Those are some really nice looking dogs. We have our Lab and have been looking at getting a GSD but I really want to spend some heavy cash and get one that has really good German pedigree and a strong prey drive. I want to have a trainer get it up to speed as far as advanced training so I can count on him 100% for off leash commands. Yours is really a good looking dog.

Yeah, they have no sense of size. Both of ours dominate one of the couches and will let Sandra sit there with them but I take up too much room.

A few years ago when the new stadium was announced it broke my heart to hear that the Baron's were moving from the Hoover Met to the downtown Birmingham venue.

Oh man, was I wrong........waaaay beyond wrong actually.

What a fantastic stadium. Minor league ball in a Regions Field type setting is the best baseball there is.

Thanks,

That's one of the things I like about the '66 first year OHC.
It was Pontiac's First production use of the Q-J 4MV;

Jeff, what is that arm running from approximately 10 o'clock to 1 o'clock across the secondary air flap? I don't recall ever seeing that on a qjet.

The OHC Q-J is a unique carb;

There have been some very nice pictures posted in this thread. Without taking anything away from those previously posted, I have to say I really like this picture! You have captured a little bit of everything I appreciate in one moment. Good job!

Some pictures I took with my cellphone a few years ago when a couple of buddies and I went to a by appointment only salvage yard in Kansas.

Dennis, you should have grabbed that visor off the Chevy in back in the first photo. That's a rare piece and could fetch some good money.
