    Have you noticed any new trends from SEMA?

    I try to notice trends that show up in SEMA first. I remember the first wide body mod on a 2nd gen Trans Am I saw 10 years ago. I see lots of rich-brown, deep-glossy paint with tobacco brown leather interiors. I saw a '69 Camaro with what looked like steel wheels with poverty caps, both...

    What movie car would you enjoy owning?

    It can be a car before it was destroyed, like the Charger in Bullitt. No fantasy cars like a Lotus that turns into a submarine. I like the Charger in Crazy Larry, Dirty Mary. Maybe Dom's Chargers if the blower really worked and it didn't have a SBC.

    Don't feed this to animals.

    I went to the grocery store last night to buy some cheap after-Halloween candy. I told the guy rearranging the aisle that I didn't like chocolate. He picked out some licorice. I got home and it was chocolate licorice. Yuk, yuk, yuk. I told my daughter the vet nurse I would throw it out for the...

    Built vs Bought

    I've always respected the built more than bought but...If a guy earned his money by working hard and bought a fast car, that counts too. A guy might have just as many hours building a car as the guy that saved up from his job and bought one. Going to school counts too. If someone got through...

    Running Wild, 1956 car movie.

    Pretty good for a black and white B-movie of the era. Not so much of a hot rod movie of the time. It reminded me of the first Fast and Furious. I recognized a few actors. It's on YouTube.

    Super popular Halloween treat.

    I went to my son's and his wife's home for Halloween. They had lots of regular candy, but the new thing they did was noodles! So there's a show called K Pop Demon Hunters. I still don't understand all of it, but there's a big connection with noodles. They gave out packs of noodles with the K Pop...

    Are you a 0-60 guy or a top speed guy?

    I'm a 0-60 guy. I love burnouts too. Super fast stuff always scares me.

    SRT6 Crossfire with a wing.

    I've always kind of liked Crossfires, even with Top Gear's dog pooping joke. I like it better with the wing. Looks Porscherist. This was in a Hagerty article on spoilers.

    Still confused on my 727 Torque Converter problem. With pictures.

    I got raked over the coals for not asking for help from you guys before I bought it. It's supposed to be a lightly used, after it's rebuilt 727 big block trans. I had to drive from Colorado Springs to Albuquerque to get it. The problem showed up during installation. My flex plate is slightly...

    Snow tonight?

    A front is moving in. Low of 28 tonight. The news says snow in Monument, where I am. I-70, Colorado's main east-west corridor, is already closed due to blowing snow. It's only a couple of days early. It usually snows on Halloween night.

    What are your other go to car sites?

    I go to Hagerty Media a lot. Sometimes The Autopian. I love their Shi#box showdowns where readers vote for their favorite cheap crummy car from two entrants. I think they have one per day. Others you like?

    All Hallows Eve.

    It's mostly a Christian holiday observed the night before All Saints Day. The macabre part might have been a pagan holiday before Christendom took it over. I've also heard the theory that it's a night for the evil spirits to play before All Saints Day. In my old hometown, the whole week is...

    3I/ATLAS?

    There's a lot of speculation, most is sensationalism. I think there's stuff that doesn't fit our current models, and that's okay. If it was sent to explore Earth, why pass by on the other side of the sun?

    What's your favorite exhaust system?

    I have to admit I don't know what's on the '69 Charger, but I like it. We have Magnaflows on the '71 Challenger 408. Like them too. I had an open plate Borla on my '95 Z28. I have an SLP Loudmouth on the '97 SS. I liked it at first, but now it's popping when I let off the throttle. What's your...

    I forgot how brutal that head-on crash is in Death Proof.

    Basically, the movie is in two halves. The Nova, then the Charger/Challenger half. I was reading about it today. It was all old-school practical stunts. The head-on is at 80 mph. The real-life stunt driver was 65 years old. I'm not even going to link the head-on crash, but it's available...

    Weird non Mopars you like?

    I had to look this one up. I had forgotten about it. 1977 Olds 442 with the aero nose. Only 1976-77.

    your favorite breakfast cereal?

    Throwing health concerns out the window. Sugar Smacks, Fruit Loops, Count Chocula, Lucky Charms?

    For all you Swifties out there. JK, I know there are none, but this is a funny story.

    So my daughter likes Taylor Swift. Lot's of girls do. She likes football too. Although most of us hate the NFL. Seems TS brought out a new album the other day and one song, Ophelia, is popular more than most. At my daughter's veterinarin hospital they made their own version of this music video...

    I'm a Del Toro fan and a Frankenstein fan.

    October 17th. I'd rather pay $$$ at the theater than give Netflix one dime. It's supposed to be very close to Mary Shelly's book.
