Friend of mine sent me this in an email.......

Never underestimate the intelligence of an IOWA Farm Boy:



At a high school in Iowa, a group of farm boys played a prank. They
let three goats loose inside the school. But before turning them
loose, they painted numbers on the sides of the goats: 1, 2 and 4.
School Administrators spent most of the day looking for No. 3. Now
that's funny, I don't care who you are..... And you thought there was
nothing to do in Iowa!

Good evening. What did we miss? Finished up the Eckler's Chevy Classics Winter Nationals. Crazy weekend. 1000 pt judging. Was given the job of judging the Camaros. Best of Show Best Paint. Had 3 Z28's that were completely tied in Trailer Class Original/Restored. Bad when you can't find a paint chip/ flaw with even a magnifying glass to break the tie. Chief Judge said no ties. Nothing like putting you on the spot. "That's why you get paid the big bucks"(Free Hat Tshirt and Plaque )

Ladybug is a garage queen, only out on lovely days, so many people haven't seen her. My stepson was telling a buddy of his that I had a Camaro, and the kid didn't believe him - until the school bus stopped at our house while the garage door was opened.
13 year olds seem to be REALLY impressed with Camaros - still kid enough to like them for the Transformer thing, but starting to get old enough to appreciate the car itself...

We took our Camaro Convertible down to Florida in November to visit my wife's sister. I took my 13 yr old nephew for a ride and his comment was this is a sweet car I bet you can pick up a lot of girls in it. I laughed and told him maybe but I was happy with his aunt Jackie and she might get mad if I used her car to pick up other girls

Which Green? I gave it to the 2nd Gen at top. It won because the other two's shims were not properly coated and had to notice it. Hated to do that It sux. Should have been three way tie imho.
By the way this Red Z28 won Best Street Driven Original Paint. The Orange Camaro won Best Trailer Custom/ Modified and the Black one won Best Street Driven Custom/ Modified Paint

WOW

[SSBUSDRVR]

If you are 36, or older, you might think this is hilarious!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning....Uphill... Barefoot...BOTH ways...yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to laya bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had itand how easy they've got it!



But now that I'm over the ripe old age of forty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it!

1) I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!

2) There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen!Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!

3) Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe!

4) There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself!

5) Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished, and then the tape would come undone rendering it useless. Cause, hey, that's how we rolled, Baby! Dig?

6) We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it!

7) There weren't any freakin' cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn't make a damn call or receive one. You actually had to be out of touch with your "friends". OH MY GOSH!!! Think of the horror... not being in touch with someone 24/7!!! And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right. Please! You kids have no idea how annoying you are.

8) And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, the collection agent... you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

9) We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! Wehad the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen.. Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

10) You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! Oh, no, what's the world coming to?!?!

11) There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEKfor cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!

12) And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! Imagine that!




13) And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. Oh, no, no electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores!




And car seats - oh, please! Mom threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were lucky, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place!




See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1970or any time before!

Regards,
The Over 40 Crowd
