From The Cabin Coffee Table — An occasional look back at what the old Codgers saw and smoked (with a little detour and frolic, here and there):
I'd love to see what those future codgers will see!15 to 50 mph in less than 13 seconds! I suppose it seemed quick. I'm guessing the 3.3 seconds, 0 - 60 mph, for a Mustang Shelby GT500 (stock), will seem slow to some future codgers.
You're seeing it now. As a future codger one day I'll be looking at a 2040 Something and I'll be telling the whippersnappers how it's ugly, how my old 2016 Charger had all the speed and class.I'd love to see what those future codgers will see!

And don’t forget the ancient codger parting sendoff when you’ve finished. Tell them to get off your lawn.
I keep my dad's old (and very heavy) 12ga double barrel around just for these sorts of grand gestures. I've not yet resorted to actually dragging it out of the gun safe, but it's there, just in case!And don’t forget the ancient codger parting sendoff when you’ve finished.

Nah, I wanna see what's a hundred years off, I want to know if we keep gaining or end up starting over at caveman.You're seeing it now.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that pipe tobacco burns at, what, 500 Centigrade? That's 932 F. Taking 86 from that is still about 846. That's not a lot cooler!At least the Kaywoodie folks have ceased telling us to turn the magazine sideways for "a better view".
And that graph in the PA ad is informative as to the wily ways of the advertisers; under the rubric of "You can prove anything with statistics or a mysterious graph."
