Odds and Ends

Had a starter always give me trouble with a '94 Camaro I had. So I made sure when I parked, I was always on a slight incline so it was easier to pop the clutch to get going if no one was around to help push. Got to the point I just left the windows down and or doors unlocked cause most people don’t know how to drive standard nor would they realize they need to pop the clutch to get it started… :slight_smile:

Funny, one of the first cars I owned was a Nissan Micra. It had a sticky starter so I carried a small ball-peen hammer beside the seat that I used to tap, tap, tap the starter to get it to work. Good times.

Oh man, my mom had a '94 Ford Explorer that had a starter like that. Some mornings before she’s heading to work and I’m getting ready for school she’d be like, I need you to go do your magic on the starter. I was doing the same thing you were, tap tap… Mom, it’s ready to go! :wink:

Did anyone else grab Alter Ego (1999 Magazine) 197 with the Dave Stevens cover?

I did a bit of a money glitch purchase today. Third Eye Comics is offering gift cards at a discount. So what I ended up purchasing was a $500 gift card for $350. This serves several purposes. 1. I get a large purchase to write off against 2025. 2. Obviously I get $500 for the cost of $300 essentially making any purchases 30% off (since each dollar spent only cost me .70. It can be used online or in store.

If you order from them online you may want to check out the gift card sale.

The cover doesn’t look bad, but they really didn’t need to do the recolor.

That’s what it is…it said Dave Steven’s,…but it looks like an homage of sorts…. I knew something was off…

Rather have the original…can get a NM copy for $40 or less…

I didn’t get that one but i did get Comic Creator #40 a couple of weeks back, which is pretty awesome. I haven’t even got through the whole thing yet.

It looks like it was made 25 years ago by a Tarantino disciple - in the best way. It’s either going to rule or tank hard.

Curious to hear the results of your sale. All $1 books? Give us a report afterward.

$2 bagged and boarded books. Usually do $3 but have picked up a lot of recent stuff for .25 each. Time to thin the ranks.

About 3 hours left to go. Paid for my table in first 5 minutes. Made about $150 so far. Spent the morning with my son and sampled whisky. Good day so far.
