Professional Diver David Boudia needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.

David Boudia should be banned from playing icky, yucky Basketball; icky, yucky Football; and icky, yucky Soccer.

Maybe David Boudia should be transported on a School Bus or in a Full-Size station wagon and be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz; and Easy Listening music.

Talk about ruining a T1 Transporter/Microbus just for stupid Nike shoes and apparel. Ugly athletic clothing, that is.

Maybe David Boudia should realize just how much more important buses are than Swimming & Diving.

And David Boudia should also realize just how much more important vans such as the Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen LT, Volkswagen Transporter/Microbus/Vanagon/EuroVan, Renault Trafic, Mercedes-Benz Vito/Viano/V-Class/Metris, Fiat Ducato, Iveco Daily; and my Subaru-based competitor to the Transporter, Trafic, and Vito/Viano/Metris (see post https://mparij.wordpress.com/2015/12/17/an-opelholdenvauxhallsubaru-van-on-the-legacyoutback-platform/) all are than Swimming & Diving.

David Boudia should never be allowed to dress to the nines.

Actor and philosopher Chris Bashinelli is not my cup of tea.

I would closely examine Chris Bashinelli’s head to ensure that his hair grows back.

Chris Bashinelli also needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.

Chris Bashinelli should never be allowed to dress to the nines.

I do not like Chris Bashinelli’s style of philosophy.

A Rear Engine Safe-T-Liner that in a School District in Ohio had purchased used in Florida and had driven north from Florida to Ohio to use as a spare bus.

As expected from a Southern or Western vehicle that had never spent it’s life in the snow belt, there isn’t any rust on the body, on the frame, or on the mechanicals such as the brakes, suspension, steering componentry; and the transmission.

A 1963 Lincoln Continental that was purchased new by a wealthy Pakistani and was shipped out to Pakistan upon delivery in the United States.

Also includes the original documentation for the vehicle, and the earliest form of a vehicle warranty-available only on a luxury car such as a Cadillac or a Lincoln as of this time.

A 1962 model that had also been personally exported to Pakistan:

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that I am highly fond of Full-Size body-on-frame passenger cars.

An ad from 1988 for Budget Rent-A-Car for a deal on a rental for a Town Car and a rental for my favorite style of cellular telephone-the brick style.

PBS television program MotorWeek’s review for my 2nd favorite generation Town Car-the one that came after the one pictured above (my most favorite) that was produced from 1991-1997. The one that MotorWeek tested had one of my favorite colors of automotive interior-Red. It also had cloth seating, a rarity for this generation.

A Class 3 Single-Rear-Wheel Ford pickup like what we could buy alongside a Fifth-Wheel in the mid-1990’s in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood” parked somewhere in Homosassa, Florida.

This one also has the center-band two-tone paint job that we would get on our truck. And this one also happens to have the blue interior.

Although the front bumper on this particular one is falling off.

Videos of International trucks and farm equipment with the DVT-573 V8 engine.

Videos of a couple of International Loadstars with the MV404 and MV446 gasoline engines-which had later evolved into the 6.9 and 7.3 liter Indirect Injection (IDI) diesel engines.

A Rear Engine TC/2000 with the Cummins C-platform engine and the Allison/World MD3060 transmission.

This was also one of the last Rear Engine TC/2000s produced before Blue Bird had discontinued the Rear-Engine TC/2000 in 1998 and had continued building the Front Engine TC/2000 until 2004.

The Allison/World MD3060 transmission must have been phased in as an option during the tail end of the Rear Engine TC/2000’s production run as this transmission was in the process of replacing the Allison MT-643 transmission.

Photo from Chris’s bachelorette party in 1968 just prior to hers and Jim’s wedding of Ann & Margaret’s father Joe (the guy with the graying head and facial hair, with sideburns and a mustache at this time), Ann’s husband Paul (the guy with dark hair and a dark mustache who is pictured wearing a gray vest, gray pants; and is standing behind the table); and the man who is clean shaven with sideburns, pictured wearing the gold suit, gold pants, and the gold tie is my paternal grandfather.

The guy in the short-sleeved striped shirt standing behind the table might be Margaret’s husband Ralph.

This bachelorette party took place in Bernice’s basement, and is one of the houses that my paternal grandfather had overseen the construction of when he worked for the Stumpf Construction Company.
