Where do I sign up?

Welcome! Free cars are the best cars. (Maybe not the cheapest in the end, but the best.)

These are the same frequencies. FRS and GMRS rules differ by allowed power output and type-accepted radio hardware, but the actual radio frequencies used are identical.

I am in the market for a Corvette, and I will not be doing this to it.

That's the old joke. How do you render an Italian person mute? Tie their hands behind their back. (As with all the best jokes, this one is heavily based in reality.)

On a semi-related note, it looks like I did pretty good in December when I bought myself a new gaming** laptop computer (Acer model AN515-45-R92M). It has a Ryzen 7 5800 8-core processor, GeForce RTX 3060 GPU with 6GB, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and so on. It was actually discounted at the time to...

Your jib, sir--I like the cut of it.

Back in my early 20s, I was fluent in American Sign Language and Italian. Both of those have slipped somewhat due to little usage in recent years, though. What was really wild (to me, anyway) was when I would dream in ASL or Italian.

Perhaps Faith and I will join you.

Never heard of it... which, considering there were only 10 episodes made, is understandable. She was only 22 at the time, so... yeah. Wish I has seen the show.

(pshaw) My very first full-time job (back in Ohio) was at Midwest Micro, a large (and now out of business) computer builder/seller. When I started there, Intel had just released their fast, flashy new i486 processor... but it was expensive. As a result, most of the machines I built were...

I read through it for confirmation, and was pleasantly surprised to see a new addition: "Vintage Vehicles no longer require a front license plate to be affixed to the vehicle." I don't recall that being part of anybody's negotiation, but I'll take it. :cool:

The most recent series prominently featuring a car that comes to my mind is Burn Notice and his black Charger, but even that show ended 9 years ago.

Ya know, a real man would drive his big block there and back again. It can't get any worse fuel economy than the Navigator towing a loaded car hauler.

I usually just blurt out a string of profanities.

Hmm, that sounds workable for sure. It solves my personal problem 100%, and gives options for my co-workers. If this (a) allows us to continue as we want, while (b) also weeding out those who are currently flaunting the law, then I'm all for it.

I expect. In the four years it has been running under big block power, I haven't put 5000 miles on it. Clear 88 at 11 mpg willl do that to you, I guess.

No, it is annual. For the Grand Prix and Shelby combined (both cars were initially covered for $20,000 stated, but that value automatically increases by ~5% or so each year to account for inflation) my annual bill is $501.09. This includes $300k for uninsured motorist, $300k for underinsured...

On reflection, posting a photo will work better than a pdf. I have the Grand Prix (Vintage Vehicle) and my Shelby (std registration) insured with American Collectors Insurance. My primary reason for choosing them was the ability to have stated value policies for both cars. Here is the top of...
