    Clay Floyd has died

    Sorry, I disagree this has become a mickey mouse type club because it pales in comparison to some other big boys clubs these days of which I won't mention. Some are bigger babies than the teen members here. One aspect of someones life does not totally define them. One good aspect of maturity...

    Minivans

    Wagons: well, they sure were great, but heavy, and fuelish. Mercedes E class is still available as a wagon, but pails in cargo volume to a minivan. The VW bus may have been the first mass produced one. Then the Corvair van. Others were one off's or low production like the Scarab. Once...

    Bought Old Vacuum, Seller Unresponsive, What Should I Do?

    Glad the seller finally replied There are so many frauds these days. Use Paypal, or other secure form of payment which provides recourse. My mom used to say wait broke the wagon. It never hurts to be pro active. The latest gift card scam is to remove the skew off the back and check online...

    Minivans

    Honda builds a good product but their automatic transaxle is not benign to clutch pack wear out, and they've had the same front wheel bearing trouble as some GM products. The last generation Dodge Grand Caravan is still in production and is a transportation bargain.

    My cleaning business vacuums

    Heeeheeee! Post # 10 makes me laugh. Thats the way I stare at something I also have no idea how to use. I don't tweet personally. Sebo is great for vacuming a dusty Trumpy bear too. Go clean house.

    Nice Whispertone power mate! My mom had one like it. If I got it, I'd have to liquidate also. Sorry! Hope someone buys it.

    My cleaning business vacuums

    Great for you! I had a cleaning business once. I used a Kenmore until I had enough capital to buy a Hoover Conquest with the magnet and side clean out port. I was able to sell it when I liquidated.

    I called Shark/Ninja Today

    Mark, your's did pretty good. Most die of performance failure like an air leak and end up in the trash after 2 to 3 years. I see them at the curb all day long. Shark has loyal repeat customers like our kids too though.

    I Wonder What Hoover Were Thinking When They Designed That!

    Alex, well, then I'm ur man (kidding). I'd call it the growing show. (garden variety) Mid height yet full bloom like an endless summer hydrangea.

    Electrolux Model G With Original ==RARE== Electric Hose

    Maybe better lighting? If I lived out there full time, I might use an older non hepa filtered vac on my patio, it being so dry so often. Many have tiled patio's. Saves water.

    Internet censorship the new Tacony product!

    Oh my word! I can see both sides. It seems the world of online reviewing is as volatile as the stock market. I take it with a grain of salt. Part fact, part opinion. If I like the review, or have a small doubt, I go to a store and ask to have the product demonstrated in person. Then I hear can...

    Dorothy Chandler Pavilion makes her annual appearance

    I'd take her out to the ball game, but thats just me. I think she'd make a great mascot for the world series. We're a bit upset with Justin Verlander being traded to the Houston Astros. Go Dodgers!

    Warning - Craig's list Scam!!!

    Use Paypal I too find it disgusting that Craigslist, etc. has so many scammers buying and selling. No integrity, especially for a buyer appreciative of a vintage Kirby or other appliance or vacuum. Just when the banks or credit companies bust one way of thieves stealing, they come up with a...
