That's how phones worked in the old days....





Sorry, I couldn't help myself....

Nah, the only thing that needs help is me finding that paint. Yes, I saw the vette.



That, on a 1SS, with White hockeys.. Mmmmm. Oh, and throw colormatched rim center caps too. Or the T/A tires/rims. Either works for me XD.

But the fir..would just be a major pain. Not to mention dust. <_< Probably smells worse than Jack Nicklaus' Saberliner. I would know.. I was just in that jet yesterday (N1JX), It also hails from the 70s.

That totally reminds me of this story from when i was a little kid. We had a power outage for a couple days and my mom was going to take me and my sister to the park during the day. So we get in the car and she starts it up and my sister says "oh my the car works!! the power is back on!"

that reminds me of when one of my friends in elementary school came over & when we showed him the phone so he could call home, he couldn't figure out what to do with it. my mom's had that phone almost 30 yrs. it's still in her kitchen
