  1. So, this very car sold for $484k in 2015 at a Gooding & Co auction (Pebble Beach). https://www.glenmarch.com/auction-cars/show-backup-image/18517/results
  2. It's certainly not a daily driver, but this car was meant to be driven, so I hope the future owner will not just garage it. One like this (minus Ella as previous owner) sold at a Mecum auction in 2018 for $245k. It looks like Grundfor has this on consignment, so it will likely be headed to auction. I've seen some crazy shit with cars because of owner history. I wonder if the fact Ella owned the car for 37 years, coupled with low original miles will make all the difference.
  3. This will be a night filled with adventure! Pre-dinner....Matrinis made with Crystal Head Vodka For dinner... After dinner.... Molinari Sambuca on the rocks.
  4. He definitely added an extra layer of fun to this movie. RIP
  5. Freezing rain in Yukon Oklahoma this morning. The picture was taken by one of my guys. He left NY on Sunday and got caught up in this mess yesterday. Thought he was going to make Amarillo today but I had to tell him to stay put.
  6. Yeah, I read her father's estate was worth around $25 mil. The building is said to be worth $40 mil and appears to be owned free and clear, but I'm sure the property are in excess of $1mil a year. In April, the Strand was approved for a PPP loan of $1–2 million to retain 212 jobs. Given that those jobs were not actually protected, workers in the store want to know where the money went. According to Bobrowski, Bass Wyden said in a meeting with union stewards in August that she was spending her own money to keep the business afloat. But since early April, federal records show, she’s also bought between $3 million and almost $7.9 million in stock—Senate financial filings, which include spouses’ records, show a range of values, not specific amounts—investing heavily in tech (between $112,007 and $300,000 in Alphabet/Google, between $175,007 and $450,000 in Apple, and between $110,005 and $300,000 in Facebook), fossil fuels (between $15,001 and $50,000 in Exxon Mobil and between $2,002 and $30,000 in Royal Dutch Shell), and medical supplies (between $50,001 and $100,000 in 3M).
  7. Hmm..., I never looked at it that way, but I'm pretty sure she was talking about placement of quotation marks and that is a free for all.
  8. See there, I used to do it with the period after and it never looked correct to me. You should know, my daughter once pointed that out in a text message and I told her she was full of it. We have not spoken since.
  9. Here is a word of the day specifically for you. Condescending I'll use it in a sentence. "That guy is a real condescending asshole". Is that proper? Do I need to add an exclamation point?
  10. You're off the deep end if you think I was implying it was the other way.
  11. Ah, very clever. There is maybe a few people that don't align politically with the majority of active members and yet you guys still can't help yourselves with the sprinkling of politics.
  12. Yeah, I have to admit, I'm not sure the cast could have been any better. McConaughey, Hunnam, Farrell, Golding and Grant, all excellent.
  13. I watched this once before several weeks ago and then again this weekend. It's a good one.
  14. I hope SiriusXM goes at least another week with VH on Deep Tracks or moves the tribute to another channel.
  15. I was really hoping to see an Atlanta v. Tampa series. I can't support the Dodgers, so, go rays!
  16. I've been enjoying the Sirius XM tribute channel. In particular I have enjoyed the guest DJ spots and hearing things like isolated EVH guitar tracks. I also caught some of Ian Christie's tribute show last night on Liquid Metal and he played a few tasty covers.
  17. On Through the Night was a solid beginning. The style started to change with Pyromania and they really softened up even more after that, so I think after Hysteria I gave up. I still enjoy hearing tracks off of High 'n' Dry which was their best work but I guess I heard enough of Pyromania and Hysteria back in the day that now, I will usually change the station.
  18. When you say an adult should mourn the loss of nothing from their youth, I assume you're speaking of material items or connections to the past you remember fondly but did not know personally such as a musician, actor or....? The passing of Eddie Van Halen hit me particularly hard, just like when Neil Peart died. Rush will never play again as a band, and now VH is also finished. Sure, that's the cycle of life and I can still hear those recordings, watch videos etc., but those guys are now no longer with us. So yeah, it bums me out. My listening to rock, hard rock and metal has continued through the years, on to the new and the shit got faster, deeper and harder and I love it, but I've also always kept the the old stuff close. So, I can easily say I found a replacement years ago but that does not change my appreciation for and the fact that hearing EVH on a record from 1980 still thrills me. Did he or they ever get deeper beyond the "poprockrockpop"? Of course, go through and listen, all kinds of changes, Eddie continued to grow, especially when Hagar joined. I also don't believe it is accurate to label VH "poprock" like they were Bon Jovi, Springsteen or mid 80s to current Def Leppard. Van Halen was just Van Halen and sometimes they put something out like "Jump" and it got play on all types of stations, but they were simply a straight ahead rock band that happened to be popular. I understand the term "artist" is used loosely this days, but like it or not, yes, even Reddy was, probably more so than a lot of the current half ass pop "artists". EVH though? Fuck yeah, and fuck yeah big time, to a degree off the chart, not even questionable and not just because of what he could do to, with and on a guitar, which was ground breaking, but dude also composed, developed, influenced and shaped all kinds of sounds and gear for future players and fans to enjoy. On youtube there are hundreds of people that makes videos reviewing music or their reactions to hearing something for the first time. I've never paid much attention to them but in recent days I have watched several, and those reactions speak to what Eddie brought to the table artistically. That's my take on it.
  19. That's my take. Like Ghost, I think his earlier successes were residual from previous management. I'm not saying he has not done a lot of good, but Cashman had no problem pinning shit on Girardi but yet he continues on as if he doesn't get involved with the day to day on the field.
  20. Crosby is a social media whore, so the " I forgot he died" excuse is pretty lame. I mean sure, Mobley might have said who built what where? Crosby though knew exactly who EVH was and he definitely heard that he passed, otherwise how could he have forgot about it? He was just being a pompous dick.
