Thread: Posie New ride for 2007

Tweet

The funny thing is the more I look at the Chevy the more I think he could made just as big a mess and saved money starting with a VW Bug.

Well I am for one glad I didn't see the car at York this weekend. WIth the heat and seeing that thing, I would have definitely gotten sick. His last several cars have been interesting, certainly not good lookers. Weird might be a fitting description. I think that the Extremeliner may have been his last nice one. Enought weirdness, Ken, time to move back from the edge.

Since you brought up the weather, I decided to look at the Weather Underground website - at the York Hospital:
Thursday @ 3:30 = 99.9F
Friday @ 4:30 = 98.4F
Saturday @3:30 = 91.7F

Can you imagine the asphalt temps? and I changed a stuck on aluminum rimmed 265/70x17 tire on my truck Thursday about 2:00 - no wonder I had the shakes and got sick - then seeing Posie's car (which sounds like an idling corn binder)

Dave - was your truck the dark (black or blue) pickup (full size Chevy/GMC or maybe a Ford) sitting in the swap meet area (had NY tags) on Saturday. Saw someone (you?) in the truck about 2:30 PM, but didn't want to be rude and ask. When I came back that way a little later, the person was no longer around the truck. Guess I may have missed my big opportunity to greet a fellow rodder.

A dark green Ford F150 P/U with NY tags in swap meet site Lucky 13 - 'twas me. If it was ~2:30, I think I had the A/C on and was cooling off. Evidently I got some food poisoning Fri night as I was sick as a dog and awake until ~2:00AM. I threw my few leftover treasures in the truck and went to the Toyota building for an hour to cool some more.(I had a pretty good sales day on Friday )

You should have been "rude" as I was only babying myself for a few minutes. I'm really sorry I missed you .

I did meet up with another CHR guy - he had the beautiful '48 Tangerine Caddy convert that won a Pro's Pick award

Dave - Sorry I missed you. Had my wife with me and she occasionally gets indignant when I wonder off to annoy people. Got a picture of the Caddie along with 147 others. Might get them posted someplace here. Will let you know if that happens.

Sorry to hear you got a touch of food poisoning. I know that can be miserable. I didn't have that problem but after we got home Friday evening ( I live about 20 miles south of York) we got a hellacious thunder storm that dropped 6 inches of rain on us. Fortunately for those at the Nats they didn't get it. Hopefully your car will be ready for next year and we can meet up. Just don't forget to bring a top, tonneau, or tarp with you. We had rain at least one day the last 4 years at the Nats. This time it hit on Sunday during the awards.

I have learned what to do with my wife when she goes to a car happening. If it is a one day show, I plunk her down with a book in a cool place and she is happy for hours. A multi day show - we go to the NSRA show in Burlington - if I have a rod, then she is on the bus to town for shopping, or if no car, then she will take the truck. Then to worry about the credit card bill .

I missed most of the rain this year except for a couple of short duration frog stranglers on I-83 going back to the hotel in Mechanicsburg. One of the local TV stations was on and it appeared that the storms went around my area. I am all to well aware of the yearly downpours at York - been to all but 2 shows since 1986. The new car has a very high quality material for a top and am taking all precautions to seal the body real well.

There are about 100 acceptable pictures on a CF card in my camera that need to be tweaked a bit then posted, probably Photobucket or SONY for others to look at.

Hope we can get together next year and put faces to names - but until then there is always CHR
