Infamous "innocent" murderer O.J. Simpson cashed in his chips yesterday. I don't think he had enough to get to Heaven.

I wondered about starting a Fire Truck Friday thread. I served on my local VFD for 20 years. We used to host an annual Fire Truck Muster (show) and had quite a varying amount of apparatus attend over the years. This was the pumper that was at our hall when I joined in 1978. It is a 1962 GMC...

As most realize, today is Leap Day, occurring every 4 years, in a year evenly divisible by 4. What a lot of people do not realize, is the impact this has on one's earnings. People who work on a monthly salary work for free today. People who work on hourly pay basis enjoy an extra day of earnings.

I received terrible news yesterday that a good Mopar friend and neighbour died the day before. At first, it sounded as though a hunting accident had claimed my friend. As I talked to more friends, the news became more tragic. Dwayne had died by his own hand. I visited him often at his home shop...

I would like to sincerely thank the nameless person who just now gifted me a GOLD membership. This is certainly unexpected but greatly appreciated. At 76 years old, people have told me these are my Golden Years. I reply that the only gold I have seen lately is in the toilet bowl! This will now...

Happy Canada Day, July 1, 2023 to my Canadian forum friends, and Happy Independence Day, July 4, 2023 to my American forum friends! Dave

I finally found a good use for Coker Redline tires. As a side table in my Man Cave. This is a tire with about 4,000 miles on it, that a belt separated on it. Total junk! I mounted the tire on a 15" rim and added a Red Circle Dodge hub cap. The base is a bar stool that I chopped the legs off at...

Small sample of car show field:

There was an official announcement on CTV news tonight that a new industry is coming to St. Thomas, Ontario. The city of St.Thomas has been grabbing property from the neighbouring Municipality of Central Elgin, and so far has accumulated around 1,500 acres of prime farmland. Today, Volkswagon...

Pictures from PumpkinFest car show, Waterford, On.

We went to a little local car show on Satuday. On the way home, I heard a distinctive "rat-a-tat-tat" from under the hood. I immediately pulled over and stopped to see what had happened. The long bolt that attaches the alternator to the head sheared off and slid out enough to touch the fan...

I would like to wish my Canadian Forum Friends a safe and happy Canada Day today. Also, a wish for an equally safe and happy Independence Day on Monday, July 4, to my American Forum Friends.

I recently celebrated my 75th birthday. Although I always tell my daughter and son that their presence is presents enough, this year they went together to purchase me a unique gift. There is an historic aircraft museum in nearby Hamilton, Ontario that offers rides in some of their planes for a...

My son called the other day day to tell me he bought an old Mopar. After he sold his '59 Savoy project a couple of years ago, I was glad to hear that he was back in the hobby again. But, this one is quite different. 1968 Chrysler Courier 229 17' bow-rider. It is powered by a '70's era Mercury...

It's not a B-body, but still a Mopar, so can I keep it? One owner, low mile 2020 Grand Cherokee Limited X. It turned over 12,000 miles (20,000 K.) on the way home today. This thing is LOADED; what it does not have, I don't need. It is V-6, but has sport hood and dual exhaust, panoramic roof, 20"...

Yesterday, LG, of South Korea, and Stellantis announced a joint venture to build a new facility in Windsor, Ontario, the long time home of the former Chrysler's assembly plant. This 5 billion dollar investment on their part will produce lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. Both...

I have been helping my friend, Randy, with a 1962 Dart Max Wedge clone he bought last fall. We had to replace a fuel pump and remove a fuel pressure regulator. At the same time, we replumbed the fuel lines to more closely resemble a stock setup. We pushed the car out of the garage to prime the...
