  My Car
The car was rough looking but I proudly accepted and acknowledged the thumbs ups that a few drivers flashed at me. My wife bought me a nice sound system for the car that included an amp, 9 speakers and a 12 disk remote controlled CD.
The last car I had upholstered was when I was in high school and I took it to Tijuana, Mexico and let them do the tuck and roll thing on their own.
In February we took the car to the Los Angeles Chapter of the SDC's annual car show, which was held at the Peterson Automotive Museum in LA. There were a lot of other Studebakers there, and I was happy to see a few that were not stock.

  Green Monster (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Green Monster Number 2 was painted by Arfons' mother to resemble the World War II Curtiss P-40 Flying Tigers fighter airplane, with an open mouth showing large teeth.
The most famous "Green Monster" was powered by an F-104 Starfighter General Electric J79 17,500 lbf static thrust jet engine with four-stage afterburner, which Arfons purchased from a scrap dealer for $600 and rebuilt himself, over the objections of General Electric and the government, and despite all manuals for the engine being classified top secret.
This car, painted in red and blue, won the land speed record three times during the close competition of 1964 and 1965 with 434, 536 and 576 miles per hour (698, 863, and 927 km/h) in the flying mile (despite blowing a tire on the last record run).

 The green-eyed monster - Business - Business - smh.com.au
In an age when business has discovered there is money to be made from being seen to be green, companies are happy to flaunt their green credentials to attract customers.
But green groups are worried the environment is being used as a marketing ploy to cash in on green trends without delivering any real long-term solutions.
Green groups say that until renewable energy represents a greater percentage of energy use, we are doing nothing to cut emissions.

Monster from the Green Hell stars Jim Davis, who many will probably know as Jock Ewing from TV's Dallas, as Dr. Quent Brady, as one of the scientists tracking the giant wasps.
Green Hell turns out to be a remote section of land in the interior of eastern Africa.
Monster from Green Hell is probably the most watchable entry in the micro-genre of "jungle science fiction movies " (even deadlier examples include The Unknown Terror and The Flame Barrier), but it's sure to be rough going for all but the most dedicated bad-film fanatic.

 Green plan for cars stalls - World - theage.com.au
The first fruit of the strategy, a plan to force Europe's car industry to cut carbon dioxide emissions from new cars to 120 grams a kilometre by 2012, was due to be presented yesterday.
As green activists condemned Brussels for failing to deliver on its first "real world" policy since setting an ambitious target of cutting greenhouse gases by at least 20 per cent by 2020, commissioners fell out over the best way to achieve that target in the car industry.
Green campaigners said failure to announce legislation to meet the 120-gram target "would seriously undermine the commission's credibility" and that making other policies such as bio-fuels count towards the target weakened it.

Then he lost sight of it as his car lifted off the ground and crashed in a twisted heap of metal and fire.
Arfons is the subject of the documentary "The Green Monster," a one-hour program that airs Tuesday night on the PBS series "P.O.V." From the film's opening shot -- a silhouetted Arfons curls his helmet under his arm as smoke curls behind him -- it's clear that first-time director David Finn sees Arfons as a hero.
His second car set a world record its first time out, and from that point on he was hooked on speed, debuting a newer, faster car every year or two through the late '50s and '60s.

 Craig Breedlove:Land Speed Champion - Autos & Auto Racing - Liberal Arts & Crafts network   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Then a drag racer from Ohio, Art Arfons built a land speed car in his back yard he called "Green Monster," using a military surplus J79 jet aircraft engine with afterburner to reach an astounding 434 mph on the Utah salt flats for a new world's record in May of that same year.
This led to this consideration of a new rocket-powered land speed record car, but U.S. government restrictions on the use of rocket engines and fuels became too stringent to successfully continue the program, and he had to abandon his rocket car project in the mid-1980s.
The full-size, 41 foot mock-up for that intended rocket car is now exhibited at various museums and is the design forerunner to his newest Spirit of America land speed record car.

Even when going through a green light, try to watch for drivers who may be running a red light.
Some people may remember this tip from driver's education: The correct minimal distance between you and the car in front of you is one car length per 10 miles per hour.
If you leave this much room, you are less likely to hit the car in front of you if you are read-ended, thus avoiding a chain-reaction collision.

With its comfy chairs and tables and mugs of "coffee" and its (semi-) informal, (semi-)unscripted air of hanging out, it reflects the room in which its viewers sit, completing a kind of inclusive family circle, making a party of which all are a part.
He was, for example, made to play "pickle roulette" and eat a pickle that might have been marinating in urine, in a kind of payback for a teenage practical joke of his own.
Like them, Green was born for TV, but he is not yet in their league, and the spastic extremity of his shtick suggests a Bobcat Goldthwait or Emo Phillips career span, and the one joke upon which the show is predicated is bound eventually to pall.

The closer you look at the car the more appealing it is. The only detail I'd change was the vents on the side of the car are printed, I'd like to see them photo etched metal of even small plastic vents.
One detail I love that this car has that many don't is simulated tape across the front lights, sure it's a small detail but I think it adds a great deal to the overall look of the car.
The tires stuck well, the car still ran as smoothly as if it was being held down by the magnet, and there was not a hint of hop that so many NC5 powered cars have.
