datzenmike Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Ted fucked his chance of ever becoming president, and don't kid yourself he had his eye on the prize, so he didn't get away clean. He was still a womanizing prick and a drunk. There are three things that become respectable with age... old buildings, old madams and old politicians. In his later years he did champion some worthwhile causes. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Yeah. Most want to leave a good legacy like a positive change. Rather than being known as a drunken womanizer of poor character. Maybe he woke up one day and figured he's better get in before the lock. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

bilzbobaggins Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 A few land rovers. There are 3 or 4 land cruisers in there as well. They were closed for the day so I could not get a better picture. I was told there was at least twice as many before he sold some. 4 Quote Link to comment

Racer X 69 Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Had to get some blood drawn for lab work the other day. I see the guy before me had to leave a urine sample. Boy, he really has something wrong with his pee. 2 Quote Link to comment

There were races with the fancy race cars ( I was 9 ) so that's what I called them. Then at the end of the evening there was a "run what you brung" race. There were wood paneled country squire station wagons, Van's, pick ups and everything in between. But my Dad surprised me one time by taking me to the Joie Chitwood show. About 1980. I can't find a video of that show but they were using chevy chevettes. About 6 of them were scrap metal at the end but it is a memory etched in my mind forever. 5 Quote Link to comment
