Car sales are meh right now. So, what do we all look like?

Here’s me. Sorry if it breaks your computer screen.

This was post 21 mile bike ride.

I like to maintain some pretense of anonymity around here, but I don’t think this can hurt anything but your brain.

Feel free to say anything you like.

My work was having some system issues so the most productive thing I did today was booking my haircut for tomorrow and then eating lunch.

I like to float around inside a mysteriously obscure dark orb and frighten lonely people who no one will believe. Just my thing.

I get the impression that everyone thought I was some sort of middle aged grade school teacher from my writing style, yet in reality I am a mysterious orb floating in the ether who lives to terrorize lonely farmers and conspiracy theorists.

Yes, I think the monochromatic clothing and mask (I approve) combined with an apparently disheveled hair and strangely peering expression shows a different side of you. A more carefree side, maybe, but not your usual side.

What really threw me were the soulful blue-green eyes.

I have a feeling the factory warranty would not cover  that. It's actually more typical for an over engineered German car. The sport mode exhaust flap is jammed, so they have to replace the cat back with a new unit. I'm sitting at the dealer twiddling my thumbs now.

Yeah, clever engineering without designing it to be repairable. The latter part is a key difference I’ve noticed moving from a Japanese to German car.

I’m sorry, did you ski UP the mountain? Because I’m pretty sure that’s a lot more effort than is intended by the skiing sport. 

Highlander-Datsuns are Forever > Hooker 07/31/2020 at 15:52

Yes, skin it to win it. This is probably 1-2 weeks after the resort closed due to covid. Crazy, had one of the best pow days in April, knee deep on these super surfy atomic skis that I use for AT.

Hooker > Highlander-Datsuns are Forever 07/31/2020 at 15:54

So, what you’re saying is you’re in incredibly good shape! Haha. That honestly sounds fun! And here I thought my bike rides were challenging!

It was a DD for several years when I was younger, but once I was finished with school, it became a sunny day driver, mostly weekend use.  I’ve had the car since I was 18, it is a bit of a sentimental item now.

If you’re in the Seattle area, it could happen :)

Highlander-Datsuns are Forever > Hooker 07/31/2020 at 16:03

I can do one lap without dying. It’s about 1-1.5 hour climb with 3.5 mile, 2,300 vertical climbing. Then a 5 minute ski down...

For some reason I pictured you as being older than you look.  And with more blood alcohol poisoning.

Y es, that’s taking my time too. When we ski with the lift I can do the 2 or so miles down the front in the 3-4 minute range, cruising at 30-40 mph.

Hooker > Highlander-Datsuns are Forever 07/31/2020 at 17:00

I think I would be terrified. Though, down hill pedaling my ass off, I have maxed out at 40 mph before. I was scared but it didn’t stop me from doing it again.

Highlander-Datsuns are Forever > Hooker 07/31/2020 at 17:07

Skiing is a lot different that riding a bike down hill. There is no comparison. You have much more control on skis on smooth snow than on a road or trail. DH ski racers hit 70-80 mph routinely on skis. I can hit 60-70 on one run if the snow is right and I tuck it. At least that is what my gps says. If I stand up it feels like I ’m going to get blown over backwards.

Still perhaps not what I expected.

The image you project is confident and artistic, I’d say, from w ell articulated and carefully thought out responses. Very detail oriented.  Somehow y our first picture seems more like the Oppo you than the second one.

Just curious, what sort of person would you suppose I am based on my responses here?

Old cars age better here!  And thanks - unrestored photogenic car, the color and my mild clean car OCD helps, I think.

My family has old fire trucks (not sure if you’ve seen. The latest is a 1966 Crown Firecoach and It’s becoming one of my passions. Fast. It is originally from the left coast and is remarkably well preserved. However, in desperate need of a paint job! No rust! We are in NC here.

My interest has been piqued. I wonder if my knees would tolerate skiing? Hmm. Haha. I am going to Colorado at some point in my life and may attempt a lesson or two.

Highlander-Datsuns are Forever > Hooker 07/31/2020 at 18:01

Please take a lesson, that will make your skiing much more enjoyable. I take it for granted I’ve been skiing since a child so all of the balance and moves are second nature to me but if you have never been on skis it can go downhill quickly. 

fintail > Hooker 07/31/2020 at 19:48

Oh yeah I remember that. I see similar material on marketplace or CL now and then here, as it also survives. Fun stuff, and a lot of machinery for the money. I remember when I was a little kid (mid 80s maybe), the neighbor of my grandparents had an old fire truck, not sure what it was, but it appeared to be from the 20s. I recall being able to climb on it once.

Rust is rare on vehicles native to the area - little to no road salt, mild weather, not much harsh sun - 80s material is an everyday sight on the road here, and older stuff not too rare either.  Maybe like NC without the humidity.

Ha! I’ve never been called artistic before.

I think based on your commenting/posts you seem like a good natured and  humorous person.  Young(er) than me, but not by much!

Okay, maybe I am a little off there.

Yup, you are pretty spot on. I start college on campus in a little over a week and I am excited. Though I am more excited to finally have a little time to do whatever I feel like, whether that be nothing, nothing, or something.
