    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Diesel engines can be very reliable, in Ireland most if not all the cars run on diesel engine, they get incredible mileage. But there are disadvantages of course, and our GMs, as you said, never took well to them. This cadillac in question sounded like a tractor when turned on, and had smog...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    One down the block from me was just sold, a 1983 fleetwood brougham.. I took it for a spin.. it had a pristine body but it was a diesel engine and the guy wanted 3 grand for it. I don't mind paying 3 grand for a car in tip top shape, but this thing undoubtedly would have needed work and lots of...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    I know it may seem a Sacrilege to post this along with all these pristine, golden age cars, but my (first) bought car is this 1988 Lincoln Towncar. I really liked the big land yachts from the 70s and 80s, the ones that were very shoebox shaped, and was committed to getting either a cadillac or...

    are we becoming too self-centered?

    I have seen this article on other sources and have to agree 100%. there's that old saying that a happy people are a stupid people, or "ignorance is bliss". It takes wisdom and intelligence to be able to truly assess ones worth, and most people today do not have time to do that, and are...

    Graffiti on a church.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. And yes benny, Muslims don't take this stuff lying down, neither should christians.

    Graffiti on a church.

    That ideal has been the case for years- look at how many bootleggers and organized crime figures were fawned over by women, then look at the outlaw biker archetype, the greasers, rock and roll type, etc.. on average young girls do not want to be whisked away by the mild mannered town librarian...

    Graffiti on a church.

    The fact is in today's society nothing is sacred, and its a shame but its not likely to change for the better in the near future, every generation is more apathetic and nihilistic than the last.. to the point where having some ideals or faith makes one the target of jokes or worse. As for...

    What are you wearing today??

    With the fur collar overcoat and the facial hair you've got the Italo Balbo thing going on, at least thats the first thing that came to my mind. today alas i am going boxing so i won't have anything vintage on.. how vintage is a track suit ?

    The Gangster (Hat) Squad.

    I enjoyed the film- i saw it get bashed alot by critics, but i thought sean penn was just hammy enough to make it work. Lawless was a better film overall, but this was entertaining- the over the top violence, the absurd plotpoints, i can't complain. I actually have to disagree with Hutch on that...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    It was tokenism of course, but i just saw the film and enjoyed it anyway. I think there was a wink and nod about the tokenism regarding the mexican cop at least, where during the film several times someone would say "where did he come from, whats he doing here etc?" Some studio producer...

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    Too many to count! Cell phones, Televisions, Ianythings, "dress casual/business casual". Most media technology is a double edged sword- it allows us to recieve information in seconds if we want it, but totally destroys the idea of patience and understanding, we have no reason to read a book on...

    Vest etiquette

    Well the thing is, getting buttons sewn on your pants takes time, getting proper length pants and such take time, and to really getthe vintage stuff takes time and patience that very few have. Most men aren't going to scrutinize too much, they may want something stylish but they aren't going to...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    I was going to mention dutch schultz too, they could introduce him the way they did ben siegel and hymie weiss, starting as throw away side characters to be used if the series is renewed a few more times.

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    Oh i know i'm nitpicking, can't help it.. its not going to stop me from watching the show, i just hope it really puts some of those "real life" stories into full gear, like the o'banion/capone one, and perhaps give us a taste of whats really going on in NY. I was really surprised this season...

    Fishermen's sweaters site

    Are you referring to the futurism of Filippo Marinetti? If so i'm a big fan as well, as far as the more modern art movements go, futurism had a zest and the sand to just go all out in an explosive fashion. Eckharti, i've found the the best places are either online (ebay) or irish tourist...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    I liked some parts of season three, but i did find rossetti to be a bit much at times, as i said, he behaved in a way that would have gotten a real gangster killed very quickly. He was, but we all knew it was happening, while last season's finale with Darmody had far more impact since it...

    I have three aran sweaters at home, they are itchy if worn without a button up/long sleeve shirt underneath but they are the warmest thing one can imagine. They do have a rustic look but still are far nicer than any of the clothing trends popular now. i'll post pictures of what i do have when im...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    Oh yeah and i almost forgot, we never found out if Agent Ziwicky (sp?) survived the trip to Masseria? I think i'm the only person who actually cares about his fate both in the show and in real life.. oh well. Maybe he went out and bought a personality.

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    I see this thread is really long already, i've watched this show since it started and i'm a big fan now, especially the subplot with Van Alden and O'Banion (i hope he gets more screen time next season). I did find last season to be the weakest so far, i know some wild things happened back in the...
