Sport Off-Road Touring
1972 Chevrolet Corvette 1978 International Harvester Scout II 1954 Lincoln Capri Coupe
There was an orange 2023 Corvette Z06 convertible also for sale this week, but I’m more of a classics guy. Speaking of classics, this fits that bill perfectly, right down to the green patterned upholstery. Rust is kind of orange, right? Set up in the style of a 1950s-era La Carrera Panamericana race car.

Here is what last week’s cars sold for, or bid to (if the reserve was not met):
Sports: 2003 Infiniti G35 Sold for $13,000 on 10/25/23
Off-Road: 1964 Datsun 320 Bid to $14,527 on 10/25/23
Touring: 2007 Audi A6 Sold for $15,261 on 10/25/23

I have always thought this was a better looking Nissan 350Z, plus it is in my favorite color. A really cool old JDM pickup that is just made much better by plopping it on a Jeep chassis. Another week and another German made made wagon. or an Estate as we anglophiles call them.

Here is what last week’s cars sold for, or bid to (if the reserve was not met):

Not only is the NFL cashing in on the most talked about famous people romance since Ben-ifer (Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez.) Amazon Prime Video is trying to capitalize…

Here is a screen grab I snagged while looking for something to watch yesterday:

42,000 Dust Bunnies*

Friday, October 20, 2023

*This post has been sitting in the drafts folder for a bit over three weeks now for one reason or another. It has been so long long that we are more than half way towards the forty-three thousand mile mark…

In preparation for our big move we have been packing up little used stuff and cleaning every nook and cranny of 4 years of accumulated dirt and dust that we don’t really need to take with us. We are both fairly neat people and we have now pets, so it is amazing how much dust could be found in the house. I’m blaming it on the dry high-desert climate.

While running errands around Klamath Falls, the Mini rolled over the 42,000 mile barrier.

The title of this week’s SORT is a nod to the fact that this makes the 3rd post in a row of this type here on the long running blog entitled Life of Brian with nothing in between. That means there have been 2 weeks with zero posts besides SORT. Let’s shoot for an actual post about said life between now and next Monday.

A Honda engine in a Toyota chassis painted a Nissan color. A nicely modified off-roader that will last until the next century. A cute camper just made for living off the grid with those solar panels.

The E46 M3 is the best M3, fight me on it. Say Land Rover and this is the last thing you think of. Just needs a fake company name on the sides.

"Ninety Percent Of Everything Is Crap"
Derived from a quote by science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon, who once said, "Sure, 90% of science fiction is crud. That's because 90% of everything is crud." Oddly, when Sturgeon's Law is cited, the final word is almost invariably changed to 'crap'.
