Street Machines, If this were the original green Mustang fastback that Steve McQueen blasted around San Francisco with in "Bullitt", or the black Dodge Charger that was racing him, then I could understand the price at auction. Any lesser movie car is really more hype than value.   Peace to all ~

Donald Trump has to be one of the most blatantly successful con artists to ever strut the stage of American business. Frankly, I wouldn't trust him any farther than I could throw one of his overpriced condo towers. I really hope the lady gets some justice in court from this professional blowhard.   Peace to all ~

The only written record of what happened that day was by Pliny The Y...more

As Chukkal mentioned earlier, this is the anniversary of the Mt. Saint Helens event...33 years. As large as that was, it ranks fifth or sixth on the scale of cataclysmic volcanic events in relatively modern times. Imagine what it must have been like to be around Novarupta in 1912 , Krakatoa in 1883 or the infamous Tamb...more
