                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A number of years ago I did a SFX image of one of my 1/18 Chevrolet Impala coupes for my young nieces, who were fans of the TV series "Supernatural". The car diecast model used was an Ertl Authentics 2-door Impala coupe, although in the series, the stars actually drove an older 1967 white 4-door Chevrolet.</p>
<p>Later, I believe Greenlight did a fine 1/18 version of the white 4-door from the series, but this was already on my shelf ! Except for the 2 gentlemen standing behind the Impala and the guy up in the bell tower, all the photographs used in this image were taken here in Riverside, IL. The Chevrolet had a big and powerful V-8 engine, and it appears the guys may need that 8-cylinder zip to escape any possible issues, lol !  :wink:   :)  </p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For what's it's worth.....   the <em>"expanded pics issues" </em> appears to be corrected but <em>viewing &amp; posting pics </em> isn't quite like it was.    Although not distorted in any way, they do appear smaller when viewed and <em>"spaced out" </em> when posting.     </p>
<p>Again....  for what it's worth.     Perhaps this is the new norm.  &#x1f914; &#x1f914; </p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>9 Mercedes-Benz 300SLRs were built between 1954 and 1955.  As 2 seat sports cars, they were based on the open wheeled W196 R but with a larger 3.0 liter fuel injected straight 8 producing 300 HP. 2 of the 9 were given gull wing coupe bodies known as the "Uhlenhaut" for the designer/engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut. The first 300 SLR, the famous #722, debuted with a win in the 1955 Mille Miglia sporting the Union Jack and driven by Sir Sterling Moss and Denis Jenkinson. Later that car would be fitted with a mechanical air brake for endurance races to help save brakes and tires.</strong></p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul>
<li>I once dated a girl who broke up with me because I only have 8 toes.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Yes, she was lack-toes intolerant.</em></p>
<ul>
<li>I've started telling everyone about the benefits of eating dried grapes. <em>It's all about raisin awareness</em>.</li>
<li>I've started investing in stocks: beef, vegetable, chicken.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>One day I hope to be a bouillianaire</em>.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you boil a funny bone, it becomes a laughing stock.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Now that's humerus.</em></p>
<ul>
<li>I accidentally rubbed ketchup in my eyes.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Now I have Heinzsight</em>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Did you know muffins spelled backwards is what you do when you take them out of the oven?</li>
<li>Scientifically, a raven has 17 primary wing feathers, the big ones at the end of the wing are called pinion feathers. A crow has 16.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>So, the difference between a raven and a crow is only a matter of a pinion.</em></p>
<ul>
<li>I was walking in the jungle and saw a lizard on his hind legs telling jokes. <em>I turned to a local tribal leader and said, "That lizard is really funny!" The leader replied. "That's not just any old lizard ... he's a stand-up chameleon."</em></li>
<li>I tried to come up with a carpentry pun that woodwork.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>I thought I nailed it, but nobody saw it.</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Just spoke with Bill Withers and told him "Ain't No Sunshine" is bad grammar.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>He said, "I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know."</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Singing in the shower is fine until you get soap in your mouth.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Then it's a soap opera</em>.</p>
<ul>
<li>The Black-Eyed Peas can sing us a song.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>But the chick peas can only hummus one.</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Then there was the time Fruit of the Loom took Hanes to court ... <em>it was a brief case.</em></li>
<li>Once upon a time there was a King who was only 12 inches tall. He was a terrible King.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>But he made a great ruler.</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Ran out of toilet paper and now using lettuce leaves.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Today was just the tip of the iceberg and tomorrow romaines to be seen</em>.</p>
<ul>
<li>My friend Jack says he can communicate with vegetables.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>That's right ...Jack and the beans talk.</em></p>
<ul>
<li>I want to tell you about a girl who only eats plants.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>You probably have not heard of herbivore.</em></p>
<ul>
<li>I was struggling to understand how lightning works <em>and then it struck me.</em></li>
<li>I was struggling to understand where the sun went each night. <em>Finally, it dawned on me</em>.</li>
<li>Six cows were smoking joints and playing poker.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>That's right, the steaks were pretty high.</em></p>]]></content:encoded>
