I'll never forget watching a new 1970 Trans Am running an autocross at Penn State back in the day. Beautiful car, and the handling was pretty amazing. Then a local redneck kid in a 340 Duster beat the time. That guy could really drive.

There was a seven page thread posted here last summer about my getting a moving violation with my GTX while attending the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals the prior year. I appeared on my own behalf, and won. If I'd paid another lawyer of equal competence to represent me, the cost would have been...

When I was a corporate attorney, I sometimes did these cases for strategic reasons. The cost of my time was always far above the cost of the citation.

Greatest fear I had while on the road was the possibility of a bad medical event in the middle of nowhere. Ironically, most of the guys I knew who drove until old age died in a hospital.

You had an amazing run, people outside the industry can't really comprehend what it takes to go 5 million miles. I'm a relative lightweight, retiring at 69, with 2 million. Your body sent you a message, and it sounds like you are listening to to it, and making a good move going forward. You've...

Baby Blue was QQ1, matched to the original paint in the door jambs, engine compartment, and trunk floor. Unique color, nothing like B5 or B7, and as stated earlier, showed differently depending on lighting. Car was pointed in 1985 with PPG lacquer base and clear. Shown 30 years later, cracks...

Probably looks way better in pictures than in a close visual inspection. I'd be willing to bet it hasn't been able to pass a magnet test. As I posted earlier, don't pay for red and a four speed, unless that's your thing. That combo comes at steep markup.

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...
