Most car collectors want the old cars they buy refurbished, but stock. They don't want the cars modified. It surprises me a lot that he remodels the cars so much no one wants to buy them. I thought the point was to get a relatively cheap car, renovate it and sell it for a hefty sum. Looked like a good deal.
pacejunkie punk Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I think you just renovate it for yourself. It's more a hobby than an investment. It's true people like to fix them up themselves you don't really get your cost back once you've done it. 1
IcyMoffatt Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 It depends of the person. Some people loves «saving» old cars and they rebuilt them as close they can get to the originals. Other people modify cars just to have something according to their tastes. And this is what Billie Joe did. His tastes are not like someone else tastes. It will be hard to sell the car. By the way, I like the idea of «buy the guitar, get the car free».

desertrose Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 From local paper, yes I was at the Phoenix and both High School shows. I was not in high school when they performed, I had already graduated a few years earlier, just went to the campus' to see them. Green Day returns to Bay Area with Oakland show Before Green Day played the huge arenas, won Grammy awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the trio played countless concerts at The Phoenix Theater in Petaluma and performed at two different high schools in Santa Rosa. “We’re in touch with each other every day, or every other day,” Dirnt said in a recent phone interview. With the band’s extensive song catalog, it’s hard for the bassist to pick a favorite to play live. “It’s like choosing a favorite kid,” he said. “You can only fit so many songs in 2 hours and 40 minutes.” “The North Bay, we’ve always had really cool and interesting shows, and usually after these shows, we’d end up at somebody’s house stoned out of our minds,” Dirnt said. “It was a great place near home that we could play, like a second home.” While it’s been years since the band graced the stage of The Phoenix Theater, “I have a million fond memories at the Phoenix,” Dirnt said. “A lot of it is a labor of love and people are way passionate about that club.” The bassist also said he took his daughter to see her first concert at the Phoenix in 2003, long after playing his last show there. “It was Hillary Duff, my daughter was like 7,” he said. “It was really funny to be standing there with my daughter on a skate ramp at her first show.” Tom Gaffey, The Phoenix Theater building manager recalls Green Day’s performances as some of his favorite concerts at the venue. “I don’t think we had a bad one among them,” Gaffey said. “What a band. They had it. Every bill that they were on, a good portion of the crowd was for them. They went from being openers to being headliners in pretty short order and in those days we were selling around 1,000 tickets a show.” Other memorable North Bay shows include pop-up concerts at Piner High School and Santa Rosa High School booked by Santa Rosa resident and KQED Arts Editor Gabe Meline in the early ’90s. “If you can call it booking them. I just called them up and asked if they would play at my school and they did it,” said Meline. “What was kind of cool about them back then was that they were willing to play anywhere at all and they didn’t care. I don’t even think we paid them for the Piner High School show.” Meline noted these pop-up school concerts were pretty low maintenance but special nonetheless. “They didn’t have microphone stands, so my friend, Jody, and I had to hold the microphones with our hands for the first song until somebody ran into the band room and got some,” he said. With formative years like these, it makes sense for Dirnt to refer to the North Bay as Green Day’s second home, and to reflect on how the band’s music from that era still lives on and will continue to live on. “I think we know that this is the greatest thing we’re ever going to do with our lives and this legacy of music is going to be here much longer than us, so appreciate it and give it to the world. It’s created a great life for us. That’s really it, you keep that mindset going forward and you just try and create more and more music for the world to have when you’re gone,” Dirnt said. http://www.pressdemocrat.com/entertainment/7188594-181/green-day-returns-to-bay 1

The Grohl Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 I keep hoping maybe they'll do a pop up shop in Chicago since playing Wrigley is a pretty big deal.

Man arrested for biting girl at Green Day concert http://koin.com/2017/08/04/man-arrested-for-biting-girl-at-green-day-concert/ I was at that show, and I didn't see/hear of anything happening until a friend mentioned it to me on Facebook (she wasn't at the show, but heard about it on the news). Nonetheless, I feel horrible for that girl and her family. I hope that experience doesn't deter her from going to concerts. I do recall seeing a younger looking girl on the floor that was crying and walking away from the stage area, but I was assuming it was because the sound was hurting her ears (her hands were covering her ears). I was going to offer her a pair of earplugs since I had a spare, but she was gone before I could call her over.
