My goal;



The goal is to get an all in finished car for a weekend driver/show car. My joints are getting too bad to be wrenching these things any more and I'm not ready for a C6 or C7 yet, still want to be old school.

I hear ya. If this Mach 1 has taught me nothing else, it has been a reality jolt about my physical abilities. What was easy 10 years ago now hurts like hell the next day. This car will be the last one I restore. If I buy another classic, it will be finished.

You needed to blow it up? I'd be dead before I need help telling what's on a woman's thigh.

There is absolutely nothing that the post office can do that the private sector can't do better or cheaper. Time to privatize it and send it out for bid.....get rid of this obsolete money sinkhole.

I rarely get anything from snail mail besides packages, and those are usually mid week. My mother would miss it but she's 85 and never went digital.

A Canadian woman advertised a yard sale on Craigslist to sell her 'cheating' husband's things while
he was away with his 'floozie'... WGN Radio is this justified OR just wrong?

At the end of the tax year, the IRS office sent an inspector
to audit the books of a local hospital.

While the IRS agent was checking the books, he turned to
the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a lot of
bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when
there's too little left to be of any use?"

"Good question," noted the CFO. "We save them up and
send them back to the bandage company, and every once in
a while, they send us a free roll."

"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his
unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went,
in his obnoxious way. "What about all these plaster purchases?
What do you do with what's left over after setting a cast
on a patient?"

"Ah, yes," replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was
trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We save
it and send it back to the manufacturer, and every so often
they will send us a free bag of plaster."

"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could
fluster the know-it-all CFO.
"Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the remains from
the circumcision surgeries?"

"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the CFO. "What we
do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS office,
and about once a year they send us a complete prick."
