    Older movies you watched lately.....?

    I saw a good scary movie called The Reaping. A supernatural flick with some biblical overtones. A good cast: Hillary Swank and Idris Elba. It wa on a new channel called Howdy. So far, no commercials. 2007.

    Super popular Halloween treat.

    I went to my son's and his wife's home for Halloween. They had lots of regular candy, but the new thing they did was noodles! So there's a show called K Pop Demon Hunters. I still don't understand all of it, but there's a big connection with noodles. They gave out packs of noodles with the K Pop...

    Are you a 0-60 guy or a top speed guy?

    I'm a 0-60 guy. I love burnouts too. Super fast stuff always scares me.

    Proving My Mopar Street Cred... now prove yours

    Dang, I forgot about my first car. A first gen Barracuda. This must have been '71-'72. My dad was at an auction and there was a white one. It wouldn't start. Dad put the AT in reverse and it started. I think Dad paid $5. It had a V8 and a 4 bbl. I took it around a corner at 15 years old, and it...

    SRT6 Crossfire with a wing.

    I've always kind of liked Crossfires, even with Top Gear's dog pooping joke. I like it better with the wing. Looks Porscherist. This was in a Hagerty article on spoilers.

    Still confused on my 727 Torque Converter problem. With pictures.

    Not seeing one on ebay. So will a 90 degree flex plate and TC work with my older 727 and '71 383. Are the 90 degree ones the big gold ones with a half moon chunk missing?

    Proving My Mopar Street Cred... now prove yours

    I have all brands of cars and trucks. The farthest Mopar love I can think back to is watching Vanishing Point in 1971 at the drive-in and saying I'll own a Challenger one someday. Bought one in 2008 for $5000. It was a non-running 318 3 speed manual. It's been finished for a long time. Now a...

    Still confused on my 727 Torque Converter problem. With pictures.

    I talked to a transmission guy and he said what I have is a 90 degree TC. I need the offset one. Sorry I used the term flex plate when I meant pressure plate. So do I need to put on an externally balanced TC? I have a 1971 Charger 500 with a 383. Fixed it in the original post.

    Still confused on my 727 Torque Converter problem. With pictures.

    I got raked over the coals for not asking for help from you guys before I bought it. It's supposed to be a lightly used, after it's rebuilt 727 big block trans. I had to drive from Colorado Springs to Albuquerque to get it. The problem showed up during installation. My flex plate is slightly...

    Snow tonight?

    Our grass gets as green as anyone's in the summer, but I mow about 4-5 times a year. I stopped buying batteries for the riding lawnmower. They were expensive and never survived more than one season. Now I fill up the portable air tank, top off the tires, and jump the mower with the truck...

    Snow tonight?

    You know I like the cold. Isn't that the idea in the Disney movie Frozen? Sorry, I have a daughter that watched Disney all the time. I mean, I wish for 55 degrees year-round but give me cold over too much heat. “Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær”

    Weird non Mopars you like?

    When Mom passes (she's 95.) I plan on buying the ranch, therefore I'll have to pay 2/3rds to my brother and sister. That can get expensive. If I sell ALL my cars for that, so be it. All my money decisions are made to give my kids the most financial stability I can leave them. I also live as...

    Weird non Mopars you like?

    Nothing wrong with making money on cars. Especially when it goes into another car of greater value. You can't drive gold or stocks. I've always made money on cars. Lot's of people ask how to do it. What I say is you make money when you buy it. Meaning you can't overpay at the beginning...

    Weird non Mopars you like?

    I think part of the point of my question was, weird cars cost less. They appreciate less also. The best case is, weird now, mainstream later. $ to $$$$. Trucks and early SUVs have been on fire. Some are now going now. 90's stuff is hot as well as, like always, Ferraris, Porsches, etc. The...

    Snow tonight?

    A front is moving in. Low of 28 tonight. The news says snow in Monument, where I am. I-70, Colorado's main east-west corridor, is already closed due to blowing snow. It's only a couple of days early. It usually snows on Halloween night.
