    What was the first car you remember falling in love with?

    I know the exact moment I became a car guy. '62 Thunderbird. I was 6 years old. I was playing in a sandbox, and the neighbor had a toy model of this car. Before that toy cars were just lumps of pot metal or wind up toys with details printed on them. I had a toy Ford with the wind-up...

    Wacky Races, live action movie.

    Did you watch Wacky Races as a kid? 1968 Saturday morning cartoon. There were so many car-based cartoons back then. Tom Slick, Speed Racer, Motormouse and Autocat, Hot Wheels, Speedbuggy, Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch. The trailer looks crazy for Wacky Races.

    My friend advised me to pour a crankcase full of old oil on the floor.

    The '70 Coronet is sitting outside waiting its turn. I'm sure the oil would stop rust but it seems weird to me. Not sure the smell would ever go away. Have you ever heard of this?

    Have you done or seen any cool license plate projects?

    My son has welded up some interesting metal odds and ends as gifts in the past. I got rid of most of my junk metal but I do have lots of licence plates from cars bought in the past. Any ideas?

    April Rose going over her gifted Buick GNX

    Hoovie gave his wife Aprill her dream car. She's all excited going over the car's details, not paying any attention to all the downblouse shots, but I was. The video isn't copying for me but it's called He gave me a broken GNX and left. So funny in The Grownups movie when she played the...

    OMG mechanic prices!

    We could never get the timing right on the original 327 in the '66 Corvette. Tried lots of the things that were suggested but no luck. I finally bit the bullet and went to talk to a local shop. He said it would be months before he could look at and suggested finding an old timer through a...

    Man, be careful getting back on the roads after drifting off the pavement

    Tonight we had a 3-car crash just north of us. Four folks DOA. Reminded me of my sister's crash just this time of year. A family of three in an 90's Duster got jerked back onto the road and it yanked them broadside into her Sequoia. Dad, Mom, and Son all killed immediately. My sister's husband...

    Prettiest wrap I've ever seen.

    On a new Hummer EV. I looked at the production site and they didn't have this color so I'm saying it's a custom wrap. At a distance, I didn't even know what vehicle it was. It was like a luminous bronze, like it was lit from within. As it drove past me, it changed to a glowing emerald green...

    Mouse proofing for winter storage? There's not a lot of mice here but...

    ...something that's not terribly stinky. We also get a lot of Garter snakes in the spring, although their population is going down. Brandma at 95 is a vicious snake killer.

    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.
