Camino LS6

The damn geese sit in the lane by the pond and crap all over the blacktop. They are not my favorite critters. Although it is fun to sneak up close in the Maserati and hit the air horn. :AH-HA_wink:

Actually, you can't re-new your registration without valid insurance. You have to provide the name of the insurance co., the policy number, the effective date, the expiration date, and the mileage on the vehicle. So yes, it is enforced.

First of all, I never said that wearing a helmet was an illusion of safety (I would call it a small measure of safety as riding a motorcycle is inherently hazardous). I also never mentioned parenting at all. Secondly, constitutional rights are something that we already have ( though they are threatened daily). To equate my general statement about the degree of those rights to a constitutional right not to wear a helmet as a matter of written law is a bit over the top. As for the moentary value lost by exercising such freedoms, it would be cheap at twice the price. Freedom is also more important then money. It is not an issue of inconvenience, it is an issue of principle. I'm an individualist, not a socialist, so I don't give a rat's ass about the greater good if it pinches individual freedom. Most especially when an attempt is being made through regulation to protect me from myself. That kind of law will always piss me off even if it doesn't apply to my daily life. I'll make those decisions for myself, thank you.

Life causes death, make your own choices and take your own risks. I resent being forced to do anything "for my own good". The addiction to safety or the illusion of safety at all costs in this society disgusts me. I believe we have a constitutional right to screw up our lives and/or bodies in whatever way we choose. It is the choice that matters.

C'mon now reg, do you really want me to smash ny head on the blacktop? Truth is I don't ride, use a seatbelt (most of the time) and would likely wear a helmet if I did ride. None of that changes the fact that I should be free not to if I so choose. Freedom is far more important than safety.

Auto/motorcycle insurance is mandated by law in PA and has to cover personal injury at at least a minimum level.

The helmet law was repealed in PA just recently, and I say good. I can't stand laws that try to protect me from myself. It's called freedom, we seem to forget what that means a bit more each year.

Thanks YJ, you found some good ones!

I'm not local to H-burg, so I don't know. But there was a ton of damage there as well as here in the Philadelphia area. I think I remember hearing that Hazel killed a bunch of folks in the Poconos. I think it was the storm that sent a passenger train down a mountainside and into a river. Before my time but I remember hearing the story - pretty gruesome.

No, the "Mothertruck" is still at the shop.

Not fair, Mouse, not fair at all.

Wow! Cool in so many ways. That shop is local and the driver is from a long -time local family here in my home town. Love it! And Lime Rock is such a cool track.

I can see it now: The C&G Motorsports LeMans

Thanks guys. I built a temporary spray booth once before but it's been a long time. This is just an idea at the moment, but I'm tired of waiting on bodyshops.

Sure. I already have one huge mutha of an air compressor, but I have no idea what the standard stuff to have these days is. All I can remember is that a Binks#7 was considered to be the best gun way back when.

If I were to buy the equiptment I need to do my own paint jobs, could you advise me on what to get?

Hmm,

Thanks for the leads guys. Wow Caddy, those 2wd versions are mega rare and you found 2 of them! They won't work for me but they sure are cool.

Floyd did alot of damage around here - some localities were total write-offs due to flooding.

Congrats, man. I'm glad things worked out for you the way you wanted. I'll know who it is if some huge white beast comes gliding down the lane someday.( Just ace a few geese on the way would you?)

Hurricanes can, and have been, deadly in PA. Especially here in the eastern half of the state. They can draw on Atlantic moisture or come up through the Chesapeake Bay. Don't forget that hurricanes can be huge storms hundreds of miles wide.

Oh yes we do, BV. For instance, in 1972 Hurricane Agnes flooded the governor's mansion to the 2nd floor.
