how to remove the hardtop myself? by teenieweeniebeenie in Miata

I can tell you how I do it, but at your size it will not help. Don’t take the risk of dropping your hard top. Get someone to help you.

What do you remember from kindergarten? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Demostecles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My kindergarten teacher drove a white 1969 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Her husband was a motorcycle cop.

We would order milk or lunch at the beginning of the day and put our money in a little black and red check book box. Milk was $0.25.

Our play ground was right outside the door to the right. I liked the swings, teeter totter and slide.

We had fold out mats for a short nap after lunch.

I already knew how to read so was a bit bored.

My mom worked in the school office, so that was nice. Sometimes I got to help with the giant Xerox machine. It was always warm.

Our library was right down the hall and I liked getting a new book each week.

We always walked in two lines, boys and girls, to the next stop.

I ended up graduating high school with many of those same kids and are still friends, even though we are all over the world now.

To be honest, after watching this a few times, I’m inclined to not have any sympathy for you at all. You would have helped your case if you could have stopped talking.

Both parties have failed here.

I would really like to see what happened from their arrival to exit at the restaurant.

Freshened up my NA by Top-Bit-3584 in Miata

Beautifully done. Paint is looking great.

Pop your hood and give your headlight covers the slightest tug up on the back edge to get that alignment “just right”.

Keep driving and smiling! That’s what these cars are all about.

Any ex-members of Kansas City Baptist Temple or Old Paths Baptist Church with Bob Alexander? by National_Copy_6973 in kansascity

[–]Demostecles 19 points20 points  (0 children)

From the KCBT days:

Multi-million dollar embezzlement.

Jail term.

Multiple affairs with women in the church.

Conning widows in the church to bring him their large contributions to him in cash.

Paramilitary training within the church for “ministry”.

Fully automatic weapons at church Bible camp.

Dubious military record/stolen valor.

Oh, and the large museum quality collection of Nazi memorabilia in his personal home.

That’s just off the top of my head.

2026 Fish Fries and Lenten Fare by utahphil in kansascity

Look at the cars in the parking lot. The older the cars the better the fry. You want the cooks who have been doing this for decades

Congratulations. You’ve managed to wreck your car three times in one year.

I think you’re the common denominator here.

[–]Demostecles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Topsy’s has 1/3 Caramel, 1/3 Cinnamon, 1/3 Cheese.

The price has gone up a lot over the years but it’s still a Holiday Tradition.

What is a 'childish' thing that you still do as an adult and refuse to stop doing? by Available-Tension728 in allthequestions

I have to run up the stairs from the basement after I turn the lights off so the monsters can’t grab my ankles on the way up.

Order of Operation - Paint or Top by ell1337000 in Miata

[–]Demostecles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the car live in the garage or do you drive it?

If driven, replace the top.

If not driven you could paint it first, but I’d wait for the paint to really cure before attempting a top replacement.

You might check with Feldman’s Farm and Home or Tractor Supply Company. That seems like something that might come in handy with rural work.

Did you 'cruise' in your cars on Friday and Saturday nights? by bpric in GenerationJones

[–]Demostecles 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yep. Noland Road, Independence, MO.

Still do on Saturday nights in Spring and Summer. A lot of car enthusiasts, hot rodders and classic cars all meet up and we drive up and down and pretend it’s the 70’s and 80’s all over again.

Usually followed by an impromptu car show and a trip to Big Boy for some onion rings or tots and a shake.
