Helen: I miss my grandkids

Nurse Cuomo: STFU Helen or your next Meals-On-Wheels is a knuckle sandwich
Just spitballing here, but maybe we should stop electing faux tough talk New York blowhards
coming from Mike Tyson, "everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" is Confucian wisdom; coming from a politician, it's just sad af
note that unlike Cuomo, Mike Tyson was humble enough to phrase it as "until *they* get punched in the face," not "until *I* punch them in the face"

Cable news networks in the post-Trump era are going to be like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane
You don't think I remember anything, do you? There are a whole lot of things I remember. And you never paid for this house. Baby Jane Blitzer made the money that paid for this house, that's who! Image
EXT decrepit Victorian mansion on hill. Camera pans rusty cobwebbed gate with tarnished sign reading "Chyron Manor." Gate opens creakily, camera approaches up the driveway past abandoned antique satellite vans, to the mansion's single illuminated window.

Today's bang-up edition of #DavesCarIDService is brought to you by Kenner SSP Smashup Derby!

Yes kids, in the Wild West of 1970s danger toys, nobody catered to young America's love of car crashes like Kenner. Just rip the T-strip and enjoy the laws of physics! (Until you ruin Mom's nice linoleum or accidentally get your sister's hair caught in the gyro wheel)
What kind of HOA *stops* you from removing a junk car from your property? Sign me up! Contrary to your conjecture, this noble relic appears to be a 1927-28 Nash Standard 6 sedan.

This is of course Humphrey Bogart as gumshoe Philip Marlowe in The Big Sleep (1946), and car is a 1938 Plymouth Deluxe coupe; "B" sticker is a WW2 gas ration stamp.

Before commencing today's IDs, another gentle reminder to please follow the car ID request guidelines: Image
Let's kickoff today's batch with this terrific shot; car here is a 1932 Buick. Lake Geneva was a popular hot weather getaway spot for high roller Chicago swells and mobsters, including Al Capone who owned a spot there about the time of this photo.

Now that Melvin Capital is wiped out, it's time for Wall Street Bets to take on the Big 5:

Swirly Partners
Dutch Rub Ventures
Wedgie Capital
Wet Willie Associates
Noogie Asset Management
Most of all, it's time to finally crush Rampit Capital and Allegra Budenmayer, who I've been warning you about for over 2 years. #DestroyRampit

The finest automobile ever created, a 1932 Ford coupe (a/k/a Little Deuce Coupe). Right hand steering, fender marker lights, and license plate suggest photo was somewhere in the UK (hat tip @MichaelBarger1) #DavesCarIDService

*people debate what was the first muscle car, and IMO it was the 1932 Ford. Smallish, low price car with hot engine, it was the first mass produced V8 and affordable to the average Joe. Today it remains the most desirable base platform for hot rodding.
other candidates for title of First Muscle Car:

49 Oldsmobile Rocket 88
55 Chrysler 300
61 Chevy Impala SS
64 Pontiac GTO

Most people say SS or GTO because of the deliberate high performance package branding strategy.
