The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - Ben Franklin
Oh the cops have been out a few times but as I said he has mental issues and since he is not a danger to anyone or himself their is nothing they can do.
Tough women come from New York, sweet women from Texas, prissy women from Southern California, but we NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMEN have fire & ice in our blood. We can ride 4-wheelers, be a princess, throw a left hook, pack heat, hunt with the men, bake a cake, love with passion, and if we have an opinion, you know you're going to hear it!! We had a frost night before. Last night didn't get as cold. Upper 40s right now. Expecting rain today. Not sure how low the snow level will go but it rarely gets down to the valley floor.

A fun thread to re-read. We do love our rides here. None of that wussie mass-transit stuff for us.

I had a Pontiac Tempest with the slant six. I wish I still had it.
"If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption, indifferent and incapable of a wholesome care over so wide a spread of surface. This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reform and revolution. If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable." - Thomas Jefferson
Ha! remember the Pontiac logo???? The Tempest reminds me of the Olds 442. What a beast.

He's harmless. His nudity doesn't bother me as much as the barking rat next door or the methhead on the other side of me.

People who we want to see naked never seem to do things like that. I've been out that way, no thanks. California has its faults but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Oh me either. I'm about as far south as I'll get. With the exception of 3.5 years in Santa Barbara, I've always lived in the north state.

LOL well it was when I was raising my kids. Now?

Slant 6 was a Chrysler motor never offered in Pontiacs. GM had an inline 6, but it was upright.

What the hell are you talking about, Eric? 4-4-2 meant 4-barrel, 4-speed, and dual exhaust. Until '66, when it meant 400c.i., 4-barrel, and still the dual exhausts. :)

I'd like to get rid of the meth head first and a little rat poison over fence will take care of the barking.

Hey, hick! I thought you was dead. Or in Arizona shootin' up politicians or sumpthin'. :P
Fair enough, I just feel compelled to interject factual stuff as it occurs to me.

I had to go to Arizona on business like 20 years ago, early 90's. I was entranced by all the Ford Mavericks left driving around without any rust. Almost wrote an opera!

4-4-2 was an option package on the Oldsmobile F-85/Cutlass. It was not a specific engine.

442 - Four barrel carb, four speed tranny, dual exhaust.

Mom & Dad had matching '66 Oldsmobiles. Mom's was a Vista Cruiser wagon with the windows in the roof, 330ci V8, 2 speed powerslide tranny, AM radio, maroon. Dad's was a Cutlass sedan, 330ci ultra- high compression motor, crazy high, something like 16-to-1, can't remember exactly. Neither car had A/C, Dad took 'em to the radiator shop and had that aftemarket A/C put in that hung under the dash. Mom wrecked the wagon in '75 on the ice, Dad took his to the grave in April '76.
I forget which is which, but Olds had two Hi-Po code engines back then, W-30 and W-31. I think the W30 was the heavy-duty police package (anyone ever seen an Oldsmobile police car? Me either!) and the W-31 was almost a full-on racing engine. Olds and Chevrolet were at a major disadvantage in '64 when DeLorean and Wangers at Pontiac sneaked the GTO onto the showrooms. 330 was supposed to be the maximum engine size allowed in that platform.

No doubt, but don't you have any indecency laws there?

I was imagining the weather just looking at it as we're expecting snow. LOL

Find out the laws and insist that they do their jobs. I guarantee you that if a man were to take a piss in an alley somewhere they'd threaten sexual indecency.

Either way he ends up standing out by the sidewalk completely naked. He weighs a good 300#. It is just wrong in soooo many ways.
The guy should move to Vermont, I dont think they care about nudity.
Or South Florida, the "nudist capital" of the country. Plenty of nudest coloneys and resorts.

I'll take my area with the snow and cold and all.

Yeah, that 442 was a real beast. When I realized it was really a 442 engine I thought it was even cooler at the time.

Indeed. Well maybe the fat guy will suffer from angina and die. If you see cranes pulling in, ...

got into an discussion about it with someone years ago who insisted that yes, it was a 442 engine. Didn't make sense to me, but again, same as now, I figured I didn't know, so he probably did.

It may have been a 455.
Someone had told me long ago, upon my asking, that it was in fact a 442 engine.

LOL that's what I should be taking. Doctor has me taking aspirin which is causing me to lose my hearing. Sigh. I guess that's better than blood clots.
Make sure it's FDA approved rat poison first.
