I typically only post photos when I'm behind the camera, but this is too awesome not to share. My sister and I met Norman Reedus today. He was a pretty cool guy

We also met Ian McDiarmid, who was Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars. That was just incredible considering how many times he was in my VCR when I was growing up lol. He was a nice guy too.

Sad day today, I parted with the Mark VIII and the 86 f150

Also have gave the cavalier a bath and getting ready to put it up for sale. I'm trying to get what I paid for it 2 1/2 years ago. I think I can get $1500 for it.

Awesome!

I can understand dark color for the heat but won't the black Interior be just as bad as a dark outside color? Talk about a hot *** sitting on black leather in 105 degrees!

That sucks. Why'd you get rid of the toys?

Selling to do something for dad. I found a ML500 that got his attention and he actually showed some excitement over it which is very rare. I showed it to him last week (pictures) and after some digging with the info i had i thought it was showing some red flags. Ends up I got the story today on it and it may be a good deal after all.

I'm going up there in a few days and if everything checks out I'm buying it and parking it in his driveway and let him find it when he walks out the next morning. He's spent alot of money lately and he told me today it would put him in a little bit of a bind finance wise, but he'd love to have it. So as far as I'm concerned he's going to get it. Never been able to do anything like this for him and figured if I could sell some stuff and make the old man happy it's a win win

That's awesome Coy! I did the same for my Dad with my old F350. I knew he wanted it pretty bad. It felt awesome to do something for him after all the toys he bought for me as a kid.

As a bonus, I got to use it again last week while I was home on Vacay, put 1000miles on it and fixed a few little things he wanted done.
Here it is by my Brothers d-max (700hp and 1200lb-ft) last week

Sorry never heard of them! Looked them up and then understood why not.
