Did I say 77 ‘Vette?

May 1st, 2009

image651437089.jpgShould have said ’75. For reasons unique to California’s highly legislated world view, cars made after 1975 must have their original emissions hardware. There are a lot of reasons why that is stupid, but ignoring the idiocy for a moment, my ’77 isn’t equipped with the proper hardware.

Blah!

So I am now getting a ’75 Vette!

This particular car is silver with an ox blood red interior. Very ’70s. The last owner spent 10 years and $20k restoring it, but when it arrived the interior was a wreck. So now my car is sitting in a shop being put back together. Ack.

I still hope to one day actually be able to drive a corvette I’ve paid for, but I has been 3 weeks since the latest one arrives and it still isn’t in my drive way.

Are you popular?

Stumbled across a video on YouTube that was the movie I watched up late one night on USA’s Night Flight that ultimately led me to make Popularity.

Updated BEM with new toys

February 16th, 2009

One of my other web sites is a toy web site dedicated to paying tribute to the toys I loved as a kid. Just added some neat stuff I found at a show including some Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica and Zeroid toys. But the über cool toy is a Batman Executive Desk set.
