It was good to see him back, but it was really just a filler video to announce he's back. I expect more meaty vids once he's back in the groove.

 

An amusing promotional film from 1961, in which Chevrolet attempts to demonstrate that its cars are not horrible:

 

In late 70s / early 80s Britain, members of different (and ostensibly rival) extremist hate-groups could all get along with one another.

 

My dad worked on the Milford proving grounds for many years. Boy do i have some stories to tell about that place.

The 60s were out of control. GM was doing some crazy things. Including trying to drive a Corvair through the Panama jungle:

I worked at the Milford Proving Grounds in the late 70's through the early 80's. Those were the best years of my career - I worked in the Noise and Vibration Lab as a fledgling Project Manager and making occasional trips onto the Circle Track while on the way to the Noise Pass-By Site was not unheard of (100 MPH in a Chevy Stepside Pickup on the high bank is fun, right?).

Ah...it brings back memories.

 

Trying to increase our misery, as always.

After that they were only allowing one person at a time on the high bank.

Related image i took the other day. lol

 

 

 

 

 

Certified kosher no less.

 

Evidence of hiring difficulties are everywhere

 

This guy is riding the train like a boss.

 

Obviously not NY, no sober person there would leave his vodka so close to the door.

Also, intrigued by a cat on a leash.

 

Actually somewhat common in the city. I saw it more in Manhattan, especially on the upper-east side, but yeah, it's a thing. Cityfolk take their cats to parks on a leash.

 

 

 

 

I loved the 2nd Gen Eclipse GSX, of course I was in high school at the time so I couldn't afford one.
