This, and more garage space so I have a place to keep it! 1969 Dodge Hemi Coronet R/T Convertible For Sale At Auction - Mecum Auctions

This guy only made it 1 hour with his new car purchase before getting his car impounded and him getting taken to the gray-bar hotel! MSN I’ve had the opposite experience since buying a new Scat Pack a year and a half ago. In 7000 miles of driving so far I’ve only hit 100 mph max and have to...

This will be the second time CMC is hosting the annual winter swap at this location. It’s a brand new facility that Bettenhausen just opened in the last couple years and is very nice. Just a block west of 355 tollway so easy to find. The swap meet is on Super Bowl Sunday, but generally...

To clarify, most of the cars at MCACN have never been in the show before, but cars sometimes have been shown 2 times over the years. That is sort of the rule, though exceptions are made to that if a previously shown car fits in with a special feature. The B5 hemi 69 Coronet vert, the F6 hemi...

I didn't grow up by an air force base, but I did grow up under the flight path of the Glenview Naval air station. Transients from all services, including the USAF stopped in regularly for fuel or a weekend visit. And planes were stationed there for the Chicago air show every year, along with...

@72sunroof I saw your post on Moparts that you’re trying to get in touch with Remy-Z. Being off season maybe he’s not checking in much on car forums these days. He’d tried to track you down not long after you first posted in September, so I’m sure he’d like to get you your keys back. By...

Even here in IL gas prices at some stations are cheapest I’ve seen in years. Shocking disparity though, I’ve seen everything from $2.77 to $3.69 for regular at various area stations. Figures, I’m not doing much driving now! I drove my Scat Pack for the last time in 2025 the day after...

I haven’t heard of that and you’d think if it started nearly a year ago we’d have heard. 20 years ago I worked for less than a year at an automotive seal manufacturer. One thing I was told when I worked there was that natural rubber is not used very much anymore. Most “rubber” products...

I’ve got too many hobbies I think. At any given time I really only focus on one or two and the rest are on the back burner. My main passions are cars and aviation. Also I have hobbies that are offshoots of those 2. Like photography, I mostly photograph cars and planes! And build and collect...

Finally finished sorting and editing my pictures from the big show. Since I work there I have trouble actually getting around and seeing everything, so if I missed someone’s car I probably just didn’t see it in my bouncing around the convention center for 4 days! I first volunteered to work the...

The first restoration shop I had my car at during its 15 year ordeal, the guy said you should pour clean Dextron trans fluid inside doors and quarters and such as a rust preventative. Then park the car on a plastic sheet for awhile, until it stops oozing fluid all over the place. I never did try...

I have got some good cash back deals over the years. After I bought my Ram, I kept getting emails about a Ram Mastercard, with an offer to give you $100 cash back if you made a purchase at a CDJR dealership within a month of getting the card. I timed signing up until I was about due to get an...

According to Discover I hit 850 around 6 or 7 years ago. Interestingly, my different credit cards that offer you the option to check your score on their sites show different credit scores for me. Wouldn’t they all be the same, apparently they get their info from different credit bureaus or...

I got a picture capturing most of your display!

I registered for OE judging of my T/A in 2018, and since I work the show I was not with my car all day. The judges were supposed to call me when they got to my car so I could come over and open doors and the trunk etc. I was sitting at my station all day stressing out awaiting the call and...
