Interesting timing with this news for me. Last week I was watching a rerun of Emergency on MeTV where the plot centered around a headstrong young doctor who was being condescending to Gage and Desoto, but had an attitude adjustment after he was assigned to do a ride along with the paramedics...

I’m with you there! I’ve got messed up feet and a few of the shows I’ve been to in recent years everyone insisted on standing the whole show and it got real uncomfortable for me, I’d have to sit and stare at the person in front of me’s butt from time to time. I can remember going to stadium...

In my teens and early 20s I saw lots of concerts, and even through my 20s I saw a number of shows before my friends got older and lost their enthusiasm to go out much. A few years ago, a 100 year old beautiful but falling apart movie theater in the village next to mine got restored to a music...

That’s the point, communication in aviation is tightly controlled to prevent misunderstandings. And if people in general were more disciplined in their use of the English language by not changing it or inventing new definitions and usage all the time, there would be far fewer misunderstandings...

For a time now everything has been “awesome” but now that seems to be changing to “perfect”. Not sure how this evolution of the English language happens. Aviation is one of the hats I wear. One thing I like in aviation is that the terminology in aviation is rigidly controlled. Controllers and...

One that’s been getting on my nerves lately is mostly written, but spreading into verbal communications, is this trend of breaking a short sentence into each word having a period after it, I guess for emphasis. Like it makes whatever platitude you’re babbling about really deep. So it’d be “Stop...

Wish you could send some here. We’re in a moderate drought. It has been abnormally cool here this spring. So much for global warming I guess. We had next to no snow last winter too. I’ve enjoyed this weather for recent car events for sure!

I finally got around to uploading my pictures and creating an album of my pictures from the show. CMC Mo-Power Show Downers Grove 6-1-25

They seem to have a bit of a different business model for selling then other brokers I have heard about. You tell them what you want for your car, and they then mark up that price and market the car, when it sells they earn whatever they get above what you agreed to as your selling price. Most...

Could be Dave, but being from the area, I know a number of people who've used Volo to sell cars for them, and all of them said things worked out fine for them with the sales. Several of them are high end car type sophisticated collectors. You used to live a punch and a roll down Rt 12 from...

It's been listed for a number of months, so buyers aren't beating a path to Volo to get it. I have a decent idea of my car's worth, I am trying to get a handle on that cars real worth, if in fact Volo would be open to negotiating a trade. The number I had in mind when my acquaintance in OH sent...

Over the weekend one of my car buddies suggested I talk to Volo about working a possible trade for this car. I think their price is high but wanted to get other's opinions. I actually looked at it in person around 3 years ago when I was visiting relatives in OH and stopped by to see the owners...

Shows sold today for $162,500. ~$40K more than what it supposedly sold for a month ago? Something seems fishy, but at auctions that is often the case!

A friend with a 300 told me that a 300 display was proposed and people are working to recruit cars for it, but I thought I’d later heard it’s delayed until the 2026 MCACN.
