I hate myself on video even more, so probably just audio. As for a schedule, not sure but the goal would be a few times a year, as time allows. Maybe I could batch up a few and release them every few months.

Could be fun!

I hate the sound of my own voice too so I get what you are saying.  Will the podcast be with video?

What will be your plan for schedule?  Weekly or bi-weekly?

Lounge / Podcast?
Last post by EricCoolCats -
Only about a decade and a half too late but...

I'm thinking about (maybe) doing a podcast for our cars. Admittedly I don't like the sound of my own voice and my public speaking skills are rudimentary, but if there's enough interest I'd be willing to give it a try. It might be a good winter project so that's why I'm considering it.

Would anyone be interested in this?

And if so, what would you like to hear? Any particular subject?

Not sure if I could get any guest speakers but that would be a great goal. Even if it's just one of you guys relaying a story or advice, that would be great.

Just spitballing here. LMK your thoughts either way.

This one's going to go away for a bit and something will be leaving before it comes back. I had the funds and wanted to grab it, as the 2drs are harder to find.

Did I need it? No. Did I want it? Yes. :mullet:

Other Vehicles / OK. So hear me out...

I may have a problem.

This is more of an introduction post, vs a project thread, as this is going into storage for a bit, as I have many other things in front of me currently.

I've had the itch for another RWD daily driver. Specifically, a 2-door Fox.
On the short list of options were:
- 80-82 XR-7 or Tbird
- Fairmont Futura or Zephyr Z7
- Box top Fairmont or----this----





81-82 Granada 2Dr

The Box Birds were a little bigger than I wanted, and my wife actually preferred these to the Futuras (which were my initial front-runners).

I have a plan formulating, but after I get the title stuff done, it's going to sit in storage for a while until I have the bandwidth.
The 2-Drs are harder to find, so I jumped at it, even though I'm buried in projects currently.

Aside from the baked paint, areas, there is NO rust on the body or underneath (NC car). I6/auto with 2.73's, but that's all moot, as none of that will wind up staying in place, no matter what winds up propelling it later. It's all tired, but I just drove it the 60 miles back to our place from my buddy's (We dropped it there after the pick up a couple weeks back).

My current daily is the '97 Turbo Volvo 850 in the background. Fun car, with lots of mods/upgrades to it but I think I've run my limit again of dailying a FWD car. There's also availability issues on some parts that are starting to get on my nerves.
With this, it's all "Mustang" stuff to keep it on the road.

Anyway. Here's to doing silly car stuff!
