So every Thursday there's a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I spot on my way home. I've been trying to go, but for one reason or another, I keep forgetting. So I finally went to it last Thursday, hooray! Pics included!
The owner of this Pontiac offer my wife a chance to sit in the car so I could take pictures of her. Since she's incredibly timid, she said no. Still a nice car. It was originally orange.
The car below had an interesting story. The guy bought the car in '01, and restored it by '07. In '08 the car was in a collision which really messed up the front half. Instead of scrapping it, he fixed it up again. Hat's off to the guy.
Those two guys were talking with the owner about if the car should be painted or not. I couldn't resist and piped in "it's perfect the way it is, don't change it." It looks amazing.
This Plymouth was my most favorite car of the show. That patina is outstanding. The inside looks like it has been DD.
People, what is this car? It looks so familiar, but I can't put my finger on it...
Edit: its a Austin Healey. Thanks !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Neat! Where are you at in Mich again? Seems like a worthy trip to me. Also Gundam related questions for you.

This thing was in Fowlerville, I'm in the next town over, Howell.
Also, possibly gundam-themed answers for you, :).

Okay, Gundam questions are as follows.
1. Ever happened what happened to the Unicorns during the period between then and Victory? This is bothering me quite a lot.
2. Why'd they have to blow up the Gundams on earth at the end of Endless Waltz? We've seen that they can be rebuilt after such destruction, what will prevent them from being built again?
3. Why the hell, does Cagalli have a "seed mode" at certain points in Gundam Seed? She's a Natural!
4. Also, do some of the female Characters in Seed/Destiny bother you a bit?
5. Notice the huge role women have in the Universal Century? As in, most problems are caused by them? i.e. Lalah's death
6. Could you explain this to me, one more time?

Great show. Nice dump. Thanks. Ex-neighbor had a AH 3000. Looks very, very similar. So I agree.

Had to research some of theses...
1. It's hard to say what happened to Unicorn. It's the newest gundam on the block, and normally the different series tend to not say what happens afterwards to the gundams. Probably a manga will retcon it.
2. Nothing is stopping them. New gundamium alloy can always be mined. They did it as a show. Plus, mankind will always have war.
3. http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/SEED_fact…
4. Do you mean looks or personality? The looks bothered me. It isn't natural for a woman to have breasts the size of melons while having such a thin waist.
5. The U.C. Is a product of another time, and of another country. Not sure how woman were viewed in that time period in Japan...I should ask Kat about that.
6. Hmm, I haven't seen the last episode of Unicorn yet. It seems the NT system is going overboard though.
Any other Q's? :)

Well most Gundams are either destroyed or abandoned by the end of the series. Since you haven't watched Ep. 7 yet, I won't spoil it; unless you've already read the novels?
That being said, there really was no logical reason to blow up the Gundams then huh. I reckon it was more of a symbolic message or something.
I meant personality wise. I have nothing against Lunamaria and Meyrin, but I hate Lacus and Cagalli; the Relenas of Seed. Preach peace and no violence, quick! Send Kira out to blow shit up with much FREEDOM! 'Murica Yeehaw! I have no problem with their looks though... :P
But every character kinda does have the same face. -_-
I hope I didn't spoil Ep. 7 for you. I'm sorry, I should have mentioned a spoiler alert. :(
Oh. I've got a good one for you.
What are your thoughts on the Kira vs Shin battle where Freedom blows up?
I call BS on the whole thing!

You ruined nothing, I just haven't had time to watch it yet. If anything, it's a teaser, :p.
Most gundams are military machines, thus the blue prints should be somewhere. So yes, blowing them up is symbolic...until someone has to rebuild them....
Peace isn't a bad thing though. It's thrown in there as a message to the kids. Unfortunately, to have peace both sides most be willing. And peaceful countries must also have a military, of not just for defense. The relenas are horrible role models because of their love interest. They love war torn soliders , who kill. It's like a bad Romeo and Juliet story.
I had to research that part of the episode. In the original MS Gundam, the suits were powered by nuclear reactors, which is why in the vid games you'll get hurt if it was too close. Not sure about seed destiny though.
The explosion was big, massive even. Freedom does have a beam rifle, two wing cannons, and two rail guns on its skirt. That will draw a lot of energy on its own. Plus flying around, and firing near non-stop, it needs something powerful to power it. That being said, that explosion was not proportionate.
Where Shins sword was, is where the I'm betting the power source was. Which could possible create a big explosion, but still, it's too big in the episode.
I though it was really weird that, with that big of an explosion, and how violent it looked, that shin's gundam came out with the damage it did. If freedom was that badly damaged, most of the impulse should be gone.
I think too much, :p. Another? Lol.

Here's my strange fun fact. Ever notice how similar Nu Gundam and 00 Quanta are? And how the endings to Char's Counter Attack and the 00 Movie mirror one another slightly?

....rats, you put me in a possible 'spoiler' position, :p. I won't say anymore unless you ask me too, lol.
I will say that it is probably a homage to its roots. And that innovators and newtypes could possibly be linked together.
My mouth is zipped up unless you must know more, lol.

* spoiler alert *
Turn A Gundam, episide 43 [ http://www.nwanime.com/turn-a-gundam-… ]. Watch from the 16 minute mark onwards.
Tl:dr - all the different gundam universes are different eras in the same universe. Each time a civilization gets far , the Turn A comes and wipes out all technology , forcing man to start from scratch. If that is true, the innovators and newtypes may very well be one in the same, just a different 'branch' of human evolution. Though Turn A was made just before seed, and 00 was made after that. So it wasn't accounted for.
Of course, this whole theory puts gundam x in an awkward situation. X is an alternate story of what happens if in the original gundam series there were multiple colony drops. You can't wipe our all technology and expect it to repeat exactly The same, the chances are slim. But it does explain everything else.
The best part, it's all canon, :).

I have a response to this, but here's that thing I was talking about!
Saved those three from certain doom because my basement began to flood a bit right where I left them.

Flood from the rain? Yikes. My parents basement has flooded...twice. First time was from the washer. Second was from the toilet, that's when we started chucking things. It was the reason my mom decided to throw away our pool table that came with the house. I'm glad you saved those guys!
Were those guys your response, or is there something else?
