    Feel bad for this guy

    I'll have to find which issue, but I think it was my last Hemmings that did an aritcle on these types of "priceless" and "irreplaceable" cars. $1,000,000 policy? Costs $300,000 to rebuild it? Guess what's going to happen. The cars in this catagory dont get totalled.

    My wifes take on driving my Ram through the garage this morning..

    Actually, believe it or not, there are three of these things running around here. I know a guy who owns one of them. His truck and my truck were on the lot at the same time. The other I saw might have been passing through as I saw it out on the bypass shortly after buying mine. - - - Updated...

    Any tank nuts here? WW1, WW2 Korea, Vietnam?

    This is a great application of a Ford GAA Tank Engine. Crica 1942, 1100 cu. in., 4valves/cylinder, dual magnetos, overhead cam. Nice technology for the day. I'm sure some of y'all have seen this video, but its still pretty awsome... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1E_OBPpEVs

    My wifes take on driving my Ram through the garage this morning..

    This is the "wife". You guys are very nice to be so concerned. What a great group of people. I have a great hubby who has been very reassuring yesterday and today even though I feel awful. I'm pretty sore and beat up, case of whiplash to say the least, but mostly thankful I did not end up...

    My wifes take on driving my Ram through the garage this morning..

    It would've been split between the house and the auto. I have a large deductible on my auto to keep the premiums down. The estimate on the truck (yes that was quick) was about $1,500. Mostly for paint and a new condensor. Thats just barely over my deductible, so I already got a check for a...

    My wifes take on driving my Ram through the garage this morning..

    The majority of the scratches y'all see in the pics are from owning the car for 27+ years. The only scratches I could see from todays incident are two small dents on the trunk by the key where one of the garage door section hinges got pushed into it. Once I backed the car out you couldnt...

    My wifes take on driving my Ram through the garage this morning..

    As reqeusted...the carnage. - - - Updated - - - You must push in the clutch to start the truck. However, it also pays to make sure it is in neutral before exiting the vehicle. My bride missed the second part. Plus she "right legged" it, which I have done many times.

    My wifes take on driving my Ram through the garage this morning..

    Now my wife has started my truck for me every morning when we go to the gym. She takes my gym bag, puts it in my truck and fires it up and heads for the gym. I'm usually right behind her. She was raised on a standard. She knows how to drive my truck. But this morning, things happened a little...

    spark seems weak

    I just replaced the ignition system on my 71 383 with a Mallory Unilite and related paraphernalia. With my key in the "on" position I get roughly 8v at the coil, which is what I was told I should get (stock or otherwise). One of the kickers was the type of coil used. If I used a coil with a...

    Autozone Checkout Fun

    My local Advance Auto is managed by a highschool friend and the commercial accounts by another highschool friend. They can usually find me anything I need, even aftermarket (like my Mallory ingnition system). He will match prices (paid Summit pricesand got to pick it up local). He has trained...
