This was the worst one. It's got a couple big chips in it but I couldn't get a good picture of it.

Definitely less sharp than they were 3 1/2 hours ago but still pretty sharp.

I mowed a LOT of rock, which is why I did this experiment the regular blades just don't hold up to it.

I'll do another update in a year.

Better late than never...I guess. It'll only have taken six days to travel the equivalent of 4 hours on the road.

I can beat that. I ordered two movies from Barnes and Noble. I'm no geography expert, but I have a feeling that it's not going to arrive today in CT.

Remember reading that the typical blade of grass is more abrasive than a similar "blade" of copper.

Well, to be fair, it was built on Ford’s station wagon platform the first few years, and they were pretty damn ugly. After that they downsized it and used the Falcon platform for a while and it didn’t look much better.

Not sure what model Chevy used as the platform for the El Camino in the beginning but they were playing catch up at the time and neither one was what you might call sexy. Later on I’d go with the El Camino as well based on design and looks, but they were both pretty fugly early on.

Late 50s Ranchero was pretty cool, but overall I'd go El Camino. Chevelle platform in the late 60s and early 70s, and then the Monte Carlo platform in the 80s...world's better than the Ranchero, especially the LS6 SS versions.

Like a lot of vehicles the American manufacturers paved the way but the Japanese perfected it:

Back in high school I worked for a local home improvement store chain over one summer. One day had to go to the headquarters with this guy that had a Brat. Had a huge amp and equalizer zip-tied to the steering column and had to spread his legs around them. Hadn't thought of that for years!

I lived in South Dakota for a while. I can't tell you how many to. Es I heard people say, in all seriousness, "Oh, you think it's flat here, you should see North Dakota."

Flat is flat, just maybe a different color.
