    The Prince of Darkness won't be down for breakfast

    Growing up in the 70s Black Sabbath was a huge influence on us rockers. I saw Sabbath in concert a few times circa 1980 but Dio had replaced him as frontman at the time. I regret I never got to see him either solo or with Sabbath. His memory lives on!

    Do you have any weird first names in your family?

    My mom’s maiden name is Penn and she was one of two siblings, both girls. So my aunt named her son Penn to carry on the family name to an extent. My cousin doesn’t have a totally unique name, Penn Gillette of Penn and Teller shows there’s at least 2 Penns out there. Though not related to me...

    Holley Moparty / National Hemi Owners Association Reunion 2025

    I’m registered for the show, I don’t have a hemi though. Planning to take my Magnum, after chickening out about trailering it there last year due to the bad rain forecasts. Though miraculously the skies ending up parting and the weather was mostly good (still went but drove my Scat Pack). Wish...

    Vehicle break-ins at Columbus OH hotel during car show

    Be careful if traveling to the nats next month! Getting scary to travel anywhere these days.

    Something happened after leaving a car show.

    This situation brings out a lot of bad memories for me. One of my other vices is flying. My flying club keeps its planes in hangers located across an access road from what until recently was a resort with a golf course. I’d find golf balls on the ramp by the hangers all the time. One day I...

    Yup, flooding down in Texas....

    Flooding is terrible enough, but hearing about all those little kids at summer camp missing and presumably swept away by the floods is heartbreaking.

    Has anyone had homeowners insurance cancelled?

    I regularly get flyers on my door for “free” roof inspections for possible hail damage. We had a bad storm in the area last summer which fortunately the worst of passed not far south of me. We just had some pebble sized hail and power out about 12 hours on my block. A few weeks later I was...

    WTF is it with Subaru Drivers?

    I have a niece who when she started college had a serious boyfriend, and when she graduated, had and still has a serious girlfriend. A few years ago my mom decided to decrease her assets by giving family members some of her appreciated stocks. My niece quickly sold her Apple stock she was gifted...

    Newer cars are stupid.

    My beater is a '14 Dart I bought new. It's been fairly reliable and served me well over the years. I'm up to 133K miles and live in the rust belt, and the car still looks pretty good with no rust so I can't complain, much. Like most here I'm sure, I watch a lot of car related videos on YouTube...

    Bobby Sherman won't be down for breakfast

    Interesting timing with this news for me. Last week I was watching a rerun of Emergency on MeTV where the plot centered around a headstrong young doctor who was being condescending to Gage and Desoto, but had an attitude adjustment after he was assigned to do a ride along with the paramedics...

    Live Music (Bands or Groups that you saw personally)

    I’m with you there! I’ve got messed up feet and a few of the shows I’ve been to in recent years everyone insisted on standing the whole show and it got real uncomfortable for me, I’d have to sit and stare at the person in front of me’s butt from time to time. I can remember going to stadium...

    Live Music (Bands or Groups that you saw personally)

    In my teens and early 20s I saw lots of concerts, and even through my 20s I saw a number of shows before my friends got older and lost their enthusiasm to go out much. A few years ago, a 100 year old beautiful but falling apart movie theater in the village next to mine got restored to a music...

    "Please S T O P saying this" thread.

    That’s the point, communication in aviation is tightly controlled to prevent misunderstandings. And if people in general were more disciplined in their use of the English language by not changing it or inventing new definitions and usage all the time, there would be far fewer misunderstandings...

    "Please S T O P saying this" thread.

    For a time now everything has been “awesome” but now that seems to be changing to “perfect”. Not sure how this evolution of the English language happens. Aviation is one of the hats I wear. One thing I like in aviation is that the terminology in aviation is rigidly controlled. Controllers and...

    "Please S T O P saying this" thread.

    One that’s been getting on my nerves lately is mostly written, but spreading into verbal communications, is this trend of breaking a short sentence into each word having a period after it, I guess for emphasis. Like it makes whatever platitude you’re babbling about really deep. So it’d be “Stop...

    So sick of rain!

    Wish you could send some here. We’re in a moderate drought. It has been abnormally cool here this spring. So much for global warming I guess. We had next to no snow last winter too. I’ve enjoyed this weather for recent car events for sure!

    What's it Worth WIW Coronet R/T convertible

    They seem to have a bit of a different business model for selling then other brokers I have heard about. You tell them what you want for your car, and they then mark up that price and market the car, when it sells they earn whatever they get above what you agreed to as your selling price. Most...
