As much as we all try to be individuals there is a common thread to which we all retain a small tether...

Man, I do try to find it... easier with some than others, obviously.
LOTS easier down here in the south, least for me.
 
I have learned of some pretty rare Mopars that I didn't even know existed by talking to people over the years. Did you know that Dodge actually put out a Charger that had a 440 with THREE four barrell carbs? Or that there was a hemi option for the 273 Barracuda in 1966? And I know someone that has a 67 GTX factory hemi car (true), that had the rear fender wells radiused from the factory. But this was a street car, not an RO car..... He didn't like it when I pointed out the bondo.
:lol:

I had a guy say he had a 77 Charger Daytona. I was surprised to find out that those were real...
 
There is a guy I'm my town I call Super Dave because of all the amazing stories that come out of his mouth! Of course all his toys are in an old Ford dealership that he bought in Iowa! Super Bee for every year, chargers, blah blah... He's a millionaire yet him and his wife bring baloney sandwiches rather than order a burger like everyone else. He's entertaining and I laugh about it later!

I have a buddy that is a millionaire and you'd never know by looking at him or what he drives. He has one pickup truck that is a 2005 with close to 300k miles on it and leaking oil, faded paint and has several dents but he likes it. He's also a hoarder on mostly tools and guns. I've known him about 20 years now and have never been in his house but have been in his garage which is pretty much full to overflowing and from what I hear from his son, the house is the same....and has very little sheet rock in it. I think he has a 57 T bird in the garage but it's very hard to see with all the junk in there lol
 
I call em fendertag Nazis. When I first bought my 71 Superbee I had mentioned to a co-worker I had gotten back into muscle cars and bought a Mopar. He asks what did you get? I told him. He says , Oh that's one noone wants....
Still eats at me to this day .

I know most millionaires are pretty thrifty, but skimping on the sheetrock in your house? Damn!

Well, he let his roof go for way too long. 35 year old roof doesn't do well in this heat etc and a lot of the sheet rock got stained etc. So, the dummy decided to go ahead and put a new roof on including replace all of the rotten decking, trim and soffit and a lot of rafters.....right in hurricane season. Got the new roof on but when Harvey hit, all of the soffit was off and it just blew in rain and finished off the ceilings and damaged the rest of the walls. He's been slowly removing all the sheet rock and the way outdated block paneling too. Problem is, he's trying to do it all himself and his back is pretty messed up....and he won't accept any help. Don't know what he has in that house of his but he doesn't want anyone in it. Even his son hadn't been inside in the last 10 years until just recently when no one could get a hold of the old fart. He came in from out of town and forced his way in. Yeah, the fart is kinda eccentric to say the least. His daughter got him to finally rent a house and get someone to fix the old house up but so far, nothing is happening. I call him an old fart because he's 4 years older than I am and I'm 68....

Yeah...gotta BS artist in my group of friends. We all know it, but try to accept him anyway. I called him out a while back out of frustration...couldnt take it anymore. Now I wish I would of been more tolerant and kept my mouth shut. Likeable guy, doesn't need to bs but wants to be cool and that's ok. He just torques my nose hairs sometimes. Yeah...mopars

Happy Halloween my friend! I guess you're handing out potato chips to the trick or treaters? :D

*snicker*
Nobody comes way out here for Halloween.
Instead, everyone takes their kids downtown where, in a couple block area, they "trunk or treat". :-(
Doesn't seem the same as when we were kids.... sigh.
