    2007 2500 CTD Suggestions

    I have trouble with my legs and put AMP research electric running boards on my 21 RAM 2500. The step is 14” above the ground when deployed.

    Dickey Betts won't be rocking......

    Sad to hear, I was a big fan. He outlived most of the rest of the band. His son and one of Allman's sons have a band that is making an appearance next month near me that I am planning to buy tickets for.

    Gathering spares, just in case....

    Very true there. Some repo items we take for granted and then at some point we find they got discontinued or the source went out of business. Or they only make one run, then don't make any more after the supply runs out. Same goes for some common service parts. I used to work for a major...

    Can You Afford To Live in Mexico? (video)

    If I wanted to move somewhere like Mexico that is teaming with gangs, cartels, high crime rates, roads full of crazy drivers, and cops/courts who won't do anything about any of that, along with a leftist government, and most everyone not speaking English, I can save myself the trouble of moving...

    Gathering spares, just in case....

    My dad was a hoarder (not of car parts, he had several hobbies he was passionate about and had gathered quite a bit of "stuff" related to them over 60 plus years). Much of the basement, 2 bedrooms, a lot of the attic of my parents house, and 4 storage units were piled with stuff. It was a heck...

    How does a mecum auction work?

    I am not sure if the auctioneer can really see individuals among the hundreds in the bidder seating area trying to bid, or even if the bidder can follow the action close enough to follow what is going on with the pricing. It's really fast paced and noisy there. But the bidders assistants, who...

    How does a mecum auction work?

    I believe it's 10% for the seller if there is a reserve, but 5% if they will list it "no reserve". On top of that, there is a fee to enter a car into the auction which varies depending on what day one lists it. If on a Wednesday or Thursday for example, it might only be $500 to enter it. But...

    How does a mecum auction work?

    I bought a car at a Mecum auction over 10 years ago. It worked out well for me, but it may have been beginners luck as I’ve heard and seen enough sketchy activities there that I feel it’s a similar environment to a casino. Sometimes a buyer or seller wins, often they lose, but the house always...

    Don’t ship with USPS!

    The USPS just canceled their contract with Fed Ex for doing their express mail and is going to now use UPS. Fed Ex is too bad for USPS even!

    Highest resale color for a B Body?

    I can't say much here on the car or I'll probably get b-tchslapped by mods for supposedly running a for sale ad, but I had it on cars online for around 82K, then then lowered it to 78 or 79 in '18 and would get around 1 serious or semi serious call a year on it. Only 2 or 3 people ever came to...

    Highest resale color for a B Body?

    For the most part, I don't have an across the board choice for favorite or least favorite colors on cars. Different cars sometimes really pop to me, whereas the same color doesn't appeal to me on a different model. Sometimes whether it appeals to me or not depends on interior color and...

    Highest resale color for a B Body?

    In the mid 90s I was searching for a E body convertible and not having much luck. I ran some wanted ads, and got a call about a FK5 Challenger that I was sort of mehh about since the color didn't appeal to me. It wasn't too far away and I wasn't getting a whole lot of responses, so I decided...

    Highest resale color for a B Body?

    That a reference to my super gorgeous '71 Challenger that the market shuns due to it being root beer brown? :lol: I actually don't find the metallic browns, golds and greens that many seem to abhor to be boring. The colors I find boring are white and beige. Especially beige. And purple because...

    Virgil Exner designed 426 wedge powered boat at Mecum

    Shows sold for $16,500. I guess Exner’s boat design doesn’t bring very high money.

    Burned out (NOT burn out) Superbird at IAAI (For auction, not mine)

    Anyone remember the burnt up Superbird someone bought and got running and pictures were posted online of it driving through a car show? I saved a few of the pictures but it would take me some time to dig them up. I want to say it was around 10 years ago. Story I remember was there were 2...

    Burned out (NOT burn out) Superbird at IAAI (For auction, not mine)

    I don’t even particularly like wing cars so no worries there! I said I’m thinking, as in estimating in my head what is in store for someone to restore it, not I’m thinking of buying it myself!

    Burned out (NOT burn out) Superbird at IAAI (For auction, not mine)

    It’s really a shame if not a crime that the car’s owner didn’t hang on to the car after the fire, collect his insurance money, but keep possession of it for likely a small cost. Then he could have sold it and the title would be unblemished going forward after it gets restored. I’m thinking...

    Joe Flaherty Won't Be Down, Or Blowing Anyone Up

    I was a huge SCTV fan when that was on. He was also great in the unfortunately short lived outstanding TV series Freaks and Geeks.

    Why all these calls and texts about my house lately?

    I still keep a landline for backup and emergencies but really don’t use it. Only calls I make on it recently are to my cell phone if I can’t find it. Then listen for the ring and track down my lost phone! The calls and texts about the house are to my cell. Not sure how they got my name and...
