That's a beautiful dog you've got. I've never seen a white German Shepherd.

The car is a beauty, and good job on cleaning it up so far.  I rather admire people who do their own work on cars.

:nod: Shattered it. It's held together with glue, and held in place with tie-straps. :p Jiggles when I hit a bump...

In the first pic? Yes... the Hudson valley in spring time.  That's actuallythe highway department's gravel yard :p But the weeds that grow in front of it hide that nice enough. This area is very crowded... and very mountainous. That's why you see so many cars parked along the street. No driveways because of the slope/grade of the terrain. Hopefully we'll be moving from here soon, to some place where I'll have a garage to store this beauty. :)

[color=cc9900]The exhaust reminds me of what the previous owner of my sister's VW Polo Mk3 did to the exhaust on the poor thing - to make it look larger, they had a fake plastic thingummy stuck on the end. It wiggled off easily, thankfully. They also painted some lovely original hubcaps black and stuck fake plastic ones of those on too. Ugh.

By far the funniest things on it though were the rear speakers. The parcel shelf had holes cut in it, into which were fitted new units - however, these new units were wired up with hi-fi signal cable (the really heavily shielded stuff). Along with a bass speaker, which had been removed before we bought the car. All this meaning that there were three high-drain units, connected to the amp with around three strands of copper each. It's a miracle they didn't just start an impromptu campfire.[/color]

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Ehrm, it's a "certified real german shepard"? I mean, it's white... :wtf:

Concerning the car : looks good. Though I'm not a fan of those sports-like cars. You sure spent some hours polishing it, eh? :D

American Kennel Certified Pure Bred German Shepard.  It's rare to get white ones, but they're out there.


And yes... Polished it for about 2 hours the night before.  Some day I'll start snapping more pics. Maybe with the Bear Mountain Bridge at night in the background next time.

Yea, my friend has one. They are some of the most beautiful albeit protective dogs I know. They will protect their owner at all costs. Kinda neat because I have seen it in action before with another dog. My friend got his in New Mexico or Colorodo (cant remember which), what about you?

not on all cars, maybe on those little 4 bangers, but then again, those engines they had trouble implementing an A/C compressor into because of the drag it put on the engine :blah:

looks good though :D

Interesting. You won't see one of those here in Germany - the German Shepard Association has very doubtful breeding standards, which often result in dogs having malformations.

On topic : you don't want to come over and polish my car, do you? :D

I read 4 wheel drive can suck up to 40% of the engine output too.
