Yes! Or Mahicannittuk by the Mohicans. It's tidal all the way from NY harbor to Albany -
I almost bought one! Fresh out of college my younger brother (by 18 months) and I were looking to buy a new car. Our interests leaned toward the new 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang but we decided to wait for the full year 1965 models to arrive. In the dealers showroom next to a beautiful green 1965 Mustang convertible was a shiney dark blue street legal 1964 or 1965 (?) Cobra, 2 seater (i.e., 2 person) with 3 point racing harness seatbelts, , 4-on-the-floor manual, don't remember which engine probably 8 cyl. Sticker price was somewhere around $8,000. The sticker price on the 65 Mustang, 3-on-the-floor manual, 6 cyl engine, 4 seater, was around $3,000-$3,200. (For reference starting salaries for newly graduated Accounting majors was about $6,000). The dealer let us take the Cobra for a test driver with a salesman along to "supervise". It handled beautifully 😍. But we both decided on Mustang convertibles; the Cobra was just impractical for two single guys, only 1 female passenger, very limited luggage space vs 3 (maybe 4) passengers in Mustang, ample luggage space. We ended up getting the Mustangs for around $2,500 each.

You can also substitute numbers for letters in words. Number 0 for letter O, number 1 for letter I or L (both upper and lower case), number 5 for letter S, number 3 for letter E, dollar sign $ for letter S . Example: Ph1lad31phia = Philadelphia. Or Pennsylvania as P3nn$1tuck3y aka Pennsyltuckey. With all the logon accounts we have to maintain, for banks, doctor's patient portals, insurance, investments, Social Security, et al, you want to follow the Kiss principles and not get too carried away. 😉

A cheap place where you can "flop" for the night, i.e. sleep. It's American slang from the Great Depression Era

Good luck on the house sale! And have a happy Thanksgiving with your family 👪!

I have the entire collection of Lee Valley's Veritas miniature tools, use them a lot, not just on models but 1:1 as well. They are well worth the investment. Also have the miniature worktop with the bench dogs et al.

Better dust off your skis, Chuck, High Point NJ got 20 inches of snow today. I'm sure Vernon got some also

Nice super moon in background. Nice display I must be in north Florida; it's still 55 F up here.

Wow ! That is an impressive finish to that paint, Craig!

Nice way to store and carry the Veritas line of miniature tools.

Glad to hear you are uninjured, cats also. Be as long winded as you like, surviving a near miss tornado is very traumatic. Take your time getting back to modeling.
