I have sold a few of my fleet of old 80's and 90's junkers over the years. Story time! The first thing I ever sold, was the old 79 f250 farm truck. It was at it's end rust wise, although it looked ok, the bed floor was swiss cheese and every panel had "spots", along with bad valve guides...

They lost me when they claimed the electric is more efficient then the diesel. That statement skips so many steps in the process it is laughable. "Electric motors can last 100 years" Sorry no. And a situation where they could last that long is similar to any machinery, with maint. and...

Talking Dad into it is a hard sell already. Unless Dad is looking for one already, Dads have bigger fish to fry, usually. Like mortgage payments and a family to care for. If that car was in WI, the price would be a smokin deal for the area. Need to see if the body work is legit. If the paint...

It's cool. Costs twice as much as my Dakota did.

Wife isn't into vehicles like I am. But she will let me know her opinions. " I like this truck." (with a giggle, the 2001 Ram after I replaced the entire exhaust with stainless dual magnaflow) "Don't drive so fast." 2013 Charger "You need to fix the radio." Dakota "No." The 351 swapped 1984...

I can put a couple, some of these are really fast-got home from work after 11 hours-I am hungry now type things, some are weekend things. Hot Pastrami on rye in seconds: Get some marble rye, or pumpernickle if you like. Slightly thick cut is better for this. Pastrami. If you can get some...

Try the Famous Daves brand of dill chips and spicy chips. I prefer the regular or mild heat ones. They make a devils spit but they are hot enough to overpower what you put them on, I pass on those.

I was going to in my younger days. My older brother was gifted an honest to goodness actual Huffy BMX circuit quality bike. I got it when he got what was probably one of the first widely available mountain bikes, and then my younger bothers got it. I kept it around for a long while, and a...

You bought a 401 Wildcat that looks to need zero body work and a clean interior, buckets+console, CONVERTIBLE for $1500. That would be a once in a lifetime buy 35 years ago, much less now. I will give you $2000 for it. Cash money :) I am kidding. That is a righteous burnouts Friday...

If you know exactly what you have.... Propylene Glycol type coolant = biodegradable. This can go down the storm drain without any issue. Many modern coolants are this type. BUT YOU NEED TO VERIFY. Ethylene Glycol(typical green) = NO. This is a petrol based product and should be disposed of at...

There is a reason I had the second line at the bottom of my post.....

Guess I will settle for a measly 400-450HP. Can build that mostly at home.

It is not for man to judge if another has asked for forgiveness and truly believes in the savior. God is the judge. But yeah he prolly pretty hot right now.

Rawk Hawk. My best bud went by Karate Falcon. Far as I know, besides a random trucker, we were the only two with a CB in like 50 miles. Of course, by the 90's these were things we found at a rummage sale to put in our beater cars. One classmate had a Ranger with an antenna on the back bumper...
