Wow, Wardharris, is it that good that you would honestly say, 'Like driving a bank vault'? Because, you know, i've been considering Dynamat. And your comment could have me turn the corner... Users' experience and all that, dontcha know.

A useless question, Wardharris, if you don't mind the curiosity: the rear light assembly seen with part of the rear fender in your post #662: is that part of the Lexus seen in a later post (an SC430?)? Or something more interesting?

Chevy Vega ..... : )
Wards a big fan of Chevy powered vehicles.

You sure it's a Vega and not a Pontiac Astre?

The wifely Lexus (Toyota Royale)...

But what's with the hillbilly parking brake, Ward!

 

[wardharris]

E brake works but I am a conservative fellow what lives in a hill....

Nope, she's a house elf. No clothes allowed or required.

Dream or hallucination?

There's a difference? How do you tell?

 

[wardharris]

Lots of compliments and one "nice Land Rover" so far...

 

[cruiserdan]

You need to re-apply the accent paint the "LAND CRUISER" on both sides of the FRP. That may help in some cases.

 

[elkaholic]

Nope .... I still get "nice Jeep" all the time.

 

[61Mk+]

Elkaholic, you're not the only one. I get, 'Your Jeep', and 'Your Land Rover' quite often. I even heard one guy say, 'it's a Land Rover, from England, right-hand-drive and everything'; and he was talking about my old 61.
You learn to see the humour, and let others wallow happily in their ignorance.
