    The Canadian Chevelle in Pet Semetary: Bloodlines.

    The misspelling is on purpose related to Stephen King's book. The movie I'm watching now is a prequel. Not that great but the hero drives a Beaumont the Canadian version of a 68-69 Chevelle. I've read about them but never seen one in a movie. It's rockin' Pontiac Rallyes. .

    Do you remember movies with overtures and intermissions?

    I'm watching Jerimiah Johnson and it has both. It seemed it had to be a big blockbuster type.

    Can you think of a car that's based strictly on function?

    No style points, just made to follow the function it was designed for. I'm thinking the WWII Jeep. Maybe a specific land-speed racer, and probably F1 cars but I mean street vehicles sold to the public. The original Power Wagon? I would think the original Beetle is pretty close. Ease of...

    Audioslave

    A friend mine sent me an article about Chris Cornell (AudioSlave) with his '76 Pontiac Can Am. He knows I'm into Grand Ams, a very similar car. In fact I'm thinking abot cloning one out of the three I have. Im sure you guys have seen their video, Show Me How To Live. Featuring a '70...

    I lost out on a 442 today.

    It was a '76 in pretty rough shape mechanically and body wise. $2,200. This is what they look like fixed up. I think it was this color. Unlike most I like the malaise cars. They can always made to be fast. It was rockin' the swivel buckets.

    Theirs Is The Glory.

    I don't know how many times I've watched A Bridge Too Far. 4 maybe 5? This last time on the paid streaming service Prime. A couple of days later Prime suggested this movie. "Theirs Is The Glory" is a movie shot in the real locations featuring the real soldiers and witnesses of the Market...

    The reason for my long hair.

    Sometimes I say it's me channeling my inner Viking, you already know I'm Norwegian. Sometimes I say I'm copying Leon Russell my favorite artist in my youth. Some think I'm trying to be a hippie. I'm not. I don't like hippies. I do try to look like Immortan Joe. I eve have the mask...

    I didn't know Lee Marvin won the Acedemy Award and the Golden Globe for best actor in 1966 for this movie.

    Cat Ballou. A western comedy. Dang in just a few minutes he shows off some excellent acting. I liked every damn movie he's been in. Back then critics didn't exclude popular movies.

    Emily Compagno needs to come over to Mopars.

    Emily Compagno is a federal attorney, former NFL cheerleader for the Raider Nation, and a current host on a major news channel. A friend discovered that she owned a ’72 Mach 1 Mustang for a long time and learned about her support for veterans’ causes. When we were planning a race at the 24 Hours...

    I'm asking for your input on this. American car/truck buyers vs. foreign vehicle buyers.

    I don't mean the nationality of the buyers. I mean their buying preferences. I buy American when I can. I'm even including and especially focused on the used enthuiast market. For instance my sister and her husband always buy Japanese. My brother and his son, my nephew, like German vehicles...

    We all remember The Jaguar commercial.

    I thought advertising is designed to increase sales. Since then, Jaguar’s sales have tanked by 97.5% in Europe. Across the entire continent, a mere 49 vehicles were registered in April 2025. Between January and April, Jaguar only sold 2,665 units, marking a 75.1% sales decline year-to-date...

    Britney Spears in her prime Pepsi commercial.

    The joke is Bob Dole had been given hell for doing a Viagra commercial. He was good sport and he appearred in this. With the Pepsi bottle erupting it wasn't that subtle.

    I told you about the emergency alarm.

    How the lady that had a stroke pulled the cord on the alarm that probably saved her life. It happened again last night about 2:00 am. This time it was a different resident's cat attacking the string hanging down from the alarm. Dang cat pulled the whole thing right off the wall. Whew!

    I got to see what a major stroke looks like.

    I work a few days/nights a month at a independent living community. Just covering for employees who call in sick or have vacation days. It pays for car parts. During the days I drive these people to their doctors appointments, at night I man the front desk and keep an eye on things. Mostly I...

    Rich kid cars.

    One thing I like ask younger generations is what did the rich kids in your high school drive? A recent article on Hagerty Media prompted this thinking. The question was what bad guy cars were typical movies? What would a villain in the ’90s drive? A 4th-gen Camaro Z/28, of course. I’m not...

    Mazeppa's death made the national news.

    Gailard Sartain's death has made national news. I discovered Mr. Sartain when he had a late night movie program in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was called Mazeppa Pompazoid's Uncanny Film Festival And Camp Meeting. He had skits inbetween the movie breaks. My friend and I thought he was the funniest...

    A cloudy day, but not like you think.

    If you know Colorado, you know our humidity is extremely low. The joke is, if you're from here every other place in the world is too humid. Another advantage is in winter you rarely have ice on your windshieds in the morning. Today I can barely see the end of my driveway. It's not fog. It's...

    I finally found a 727 for the '71 Charger 500!!!

    I had to go to Albuquerque to get it. 432 miles one way. The drive was beautiful except Albuquerque. It's in the desert. To quote from Lawrence of Arabia, "There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing." Unless it's a transmission. I'll let you know how it goes.
