    List your trucks here.

    1991 Ford F-150 long bed, extended cab. Like this but 2wd. Kinda beat up but low miles. 1981 Dodege RAM 50 Royale Like this but black. In really great shape.

    I received an 80 page Auto World catalog.

    Slot Cars, Die Cast 1:18, 1:64, Model Kits. Every die cast or model kit I've ever seen. I received it when I ordered a Schwinn Grey Ghost die cast. It's the best resource I've ever seen of its kind. Maybe if you call 888-910-2889 they'll send you one. ;

    The Hellcat era officially ends!

    Am I the only one who thinks the Challenger and Charger Hemi cars might make a comeback? Maybe the TRX and the Hemi Durango. The outlook for EVs is a lot dimmer than it was two years ago. Can company X just buy all the tooling and continue them? If a certain person gets elected the upcoming...

    B movie with a good car chase scene.

    Nevermind I found it on YT for you.

    B movie with a good car chase scene.

    It's on Prime right now. Wake of Death. A fairly lame Jean Claude Van Damme movie. The first five minutes show a car chase that is later expanded much later in the movie. It has a white fourth Gen Z28 which you don't see very often. It gets destroyed but the action is real, no CGI. The last...

    Jobs women don't want.

    The whole fracking objection is a bunch of crap. The walls of the hole are encased in iron pipe and then cemented. Can mistakes be made, yes, but the government is very involved in the process so it's followed correctly. On the Deepwater Horizon, a whole bunch of things went wrong at once and...

    Jobs women don't want.

    The mud man is very important. For non-oilfield people there is mix of fluids that are pumped down the center of the drill pipe and out the bit. Then that mud carries the rock debris up the outside of the pipe and into a pit. The mud also seals the walls of the open hole. The chemistry has to...

    Jobs women don't want.

    The roughnecks are pretty much the bottom rung of society. Some can't read but they're basically good guys. Some are meth addicts. Sometimes I wrote letters to judges keeping them out of jail, for drinking and fighting, explaining how hard and valuable their work was. It usually worked. It's...

    Jobs women don't want.

    I don't know about the offshore rigs but the rest I do. That first guy covered in drilling mud is setting the tongs. Usually, it's a two-man job but it is that dirty and you have to move that fast and know how to throw your whole weight into it. Next, that guy is what we call throwing the...

    I'm looking forward to Mad Max Furiosa.

    I've said this a couple of times but if a movie has cool cars I'm there. That's why I can handle the nonsense in the F&F movies. Sometimes I look at what cars they chose to see if their fame will turn them into future classics. For instance, I wonder if Nova prices went up after F&F 9.

    I'm looking forward to Mad Max Furiosa.

    Fury Road was noteworthy for its very limited CGI. Don't know about this one.

    DOGS

    Lucky for me, my daughter is a veterinarian nurse. Diesel was sick this week with GI issues. He got an ER visit and a bunch of meds all at 1/2 price. Colorado temps are warming up but not over the high 70's. She said a dog came in today with heatstroke. The dog didn't survive. Be careful with...

    I'm looking forward to Mad Max Furiosa.

    Since it's a prequel it will have Immortan Joe. It was played by Hugh Keays-Byrne, who also played the villain Toe Cutter in the original Mad Max movie. Since Hugh-Byrne passed away after Fury Road it's played by a new actor who also needed to portray Immortan Joe as a younger person. The...

    I'm thinking about making a short movie.

    I pitched a horror movie idea to a friend. You know conventional wisdom portrays a soul that sticks around in the area where their life was lost, like their old home, insane asylum, etc. Graveyards never made much sense as a haunted place since the soul and body have been separated for days...

    I'm thinking about making a short movie.

    Well, with my long white hair I make a good old-timey cowboy, biker, or Nordic tribesman. If you need a hub next to the Rockies you can work outta here,

    1967 Coronet color choices

    It's tricky. colors that look good on smaller cars rarely look good on full-size cars. I like "The Hammer." I believe it's a BMW color. Warm gray.

    Not the official weather thread.....

    We have these weird windstorms since we are right up against the Rocky Mountains. I heard a forecast for 90mph gusts. I saw some fences down and some power outages. At 5:00 am I could feel the second floor of the house shaking from wind gusts.

    Apocalypse Now Overrated?

    If it provokes thought, poetry, movies, literature, and music are worth considering. We might not agree with the author but then it's even more important to consider. Basically, I'm disagreeing with Francis Ford Coppola and saying Kurtz is right. Soldiers in Vietnam were branded as baby...
