My first car was over 20 years old, but I was happy to have transportation and a car I could fit 7 or 8 people in :D

My grandfather gave it to me and then taught me how to take care of a car because it was in pretty perfect condition (he had driven in, but very few miles). I didn't care that I didn't have a new car, I was thrilled to have a car period.

My first car was a minivan. Seated 7 comfortably.

HAHA. A us pilot just called Ground to complain that a catering truck cut him off on the taxiway.

My mother-in-law calls it esoteric. :rolleyes:

I posted this in the PWP thread relating to bear attacks in the woods:

My approach to this issue has been as follows:

1. Don't go running around in the woods where bears are known to frequent.
2. In the event of failure to comply with rule one, carry a large caliber firearm, preferably fully automatic and belt-fed.

I believe I'll have lifetime Plat later this year. I was very, very close and need to see exactly where I'm or I just wait until I get it mailed to me, I guess.

I thought I would have CO MM this year, but no travel for a while has pushed that into next year.

My first vehicle was a 1986 Toyota Pickup, which I recieved in mid 1997. No power steering, no a/c, no radio as the felt had rotted away from the magnet in the speakers. It got me from A to B though.

So I take it that you would show an interest should the LAS large-scale firearm Do ever happen? I really want to go to one of those gun shops that lets you take machine guns into the desert.

Absolutely. I'm up for any firearm related activities, as I believe icurhere2 was discussing something possible in the BNA area.

He was indeed. I know kingalien is a friend to our community as well, and we have all talked about setting something up.

Any IAHers going to the Pam Ann live show? I realized that as we're not going to be in Asia, we can now go. ^

Where were you? I listened to that station between 1 and 2PM this afternoon while driving around Maywood and Hackensack, NJ and heard nothing but Die Meistersinger.

Check out COA1930 on FlightAware -- empty 753 ferrying PHL-EWR.
