    Why all these calls and texts about my house lately?

    It seems like almost every day in recent months I get calls and texts asking if I want to sell my house. I know the housing market is tight right now with low inventory, but what is the point of these calls, do they ever actually find anyone who says yes? And I live near Chicago, who wants to...

    Missing hemi Coronet R/T vert found, or April fools?

    I saw this article this morning that was published yesterday, April 1. I know Diego and he's got a bit of a twisted/complex sense of humor, so the April Fools tag, and last line in the article, made me question if there is a prank aspect to this or if the missing US market 1970 hemi Coronet RT...

    Great time for a dead battery. Winter sux!

    7” of wet snow last Friday and Saturday here, which I did a good job of staying on top of before the temperature plunged in the evening to below zero that night. I’d gave up trying to get the snow off my truck, but I cleaned the wet snow off the car before it froze to solid ice. I mostly drive...

    Mopar Action gone again?

    I read on another forum that Mopar Action magazine is no longer in business? Just a couple months ago I was getting mailings from them hawking giving you a gift subscription to pass out if you resubscribe. Fine gift that turns out to be for those who took them up on that! I have over a year...

    Good attempt at Darwin award win

    What an idiot. He probably doesn't realize how lucky it was that the pan spilled away from him instead of in his direction!!! Shorts and sandals while working with molten metals? I've visited aluminum and iron foundries in the course of my career and the workers all wear heavy denim clothing...

A local car collector friend of mine bought this car a few years ago, a '68 Pontiac Parisienne 2+2 convertible 427 4 speed. For some reason he is talking about listing it on BAT soon to see what it might bring. His...

    Stories like this always break my heart. And they concern me as I am starting to do some towing to more distant shows with cars that mean a lot to me. I am wondering what security measures I should take when parked at a hotel? I have an Android phone, so airtags wouldn't work with it. I do...
