I had a 1959 Corvette also. Fuel Injected, Inca Silver. I know not many were that color and I'm sure fewer that were fuel injected. Should have kept that car. Here is a sunny day picture with the Hard Top off.Quote:

I Like
Everybody has toys, and toys. But you know what my Grandkids are the best. You know why? cause they get to play with my toys too!
I'm surprised that no one noticed before:
That AR-15 receiver's logo pays homage to the movie "Red Dawn":

That alone makes me want to get one! :D:D
I wonder if that was really the intent. If so, I agree it is cool.
You have my admiration, 'Rustship'Quote:

We could keep the 'toys' we accumulate for ourselves, and they'd pass away when we do.
If we share our life and earned possessions with our family while we're still alive, our knowledge and life's experiences will live on for many generations.
I know it doesn't always work like that in life because of reasons out of our control, but it's SO important to the generations who follow us if we try.
Thanks cafdfw,
My grandson lives with me of his own choice, I wonder why! I will admit I spoil him and his sister rotten. But in todays world these kids are going to need all the help that they can get. I am very proud of him (I guess it shows). He loves Guns, Paintball, Guitars, Cars, you name it. I'm going to show him off again here, and I hope this link will lead you to his You tube site ( which I helped him set up ) so that you all can enjoy his 50's, 60's, and 70's Guitar music. I got a lota time right now because I'm on Spring Break vacation, so my posts will slow down substantually next week. It was actually Brandon my grandson who has prodded me into collecting and gathering of M1 carbines. If this link will take you to his youtube, enjoy this beautiful piece from the 50's.

I would rather throw rocks in my creek with my 4 year old Grandson, Will, than shoot a truck load of guns.... We try to do it at least once a week.
