I hate to say it, Paul, but you need to invest in some concrete, as you're running out!

No kidding.

I'm looking into putting up a building to clear out some space. The only problem is that I have no space here and my other larger property is 30 minutes away. I don't want my cars that far away from me. I'm afraid that I'll never drive them. Kind of like I do right now.

It's tough to drive 9 cars when you never go anywhere.

I've had people ask me why I have so many cars? Easy answer. Because I like them and I have a very forgiving wife.

I dated a gal named Portia. I was the one handling the curves

Killer Bee · 09-15-2021, 10:11 PM

I agree with Mrs. Fleetside

Nothing wrong with that!

I once dated a girl named Piranha. No kidding. That was her real name and she lived up to it. That was fun. I still have the scars.

**Steeveedee** · 09-16-2021, 05:42 PM

I knew a gal named Mercedes. She had great upholstery and had a really smooth ride.

Indeed. I loved all those SS396 cars, and then the SS454 cars later, when I worked at the dealership(s). My wife had a '69 Nova when I met her. Sad to say, I sold it back in the early '90s. 250 CI six with a PG. I put AC and power disc brakes on it. Shoulda coulda woulda. Got $1k for it, with 201k miles on it.

**68bowtie** · 09-16-2021, 11:31 PM

Speaking of 396 cars…

My factory 68 396 shortbed is currently sitting in a shop next to a VERY original factory 68 SS 396 el camino. They are becoming good friends.

It is, pink eyes and all.

We commonly see "gray" squirrels in black as well as gray, but this is the first albino I've seen. This was taken at our cabin on a lake in northern Wisconsin. We have lots of small reds (also commonly called pine squirrels depending where you live).

We also have lots of eagles that sit in a couple 100 year plus pines at the lakeshore. I was walking to the lakeshore a few years ago when one dove from a pine attempting to snag one of several goslings swimming with mom and dad. You should have seen the geese successfully defend their brood!

I've also seen a couple albino deer. However, the coolest rare coloration critter I've seen is a piebald deer. Absolutely gorgeous!

**Steeveedee** · 09-17-2021, 05:38 PM

You do not want to mess around with geese, that's for sure! Growing up, I had a friend with a pet goose. NOBODY went in their back yard without a family member present.

Never seen a white one before black grey a reds here . Guess the albino would be easy pickins for the Hawks and eagles so they dont last long

**Stocker** · 09-17-2021, 03:17 PM

That's a new one on me. I wonder how rare they are? Only ones I have seen around here are gray. There were red squirrels in the midwest but I believe they were larger than our grays.

Killer Bee · 09-17-2021, 04:05 PM

cool white! seen fair number of blacks in the Rockies but don't recall ever seeing a white..

fox and grays fat on walnuts and hickories were stock item in our freezer back home..

my mom was seeing a white skunk around the farm a while past spring but I didn't see it when we were there

**special-K** · 09-18-2021, 07:11 AM

Never seen an albino squirrel, but I have seen an albino ground hog. I guess any mammal can be born as one. Great picture.

I bought this hood in June and it rode in my Suburban until I came up with a place to store it (in Aug). Then there was no one around when I needed to unload it. I easily slid it onto the wheelbarrow, no sure how well it would ride on there, and it turned out to ride perfect. Good balance and all, like it was made for that!

I need to walk the swap meet before setting up the truck at the shows. If I had that hood would be here.

You got a great buy on it
