cats57 ?

[Retread]

Okay 📚 Dianne 📚 , if it was 57cats I reckon that would mean you're GT's crazy cat lady with fifty seven cats. But it isn't. It's cats57. So what does the 57 mean? Is that the length or something?

Good thing I had that keyboard cover overnighted!

Yep, I'm a crazy cat lady but I only have 5 cats right now!

And I must say that I'm surprised you haven't figured out on your own the why behind the 57, but here is a clue, you need to read some of my past posts and the things I talk about with certain other members... But I make enough references to the why of that figure in the Spam, thread!

Or it could be that I adore ketchup.

I mean, there have to be at least 57 varieties of cats out there, right?

Cats are always a good thing, I could be considered a crazy catlady myself, with 17 cats {7 of which are kittens}

At least and I've had many of them in the past.

What?  You really don't think it has anything to do with Ketchup???

Now if you really want to talk about cars (sorry can't find a song to go with it):


But you're on the right track!

Maybe you should have asked Wilson for some help finding one?

Wow, now that was a little too obvious for me *sheesh* especially since it has been played (if I remember correctly) during one of my favorite movies.

Of course,
that is NOT a convertible and that makes all the difference don't thnk?

Watch the video. There are several convertibles featured along with the hardtops.


As a performance vehicle, a convertible has some definite disadvantages. The biggest, a tendency for the body to twist when high torque is applied to the rear wheels. And convertibles are dreadful in inclement weather. And not at all quiet when the top is up.

But if you want a boulevard cruiser for the summer with the ability to roast the tires on occasion, they're a bit of alright.

This is a '91 but it's essentially the same as my '89 (currently in mothballs) right down to the wheels and color. It won't turn heads like a Gen-1 Mustang but it's fun to drive in good weather.

Funny I just got rid of my '98 Firebird Convertable (sad to say that I am no longer really able to get in and out of such low riding cars)- I have always loved the freedom convertibles game me and the extra speed I was able to eke out of it ( being a bit lighter than the hard tops of the day).  I hadn't noticed the noise differences between my '66 and '98, then again I listen to my music as a teenager does!

BTW great car!  I'd almost kill for a ride in that!


So have you figured out the mystery to the 57 yet?

Well, if I had known the real answer right from the start, we wouldn't have had this lovely conversation, including Longcat, Ketchup Catsup, and Cars.

I'm quite enjoying myself!

BTW -I looked up catsup and found that Google spelled it the way I had -I KNEW it didn't feel right.

So shall I keep going with the hints?

Speaking of cars you'd fall down laughing if I could ever get my sister, my nephew to allow me to take a pic with their cars - you wouldn't believe me if I told you. Or you would fall down laughing!

Four out of 6 drivers in my family drive the same make of cars ranging from 'olde pharte' vehicle to sports sedan to humongous SUV!

Actually either spelling is correct. I just made the strikethru to emphasize the cat in catsup. Hmmm. That sounded sinister.

I'm totally okay with the Heinz spelling.

Anyone who can make putting Ketchup on a hotdog look like a good thing (especially in NYC) has some serious charisma!

This seems an appropriate time to answer a question with a question. Are we still having fun?
