    I know this guy and he is absolutely meticulous about his vehicles. He is a wealthy collector and has an immaculate, custom-built, climate controlled car barn for his rolling stock.
    If you want a red Mustang, this is your best chance.

    This no-reserve auction is for a 2006 Ford Mustang GT Coupe Premium 4.6L V8 5-Speed Manual Transmission, one owner, purchased new in April 2006, a non-smokers car. This car is not my daily driver, it’s in heated storage all winter and has never been driven in salt or snow. I bought it because my first two cars were ’68 and ’65 mustangs and have enjoyed it for seven years but now it’s time to move on. This would make a great graduation present for someone!
    Torch Red exterior with Medium Parchment leather interior. Rear spoiler delete. 17” aluminum wheels. Shaker 500 Audio System with 6 CD changer. 4 wheel disc brakes, dual exhaust, Anti-lock brakes, and traction control differential. Interior upgrade package. The car is all stock and has never been modified.

    Good morning Hamsters. Looks like we are fortunate to squeeze one more delightful cool morning (58) out of our fabulous Spring. Thank you, Lord.
    Boy, when things start to fall apart for the Obamabots, the dam really breaks big time.
    Wonder how many other eruptions are waiting in the wings. As if Benghazi, the IRS interference with the Tea Party movement, and the AP phone taps weren’t enough scandals to overfill the plate. Pathetic. Expose all, and let the consequences play out with vigor on the perps.

    Santa Anna and Burnet sign Treaties of Velasco
    May 14, 1836

    On this day in 1836, in the aftermath of the decisive Texan victory at San Jacinto, ad interim president David G. Burnet and Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna signed two treaties at the town of Velasco. The public treaty was to be published immediately, and the secret agreement was to be carried into execution when the public treaty had been fulfilled. The public treaty, with ten articles, provided that hostilities would cease, that Santa Anna would not again take up arms against Texas, that the Mexican forces would withdraw beyond the Rio Grande, that property confiscated by Mexicans would be restored, that prisoners would be exchanged on an equal basis, that Santa Anna would be sent to Mexico as soon as possible, and that the Texas army would not approach closer than five leagues to the retreating Mexicans. In the secret agreement, in six articles, the Texas government promised the immediate liberation of Santa Anna on condition that he use his influence to secure from Mexico acknowledgment of Texas independence; Santa Anna promised not to take up arms against Texas, to give orders for withdrawal from Texas of Mexican troops, to have the Mexican cabinet receive a Texas mission favorably, and to work for a treaty of commerce and limits specifying that the Texas boundary not lie south of the Rio Grande. Both the governments of Texas and Mexico then proceeded to violate the terms of the treaties, and their conflict continued.

    #4 Texpat, the best of both worlds, this Mustang looks just like a 67 down to the instrument cluster but this one has more power, more than even the 390 (rear wheel HP) also it will be more comfortable and reliable. 😀

    I just can’t believe that the racists have taken over and are berating our magnificent President so terribly. Just because he has a disadvantaged background and does not know right from wrong or anything about our constitution and the law is no excuse to be giving him such a hard time. Besides, everybody is supposed to love Santa Claus, and he is doing his best to take care of the vuneables and the Al-Quidas and other oppressed races. Shame on you for attacking him.

    My #12, My boy sold his 1999 Camaro for $14, NADA $10K, but only because he saved every Dyno pull from 320HP to 430HP and he had all the time slips from 13.4s to 11.3s. I might add that he put about $2K in after someone else had already replaced the heads and built the rear end box frame.
    He ran two back to back 13.4’s missing third gear. (6 speed), I missed third almost every time I drove the dang thang. 😉

    #18:

    White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said:
    “Other than press reports, we have no knowledge of any attempt by the Justice Department to seek phone records of the AP. We are not involved in decisions made in connection with criminal investigations, as those matters are handled independently by the Justice Department. Any questions about an ongoing criminal investigation should be directed to the Department of Justice.”

    Slick Willie tried that one with the Waco incineration of innocent wimminzes and chirrenzes. I guess that OJugEars has no concept of chain of command or thinks that we don’t. The very notion that the criminals in the whitehouse did not know about and direct the wiretapping is absurd on its face.

    From a story at The Blaze:

    “The president’s claim that he said ‘act of terrorism’ is taking revisionist history too far,” Kessler wrote in a post Tuesday, “given that [Obama] repeatedly refused to commit to that phrase when asked directly by reporters in the weeks after the attack.”

    I know what MY first reaction to that quote was? What do you say is wrong with this statement?

    It is absolutely consistent and accurate. . . . . . .as long as once acknowledges that “the truth” is whatever forwards the agenda of Obama, regardless of what reality actually reveals. The truth today is completely independent of what the truth was yesterday.

    And they all pay income taxes and are starting to realize that it’s a short step from singling out 501(c)(4) applications for non-profits and auditing their principals to auditing anyone who might not toe the line. There have already been several journalists (albeit some of the more conservative ones, e.g., John Podhoretz) who have gotten to experience multiple recent audits.

    Most are ardent cheerleaders to toe that line. The blatant illegality of it all is irrelevant. Being libs and all, they have never trained themselves to see beyond the first step, which is why they always seem so surprised at the unintended consequences that the conservatives told them would happen. Eventually, they will realize that their own bottom line is starting to bleed red, because any semblance of integrity or balance or rational thought has been sacrificed at the altar of liberalism; unfortunately by then it may be too late for the rest of us, unless there is serious change of behavior by the true patriots.

    As far as the hummingbird – that reminds me of my butterfly encounter.
    Scene: A hot blacktop (the school parking lot cleared of vehicles). Our high school marching band practicing the week’s routine. We are in the middle of a diamond drill, and the formation has an empty diamond in the middle, into which the brass march to play sans the rest of the band. While they’re playing that piece of the song, the rest of us wait at attention, horns in our mouths ready to play. I, as an alto sax player, had my mouthpiece that came directly out in front of my mouth before the neck curves down.
    As we’re standing there, a monarch butterfly lands on my mouthpiece, not an inch from my nose. I’m not supposed to move, and it wasn’t a bee, so I held position, eyeball to eyeball with the butterfly. It slowly opened and closed its wings, and its proboscis unrolled and retracted several times. It sat there with me as my nearby classmates giggled, until I had to kick off and start marching again.
    Not a big moment to be sure, but it sure was memorable!
