My rear fenders for the 59 Baja showed up. I had to pick them up at the Post Office. I joked with the guy about not putting them in the mailbox and he said if I wanted that he could get em in there.

Too true. I know a guy who bought a really nice expensive fly-fishing rod. It came in a triangular box, prominently labeled "Do Not Fold". It was folded in half and stuffed into his mailbox.

This guy is cool unlike the other guy that works there that has a massive chip on his shoulder. When I was all jacked up and had to use a walker to get around he put a big box on the counter and stared at me like I was supposed to carry it. I'm not sure how I was supposed to do that when I needed both hands just to stand up. An old lady saw this and helped me out. She was a tough old gal and cussed him but he didn't care. I reported him but he's still there with the same attitude and I'm sure that he hates me for ratting him out but I can live with that.

I am not allowed by my wife to go to the post office any longer. I hope there are no employees of the USPO on here, and I won't put em all in the same box, but these people take the cake. I worked for the taxpayers my entire career, never treated the people who paid my salary like there people do.

Same Corolla- I bought a Jet 10-20 drum sander. It wouldn't fit in the trunk or in the back seat. It rode shotgun 50 miles home, with me pushing it off myself at every right turn.

Killer Bee · 02-09-2024, 04:49 PM

sounds like some of you should consider buying a truck

**Steeveedee** · 02-09-2024, 06:58 PM

Mine was one of those deals- the first time, I used that as my commuter and didn't have a truck. The second time I didn't want to make a 36 mile round trip for the pipe. I use the truck for that stuff, now.

**Boog** · 02-09-2024, 07:21 PM

Some people will do the dangdest things. I tell you what.
Years ago at the lumber yard we had a customer come in and bought 6 sq of shingles and a few little things. He was in a car and I guess the trunk was too full of stuff so he instructed the load puller to stack them on top of the trunk lid. I kid you not! The guy left there with packs of shingles on top of the trunk lid and said it'd be alright, he wasn't going far. Not even a strap on it. I just shook my head in disbelief..
And there was the guy who bought 2 lifts of 5/8" sheetrock and it was loaded on his flatbed trailer. He said no straps necessary, wasn't going far. All of it slid off onto the pavement in the middle of the 4 lane intersection not 30 yards from our store, at noon on a Saturday. And that guy was a teacher at the local college at the time.

I'm guilty but we stopped loading before letting it hang out the windows.

Very nice

**HO455** · 02-10-2024, 02:00 PM

Looks like it was new when the car was new.. Most excellent.

Changing up with some random photos from my friends tire shop I took while getting some new rubber. They're into vintage rallying. Very tempting. He just swapped the original V6 out of the Capri for the 302.

More information on the Alcan and the wining 73 Capri. Scroll to the bottom and check out the 46 photos from the rally.

They didn't want their light covers back, too?

Looking better all the time.

I've been guilty of using my suv as a truck a time or 2.

Me too. Like every day for work. Then again, it is a 3/4 ton truck, after all

. It's more truck than most pickups out there. At least it's used more as a truck than most. Crew cab short bed totally enclosed and secure that converts to a long bed

Bad photo but I put a coat or more like 52 coats of polyurethane on the old patio bench today since it was warmer weather.
