As Found on eBay:
This is an amazing opportunity for you to own a nostalgic piece of automobile history!
Dodge marketed this Mitsubishi-built car in the late 70’s and early 80’s as the Challenger. A sister model, the Sapporo was also marketed by Plymouth. These much loved cars have all but disappeared from the face of the planet but this Challenger has survived and never ceases to cause a stir!
The Challenger came very well equipped for the time with a big 2.6 liter 4-cylinder engine, 5-speed manual transmission, power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, 14-inch radial tires with raised-white letters mounted on alloy-wheels, full instrumentation including a tachometer, tilt steering, intermittent wipers, overhead console with digital clock and pivoting map light and dual power side mirrors just to name a few features. This car is equipped with a MOPAR air conditioning system (not currently working) and a period correct AM/FM cassette stereo.
It is finished in a factory two-tone color scheme of Bright Blue Metallic (B22) and Warm White (W61). The interior on this car is an amazing blast from the past! The blue and white with blue, white and red plaid inserts is completely original and in terrific shape! The color-matched louvers on the side windows were standard but the louvers on the rear window were an aftermarket accessory. The rear louvers lift up for easily window cleaning or can be easily removed for a more stock look. Clearly the car has been loved and well cared for its 34 years.
For its time the Challenger was a unique car not only to look at but also to drive. This Challenger runs and drives terrifically! The engine has good power and the transmission shifts smoothly. It cruises at freeway speeds with no problems. We recently installed a remanufactured carburetor and muffler and tailpipe. It passed California emissions on 6/22/12. I just completed a couple hundred mile trip in the car and it performed very well!
THE GOOD
Clearly this car is a survivor and is one of what must be very, very few Challengers left in original condition. There are just tick over 95,000 miles on the odometer which (based on the car’s condition) are assumed to be correct. Mechanically the car starts, runs, drives and stops well. The interior is an amazing time capsule as you can see from the photos. All the gauges, the radio, the overhead console with clock, the dual power mirrors and intermittent wipers work. The car is like it was back in the 70’s right down to the original Mitsubishi ignition key. The car comes with an owner’s manual and shop manual as well as an original sales brochure. It is ready for you to drive and enjoy.
THE NOT SO GOOD
Though in great condition overall, this car is 34 years old and has a few dings and scratches here and there. There is a small amount of surface rust on the lower rockers of the front fenders which is characteristic of these cars. Though the finish is brilliant, the clear coat on the hood and roof are crazed and a meticulous owner might want to have those parts refinished. There is an aftermarket power antenna installed that does not work. As previously mentioned the air conditioner is not working. There is a chip in the plastic on the driver’s side mirror and one of the vents in the center of the dash is missing. Each seat should have four small plastic trim pieces that is finish trim. Some of these trim pieces have come off (pictured). The original alloy wheels have not been curbed but could stand a good polishing. Sections of the wheels were painted blue by a previous owner and that paint job has not stood the test of time. None of these things listed greatly deter from how nice this car is overall. I simply mention them so you the potential buyer has a good idea of the car’s true condition.

You have to wonder these days what new cadets consider to be “fun.” That was the word many from the Class of 2018 used to describe the Zilinski Challenge Aug. 10 at Camp Buckner.
Squads were tested on physical strength and endurance throughout the challenge while graded on several soldier skills they’ve learned during Cadet Basic Training, like donning and sealing a protective mask, land navigation, assembling the radio and calling in for medical evacuation.
Somewhat a departure from previous Buckner challenges that used Zodiacs to get squads around a short course on Lake Popolopen, this time the squad had to low crawl across the beach and head first into the cold, murky water.
They also low crawled and swung through two obstacles at Marne, and completed three others at the Anzio Obstacle Course.
Perhaps the fun was at the Buckner Parade Field where legs buckled and bodies crumbled after a series of physical challenges. First, the Humvee push—about 300-400 meters across concrete and grass, assumably the best of both worlds. Then, imagine all that was left of the vehicle was one, huge tire. The squad had to push that back and forth another sizeable distance. Pushups, buddy carries, flutter kicks and pullups would follow before they were tested on assembling a swiss seat for rappelling.

My transformation to Challenge 162
Its gears have stopped turning and now it is frozen in time.
*UPDATE*: I won the challenge with this photo! Yay! :)
These are some mica shift pieces I had a play around with for the challenge at Aussiepolyclayers for April. I used the same technique for the hollow beads but just used a mica shift veneer instead.
Our Daily Challenge - Yellow.
The weather (and a dodgy knee) has kept me in work this lunchtime. Thankfully there's lots of yellow things around.
And not a coffee bean in sight (He is in the out-takes though!)
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon visited the 1,000th recipient of the Climate Challenge Fund (CCF) as she announced the latest grants totalling £15.3 million. That means total CCF funding since its launch in 2008 has now reached £101 million, with 1,097 grants across Scotland.
The 1,000th grant of £290,392 was awarded to Glasgow-based Bike for Good for continuing their schools project – which works with young people, teachers and parents to encourage cycling and reduce car use.

Got a tube in the mail today from the nice people at NetLife Research with a UX Challenge towel/flag/sling (?) which I hung under my "IAs do it for the experience" decal. They also sent their Bad Usability Calendar 2009, sweet! :) Thanks NetLife Research!
I've got a real gig in my town doing photos for a hotel. It's a real challenge for me. Not only is interior photography challenging, but the hotel is not very stylish. I'm focusing on "clean" rather than "trendy"...today was difficult, but I'm enjoying the challenge.
Here's an interesting note...I used to be a maid in this hotel in 1998. The decor has not changed. @.@
There is a gelled flash in the bathtub triggered with RF602s.

These pots were among the many cool salvaged items I collected around our hood post-Katrina. They've been waiting for a while to be mosaicized! The one with the faces is broken around the rim. I won't cover the faces, just work around them.
I'm going to start with the smaller one for the challenge! It's 16" tall x 22" diameter at it's largest point. I've drilled holes in the bottom & sealed it inside & out with a weldbond water mix (several months ago). I'll probably add a layer of kilz on the outside to have a consistant surface to do draw on......to help me come up with a plan of attack!
Oh, so many possibilities!
