A little while back I read a story from Russia. They've got some really fancy private jets that have been decommissioned. No more flying but they are still every bit as posh on the interior. The owners came up with a novel idea - rent the jets on the ground, I think it was $280 for an hour or two, right where it sits.
So all of the young folks are dogpiling on all dressed up, taking photos of themselves in the seats sipping champagne with their pinky fingers sticking out. They rent limos to be photographed getting out of, boarding the fancy jet with a pseudo-fancy flight attendant waiting at the jet's stairway. And they post the photos on social media - THIS is the way to fly! And they ain't been nowhere at all. One of the kids in the article said, "Fake it until you make it." That was the punchline of the whole story.
I got the Mustang catalog yesterday. by now I've got all I need out of there. I don't need the thing that makes Reds' rear turn signals go 1-2-3 like the new Stangs do. Not for a couple hundred bucks, and I wouldn't even get to see him do it while I was using it anyhow.
A couple other things struck me - somebody buys this stuff or it wouldn't always be in there.
Brake caliper covers. You snap these over your stock calipers and it "looks" like, well...these are $199.
And how about some "Looks like I've got hood pins?" These are $94.
This is inspiring. Weeville Garage Episode 3 (EDIT- 4) coming up soon, but it won't be filmed in the garage. I'll have to "GO" film it. Shot on location when I find the right location.
