What's missing?




















You washed the truck ?














(and the windshield looks a little less breaky than before. )









(Just was Compton-adjacent this morning...)





Can I change my answer ?





The real thing missing from the picture, is no sign of any Escorts.

Yes, the easy answer to the kwik kwiz is that the kwacks are missing.

Extra kwedit would be given for catching the fact that the screws at the lower corners of the stainless are also missing (brought along some spares for them to install in place of the drilled ones).

I made an appointment to have a new windshield installed in my "1969 Dodge Dart", and lost sleep worrying about the reception I would get when I drove the VG into their shop. Okay, losing sleep sounds a bit harsh. I had mild concern. I had envisioned one of these scenarios:

1. "THAT"S NOT A DART! GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT THING!"

2. "Wow, that's odd. You know that isn't really a 1969 Dart. We can't guarantee that this windshield will fit (and you've bought it regardless), and if it fits, we can't warrant it."

3. "Wow that's odd. It looks like this windshield will fit, but tell us more about this most unusual car."












What really happened:

4. "Okay, we'll put your other stainless on. We should be done in about 90 minutes."


Having not been born in 1969, both guys probably thought ALL 1969 Darts said "Valiant" on the trunk and sported RH drive.


Down to just a blue car now.

I would have been surprised if he even noticed where the steering wheel was in the first place.


(And double cool points for no more screws in the moldings. )

Well, I left it in their shop around back. When I came back to get it, it was parked out front. I would think it got someone's attention...

The front office gal said she fielded numerous questions from passersby about it during the 30 minutes it took for me to go back and get it.



The FAQ will need to be updated:

Is it legal to drive a right-hand drive car here?

Completely legal. Driving with a huge crack in the windshield – not so much…








(Cross-thread note: there were St Pat's photos in my camera when I took the windshield shot.)

Speaking of which...Nothing like watching a CHP follow right behind while Peter was driving a Corvette we just had bought with 2010 registration tags on it, and the cop not even paying attenion/caring and after following for 3 or 4 miles, just pass him and keep going.

All though, driving a 1985 Suburban with a cracked one is just fine....or so it would seem. Maybe they knew it was destined for the and let it slide.

(with tags expired by a year as well. )

Did you ask for the crayons, or did she bring them over as soon as she saw you?


Or maybe she just had the shine that you were a NoJeffs founding member.

She said you left them there, she drew a picture of you, saw the tip you left and agreed with me on NoJeffs.

Or maybe she just had the shine that you were a NoJeffs founding member.




Either way we recruited a few more members tonight!
