I think that he built two 1966 427 Cobras with twin turbochargers and automatics. He gave one of them to Bill Cosby which he made the album 200MPH about. Great man. RIP.

Prayers to Jim and a speedy and easy recovery!!

Wow! Has this discussion expanded since I first saw it last night. I'd like to make a point or two if I may. I have detected some heat from both sides of this and I just had to comment. Those of us that do believe in God won't easily be convinced that He didn't create the universe and everything in it, including man. Those that don't believe in a supreme being can't have the same opinion since they don't believe in God to begin with. That is their right. It has been my observation in the last 47yrs on this rock that most (not all) conservatives (this is supposed to be a conservative place isn't it?) are usually gracious, diplomatic and courteous. Most liberals (not all) are not. The fact remains that neither side can prove that they are right for a solid fact. The God fearing are going by what is in our most precious book, the Bible. Our book has been corroborated by many archaeological digs in many respects, but anything that hasn't been proven is still just speculation. On the other hand, the Darwinists have the same problem in that they can't prove that they are right and their beliefs are also just speculation. None of us know our thoughts to be pure fact! In that light, should any of this really be taught in our schools science classes if it is just speculation and not proven fact? And if it is, why not discuss both sides of the topic? I would think that it belongs more in a class of philosophy and even then, both sides should be observed. This reeks of the modern liberal programming that most students must endure in our schools. Most of the kids that I see coming out of school can't even spell or use basic math skills without the aid of a machine, but they sure can spew liberal rhetoric! Since both sides are so solid in their convictions, it really boils down to, like Mr. Liddy always says: “We'll just have to agree to disagree”.

Do you remember the opening scene? When he complains of the year long heat wave due to “global warming”! That was back in ‘73.

Two years ago I went to the Davis Mountains to visit the McDonald Observatory and I couldn't believe that, being that close to the SW border, I didn't hear a single word of their Hispanic banter! In Texas?? I want to move there now!

“Bigger Vick” has nothing to do with it. My own observations after having owned one for 13+ yrs is that they are intelligent, loving dogs if raised right. She was housebroken almost immediately and never caused any problems at all in all of those years.

I believe that his dog was a Bedlington Terrier. Personally, I’d much rather have a Pit Bull Terrier.

Another Ditto!! The best dog I ever had! Aggressively loving is a good way of putting it and also the most intelligent dog I’ve ever seen. Wouldn’t hurt anybody unless you laid a hand on myself or my Mother (who fed her people breakfast every morning of her 13 1/2yr life, usually oatmeal). It’s all in how they are raised. You can make them vicious or a loving member of the family. They get a bad rap because they are so good at either one. If I ever get another dog, I want another Pit Bull Terrier!
