This wasn't on the drawings!

During the Alberto wind the front of this building that was being rehabilitated feel in. This is in the old town section and was a block that they had started working on. The building to the right in the next block is a high end restaurant that had just opened. The impact of the front falling busted the window across the street in it. There was a Suburban SUV under that brick that belonged to the contractor doing the work. It was a pancake. No one was hurt. This section of town was built during the 1870's




I saw this cool looking Mustang while I was taking the pictures

I have a chip ordered and have done some mods already. The thing is already scary when you kick it. Don't know if I want to sink 5K's into a supercharger. Already had to make a speeding ticket go away.

It is like a target on your back when you are seen with those things with the cops and every punk kid in the world in a pick up and a NASCAR sticker on it wants to watch you smoke them.

...just don't try to brake-hard or turn at high-speeds.


$hit tends to happen with those domestics, et al.

Did they have the windows out an the back or side of the building for reconstruction? That and somebody removing some top stays would explain the pressure tearing it down.

I wouldn't say nobody got hurt... That tree looks pretty shaken up. Even blew the roof off'n that there Mustang!

Nice ride, by the way. They are so cool, compared to the last 35 years.

You don't suppose they'll try to revive the '75 in another 10 years or so, do you...Yuuckk!!

Thats not a Mustang grunt, its a rebadged Pinto.

If anybody cares, I owned a mustang II for a couple hours once.

It once belonged to some friend of the mother of the girl I was dating at the time. She moved somewhere and left the car. 6 or 8 years went by, and she never came back to get it.

Her mom put the key in my pocket one day and said "you're a car guy.. have a car."

"It needs to be gone sometime tomorrow"

I called up another guy I know who messed with fords and gave it to him. He was willing to come out that night with a trailer, 'cause he wanted the 302 out of it for something else.

That was the only Ford I've ever owned. I don't have anything against them, I was just never that excited about them.

The real question that needs an answer:

Not bad.

What I mostly remember is that she always looked like she was shoplifting cantalopes.
