I've been around the block on this, attending the largest show in my area on a yearly basis, when town next to me shuts down the courthouse square. My motivation is the opportunity to catch up with people who I don't see unless I attend. I almost quit going, after I was parked under a tree...

Drivers for Reliable are like the cars they haul, remnants of a past era when muscle cars roamed the streets, and good experienced truck drivers made as much as a doctor or lawyer. They make that level of money today, because their responsibilities rise to the same level.

I try to avoid judged shows. For a few years I was making the rounds with three high school classmates. Two of them were obsessed with trophies, and took the fun out of it. I have a box of trophies I won with my former A33 car, which was a crowd pleaser, but not nearly as nice as the current...

Happy birthday, Dennis, and many more!:bday::bday:

Back in the day, I was always scraping off loose sections on my daily drivers. The pockets would catch salt laden road slush and hold it, far worse than having no coating at all.

This makes me appreciate my primary care doctor even more. She is a proponent of lifestyle modifications before medications, but is pretty sharp about tweaking meds to get the desired result with the minimum of drugs. She also goes outside the rails to see her regular patients on short notice...

I had a similar experience, further down the food chain, when my primary care doctor of 15 years retired six years ago. She was thorough, and could always tie lab results to what was going on in my daily routine. Shortly before retiring, she put me on daily low dose aspirin, called for by the...

I got to be an expert on breaking into Mack trucks during my corporate tour. The old R models were too easy, pop the vent wing window inside out, grab the inside door handle, and then bump the terminals on the starter relay with a quarter. The non ecm diesel engines would run without...

I’ve put this up before, I was horrified when I went to law school 45 years ago, medical student living in married student housing next to me said same deal in his profession. I graduated bottom of my class while driving the truck to pay for it, can’t tell the good ones by class rank alone, but...

Happy birthday and many more! :bday::bday:

My 440 GTX was owned by the local Plymouth dealer for 15 years, and he modified the cam, but not in the usual way. He replaced the stock high performance 268/284 unit with the milder cam used in non Road Runner 383 four barrel cars, and 440 powered station wagons, which were rated at 350...

The place for autographs is the FBBO tent at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in July. Hawk and Pistol Pete have brought the club luncheon on Saturday to an amazing level. I drive my GTX to the event every year, just one of many member cars making the trek. The two GTXs on my left are also FBBO...

Welcome from PA. Nice score, not many that solid in your neck of the woods. I worked in northwest Indiana in the 90s, daily drove a couple rust free desert 60s Imperials that used get a lot of attention, with the lack of rust. I've owned four '69 GTXs, factory black car is about as good as it...

When I was terminated from my management consultant deal in a final round of layoffs, I was asked to remain as a driver, with credit for accrued benefits, no severance. I politely asked to review the severance package before making a decision. It was an easy choice, and hard to keep a straight...

I would recommend you seek advice from an employment lawyer where you live.

One of my trucking buddies, who is a hard core Ford guy swears by them. He paid $3200 for his current one, spent $200 to fix the climate control assembly, now it drives like a new car.

I got 20 mpg out of my first GTX when I drove it 600 miles to Myrtle Beach on my honeymoon in 1977, back in the 55 mph days. That engine ran extremely lean, tail pipes burned white on the interior. Baby Blue would do 16 mpg if I stayed out of it, but my buddy Bob had tuned the daylights out of...

The last five years I ran my tractor trailer, I figured my operating costs at about 85 cents per mile, variation up or down with fuel price fluctuations, my highest expense. Cost for a smaller truck produce prices at the lower end of the spectrum. An enclosed trailer, operated by high end...

My fifth GTX was a stock rebuild, with the exception of a Hemi grind purple shaft cam. I bought the car in Iowa in 2016, flew out, and drove it back to Pennsylvania, 1400 miles. Good test of octane results. In Iowa, the best I could get was 91, and the car ran, but slight problem of run on...

Wife had one in college. Her family tree destroys anything mechanical. That one held up.
