Hi all! I'm excited to share the news with everyone that my wife and I will be having a daughter on or around March 1!! Unfortunately I sold my matching 15 window before we found out but my mini bus still looks good in front of my double cab 😎.

We brought my oldest daughter home from the hospital in 1988 in my 1970 VW beetle (I was too nervous to try to drive Mrs. Cusser's 1982 Firebird). I had soundtrack from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly playing on cassette.

All the others took home their kids in new mini-vans !!! This was in Scottsdale, Arizona (we lived in Tempe).

We brought our kids home in a '71 Westy, past the "Bitchy Nurse" inspection too... :lol:

Taught my then 16 YO, now 18 YO, daughter to drive stick in my Tacoma. She hated it at first but now it's the only thing she wants to drive!

I posted the above in late September 2016. Since then I have resurrected that 1970 VW beetle, roadworthy, licensed, and insured again now after 23 years sitting on the side of my house !!! I rebuilt the engine, all new brakes, battery, voltage regulator, rebuilt the locked-up speedometer, new tires, new shocks and steering damper, new fuel sender.

There are stories behind that photo.

We cannot remember why champagne would be drunk in a warmer time of the year.

And Mrs. Cusser is only rarely without underclothes; I'm sure that I had to lobby to take a photo posed like that.

I had that photo as avatar photo here for several years, then moderator took it down and said it "showed too much". So I E-mailed the full photo to him and he declared it OK so it was re-instated.

Taking Mrs. Cusser out for VD tonight, we're busy Tuesday !!!

I just got busted by my wife when I was looking at that picture. She said "who's that!" I told her a guy used his wife's picture as his avatar. " you want me to use yours?" That shut her up pretty quick.

I did the avatar thing years back so I could see Mrs. Cusser's picture at lunch time at work, when I could go on to technical forums.

I'd send Mrs. Aeromech a photo of ME to compensate, but afraid that might damage her eyesight forever !!!
