Post by: Onlypastrana199 on October 23, 2006, 10:21:34 AM
I went up to Montreal for the weekend to visit some family...its cold..I hate snow...someone let me crash where its warm  :thumb:


Plus side was I got to drive my uncles '39 Pontiac...for like 50 feet..but it was still cool! This a pic I took from our trip up.

Beautiful pic!  What was it like to drive the Pontiac?  Is shifting different from the standard clutches of today?

Yesterday I went for a ride and it was 65 out--beautiful Fall weather here!

If it makes you feel any better it'll be colder here in a month than it ever is there.


...only for 3 days, though, haha...

I'm going to post up some pics I took this weekend when I get them off my phone...
I've been going to the beach every weekend to ride bikes with Hugo. Warm and sunny (supposed to be 90F today!). Beautiful girls in bikini's playing beach volleyball, nice waves, etc...

 you all suck! :flipoff:


The car was awesome...the clutch didnt feel much different but everything else was weird. There was sooooo much torque it was unbelieveable tires just wanted to spin cause it was so cold but when they caught  :o Ignition is a push button, wipers work on engine vaccuum so when u floor it, they slow down and when u slow down they go like hell...its funny...it was alot of fun. I should get pictures of the inside, everything is gold trimmed. He's owned it since he was 15.

Cool!  More photos would be great--it sounds like a blast!

The Dart had pushbutton ignition and pushbutton transmission for awhile.

The second gen. Toyota Prius hybrids have pushbutton ignition too.  It's interesting how concepts continue to cycle throughout the years.

Wow, I didn't realize it takes so long to process your claim.  When I got into a fender-bender, my car was fixed within the week.  Keep us up to date.

It just depends... It's been over two months since a lady about ran me over, I am still waiting on a check from Tard Farm.... er.. a.. I  mean State Farm... one things for sure, insurance companies take their time whenever possible, and try to weasle out of anything they can.
