    Is it camping season yet?

    Some great camping stories. Something I sorely miss from my earlier life in Minnesota up til about 28. Then getting a corporate transfer by way of Chicago first to Colorado where I lived for 10 years. Not having any friends for awhile - during late spring to mid-fall I spent much of my free time...

    Bought a k car

    My “sister in law” and I didn’t know of any of that and frankly didn’t care. My motivation was purely selfish from the standpoint I didn’t want to be forced to drive one of those pos everyday especially for the miles and Colorado altitude I would have been subjecting it to. Couldn’t have cared...

    Selling Tips Needed - Test Drive or Not?

    Different time, different era. In ‘71 When I went to check out the 68 X that would become mine - This was in Mpls and the car had PA plates on it - The owner just gave the car to me and my two buddies and said go ahead check it out. I’ll sheepishly admit at the time I was a bit of a chickenshit...

    Selling Tips Needed - Test Drive or Not?

    The $100 bill is the most counterfeited currency in the world. I was in Thailand one time and cruising the streets. I came upon a vendor with some really nice knockoff high end watches - A very recognizable brand. A couple of Middle-eastern dudes were also looking. They opted to buy several each...

    Headers - mufflers - want to add glass packs

    Actually I didn’t expect that - What I remember from having glass paks on my X in the early days was a cracking bark that I really didn’t like. I switched to Flowmasters and liked them much better. However - I agree with you after listening to your sound clip. I like it too. Not to much, not to...

    Selling Tips Needed - Test Drive or Not?

    I would not buy a car that I was not allowed to test drive. I’d be happy w/current owner taking me out then giving me the wheel for the way back. If when I first arrived to see the car and could tell I wasn’t likely going to be the buyer I would not even want to drive it nor waste the owners...

    Bought a k car

    For the first 20 yrs of my career I always had a company car. I recall at one point the rumor was my company was going to go from GM products to Chrysler - K-Cars. I don’t know how large our fleet was but it had to be in the low thousands. I was in CO at the time and my sister in law was in...

    Bought a k car

    Funny - I just today saw one of these tin cans parked in a grocery store lot. I thought to myself … Wow one of those things survived… Now yours on the other hand is - yes … still one of those tin cans but is sure in good looking shape. Have fun w/it - can’t be many of them around.

    So....Speedmaster is a thief and a fraud...

    Good post! Root em out and run em off. Isn’t there a federal law that prohibits this kind of thievery? They usually go after the big dogs - Well the guilty party looks to be a pretty good sized dog. Would you believe they even appear to sell or have fronts in Red China….I looked to see if they...

    Don the snake Prudhomme Legends Funny Car

    I’m sure many of you guys have seen Prudomme and his legendary funny cars at your respective drag strips. Back in the day 70’s my buddies and I would take our cars out to Twin City and Minnesota Drag Strips. For me w/the X honestly it wasn’t all that exciting having a modified production car and...

    Vegan 'Meat' Not So Good for You After All

    Don’t watch any of the the documentaries on food production or you may just die of starvation in a few short weeks. This fake meat thing has hit the wall in a number of ways. Dropping stock prices and as I understand many early adopter restaurants and fast food chains have or are dropping...

    Can You Afford To Live in Mexico? (video)

    This inflation issue is a worldwide epidemic. I don’t know if we caused it or why and what for. My wife and I just got back from a 4 country trip to Africa. You'd think it would be inexpensive there - not even close. My wife is from Saigon - pre-meeting her and after I’d been there many times...

    Vetting Transportation Companies

    If you go w/a transport I highly recommend Intercity Transport. They are not a broker co and the drivers are their own employees. I’ve used them twice with very good experiences both times. You’ll have the # of the driver and/or they will call you on occasion from the road. If you did as you say...

    Can You Afford To Live in Mexico? (video)

    I also live close to the Mexican border - about 80 miles. Used to go there often, before I lived in CA and since I’ve lived here. Had given thought to not moving there, but owning or having one of those 50 yr land lease deals and use as a second home. I used to drive down the Baja, not all the...

    O.J. won't be down for breakfast

    Don’t know if you guys have seen the latest articles on ESPN regarding the Simpson estate attorney and executor steadfastly stating he’ll do everything in his power to ensure the Brown/Goldman families get zero from the estate regarding the $33.5m judgement against the murderer from the civil...

    Hurry up and get it before someone else does. It's a steel!

    Who ever bought the car in Del Ray sure put a lot of miles on it between then and reselling it in Tucson. Nevertheless I just put an offer in at $28k. We’ll see what Olijiwan has to say …..

    How does a mecum auction work?

    Not car auctions - but auctions for other things. I’m older now and more mellow, less impulsive, but also more $$ secure. With the auctions I went to - both times I got caught up in the frenzy and in one, paid too much for something I wanted but could have lived w/o. In the other I actually had...
