    What's the deal with smelling and tasting the oil?

    I see these TV mechanics smelling and actually tasting the oil off the dipstick. I suppose you might be able to smell a burned smell. What the heck are they trying to figure out by doing this and what gives off a red flag in the smell and or taste?

    Hagerty let the cat out of the bag.

    You know I'm a fan of the '73-'75 Grand Ams. I was always happy the car flew under the radar. Now Hagerty has called it out as one of the few cars that have appreciated. There are some Mopars in there too. 9 Big Winners from the Big Three in the Latest Price Guide - Hagerty Media

    Thunderbirds today.

    It's graduation day at the US Air Force Academy. The Thunderbirds practiced yesterday and the main show is today. They have a valley between the Rocky Mountains on the west and an upsweep on the east. I live at the top of that upsweep. I-25 runs through the valley and it's illegal to stop on...

    I need to contact a moderator For C Bodies Only.

    I'm registered and it won't let me post. It.says I need to verify through email but none show up. I can't use the contact button either. Aren't the owners the same? i.e. Joeycho?

    This is the stuff I bought at the Mopar driveway sale.

    Everything was $3/each. A lot of the chrome is Imperial interior and grill stuff. The rest is going to the scrappers tomorrow.

    Stupid things men do. What's yours?

    I watched a couple of videos, one was about motorcycle hill climbs. They essentially turn their back tire into a chainsaw with 3" bolts then go up a hill where the bike always flips back onto them. Then I saw 3 men shoot machine guns at a huge stack of propane and oxygen bottles causing huge...

    I'm going to support BLM.

    Not that BLM. The Bureau of Land Management. There are several horse and burro adoption events in Colorado. We've got 20 acres that could support a couple of horses. There are just too many wild horses out here in the West. It's better than killing them. I talked to a director today and the...

    Widow Sells a Huge Mopar Parts collection.

    The Mopar club notified its members a widow was selling all her husband's Mopar stuff. I'm not the guy who can look at weird parts and know what they go to. Everything was $3/each. I got a few things. Tuesday it all goes for scrap metal.

    Speedmaster helped me out.

    A few months ago my home was burglarized. They stole some expensive watches and one SBC aluminum head. I figure I interrupted the theft because they only got one head. Now I understand Speedmaster is Chinese stuff but it was going in my daughter's POS 1981 BumbleBee Camaro. Today they bent...

    B movie with a good car chase scene.

    It's on Prime right now. Wake of Death. A fairly lame Jean Claude Van Damme movie. The first five minutes show a car chase that is later expanded much later in the movie. It has a white fourth Gen Z28 which you don't see very often. It gets destroyed but the action is real, no CGI. The last...

    Jobs women don't want.

    I don't know about the offshore rigs but the rest I do. That first guy covered in drilling mud is setting the tongs. Usually, it's a two-man job but it is that dirty and you have to move that fast and know how to throw your whole weight into it. Next, that guy is what we call throwing the...

    I'm looking forward to Mad Max Furiosa.

    Since it's a prequel it will have Immortan Joe. It was played by Hugh Keays-Byrne, who also played the villain Toe Cutter in the original Mad Max movie. Since Hugh-Byrne passed away after Fury Road it's played by a new actor who also needed to portray Immortan Joe as a younger person. The...

    I had the little skin cancer thingy removed. Wow.

    I had a little spot on my forehead, kinda like a zit but it wasn't going away. I had it checked last week. Yep, skin cancer. My sister had a couple of spots removed, no big deal. Part of being a fair-skinned Norwegian. So I go in expecting a scar like my sister's, a couple of mm across. No...
