:lol: :lol:


I was once watching AR and the item was Frank Lloyd Wright drafting plans for a house in Nebraska. The plans owner did not live in the house and had never owned it, but said it was the only FLW in NE.

My college girlfriend married a man whose parents own the house (bank owners). I watched the segment in amazement, unbelieving. Both are from McCook, NE, and I've been to the town many times with her to visit her parents when we were dating in the early/mid 1990s. She's the woman in the photos in my N1254Z crash reconstruction thread here.
I just searched up that thread... very interesting stuff! Very sad ending for the last owner of that plane though. Planes are fascinating to me, but I'm terrified to set foot on one lol.

A buddy of mine from high school with the same birthday got his pilots license in the early 80's. Wanted to fly me to Santa Barbara from the SF Bay Area. We use to spend quite a bit of time together but that's one place I wouldn't hang out with him.

The other 960 wagon that sold on BaT about the same time made $3k. This guy is suffering from Barrett-Jackson Syndrome. Watch too many high-end auctions and your ride becomes priceless.
BaT is a virus for people who think they're junk is worth millions. People don't seem to realize that their cars aren't worth as much as some stuff on BaT sells for. Hell, I don't know why half the stuff on BaT goes for as much as it does!

It's gambling and an addiction. Just one hundred more and it's mine and I've hit the jack pot.

LS swap - not sure that’s enough horsepower, or that the wheels stick out far enough for me.

Just being picky, I know.

Have to say in my personal taste, that is plain hideous. I'll have to see if I can find an old photo from about 40 years ago I took in Sweden of a modified 120. It is an actual photo!
