    Believe it or Not.......the facts don't lie.

    I can't remember the last time having a battery lasting more than five-years. A few went a bit less. I disconnect the one in my '63 as weeks might go by before starting it and months over winter. Could be older batteries were better, who knows? Yeah, there's tons more electronics in newer...

    Excessive brake pedal travel

    With a partner pressing the pedal, watch the action of the pads, are they working smoothly, no binding and releasing freely? Came across a simple problem once where the pads weren’t deburred or guides lubed. As mentioned, pedal ratio, though shouldn’t be a problem unless having converted from...

    Show Series on Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc.

    There’s probably some threads on this topic, but in case here’s another one. Just watched the first season of a show called Territory on Netflix. Only six episodes. Ended on a cliffhanger. WTH, the show has been cancelled despite having good viewership in the top-10 series for the year for...

    How airtight were b-bodies when new?

    With my '63 Fury vert, think it leaks more with the top up than down if driving fast enough. Well it gets a few chuckles when I have occasion to mention it.

    Crappy cars that have become classics.

    Sure wish I had my Cuda, but I have a story many now geezer car guys have about letting a ride that was our daily transport go before we knew what we had or would become. It ran great, reliable, fast enough for my thrill, and the doors were the least of my worries (other than passengers thinking...

    Crappy cars that have become classics.

    When owning a ’70 Cuda in ’72, and later buying a new ’73 Challenger, I recall the doors being tinny. They rattled when closed. I’d tell my future wife at the time don’t slam the doors. Her t-bird and my GTO doors were more solid sounding having tighter feel.

    Something happened after leaving a car show.

    You are exactly right. How I have such fantastic memories playing with my dad, company outings and such, dang good player, better than I was until age took its toll. He liked to play for some coin, he said it kept him sharper. So on a bad round I forked out maybe 5-bucks, lol. The golf partner I...

    Something happened after leaving a car show.

    Lol, oh yeah, always funny when it’s you and not so much when it’s them. Ok, all in fun if the guys you’re playing with aren’t too serious. Man, the endless stories I could talk about. Had a boss who thought his golfing skills were better than they were. Being wealthy, he relished making...

    Something happened after leaving a car show.

    On this topic, used to be a golf nut, haven’t played in over 10-years, gee, maybe 15 now. When I have the gumption, always have some other things to do. Spending 4-5-hours, or longer on the course doesn’t appeal to me and worse, is remembering all the times people were in a rush behind me and...

    Something happened after leaving a car show.

    Not at all. Just that when someone launches their ball into a parking lot and hearing some nasty noises, last thing they want to do is go searching the parking lot for it, first reaction is to walk in another direction pretending it wasn’t him/her having hit that ball. If one is paying a...

    Overheating issue

    You might check out the search feature on this site, cooling/overheating issues are a common posting with many tips on solutions. IMO, before getting too deep, look at the elementary things first. As you point out, a collapsing lower hose isn’t good. Getting a correct one is important, proper...

    Got a free hose real

    Sweet! And a Cadillac (sorry, Imperial) setup. I'm going to work on a reel for my air hose just pulling down and old wheel from the garage attic. I've had it up there for almost 30-years. Now to engineer the wheel to contain the hose, axle, etc. and maybe good to go. Yeah AMAZED what some...

    Muscle car....?????

    Yeah, those SD’s were beasts, underrated, with some goodies in the trunk the dealer could install. Bud of my elder brother and him, dropped one of those 421’s he got from a wreck in his ’66 Lemans leaving the original motor badging on it. He surprised those who took the bait. Another guy we knew...

    Do you have any weird first names in your family?

    You take the cake on names in your family compared to mine, far as I know. Though speaking of unusual names, do have fond memories of a gal I dated in HS having a twin-sister. Inga and Marga. They came to the US from Sweden. I dated Marga, mostly I think. They found it humorous to switch...

    Old guy still working on his car

    Welcome and sorry to hear how you got shafted. Had something similar happen, but not nearly as bad as yours. The investigating police were grilling me about my being the possible culprit boiling my blood and they never found squat, despite leads others had I gave them! I’m an old guy who worked...
