    IL, Greenville (St. Louis area) Car Show June 15 with Donna Douglas

    They don't really have classes. There are judges that will give away plaques to the top 50 cars, and there is a Mayor's Award, Miss Bond County Award, and Donna Douglas Award that these people pick themselves.

    Pentastar Emblem

    I have heard the curbside story, and I have heard another explanation. It was a subtle way to let the passenger know they were getting into a Chrysler Corporation car when they walked up to it. It was reasoned that the driver already knew it was a Chrysler car as they were most likely the...

    New to forums and car-resto, any tips?

    Hello there Illinois! What part of the state are you in, the good part or the bad part? :icon_lol: Or, to ask it another way, are you a Cubs fan or Cards fan? In answer to your question about the engine, since you already have it out of the car it is generally easier to work on it then. I...

    What's the Best Car Song????

    Kathy Mattea's 455 Rocket is the all time best car song. Sorry guys, I'm an old Olds fan from way back. "Who's junk pile piece of Chhheeeevellle is this?" http://youtu.be/kQZV6q00sUc Honorable mention to Network-Back in America "So I'm coming home, where the Chryslers roam!"

    I am Freakin' Starving...

    Congrats cr8crshr on the happy colon! Good luck on the others but I'm sure they're no sweat. I had almost the exact same thing happen to me back then too, except mine was a kidney issue that they said I needed a clean GI to get a good xray. At the Dr office the nurse told me, "I gotta give...

    permit test

    Congrats! Just one of the first of life's many tests, but it is a big one. The world is much more fun with wheels under ya. In Illinois they make people take the driving test every year after they turn 80. So they get you at both ends....of life that is.

    need advice on white letter tires

    I had forgotten about Dunlop, haven't seen them in a long time. They used to be made by Goodyear, and I think they still are. I'll have to check into them.

    need advice on white letter tires

    Have you ever tried the BF Goodrich Radial TA? They are far worse in my opinion on wet roads. In fact, I think they are downright dangerous when they are on pickups. That is what I'm getting at with the technology issue. None of the raised white letter tires still made are going to be great...

    need advice on white letter tires

    BF Goodrich/Michelin doesn't make the Radial TA themselves anymore, they sold the molds to Coker Tire a couple of years ago. I was never impressed with them, even when BF Goodrich made them. I think they were a good tire 30 years ago, but technology has long since caught up with them. They...

    Make your meat look and taste like meat....

    The other day my girlfriend said she wanted some bacon wrapped wieners. I wonder if this is what she meant?

    Baseball Bin Berry Berry Goot To Me...Diamond Smack Thread!

    Al, I was too young to remember the '68 series, but lots of people around here still talk about it. We kinda feel '06 was a little bit of payback lol. I think you'll have the better team this year. If Verlander gets ironed out and the rest of the pitching stays healthy I think the Tigers...

    ROCKWELL..... for your listening pleasure

    That is hands down my vote for the worst song of the 70's. She reminds me a lot of Wing:http://youtu.be/IoYrBdw-aDg

    What are the best car names

    How about Le Car? I think in french it translates to "you just got screwed!"

    Man pays 14K property taxes in rolled coins and dollar bills.....

    Rusty, sorry to disagree with you, but you've got it backwards. What the law says is that anyone in the US can demand payment in US dollars if they so desire, and the person who owes the debt has to pay in dollars. It is not the other way around. There is no law that says anyone has to take...
