Remember that scene in the 1999 movie American Beauty where the Kevin Spacey character, Lester, has an epiphany and quits his job and buys a pristine, red 1970 Pontiac Firebird? His wife asks him about the car in the driveway and he says: "It's mine... it's the car I always wanted and now I have it." That's what happens to a lot of us guys as we come into our fifties. https://www.vivafifty.com/cars-feel-young-860/ https://www.vivafifty.com/cars-feel-young-860/

Day Thirty-Three
Pairing: None
Words: 860
Prompt: “Imagine Team Free Will worrying about you since you’ve been avoiding them, but it turns out you’ve just been studying like crazy since you want to get on an online course about art and no one knew that you were into that sort of thing and you were embarrassed to tell them” from @teamfreewillimagines
“I’m going out!” you call over your shoulder as you head up the stairs to the entrance to the Bunker.
“Stay safe,” Sam responds without looking up from his book.
You shut the big door behind you and climb into your own baby, a 1967 Pontiac GTO in her original dark purple glory. The engine roars to life and you’re off.
Today’s location isn’t too far from the bunker. You pull your bag of supplies from the trunk and get to work.
“Where’s Y/N?” Dean asks, coming out of the kitchen with a pair of beers. He passes one to Sam.
“Dunno. She said she was going out. She’s a grown woman, Dean. She can handle herself.”
“I know. I was just wondering. She’s been gone, or busy, a lot lately. Kinda feels like she’s up to something, doesn’t it?”
“I think you’re just paranoid. Whatever it is, she’ll tell us when she’s ready.”
“Yeah, I guess she will,” Dean admits, albeit reluctantly.
“If you really want to know, just ask her.”
“Ask who?” Cas says, appearing beside Sam.
“Y/N,” Dean answers. “She’s been acting kind of weird these last few weeks. Going places without telling us where and keeping to her room a lot more.”
“So?”
“I think she’s hiding something from us,” Dean explains. “And I’m going to find out what.”
When you get back to the Bunker, Dean is waiting in the control room.
“Hi, Dean,” you say, coming down the stairs with your bag slung over your shoulder.
“Where’d you go?” he asks, leaning casually against the table.
“Out,” you say, already headed for your room. Why’s he being so weird?”
“What’s in the bag?”
“Stuff, Dean. Why are you asking so many questions?”
“Because you’re keeping something from us,” he says. “Now, what’s in the bag?”
“None of your business,” you snap, suddenly defensive.
He grabs for it, but you jerk away and take off down the hall. You push past Sam, who looks startled, and slam your bedroom door behind you. You quickly lock it.
“Dean, what did you do?” Sam says, entering the control room.
“I might’ve tried to take her bag,” the older Winchester admits.
Sam gives him a disappointed look. “Really? What are you, two? Why couldn’t you just ask her?”
“I did! She wouldn’t tell me.”
“I’m sure trying to take her bag has really helped things along.”
“I’m sorry, okay? I shouldn’t have tried to take it.”
“I’m not the one you should be apologizing to, Dean.”
A soft knock at your door startles you from what you’re doing. You quickly shut the laptop.
“Who is it?” you call.
“It’s Sam,” the younger Winchester calls back.
You get up and unlock the door. Sam is standing on the other side with his hands in his pockets.
“What’s up?” you ask, leaning against the doorframe to keep him from entering.
“I’m sorry about Dean,” Sam says. “I’ve already talked to him about what he did. But he had good intentions, Y/N. We’re just worried about you. You’ve been distant lately.”
“I’ve just had a lot on my mind. What’s the point? It doesn’t really concern you guys.”
“I know. It’s your business. But we’re your friend and we’re worried. What kind of friends are we if you can’t come to us when there’s something on your mind?”
He has a point, you have to admit. You should be able to trust the brothers and Castiel with this. “I’m just worried you’ll laugh at me for it.”
Sam looks almost offended that you would think so little of him. “I would never. Dean might, but me and Cas?”
“I know,” you sigh. “Look, I’ll tell you guys at dinner. Fair?”
He nods. “I’ll send Dean down to apologize for himself.”
“Okay.”
Dean does come down to apologize in person. He even makes your favorite- white chicken fettuccini Alfredo, and French bread with garlic and butter. You’re still nervous when you sit down for dinner, though.
“You don’t have to tell us if you don’t want to,” Cas assures you.
“You guys deserve to know,” you reply. “I’ve been so distant lately because I’ve been compiling my portfolio.”
“What kind of portfolio?” Sam asks, mop up some Alfredo with his bread.
“A digital photography portfolio,” you explain. “I’m applying for an online college course on digital photography. That’s why I’ve been spending so much time away from the Bunker and locked up in my room.”
“College, huh?” Dean says. “Looks like Sammy’s not the special one anymore. That’s really cool, Y/N. I don’t understand why you didn’t just tell us, but I’m still proud of you.”
“I didn’t know you liked photography,” Sam admits. “I’m guessing your bag has your camera and stuff?”
You nod. “I prefer nature photography, though I have worked with people, as well.”
“I would like to see some of your work,” Cas says.
“You guys really don’t think it’s lame or anything?” you say sheepishly.
“Not at all,” Sam says, Dean and Cas nodding in agreement. “It’s your life, Y/N. we’ll fully support you in this.”
You smile, feeling much better. “Thanks.”

What’s your Classic Car Decade?
Tumblr media
You love your classics, but which decade best suits you? Take a stroll through history and discover your classic car era.
1930s
Your Attitude: You lean toward extravagance – and it suits you. You lean toward long, sleek lines and dramatic styling that make people stop and stare no matter where you are.
Sign of the Times: In the 1930’s if you had it, you flaunted it. The stock market had just crashed and many people were struggling to make ends meet. But during that decade car makers turned out some of the most stunning, showy vehicles in history.
Your Car: The 1933 Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow or the 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C2900.
1940s
Your Attitude: You like to make a statement in a laid back sort of way. You like your ride low and long with a hood that goes on for days. You have an air of authority; when you talk, people listen.
Sign of the Times: In the 1940s jazz was emerging on the scene and hipsters were strutting about, taking life however it came to them. From war time to post war, auto styles reflected the drama of the day.
Your Car: The 1941 Willys Americar or the 1949 Mercury Two-Door Coupe.
1950s
Your Attitude: You live life in the fast lane; nothing slows you down. You are always ready for a rumble and you have the swagger to prove it.
Sign of the Times: Laid back, materialistic and idyllic, the 1950s serve as a time in our history when we could afford to be a little carefree. With the dawn of rock and roll things were just peachy keen.
Your Car: The 1953 Chevrolet Corvette or the 1956 Ferrari 860 Monza or the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.
1960s
Your Attitude: Ordinary just won’t do for you. You want a hot ride both in the styling and under the hood cause rules were made to be broken.
Sign of the Times: The free spirit culture of the 1960s ushered in dramatic changes to our society that would forever alter history. It also welcomed some of the most iconic muscle cars ever in the automobile industry.
Your Car: The 1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback, 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, or the 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe.
1970s
Your Attitude: Fast and powerful is the name of the game and you like to win. You are a little rough around the edges, but that’s OK. It’s part of your charm.
Sign of the Times: Landmark shifts in laws and government mark this decade. Rebellion and reform were the signs of the times and many of the cars reflected that with more horsepower and flashier styling.
Your Car: The 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda or the 1973-‘74 Pontiac Super Duty Trans Am.

Why you care: Choices are good to have! Howards Cams has a Rattler Camshaft to fit most applications, whether flat or roller tappet, and in a variety of profiles. Depending on the grind, they can be used as OE replacements, as well as in high-performance racing engines.

Bowler Transmissions
Camaro Trans Crossmember
What it is: Manual swap crossmember for 1967 – 1981 Camaro
Why you care: The first and second-generation Camaros are prime candidates for all kinds of transmission upgrades, and one of the most popular is the Tremec 5- and 6-speed swap. Since those transmissions move the mounting location back a few inches from where they were originally designed, the need for a good quality crossmember becomes important. The tubing is CNC bent 1.25-inch O.D. x .219-inch thick wall steel that is then fixture welded to .250-inch thick steel mounting plates.
How much: $299 Learn more: Bowler Transmissions; 618/943-4856; BowlerTransmissions.com
Borgeson
Quick-Ratio GM Steering Box
What it is: Faster steering
Why you care: This all-new modern quick-ratio power steering box replaces the worn Saginaw/Delphi 800 series unit in most 1965-and-up GM muscle cars, reducing gear slop and speeding up steering input. It has a quick 12.7:1 ratio with a firm modern steering feel and bolts directly to the stock location, using the original power steering pitman arm. (Cars switching from manual steering will require a power steering pitman arm.) The steering box includes adapters to use either O-ring or flare-style hose connections, and uses a ¾-inch, 30-spline input shaft. (All pre-1977 cars will require a new rag joint connector, part No. 990012.)
How much: $495 Learn more: Borgeson; 860/482-8283; www.Borgeson.com
Competition Engineering

What it is: Chevy Nova Badging
Why you care: Classic Industries now offers reproduction trunk lid emblems for 1968-’72 Chevy II/Nova models. These freshly minted pieces are manufactured from quality die-cast materials and feature the correct O.E. finish including black satin accents for a true authentic appearance. These emblems also have accurate factory markings on the back as originals, and are officially licensed GM restoration parts. The mounting speed nuts are also included. Part No. CM3070 is one-year only for the 1968 Chevy II trunk lid, part No. 8728940 is for 1969-72 Nova.
How much: $49.99 (1968 Chevy II), $29.99 (1969 – 1972) Learn more: Competition Engineering; 800/854-1280; ClassicIndustries.com
Moroso Performance Products
Big-Block Chevy Valve Covers
What it is: Valve covers that don’t leak
Why you care: Big-block Chevys are great at making power, but their ability to hold fluids are in our experience, well, underwhelming. The more horsepower, the worse it can get. If you’ve got a set of 20-degree Brodix SR20 or Dart Pro 1 heads, don’t get angry, get a pair of these valve covers by Moroso. They’re fabricated from aluminum, and most importantly, they have a one-piece CNC-machined billet rail for positive sealing, and are 3 inches tall to clear the most ambitious valvetrains. (Look for part No. 68489.)
How much: street price around $408 Learn more: Moroso Performance Products; 203/453-6571; Moroso.com

WASHINGTON | Family with Trump-like ambition runs hotel hosting summit
New Post has been published on https://is.gd/BPFAMZ
WASHINGTON | Family with Trump-like ambition runs hotel hosting summit
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Singapore coastal hotel where President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un plan to meet on Tuesday is overseen by a wealthy Singapore family whose real estate development firm is pushing into the competitive upscale resort realm where Trump’s own company operates.
The 112-room Capella Singapore, which juts out of a lushly landscaped island in Singapore’s harbor, is owned by the city’s Kwee family, according to Singapore media. Their Pontiac Land Group company has been building a network of lavish hotels across Asia and the Singapore firm has even intruded on the Trump Organization’s New York base, building a 72-story condominium and museum gallery project in midtown Manhattan.
The hotel on Sentosa Island, said to be a pirate haunt and later a 19th-century base for colonial British artillery officers, was purchased last fall by the Kwee family, a billionaire quartet of four brothers, according to the media accounts. Forbes has estimated the family’s holdings at $5.5 billion and their budding hotel empire has ties to the Ritz-Carlton chain, a rival to the Trump Organization for the affection of wealthy and business travelers.
Both the hotel and the Kwee’s firm did not confirm the reports of the family’s involvement in the hotel. A hotel spokeswoman said she could not “disclose details related to this event” and the real estate firm did not reply to a request for comment from The Associated Press.
But the hotel was among nine properties that the Kwees were said to have bought late last year from their former partner, Ritz-Carlton veteran Horst Schulze, who is still listed as “chairman emeritus” on the group’s website. The group’s board of directors include Evan Kwee, son of Pontiac Land Group Chairman Kwee Liong Tek, and Ng Chee Yuen, founder of Shenning Investments Pte. Ltd., the Kwee family’s real estate investment firm.
There are no Trump resorts in Singapore, but the Trump Organization has licensed the Trump name for real estate projects in the Philippines and India and is planning two Trump-branded resorts in Indonesia.
Just days before Trump was heading into difficult trade talks with China last month, Trump’s Indonesia partner announced it had hired a Chinese state-owned company to construct a theme park on the property featuring one of the president’s resorts, which ethics experts said could help his business there and unduly influence him.
In addition to their Asian holdings, the Kwees’ Pontiac Land Group is gambling on a signature skyscraper that is being built on West 53rd Street in New York, abutting the Museum of Modern Art. Partnering with the Houston-based Hines real estate firm, Pontiac Land Group secured $860 million in financing from a trio of southeast Asian banks to buy the 18,000-square-foot site, previously owned by Hines and Goldman Sachs.

Where should we keep car insurance papers and license plate registration?
My husband and I live in Ontario and currently share one vehicle. He insists on keeping the insurance papers and plate registration in his wallet but if I need the car I have to get them from him each time (of course, if we get stopped we can be ticketed for not having the papers). The problem is, we are both extremely busy and sometimes forget to give them back to each other and find ourselves driving without the papers. My question is, where is the best place to keep these papers (I've heard you shouldn't keep them in the car in case its stolen) AND/OR are they valid if photocopied and one of us keeps THOSE copies in our wallet? I've heard that using a true copy, whatever that is, is accepted but that some police officers won't accept them at true if you're stopped. This is becoming a real problem for us...please help!""
Car insurance question - backed into someone?
This afternoon, I was backing out of a parking spot in a crowded lot. I was going under 5 mph and backed into someone. There was a very small dent in their bumper in front of the passenger tire. No damage to my car. They pulled over. I gave him my name and phone number and told him to call me. He said they would probably pull the dent out themselves or that it couldn't cost more than $100 to fix . I didn't get any of his info and only gave him my name and phone number. After I left, I started to regret not getting his info. I'm trying to decide if I should report it to my insurance company now or wait to see if he calls me. Any advice?""

Car insurance advice needed for a 17 year old?
As I said in my previous question. I recently bought a Citroen AX 988cc for 500 and paid 2800 insurance for a year. I thought It was really good as all of my mates had paid well over 3000 for their Fiestas etc. I got alot of answers saying I had been ripped off. I would be so happy if you could tell me of a better deal. I called a total of 46 insurance companies, and used comparison websites on a variety of insurance group 1 cars. And this was the very cheapest I could find. Initially Iwanted a VW Golf. (Not the GTI Version) But I was quoted 9000 a year, not bad but I dont earn that much yet. I have 3 jobs but all are minumum wage. (6-10am, 10am-6pm, 7pm-11.20pm). Could you give me a better deal. Where to go, what other car would be cheaper, and general advice on getting it as cheap as olot of people in my previous question told me they got it. Thanks.""

About Health Insurance?
I just went for a job interview this morning, and it seemed to go well. When I was asked if I had any questions about the company, I inquired about their health plan. She turned a little red and said they offered Blue Cross Blue Shield (not uncommon in my region), but then went on to say The company covers 60% and the employee, 40%). She went on to give an explanation about how BCBS charges the company based on the average age of all employees (which in this company's case, is about 45 or something). Anyway, my question is this: What do you think about that? 60 to 40 equation? I'm thinking that my 'out of pocket' (for family - my son and I) will be quite high, and my co pays at the doctor/dentist will be as well... Can anyone help please?""

Car Accident - Auto insurance Question?
Today I was involved in a horrible collision. Car made a complete stop put hazard lights on, I made a complete stop at a reasonable distance however 15 seconds after I stopped I look at the mirror and a taxi van cab slams right into me my car goes flying forward hits the truck infront of me and bounces back, air bag goes off . Long story short I'm in horrible pain and have evident bruises . Police arrived filled out reports. The man that hit me was found at fault for both collisions. So my major concern is : I called my insurance company , made the claim they took down all the info but at the end of the conversation she told me that if I don't have full coverage I'm out of luck then she asked me if I do which I don't remember . So I'm taking a look at my policy contract and I don't see anywhere where it says full coverage ... I think it is full coverage since my car was being financed. All it basically says on the contract is liability limit $ 1 000, 000 So if they write off my car what happens next?""

WASHINGTON | Family with Trump-like ambition runs hotel hosting summit

WASHINGTON | Family with Trump-like ambition runs hotel hosting summit
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Singapore coastal hotel where President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un plan to meet on Tuesday is overseen by a wealthy Singapore family whose real estate development firm is pushing into the competitive upscale resort realm where Trump’s own company operates.
The 112-room Capella Singapore, which juts out of a lushly landscaped island in Singapore’s harbor, is owned by the city’s Kwee family, according to Singapore media. Their Pontiac Land Group company has been building a network of lavish hotels across Asia and the Singapore firm has even intruded on the Trump Organization’s New York base, building a 72-story condominium and museum gallery project in midtown Manhattan.
The hotel on Sentosa Island, said to be a pirate haunt and later a 19th-century base for colonial British artillery officers, was purchased last fall by the Kwee family, a billionaire quartet of four brothers, according to the media accounts. Forbes has estimated the family’s holdings at $5.5 billion and their budding hotel empire has ties to the Ritz-Carlton chain, a rival to the Trump Organization for the affection of wealthy and business travelers.
Both the hotel and the Kwee’s firm did not confirm the reports of the family’s involvement in the hotel. A hotel spokeswoman said she could not “disclose details related to this event” and the real estate firm did not reply to a request for comment from The Associated Press.
But the hotel was among nine properties that the Kwees were said to have bought late last year from their former partner, Ritz-Carlton veteran Horst Schulze, who is still listed as “chairman emeritus” on the group’s website. The group’s board of directors include Evan Kwee, son of Pontiac Land Group Chairman Kwee Liong Tek, and Ng Chee Yuen, founder of Shenning Investments Pte. Ltd., the Kwee family’s real estate investment firm.
There are no Trump resorts in Singapore, but the Trump Organization has licensed the Trump name for real estate projects in the Philippines and India and is planning two Trump-branded resorts in Indonesia.
Just days before Trump was heading into difficult trade talks with China last month, Trump’s Indonesia partner announced it had hired a Chinese state-owned company to construct a theme park on the property featuring one of the president’s resorts, which ethics experts said could help his business there and unduly influence him.
In addition to their Asian holdings, the Kwees’ Pontiac Land Group is gambling on a signature skyscraper that is being built on West 53rd Street in New York, abutting the Museum of Modern Art. Partnering with the Houston-based Hines real estate firm, Pontiac Land Group secured $860 million in financing from a trio of southeast Asian banks to buy the 18,000-square-foot site, previously owned by Hines and Goldman Sachs.

In addition to their Asian holdings, the Kwees’ Pontiac Land Group is gambling on a signature skyscraper that is being built on West 53rd Street in New York, abutting the Museum of Modern Art. Partnering with the Houston-based Hines real estate firm, Pontiac Land Group secured $860 million in financing from a trio of southeast Asian banks to buy the 18,000-square-foot site, previously owned by Hines and Goldman Sachs.

WASHINGTON | Family with Trump-like ambition runs hotel hosting summit
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Singapore coastal hotel where President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un plan to meet on Tuesday is overseen by a wealthy Singapore family whose real estate development firm is pushing into the competitive upscale resort realm where Trump’s own company operates.
The 112-room Capella Singapore, which juts out of a lushly landscaped island in Singapore’s harbor, is owned by the city’s Kwee family, according to Singapore media. Their Pontiac Land Group company has been building a network of lavish hotels across Asia and the Singapore firm has even intruded on the Trump Organization’s New York base, building a 72-story condominium and museum gallery project in midtown Manhattan.
The hotel on Sentosa Island, said to be a pirate haunt and later a 19th-century base for colonial British artillery officers, was purchased last fall by the Kwee family, a billionaire quartet of four brothers, according to the media accounts. Forbes has estimated the family’s holdings at $5.5 billion and their budding hotel empire has ties to the Ritz-Carlton chain, a rival to the Trump Organization for the affection of wealthy and business travelers.
Both the hotel and the Kwee’s firm did not confirm the reports of the family’s involvement in the hotel. A hotel spokeswoman said she could not “disclose details related to this event” and the real estate firm did not reply to a request for comment from The Associated Press.
But the hotel was among nine properties that the Kwees were said to have bought late last year from their former partner, Ritz-Carlton veteran Horst Schulze, who is still listed as “chairman emeritus” on the group’s website. The group’s board of directors include Evan Kwee, son of Pontiac Land Group Chairman Kwee Liong Tek, and Ng Chee Yuen, founder of Shenning Investments Pte. Ltd., the Kwee family’s real estate investment firm.
