Kim Mitchell is uglier than that. Love his guitar playing and writing, but he is ugly. Same goes for Geddy Lee (except bass/synth playing), and I like his unique voice. He's just ugly, rhough, even if I am a huge Rush fan.

Truck we had at the shop a couple days ago. Came in to get the brakes working (master cyl needed rebuilt). It's a 1950 Dodge. The owner of a body shop in town is restoring it. He's going to use it to tow his other truck to shows. I think,,,,,,,,the other one is a '47 or '48(?). Older body style. He's going to paint the tow truck to match and letter it with "1 Hour Towing". Why? His regular modern tow trucks all say "23 hour towing". Why only 23 and not 24 hr? I guess the insurance premiums to have actual 24 hour towing are almost triple vs having 23 hour towing. One of the other body shops in town has "23 1/2 Hour Towing", lol.

If this tow truck turns out half as nice as his '48, it'll be awesome. The other truck is absolutely PERFECT. He's an excellent body/paint guy and so are the other 2 guys that work for him. They can darn near take a car that hit a wall at 60 mph and then flipped end over end 10 times and repair it like new and no matter how close you look at any part of the vehicle (outside, underside, anywhere), you'd never know it's ever had so much as a door ding.

Saw this last night when going to pick up my mail (because Canada Post is unable to deliver mail that they have been paid to do so).

From the early 1970s, in the large economy size sedan class:

Sail panel says Newport Custom, if think it is early-mid 1970s. Some rust visible on the bottoms of the doors and the rocker panels. Still has a regular license plate (not a collector plate), so somebody is driving it regularly.

Just playing around trying out the new site but I'm hoping to be able to see this dippy in a week or two. Supposedly a two owner southern car that looks good in the pictures and sounds pretty nice after talking with the guy.

Once saw a Max Webster/Kim Mitchell cover band.
The singer was 'dead nuts' to Kim, but when the hat came off, he had hair.
Then talking to him, I guess his Halloween's are real easy.

I've met the real Kim a few times at SOCAN events (Canada's version of BMI/ASCAP). He's a great guy.

Ran into this near the superbox today. In a distance of about 200 feet, there is the Newport Custom (that I posted above), and now this:

1979 Chrysler 300. Car has been modified some (rear spoiler, hood pins), and needs some work (front bumper is not sitting properly in the front; front bucket seats have seat covers, which may mean leather is split, a careful owner not wanting to damage the leather, or that the owner doesn't like leather in hot or cold weather, rear seat leather is in great shape). Car has T-Tops, wheels are non-factory, and not to my taste, but its not my car.

Car is a daily driver in that it has regular plates (vs. collector plates), so I am going to assume it is being driven regularly.
