    Is your son a better mechanic than you?

    I was never a mechanic but I've fixed some thing myself. My son Bryce is not a mechanic either but he has a mechanic's brain. When helping him decide what to major in, in college I told him his talent is figuring out solutions. Now he's a board-certified Mechanical Engineer. For instance, our...

    There's auctions and then there's AUCTIONS!

    It seems every car platform has an auction part now. Used to be Mecum and Barrett-Jackson. Maybe Bring a Trailer. Now Hagerty, Cars & Bids Hemmings, Barn Finds etc. all have auctions. We as buyers need to find the bargain auctions without the high rollers with low reserves or better yet no...

    The coyotes, deer and raccoons always stop by for a snack.

    If it's meat-related, the coyotes/foxes get there first. I guess their noses pick up on it. I forgot about the carnivorous birds. I'll throw out a couple of handfuls of dry dog food, and they're on it fast and thoroughly. Magpies, Crows and Jays. (As we say in Oklahoma, like a duck on a June...

    If an engine is sitting for decades...

    ...would you expect to find some gas in the engine oil? Or is that a problem that needs to be addressed?

    I received my original Grand Am artwork from an artist in the U.K.

    You guys know I love '73 Grand Ams. This guy sent an original painting to me for about $70 inc. shipping. I'm going to try to commission more art. He included some stickers and a Camaro billfold for free. There's a glare on the cellophane. I'm going to keep it that way until it's framed...

    Is there some rule of thumb for shipping a car?

    Like for every 100 miles it costs this much. Approximately.

    Share your Fall photographs.

    Yesterday I took some photos of a buck and a few does in our yard. The neighbor sent back this one with deer and Aspen trees. I liked it. The Mule Deer are so tame here. Elk and Pronghorns (Antelope) less so. Elk in Estes Park, CO. are so tame they're a nuisance.

    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...
