    Does a person with a perfect credit rating exist??

    It's not just payment history and credit liability. It's also based on future credit customers. The credit bureau's after all are payed by creditors.

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    We lost our mother in law last night. She was the eldest, but also the last of the "Silent Generation." She was just short of 95. So now it's up to us late Boomers and GenX. This life is going WAY too fast.

    WHAT IS YOUR SKILL SET WORTH?

    Currently? $55/hr base if employed who pays 1/2 SSA, bulk of health insurance, and overhead. $55/hr x 2 if as subcontractor. $55/hr x3 as general contract. Of course this is VERY fluid depending on circumstances. (And current NEED) But it's at least my measuring stick.

    Is your son a better mechanic than you?

    My son was decent with a wrench. His first job was oil mechanic at our local gas station at 16. But he never had the interests in car culture. He's working sales in the construction HVAC industry. It's a different era. With different interests. But the kids are very well aware of the value and...

    8 year old new tires.

    I have a set of Cooper Cobra tires that are close to 20 years. They sat 12 years in the Chevy guys garage that I bought with the car now nearly 8 years ago. The difference? He at least started and moved the car 2-3 times a year. And I believe him by the the decent performance. But time stops for...

    Winter plans for the Roadrunner

    There some logic there. But how come it feels "Suspicious?" lol. The older I get, the more "Suspicious" I feel.

    Any Pontiac Fans here???

    I believe it started with DeLorean. He and upper GM brass had more than one feud back in the day. Where I believe he had enough of the corporate politics. And found plenty of trouble on his own? The rest is history.

    Any Pontiac Fans here???

    The 9.99 target goal is certainly nothing new. It's actually a narrow window being going under 9.90 is not allowed by most home garage builds due to missing additional required safety measures. My last attempt with a mid 10 sec 451 Duster build with new B1 heads. Now running over 12:1...

    Any Pontiac Fans here???

    My Sr high school car was a 1966 GTO. I bought for $200. It had a decent side dent in pass rear quarter panel. At a time those were tougher to repair. Especially by a poorer city kid. The clutch was crappy so replaced the diaphragm with a Borg & Beck 3 finger style (I believe a Mcleod) I then...

    Yeah. I guess all were painted that color combo. 4 auto and 4 had 4speeds.

    The '68 Charger in Christine.

    That's true. And they knew it filming the assembly line scene. But Hollywood is going to get the shot they need.

    How many B-Bodies could we build from all our parts sitting in our garages?

    Some one would have to start with a frame/tag/title. 64-71 midsized Dodge/Plymouth.

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Engaged with the assembly of 2nd tool chest for 2nd garage. Snap On IHRA Top Fuel Mural addition. Will post final tool assembly and documented count when completed. (At least for 2025. No toolbox is ever "Completed.") Rule #1 of this quest is that I can't pillage 1st garage box. About 1/2 the...

    American health care

    The problem is the greed of capitalism got into the US Healthcare system. Milking every dime from sick and elderly. It wasn't like this 30 years or so ago. Our hospital then would have fund raisers with small carnivals to raise funds for what ever was needed. Today? That same hospital has built...

    Post up facts and things that hardly anyone knows...... (for entertainment purposes only. NO need to fact check)

    All planets in our solar system are named after Greek or Roman gods. Except for Earth. There is no orgin for the name "Earth" It's first usage is unknown. If the Earth is a spinning sphere? Then all things would gravitate towards the equator. Its science!

    John Force retires officially

    Certainly not a surprise, but still end of an era.

    Your best beater that you beat the snot out of but it kept treating you well?

    My Sr High school car. A 1966 GTO. 4-speed I bought for $200. Paint was faded and rough, and there was a bit of a crunch to right rear 1/4. But I terrorized the rich kids newer mid 70s Camaros and Trans Ams. I blew up one clutch. I snapped both motor mounted so the engine hit the hood and landed...

    Good deal on Milwaukee battery tools....

    I was a loyal Dewalt customer. But I do think Milwaukee has passed them on quality. And if you're patent? You can catch better and more frequent deals than Dewalt. JMO

    Texas Road House near you? Veterans free meal vouchers today and every Veterans day.

    I'm not a veteran, thus stay clear of their day at here and others that have veteran deals. My daughter part time bartends at Applebee's. And she is getting slammed right about now. So remember, tips are not free. Lol.
