    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I have a theory that this is what caused all those cases of unsightly, gnarled, yellow toenails. :eeek:

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Try The Twilight Zone. Not exactly scary usually, but extremely thought provoking and full of irony.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Yeah, I watched the first episode, and it was the music that really threw me. It just doesn't fit in with the 1919-1920 setting that they are trying to convey. If it weren't for that, I might get caught up in the soap opera, but to me now it just comes off as another soap opera set in another...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Same here. Maybe Carol will stir things up a bit like she did at Terminus? Maybe even convince some of the folks holed up there to bust out and join forces.

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    Here it has been autumn for the last month or so. Temps generally in the 60s and 70s during the day, and down to the 50s and 40s at night. Low humidity. What weather should be ideally. :D Next month it will go below zero, and there will be several feet of snow. An ideal winter.

    Remember the "flying car" we were told would be part of our future?

    The driver in the video takes off from an airport, so it is considered to be an aircraft for the most part. But upon landing the wings fold back out of the way and off you go down the freeway. Maybe this should be described as a "automotive aircraft" then? Flown like a plane in accordance to...

    THE RETURN OF THE tUCKER????

    If I had the facilities and a few engineers in my employ I'd build one too. :)

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The House on Haunted Hill. A Vincent Price classic. My scary movie for this Halloween. :eeek:

    Remember the "flying car" we were told would be part of our future?

    This flying car, although it has wings, is the closest thing we've got to the scifi concept of a "flying car" that I've seen so far. The fact that the driver doesn't have to stop and get out to attach wings is a real breakthrough.:D Something that's more like a VTOL or a helicopter might be in...

    THE RETURN OF THE tUCKER????

    Saw this earlier today and thought it would be quite cool to see maybe a modernized version of this. Maybe a hybrid. But the interior space will definitely have to be re-visualized. The single seat in front with two rear jump seats will never fly. Makes it more like a military vehicle than a...

    Django Unchained. Quentin Tarantino rides again. :eusa_clap

    Remember the "flying car" we were told would be part of our future?

    The Aerocar was futuristic for it's time, but the Transformer aspect of this newest version is the apex of futuristic convenience. :) Just imagine,...driving down the mundane highway, approaching a horrible traffic jam, and then freeing one's self from the surly bonds of earth with the touch of...

    Remember the "flying car" we were told would be part of our future?

    Well, here ya go! It's finally a reality. https://www.yahoo.com/travel/great-scott-flying-cars-are-about-to-be-a-reality-101263114302.html Not exactly like the cars The Jetsons had, but I'll take it. :eusa_clap

    What seperates "golden era" from "midcentury"?

    wow! We sound like our dads! :rofl:

    What seperates "golden era" from "midcentury"?

    Yes. This is why I despise those fancy coffee stands with their "baristas" or whatever the hell they call them. Just give me a cup of coffee fer cryin' out loud! :eusa_doh:

    If money was no issue, what themed Halloween party would you throw?

    A world war 2 theme maybe. Axis and allies partying together? I certainly would not go as Hitler though, but I might be persuaded to do my impression after a few drinks. :p

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    Reminds me that I surely wouldn't miss corporate control freaks if they all suddenly disappeared. I think the corporate headquarters of the company I currently work for has an entire building full of office "workers" who must continually appear to be actually doing something. They make up new...

    What could be more fun than a vintage P-51??

    Right. Current prices reflect inflation. ;)

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    Keep the A10 in service! :eusa_clap My favorite, if I was going to fly it would be the German FW 190. Said to be very stable, easy to fly, and LAND. Landing being the most important part of flying.

    I'm winning the lotto soon, so I'll start my own collection too. I'll let you drive my tank James. :D
