Looks at Zillow estimate on house: holy shit I'm rich!

Looks at prices of everything else: holy shit I'm poor!
On the upside, if we have another pandemic at least we won't have to worry about another toilet paper shortage
go home Zillow, you're drunk
sure, I guess I'd be happy if the price of my doublewide jumped $782k in one year, but I'm thinking there may be some unintended consequences
If the value of my doublewide keep going up at the same *percentage* rate it has the last 30, it'll gain another $1.3 million in the next year.

Also, if that happens, sane people will all switch to Dogecoin and dollars will only be used as fuel at the hobo camps
don't worry kids, maybe you'll never be able to afford a house, but who knows? Maybe your TikTok stimmy check dance will go viral
This is what economists technically call batshit insane
me: hey there's a dead body in the middle of the room

you: HOW DO KNOW BOB GUNDERSON KILLED HIM WITH A TIRE IRON AT 11:45 PM? HUH? HUH? EXPLAIN THAT, SMART GUY

Lemme see if I can explain this to lil' Timmee. See, Timmee, when Republicans and Democrats love their voters very, very much, they have a big fight over who gets to splooge them with their trillion dollar stimulation wangs, and this is where baby inflation comes from
once again, I pray that none of you will ever be retweeted by Ben Shapiro and experience the cavalcade of lunatics that follow in the wake

Happy Mother's Day from #DavesCarIDService!*

*let me get this out of the way, right up front: please, I am begging you, for the love of comedy, take your all your "birthing person" jokes to some other tweet thread

Yes kids, long before KITT there was My Mother The Car, with Jerry Van Dyke and Ann Southern voicing his mom, reinCARnated as a "1928 Porter."

Even in a sitcom landscape of talking horses and flying nuns and Martian uncles, it proved a premise too far and was quickly canceled. Image
But the car ID stickler in me is compelled to note Mom is NOT a 1928 Porter; she is a 1923 Ford Model T touring, originally built as a 283 Chevy powered hot rod by my late great pal Norm Grabowski- who also built the iconic "Kookie T" for 77 Sunset Strip. ImageImage

It was Saturday morning and my partner and I were working cold cases from the LAPD unknown vehicle division.

My name is Burge. And I ID cars. #DavesCarIDService Image
*Friday and Gannon, of course, gathered just-the-facts-ma'am in a just-the-facts-ma'am 1967 Ford Fairlane 500 sedan; tailgating them in the photo is a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado. Image
Before delving into today's casefiles, another reminder to please adhere to the guidelines: Image

Today's episode of #DavesCarIDService salutes Dashboards With Dash:

1. 1958 Edsel
2. 1959 Pontiac
3. 1960 Imperial
4. 1961 Chrysler 300G ImageImageImageImage
I'm a sucker for a fine dashboard & they are often a vital clue when I ID a junkpile car. The period 1958-62 was the absolute apex of the dashboard arts, providing the American motorist an over-the-top Googie cockpit worthy of a UFO. Sadly we will never see their likes again.
Before getting to today's batch of IDs, here are the guidelines for any newcomers with a mystery car to solve: Image

The clown is ready to take your order at #DavesCarIDService Image
*
car in front of us is a 1963 Chrysler New Yorker wagon.

Quick history of drive-in/-thru restaurants: the 1st drive-*in* is generally accepted as Kirby's Pig Stand in Dallas (1921); 1st drive-*thru* Red's Giant Hamburg, Route 66 Springfield Missouri. ImageImage
*Red's drive-thru opened 1947, BTW. The longest running drive thru is In-N-Out, opening 1948. The first drive-thru *only* restaurant was the first Jack-In-The-Box, in San Diego, 1951. McDonalds was somewhat a laggard, never having a drive thru until 1975. ImageImage
