[Tom Wesenberg]

My turn to nitpick, or is it nit pick? Or maybe it's knit pick?
Mitch, "there" should be "they're".

It's raining outside, so I can't do my yard work.

and they should be correctly named "anti-blackwall" tires.

You hit my hot button, so I had to speak up.

Hello Chris, it's nice to see you again. I think it's great to see when real men with both brains and balls use them both at the same time. It is my opinion (only mine) that this country is headed south because so many are willing to let things 'slide' and not get engaged with what's going on. I'm proud of you!

Although I don't own any, I do like whitewalls on certain cars. Glad to see there is still some humor and school teachers out there correcting the grammar. Now,,,,,,,what about Babbitt and shims???????????????
OH,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,never mind,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i think that has been discussed. No rain here in Calif. Just plenty of sun.

Geez...and why not mention 600 weight oil for the trans.....

[peters180a/170b]

400-A is the correct way .. A-400 does not bother me and i joke about it A LOT... If you want really to be incorrect then say A-400 and i'll sound and look stupid when asked : That's a Deluxe Phaeton ,180A? and i'll say,, its a A-180. My past Standard Roadster now would be B-40 and not 40-B .At least the JUDGING STANDARDS has it correctly as 400-A. And please leave the tops up....I do joke about that too.... thank you forever4 for the correction,, i am selling a fully restored Mid 1931 Deluxe Coupe [45-B] for a close friend of mine and trying to work a deal for a 1930 standard roadster[40-B] at the same time for my 1935 Chevy.

Sounds like a perfect day Fred. And I see you like black walls and whitewalls. I like your avatar.

True Story On A Lesson for Always Using Perfect & Correct Ford Vocabulary:

After getting my Model A in 1958, an 85 year old or so gentleman riding his horse got off of his horse, looked at my car, & told me he really like my "T-Mol-A".

I asked him why did he call it a "T-Mol-A".

He replied that he never had an automobile; however, he had always been corrected by others because of his not knowing the difference between a Model T & a Model A; hence, when he called it a "T-Mol-A" nobody made fun of him.

Pour soul ............... The "meek" will "always" inherit the Earth.

Any one have any confusion with where 'The Big Apple' is ? - "NYC" (New York City) ? ; "Frisco" , - 'San Francisco" ? ' The Windy City' (Chicago) ? We are not talking 'Bean Town' (Boston) here, or 'Moscow' (Idaho).

I am sure some will miss some questions on the quiz, but most will recognize the qulloquil names. Just like 'Model A' does not clearly identify the model as being Ford. My Duesenberg, for instance is a 'Model A'; and I know of about six other marques that have a 'Model A' designation. In fact, the FORD marque has TWO ! But we let it all 'slide' , because we get the intent in context.

Thanks ZZlegen. After I took that picture (avatar), I put whitewalls on the 29 std coupe. Yes I am all messed up putting whitewalls on Std 29 coupe, what ever number it is, but who cares-I don't. We won third place with it in the Forest Grove Concours d' Elegance a few weeks ago.
