    Tell us about your automotive hard luck stories !

    Anyone that has tinkered with cars has at least one, right? The car you wanted that was sold before you got there, the one that was stolen, the one that broke down all the time.... I have a few. This one guy I used to know built a Challenger. He was in his late 40s before he could afford to buy...

    You finished the car and now you want to sell it ???

    Who thinks like this? You look and look for the car that you want, you find one and go through the trouble to get it just how you like it…then get bored and sell it ? That just ain’t me, man. I’m keeping this car: I don’t drive it as much as I should but I love looking at it. I’m always...

    Interesting find in a local junkyard

    First off, NO…this is NOT my car and No, I’m not posting this as any sort of sales ad. I'm not trying to be rude, I just don't need a moderator to get the wrong idea here. At a local self serve yard, I saw this on Friday…. 1972 Opel GT. Mostly complete. The engine and transmission were...

    My neighbor has a big bush (and trees)

    Actually, both neighbors have trees and shrubs…. I have no neighbor to the back line, a main road is back there. These people have trees within 4 feet of the property lines and of course, they seem to do no maintenance… I’ve had to do tree trimming on their trees since the branches...

    We have heard of Cars and Coffee, how about....

    Mopars and Mimosas ? Who is with me ?? Some people aren't coffee drinkers.... Others like me don't like to get up early....How about a non judged show-and-shine that starts around 11:00 with booze shacks set up for those that wish to imbibe ? This might bring in the chicks !

    Who has dared to drive across country in a classic Mopar?

    I could say that is was presented with a dare, a challenge to drive across the country from California to Pennsylvania next year for the Carlisle Mopar Nationals. It sounds tempting but we all know how easy it is to say yes to something that is a just an idea and not yet a reality. I’ve driven...

    Traveling and renting unfamiliar cars

    I don’t travel much, at least by plane. I’m out here in Pennsylvania for the big show and the wife reserved the reservation…, Nissan Rogue. I won’t even bother to post a picture of this nondescript, generic compact SUV. They all seem to blend together for me. First off, I don’t like key FOBs. I...

    HOW COME you have to be so close to me?

    We all have something that annoys us when we are out driving around. Tailgaters piss off a lot of people, myself included. I'll tell you what REALLY annoys me is the losers that want to drive right next to me when there is almost nobody else on the road. It reminds me of the guys that park next...

    Have you tried using ChatGPT ?

    I'm the guy that is usually the LAST to try or to accept new technology. A.I. is one of those things. I've heard of this site/program and decided to ask it a question. I've heard that you can load a picture and have it change the background or other things. This is probably just scratching the...

    Newer cars are stupid.

    Are you with me? Late model cars take what was simple and make it far more complicated than it should be. Remember when the old cars had mechanical levers and bellcranks for throttle linkage? Later on, cables were used and yes, they worked just fine. Now with pretty much everything being "drive...

    Is my math right? A 4 cycle engine at 2500 rpms fires each cylinder over 20 times a second?

    I was talking with my nephew today about how amazing that engines are and how it seems like everything has to go right for them to run as well as they do. I told him that at freeway speeds when an engine is running at say....2500 rpms, each piston fires about 20 times a second. I based this on...

    Welding observations that I have made....

    I spent my life as a Carpenter but have been a car guy even longer. Quite awhile ago I learned that you really limit yourself if you have to rely on others for welding things. Old cars with crash damage or rust will need repair. You can get on the list and wait your turn or find a way to do it...

    How often do you replace your laptop computer?

    The one that I use is a Hewlett Packard and about 4 years old. Restarts don't seem to help, clearing cookies doesn't either. The wife thinks that laptops wear out and need periodic replacement and since she works for a software corporation, I would tend to believe that. Being a car guy though, I...

    Beware of nature, it feels no guilt toward any of us.

    A month ago my 13 year old nephew said he wants a classic car and wants my help to build it. I have a 71 Duster up the hill that I had planned on building a Plum Crazy Duster 340 clone to make a few bucks but this thing with the kid is so much more important. I’ve always wanted to have a kid to...

    C H E A P People that you know...what are your stories of that person you knew that went overboard with their habits?

    WE all know CHEAP people. Some of us are those people. Sometimes they are really smart and just not being wasteful but sometimes their penny pinching ways are annoying. Me? I can be cheap sometimes. It sometimes is motivated by money but other times I like a challenge to do more with less. This...

    What is the cheapest running classic car that you have bought?

    It could have been a slant six or even a 318 model. What classic car have you bought that ran and drove that was cheap enough to buy for what amounts to less than a week's wages today? (or less) I've never owned a classic car that was a performance model. In all of my 70+ vehicles that I've...
