Here's a picture of the Dodge Brothers breaking ground for their new factory in, I think, 1910. Look at those tummies! I am told that people back then thought a fat stomach was attractive because it showed that the person had plenty to eat and was therefore financially successful. I have...

It sure is wonderful that GM is such a sustainable company: General Motors Releases Annual Sustainability Report, Setting Baseline for Accelerated Goals (gm.com) It's just too bad that its products suck. Except for its products, it would be a great company.

I can't believe that apparently the site administrator or one of the moderators won't let me reply any further to the Leanna charity thread. I was just trying to give her some good advice. You guys are way too emotionally invested in defending her. It is wonderful to be cancelled by you...

Leanna, I'm sorry if you felt I was being unkind, but it did not help that you called me, essentially, a gay asshole when I respectfully expressed some "red pill" opinions on FABO. So if I owe you an apology, then you owe me one, too because I'm not gay! I liked chicks when I was younger (I...

Based on past dealings with her, I will simply say that my mileage varies greatly from yours, Rob.

There are 2 independent tire stores in my town. When you get a flat tire and take it there to be repaired, of course you expect to pay for it, but they always say "it's on the house". Sure is nice of them, right? Last year I bought six 16.5" Firestone Transforce tires for my dually from...

Don't waste your money on commercial anal itch preparations. Mix 2 tablespoons of powdered battery acid in a cup of oven cleaner and then apply it with a cupped wire brush spinning at a high RPM. Takes care of the itch every time!

Oh, yes, it's a 1960 356 T5 coupe, and here's how it's coming along:

I had the great opportunity of watching a skilled metal man install a new floor pan in my Porsche 356 the other day. There is definitely a trick to it because you're installing it in a different sequence than the factory did. Replacement VW/Porsche floor pans are sold in two pieces: front and...

I love chicken wings. Nobody who likes wings can be all bad, and any recipe featuring wings is good by definition. May I respectfully submit that no Real Wing Man eats party wings. Not as satisfying. Whole wings are the best! That wing tip is one of the best parts. I buy whole wings at...

Here you go:

I know that many of you don't go back this far, but in the Spring of 1962 my father bought a '62 Chevrolet Impala with the (then) new 327 engine. A few weeks later, the local dealer contacted my dad to ask him to bring the car in to have its pistons replaced. Something was wrong with the...

I've already checked Walmart out, MMC, but none of the stores near my home town allow overnight RV parking. I think they are too afraid of homeless encampments getting started.

My old B200 Sportsman camper boogie van, a shaggin' wagon with a stabbin' cabin (I wish!) isn't self-contained, but it does have a 5-gallon bucket with a toilet seat on top. Now if I could just find someplace in my home town to stealth camp without the cops rousting me at 3 AM. No luck with...

Yes, that is fine with me, toolman. I chose the wrong forum in which to post it. Apologies to those who are trying to keep away from politics.

318willrun, if anybody tries to make me stop driving my old Mopars, I would like them to meet my friend Betsy. Lovin' your videos on youtube, 318wr!

I have heard the news reports about our wonderful governor, Gavin Newsom, proposing to outlaw the sale of new gasoline vehicles in my state. I would like to learn more about this, and quite possibly join and support any organization that will be fighting such a law. Can anybody provide any...

This is my '78 D300 Adventurer SE dually with a 440 that I have owned since 1992. When the picture was taken, I was using it to haul lumber to build a barn. I have since removed the lumber rack and have installed tall sides on the bed with a homebrew headache rack for collecting firewood...

A cute sentiment, as George Carlin would say, but how do you pretend that all the pinheads, pajama boys and Karens aren't really pinheads, pajama boys and Karens?

Going to the Mary Jane dispensary and trying all their different varieties of pot.

And we'll take it from there! Back-to-back!

Although I am not very familiar with her work or accomplishments, I remember seeing her on some car shows on TV and thinking, "What do you know, a good-looking woman on a car show who is not serving merely as eye candy but actually knows what she is doing."

Thanks, toolmanmike! Would you know the approximate year? If not, I can always google some Continental images and try to figure it out.

Hey guys, I have a judgment against the fellow who owns this car, and am trying to decide if it would be financially viable to levy on it to satisfy the judgment. Although I have seen cars like this on the road, for the life of me I can't remember what make and model it is! Could any of you...

Happy birthday, Rusty! I sure do appreciate all the help you have given me.

snate, your reply is well taken. I didn't know that I'd be unable to buy the refrigerant. I will try to take your suggestion and find someone licensed. Thanks a lot.

(If there is a previous thread on this, please point me there.) Has it ever occurred to you that it is just too damned expensive to keep your modern, complicated house HVAC heat pump system working, and you would like to do your own repairs? I would even like to be able to perform a DIY...

LOL!! Also, on the flathead V8, Henry ran the exhaust port through the water jacket, rather than having it exit the block with as little contact as possible with the water jacket. I'm not sure if that was due to limitations on casting technique at the time, or if he just thought it would be a...

I never did figure this out. Anyone?
