Awesome history! Thanks for being a caretaker.

I use a Monarch bolt in system with the original floor mounted gas pedal in my '69 GTX, and it works well. Prior owner of one of my former cars had the system in his GTX and recommended it. Seems to be easier bolt in than changing the pedal configuration. I bought the used assembly on ebay for...

During my four decades in the tank truck business, I soon figured out that the top 10% of drivers generated the bulk of the profits. The process was driven by the ability to unload difficult cargo in a timely manner, and thus increase the percentage of loaded miles within regulatory and customer...

It's worse with a tractor trailer, and really bad with a top heavy bulk tanker, or an unbaffled liquid tank with a slosh load. During my corporate tour I taught a defensive driving class during new hire orientation. All new employees attended, whether drivers or not. The key to avoiding a roll...

My attorney charges thousands of dollars, to save clients tens of thousands. Seems like a good deal to me, but my wife has always cried over the amount of the invoice.

My '69 with factory disc brakes has the original, but the car is a freak.

Not a Charger, but my 1969 GTX was a company car for the local Plymouth dealer for 15 years. It stayed on the floor plan for three years, until the bank made him purchase it in 1972. It was then titled to the dealership, and still ran dealer plates until it was sold in 1983. When I finally...

I had both my temperature and fuel readings go bad, but I got lucky that they failed at different times, so I was able to rule out the voltage limiter. I went through three temperature sending units which wouldn't read correctly, two of them later Mopar NOS, finally bought some old used OEM from...

When I was in private practice, I would advise potential clients with poor cases not to expect to win. I often got the reply, "it's a matter of principle." My response was always, "this is what it will cost you, and I need payment in advance." It didn't take long until I was driving a truck again.

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:
