Best looking classic cars thread

I'e always admired the design of the 1966 Buick Rivera. It's not the one most cars guys would probably name (the 65 gets a lot of love, as do the later "boattails"), but I think it's damn near perfect- it's not easy to make a big car look that good

What's one of your favorites? Let's say between 1950 and 1970 or so.[/URL]

Be honest with your assessments getting to Elite status.

Since the CFA created this fraud playoff system there have been 3 elite programs and a whole lot of ain't gonna get there programs.

Ga knocks then Al, loaded with 5 stars that want a guarantee entrance to one of the Div 1 farcical circus 3 seed programs goes out and kicks Ga's doors in.

Ya... CJF has called some head scrathers and but in the end, it's a 3 team +1 occasional visitor Div 1 system and that is that for the time being.

Fans of all the wannabe in programs... just keep buying your tickets and funding the futility.

Not, me. Not now. I will be back when NCAA football makes an attempt to fix the problem they let the CFA create. If that's forever, so be it. I am not one of those that was born every minute.

Players who saw no or limited action last night

My biggest disappointment was that Ford was the only RB to get a carry last night. The running game was stopped dead in it's tracks by OSU. Almost all between the tackles. Where was Keyvone Lee? He looked good on 2 carries vs Indiana.

PSU needs another WR. It seems that Lambert-Smith is the logical choice but he's young.

DEs haven't done much. I was hoping this might be the year for Simmons to do more but It's not happening.

Did Hansard play at DT? He's another kid I hoped would make a big contribution.

TE seems to be pretty much limited to Friermuth and he might as well be a WR. Has Kuntz played this year?

Where does this rank in the worst blown leads during the Franklin era?

Top five are listed below. I have it at number one.

1. 2020 Indiana. Need I say more. Indiana 36 PSU 35
2. 2018 Ohio State. Up 26-14 midway thru the 4th quarter. PSU defense gets burned on two straight possessions. Then PSU runs the ball on 4th and five in the final possession. Ohio State 27 PSU 26.
3. 2017 Ohio State. Ohio State outscores PSU 19-3 in the 4th quarter to win 39-38.
4. 2016 USC. Up 49-35 midway thru the 4th quarter, USC scores 17 unanswered points to win 52-49.
5. 2014 Maryland. Up 19-17 in the 4th, PSU gets conservative on offense. Maryland kicks the game winning FG with 51 seconds left.

Facts do not lie. No lead is safe!

OK, so what shows on Netflix or Amazon Prime do you recommend for binge watching?

Unfortunately, we don't have any sports to watch and really can't go out much or travel, so now is a great time to catch up on shows we may have wanted to see, but never had the time. My suggested list based on what I have already seen and enjoyed are as follows:

1. Jack Ryan - pretty action packed and great scenery
2. Hunters - very action packed, and will keep you in suspense all the way through to the end
3. Bosch - just started watching and so far so good, but not sure I love it yet.
4.The Kominsky Method - Hilarious about old men like me:)!
5. The Irishmen - not a series, but at 3 1/2 hours, you'll need to maybe watch in 2 sittings. It is excellent though!

I am looking for others, but am awaiting your feedback before deciding!

MLB lost ~ $3B this year

and collectively is now $8.3 B in Debt...will move for a new collective bargaining agreement. The current one expires Dec 1 2021.

enjoy the series because it could be the last one in a while. The league is going to have to do something about the imbalance of the large and small market teams. I'd love to see them make the playoffs based on wins per million in payroll 😇

OT....anyone else watch Social Dilemma yet on Netflix......

My wife watched it, then had the 2 older kids (pre-teens) watch and I finally got around to it last night. Good stuff that I think most of us are aware of it to a certain extent, but I recommend it for those with pre-teen kids and on up. It also kind of shows how the conspiracy theory driven people are manipulated....which again...I think most sane people are aware of.

OT: Any of you guys weld?

I'd like to pick up the skill because I like to build stuff, and while I have plenty of room to grow from a quality perspective with woodworking, I'd really like to open up the possibilities and add the ability to integrate metal.

Two thing come to mind where I would like to employ welding: Furniture (ie wood/metal table), and the railing/banister/whatever in the house I'm building.

So, knowing that, what kind of welding and welding equipment should I be looking at? I've done a decent amount of soldering (copper), and I've heard that some welding has some similarities with that.

Any/all thoughts and feedback appreciated!
