Baloney, the future does not include gasoline powered cars. GM is going all electric as is Volvo and other car makers.

Yes, it was meant to be baloney, Lanny.
 


What it means to adjust a F1 car seat to a driver.
 
This pic just showed up on my FB feed. I took it years ago while living in Milwaukie. Probably converted to b/w to capture the nostalgic look. Who knows. Anyhoo, I LOVED that little place! While known for their hot dog items, their burgers rocked just as much.....or more!!

FWIW.....

It all began with a dream. In 1937, Roy Dowell wanted to build a number of little trailers and put them throughout Oregon and Washington, but his dream of a chain of little diners had one problem. Roy had no money! However, Roy was able to work out a “deal” with Carlton Lumber Company in which Carlton would furnish Dowell the materials and Dowell would build the trailers. As they were sold, Dowell would pay back Carlton for the cost of the materials. Carlton Lumber was located in NE Portland where the Memorial Coliseum sits today. Roy actually built the trailers in the back of that lumber yard.

Eventually, 13 trailers were built and moved to locations such as Barlow, Hubbard, Dee Lake and Tenino, Washington. The price for a fully furnished unit was somewhere between $1500-$2000, which included not only the dog cooker and toaster, but a galvanized sink that quickly rusted out and was the source of many complaints from the buyers of these unique trailers

Charles Dowd was the original purchaser of the McLouglin Blvd trailer. The exact date of his purchase is unknown, but was sometime between 1937 to 1939. Transporting the trailer from NE Portland down Super 99 (McLoughlin Blvd.) required a permit from the State Highway Division. The State Highway Division dragged its feet in issuing the permit, so Dowell took a friend’s advice and moved the trailer down the highway at night. The trailer was functioning and included an axle and wheels...............................

.............................Roake’s has become an institution that is recognized for having the best hot dogs in Portland. Today’s customers are second, third and fourth generation from those very first customers from the late 1930’s. It is amazing the number of families that have made Roake’s a family tradition.

Why do some people fill their garages with worthless crap, while parking their nice vehicles out on their driveways in the elements?

Now there is a subject I can agree with you on. We live in a development where parking is only allowed on one side of the street throughout the ‘hood. Yet out of 120+ houses, we are one of the only homes to park both of our cars in the garage. Everybody else has a garage full of what is essentially useless crap. So parking sucks if anyone is having any kind of get together. Two months ago the UPS driver (NOT @MickZagger) forgot to set his parking break and the truck rolled back into the neighbors’ one car causing a fair amount of damage, while just missing his other car. This despite having a 2 car garage (filled to the brim with the same stuff they put in there when they moved in 7-8 years ago. He was not happy when I pointed out the obvious benefits of parking in a garage). If nothing else, for me to be able to get into a car in the winter without having scrape the windows (and is much warmer after sitting in the garage than outside) is worth getting ride of all the “family heirlooms” (that aren’t worth anything close to what we think they are).........

Our garage is filled with worthless crap but we still manage to make space for our one expensive car. A little tough for me to get in and out even though my wife leaves me triple the space that she has to get out of the car.
