I love the way elected officials don't think before signing a law of this type. "You just can't fix Stupid!!"

Thanks guys. I might look into it. Can't remember the last time I read anything that didn't come on a computer or a medicine bottle and have to use a magnify glass with many medicine bottles. I had to make the NRA quit sending me magazines like Rifleman because I had piles of them and never read them. I like to have never convinced them I didn't want something free. I would have gave them away but everyone I know is an NRA member and get them too.............. :rofl:  :rofl: 

Yea, that is how the audio version began. He said he was not yet a classified sniper but the CO left him in charge of the rifle while he was taking a break. He was ordered to fire and hesitated at first but was ordered to SHOOT and he fired at the same instant she dropped the grenade. I'm not sure exactly how it read but he either shot her or the grenade but either way she was dead. I think he shot both.     http://www.amazon.com/American-Sniper-CD-Autobiography-Military/dp/0062209493#reader_B005GFPZYK

Dang sure would not want her popping caps at me for sure..................... :up: :up:

  Thanks Omega but I don't read enough to invest in any of this new fancy stuff out for sale these days. I don't have an Iphone or droid. I use a small flip phone to make and receive calls and can text on it if I choose to which is very seldom. Yea, I am kinda old fashion, let me re phrase that. I am really old fashion but I guess most of that comes with being old also. I bought the video Lone Survivor and watched it and then passed it through the family and have no clue who as it now....... :rofl: .   I will buy American Sniper and after watching it I will send it through the family so everyone gets to see it. I might by the audio version of the American Sniper and I might not. I hate it when one ruins the other. I read a lead into the the audio version of the book and it begins with Chris talking about a woman and a young boy coming out of a door as Marines are advancing into that area and he sees a hand grenade  and he is ordered to shoot her and that was as far as the into went so maybe it was not in the hard book version but it was in the audio version.. Don't know how I will do it yet, just wing it I guess...........jmho

Last time our country had a President Assassinated was when JFK (a Democrat) was in office and we got LBJ which was a very sorry excuse for a President. With Kennedy we knew what we had and with LBJ the War Machines got what they wanted. With Obama, we know kind of what we have which has a book of flaws to long to mention but if anything did happen look what would fill his shoes . Shotgun Double barrel Joe Biden. That would be about like getting another LBJ but maybe even a little worse. Believe me when I say I am not a fan of either of the two of them but I do and always will respect the office they hold as long as I live..............jmho

i was gonna shave my head and a buddy of mine did his and said he won't do it again. He fishes like I do or did and said he cannot keep a ball cap on his head when running fast in bass boat. Had to stop and go back several times and pick up his hat so not going to shave mine.............jmho

I quite reading books many years ago and they going to the movie expecting to see anything even remotely close to the book. Now as I have gotten so old that my eyes are an issue and they don't print books In this size type  I just go see the movie or maybe not even both till in comes out on video and buy it.   One thing I will tell you about Eastwood's directing. He holds nothing back in a movie so if that piece of video was not in the book it was probably omitted from the book before publishing and Eastwood thought it should have not been and put it in. WOW sometimes being old ain't so bad. i just went and looked at the book and found out they make them in audio so might get to do both anyway...................... :up: :up:
