  1. Bader would deserve his own thread. He flew and fought with two artificial legs. He was shot down and lost one of them. An arrangement was made for a British plane to drop a new leg one night. After getting them Bader tried to escape and as punishment the Germans took at least one of his legs away every night.
  2. Here's another good one http://www.nationalchamps.net/2022/index.htm
  3. Just keep matriculating the ball
  4. Didn't see it but I had just turned off 183 to get to Pickel Center. Wondered what all the sirens were when I was parking
  5. That list is a little better than a decent collection. More like a bucket list
  6. For the 03 season but I agree with 04 in general. SC had multiple ineligible players and knew it. That game should have been Auburn vs OU. The 83 Miami also stinks. (putting on a helmet here because I know Texas should could have won it) but that Miami team didn't play anyone. Nebraska was highly overated because they beat Penn State badly in the first game. They really didn't play anyone either. I still mad that a one loss Auburn (to Texas) didn't even move up when everyone above them lost in bowls. I also wonder if Texas had won their bowl - would they have won it over Miami. The NBC press department spent an entire month advertising the Orange Bowl as the NC. But the 84 BYU was just bad. Because of conference tie ins they didn;t even play in a "big" bowl. IIRC they beat Michigan in Holiday Bowl
  7. To be fair the Monza was supposed to have GM's Wankel engine which never happened. On the other hand they still shoved the V8 in there
  8. That is a perfect vehicle for them. I still have my 2001 version and it is bulletproof and fairly easy to work on. Only 2 or 3 failure points and those are easy to prevent with maintenance. The only issue that worries me isn;t an issue in Texas - rust.Toyota did well when they designed the 3rd gen.
  9. I have the same power bleeder and it rocks. Had to make a custom fitting for the 4Runner but man it makes it easy for a one man brake fluid change
  10. Almost got killed by my MGA in college. Was lying on ground with head under car to look at something and asked DAd to start it. He reached in and hit the starter. MGA's do not have a clutch switch so the car took off. Somehow I got my head out of the way and got smacked with the door as it went by. Somehow it hit the end of the garage and didn't do any damage to car (or me). Big fan of clutch switches ever since
  11. I hit 35+ going downhill on Parmer after 1431. The problem was the wind was helping and I knew coming back up those hills was death. Usually 10-12 mph coming back
  12. In terms of things going wrong a few hundred mmiles from home - you hit the jackpot
  13. Played there at corporate event about ten years ago. It's not worth 275 - when course is in perfect shape. Maybe half that.
  14. Not sure how they got to be old....
  15. Except when you aren't paying attention and knock it off while making a right turn and the milkshake goes everywhere.
  16. I know the feeling of covered in gas unfortunately. Luckily during the day but about 30 degrees. Was replacing a fuel filter and didn;t crack the cap so all the pressure exploded gas all over me. Lots of fun in back yard hosing down in 30 degrees
  17. dad had a 128 sport coupe in 70's (hardtop version of 124). Fun to drive but, as was mentioned, required constant work
  18. Is there away to not show this column in Firefox? I prefer the cleaner look
  19. I really liked the color when I first saw it. Called Thundercloud. Only sold it in 01 and 02. For some reason people didn;t buy it as much as expected
  20. After looking again I think it is just the sun bleach of the lower lip that threw me off. Here's my 01 which has the same lip but slightly different color. It was very odd in 2000 when I bought the 2001. There were something like 3 or 4 different bumpers depending on the model of 4Runner. Full paint on limited, full paint on some sport models, or chrome, and options on fender flares. Bought mine specifically with the chrome bumper
  21. Yeah - unfortunate that the green paint turned out to be that way. It was a gorgeous color when new. Front bumper puzzles me. Mine is 2001 but I thouhgt the only choices were painted or chrome. Your looks like it has a lower lip of something else
  22. Unfortunately I remember in the late 70's you could get one for 500 bucks. And have sevral to choose from.
