There was a time in my younger days when being a "dork" ( the model trains and especially the women's clothes) or admitting it publicly would have lead to being bullied etc at school, I'm still a bit cautious about the model trains
Wow! If you’re an outdoorsy person and like to hike in the woods and swim in the ocean you better know your hazardous species and what to do if encountering them.
Sounds like there’s a lot of danger down under, but still a place I’d love to visit.
In the US we have a lot of aggressive land animals (Bears, Alligators, Crocodiles, Mountain Lions, Badgers, Wolverines, Wolves, Wild Boar and ex Wives) but not a lot poisonous stuff other than rattlesnakes, water moccasins a couple of spiders and divorce attorneys.Seems like weather events here - Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Flash Floods, Mud Slides, Avalanches, Wild Fires, Volcanoes and Blizzards are our biggest nature related killers.
North America is much more dangerous I reckon. Very little interaction with our venomous stuff, and death is very rare when it does.
Our critters get overblown because they are spiders and snakes. Many humans are hardwired to dread them I think. Just leave stuff alone, and not mess with the wildlife and everything is fine.
This is my idea of the perfect grotesque gas hog. Not because of Ghostbusters, but because my grandmother had a '59 Sedan DeVille or something like that. It was big and black. Make it a hearse or ambulance so it hauls bass gear better and it's the perfect gig-mobile. With the exception of fuel mileage. The one in this picture looks just about perfect in its understatedly over the top absurdity.I love most grotesque, ostentatious, heavy gas hogs unfortunately.
"Good from far but far from good"It means, *it*, whatever being referred to, in this case cars, looks pretty great - from 20 feet away.
Closer you get, the less great it looks

Nice, but I'll take the station wagon with fake wood in the garage behind him. It's more practical for hauling band stuff.
I'll take both, thanks. And the car a few pics up that started this sub-thread!
You can haul a lot of Thunderbirds in them.
Beautiful, but good luck parking it!This is my idea of the perfect grotesque gas hog. Not because of Ghostbusters, but because my grandmother had a '59 Sedan DeVille or something like that.

Hey, if you’re gonna go, you might as well go in style (and get there quick).This is my idea of the perfect grotesque gas hog.
