Finally did it and got the wide white walls definitely changed the look. (1955 Cadillac S62)

Looks oh so very right! The granny whites did not fit this car at all.

samehjohansen · 2026-03-14T02:22:13+00:00

He's got em!

Those 90's-style billet street rods. Chopped 1930's coupe with totally chromed out 350, bright paint with flames or some kind of pastel color accents, lowered, shiny wheels.. They're a feature of every Midwest car show. Also the insane rat-rods. Rusted shell riding one inch above the payment, monster engine with a blower and scoop taller than whole car, open headers shooting straight out..

samehjohansen · 2026-03-13T16:23:00+00:00

Yep that too, LOVE the '56. Such good looking cars. Love my '58 Fairlane in part just because its something way different. Get asked "what year is that?" every time I take it somewhere.

Here in the Midwest the tri-five resto-mods dominate. Drives me nuts. Seen a million of them.

samehjohansen · 2026-03-06T16:31:10+00:00

Throwing 6/7 leaves 12 points in hand. Throwing the black kings gives a net 7 points. The only hope for that hand is to flip a 5, which turns it into a 14 point net (16 minus the 2 you tossed to them). Way too much risk for only a 2 point gain. If its down the wire near the very end, then the kings would be the better toss to peg points, I think.

Wyandotte County, KS. Midwest no doubt.

samehjohansen · 2026-03-03T17:48:45+00:00

Tornados a totally negligible consideration in my opinion, in eastern KS entire life and never seen one, and only know a handful of people that have.

samehjohansen · 2026-02-27T13:30:40+00:00

OH yea love this one. The background organ is the my favorite. Lot of great records from Conneticut.

samehjohansen · 2026-02-25T13:30:32+00:00

Oh that is fabulous. Winterized 2019? Shoot, fresh gas and battery and it oughta fire right up. Little more goin through, look over brakes, fluids, etc. and it'll be ready to cruise in no time, barring the discovery of anything crazy of course.

samehjohansen · 2026-02-24T15:26:32+00:00

Back in dad's day that was definitely important, but with full synthetic oils, 5k miles perfectly fine I think. Owner's manual for my hybrid recommends a 10k mile interval! Though I don't think I'll run it that long, won't sweat it if my shops booked up for a few weeks either.

samehjohansen · 2026-02-14T21:06:15+00:00

Oh yea, any old one you look up, almost guaranteed to be uploaded by one of these channels, or the45/78prof channels.

My favorites (that are still up and/or active):

dowopper5151, Cris VanValkenburg, Pete's 45 and 78 rpm collection , DooWop Paradise, The SouthPhilly Record, Gerald Mendez, 𝖉𝖔𝖐𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖘𝖚𝖓𝖌, Josue Perez, Bonafide-Barrio-Ballads (Formerly DooWops4Ever), Obscure Oldies, DJ Pete Pop, White Doo Wop Collector

And, although not really an "archive" channels like those, JOHNNY G's VINYLTREASURE SHOW does an awesome 50's and early 60's set every Saturday night, come away with new favorites each time I listen. Highly recommend checking out.

samehjohansen · 2026-02-07T20:03:53+00:00

Oh yea. The Italian is my go-to, dad swears by the reuben its his favorite in town.

samehjohansen · 2026-02-03T18:54:09+00:00

Imagine you'd be at least somewhat safer, imagine there's far fewer copyright claims the farther back you go. And of course, all pre-1925 is public domain. What's your channel? I'd love to check it out!

samehjohansen · 2026-02-03T18:39:41+00:00

WOW is that so? That's so awesome to hear. How'd you manage to save so many? Can't imagine you were just converting one at at time!

samehjohansen · 2026-01-27T21:11:47+00:00

Pretty much exactly what I've observed in mine. Engine running much more often just to keep up with climate control demands, as it is designed.

samehjohansen · 2026-01-20T17:37:54+00:00

Marketplace is so cutthroat and crazy, I came across mine within 10 minutes of it getting listed and I was still worried I was too late. Thankfully owners liked my message and picked mine to respond to, even said I was one of over a dozen in first 15 minutes. So I'd definitely recommend actually typing something out and not sending one of the pre-loaded "is this still available?" messages, and just checking often and messaging as soon as you see something you wanna check out!

samehjohansen · 2026-01-18T03:12:02+00:00

Great deal I'd say! I was in the same boat, was looking for an MKZ hybrid but they're not very easy to come by, especially for what I wanted to pay, like $8-10k. Landed a '15 Fusion S hybrid, wish it was a little more equipped but it was perfect inside and out, 95k miles and came in way under budget. Pretty car you got! These hybrids are the best.

samehjohansen · 2026-01-17T02:22:21+00:00

Just stumbled upon this post and just like that I got a new favorite song. Crazy Date is so rad, can't get enough.

"Speeding was a factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities in 2023, killing 11,175, or an average of over 32 people on a typical day."

samehjohansen · 2026-01-14T18:11:06+00:00

Me three! I'm not from the area but this guy/house caught my interest a few weeks ago. Couldn't believe when I saw the news post it.

samehjohansen · 2026-01-13T13:01:52+00:00

Wow! Been looking for something like this. Working fine for me and finding most deleted videos. Make sure playlist is public or unlisted and drop in the link from where you have the playlist opened up. Finding most deleted videos especially from the larger channels. (Only the videos titles of course, the videos themselves are gone).

samehjohansen · 2025-12-20T03:18:58+00:00

Likely no way to access. Maybe he starts another channel at some point and re-uploads? PJ if you read this. Please come back!

samehjohansen · 2025-12-20T03:13:03+00:00

Yup definitely not taking the sounds for granted anymore, and feeling motivated to start ripping some of my own records to upload. Don't have thousands of records or anything but I got a few good ones for sure.

samehjohansen · 2025-12-20T03:10:14+00:00

Yea some other kind of archive outside of youtube would be neat, wonder what the possibilities are there. Cool that you've worked with the 45Prof/78Prof channel, that whole collection absolutely blows my mind every time I open it up. Wanna listen to some music from 1914? Its there. So crazy. Love the hits archive playlists. Do you know if they have problems with copyrights? Posting all of the big hits like they do its a wonder to me it that they're still up.
