Thought of the day.

Higgs is relaxing some of the covid-19 rules.Golfing,camping,fishing and atv-ing ok but doesn't look good for car shows.

That is fantastic! I hope we in NS can do the same soon.

Not sure what is planned for PEI, but lots of optimism that some things will loosen up on May 1st. They opened 2 more liquor stores on Monday. Small things are appreciated after being deprived for 5 or 6 weeks. Fingers crossed and we will be hanging out together in Sept on a nice Saturday catching up and giving grief where deserved. Hang in there!

My Wife and I have a Dilemma, we’re not going to choose one Son and his Girlfriend over the other Son and his Girlfriend so I guess the status quo will continue ?

Tell each of them they're the favorite and getting the bigger cut of the inheritance but to keep it a secret.....then watch and see which is the real favorite!

What Inheritance ??

If I plan it right, I hope to have a quarter left when I go LOL

Rain, wind and cold last night.
But glorious sunny day in double digit temps.
Whats your plan?

I have heard that story more then once Fred. Not really easy to do so some are just not choosing and leaving it alone until more things open up. Puts parents in a tough spot for sure.

Well my plan is to finish breakfast and go into the garage for about 3 hours. Car is ready for its cleaning and wax. Not that it is dirty but it is dusty and stuff. I always wax it before I put it away and when I take it out. If all goes good it will be going on a cruise this afternoon. Looking forward to it.

Picking up the vert from storage today. I’m excited about just going out for a drive lol. Then I’m sure it will be the always fun winter to summer turnover in the shed. One hundred things come out and one item goes in....the snowblower

I came up with a solution Charlie, My oldest Son lives with his Girlfriend in Dieppe and her Parents are in Riverview. Our youngest Son in Shediac and his in laws live in Lower Sackville. With the Borders being closed for the foreseeable future, it makes sense to choose the youngest and the oldest gets to spend time with the in-laws (great people, he’s a car guy).

Picked mine up this morning, enjoyed the relaxing drive home ?

 

[Ohtobbad]

I worked this morning, having brunch,
then I am meeting Glenn at Garage where cars are stored he is taking his out and home.
Then I might go for a little spin.

 

[Ohtobbad]

if your out, look for pictures, "photo Contest"

 

[2001BlackGTvert]

Great compromise Fred. Glad you got the car out. Almost done mine. Then going to have lunch and take it for a rip to make sure all the parts i it in are working the way they should be.

 

[2001BlackGTvert]

She is all ready for another season. Wahoo.

 

[Ohtobbad]

Now can't wait for reports on your mods.
and what you think?

Looks Awesome Charlie ?

Looks good Charlie.

I was looking at getting a 3 or 4 year old Mustang with low mileage but with my budget it would be a v6 or ecoboost.The 4.6 has less hp but sounds much better.Don't enjoy convertibles as I once did but the top does go up when needed.I can live with it.

Good choice.
As good as the V6 and ecobbost are and as good as their numbers show on paper, neither one drives like a V8.
300 hp in one configuration does not necessarily provide the same fun factor as 300 hp in another.
For one thing, both the V6 and EB have good low end torque but both fall flat past mid rpm range, whereas the V8 keeps on giving. ?
