    Oh, now that's tremendously atrocious. A single turntable to mount one vehicle at a time I can see, but mounting them up where you can't test-drive them, well, that's just plain mean.

    What was that telephone number again?
    :oops:
    In Orlando FL, we have to dial, OK, press, 10 digits.

    I kinda miss the fun of a dial phone. Some smart somebody came up with an adapter to allow you to use a Western Electric phone on a VoIP circuit.

    I still remember an aunt in the country with wooden wall phone and the one ringy dingy two ringy dingy thing. Two whom do you want to speak to?
    My grand parents only had four digets when I was in high school. After that it was five numbers for years.
    At home we had two bean cans with a string between them.
    The nieghbor guy had a small bonfire and an old baby blanket. :biglaugh:

    I just made an offer on this badass motorcycle:

    I don't think I'll need tattoos or a leather biker costume to ride it around the backroads of the little town of Interlachen FL.

    We have friends in Hollister and there are some wild bikers around there.
    Where you gonna find a V-stripped sweater like those and a girl with a pony tail?

    If he does, it's likely he'll end up jailed for offering a girl some candy and a ride.

    Old Mabel, the operator, finally passed away so we can't use this phone anymore.

    However, our wall phone still works. Before the phone company went all digital, it was the only phone that still worked when the power went out because it drew its power from the phone line rather than an electrical outlet. Now it's just like the rest of them.
