    Another Ebay Flipper Who Hasn't a Clue

    I see more and more ads like that all the time. People that are either completely clueless or are hoping that the buyer is.

    My Duster is a nuisance...

    My Scamp is a little loud. Not Harley with straight pipes loud, but it has a rather healty exhaust note. I've NEVER had a neighbor problem while driving it. All I ever get it a thumbs up, or a shouted "nice car" or somebody making the universal "do a burnout" gesture. But then again this is...

    I think I might have scored a great pickup today

    Imagine that. It would figure, wouldn't it? I was afraid that the price was too good to be true, I hadn't checked for myself to see but like I said I would have ordered as many as I could afford at that price and re-sold them for a tidy profit.......another scheme shot to hell...lol.

    Things I do at car shows

    I personally don't do judged shows. I know what's wrong with my car, I don't need anybody to tell me. I drive my car pretty regularly, and it shows. My original 1972 paint has chips, there are door dings, and I don't detail the underside of the car. The engine gets a little dirty from time to...

    I think I might have scored a great pickup today

    I would have bought every one in the store at that price and just paid the core charges. You could make money easily re-selling those!!

    CAR HUNT! or BOF & me car shopping!

    Uh, unless I'm mistaken I was the guy on the phone when the 15 year old was buying the Dart in Sidney. I called at about that time and on that day, and he told me to hold on somebody was there looking at it and covered up the phone and talked to them for a minute and got back on the phone with...

    My opinion after 4.5 years here at FABO.

    Sorry guys, you're all wrong. 72 Scamps are the best looking A-Bodies!!

    Anyone going to the Chrysler Classic/Columbus

    Well, f@#$ the generic motors boys, boo boo... lol. No, I'm not the one that almost hit anything, I didn't even come to a complete stop. Although I did drive around the block for a second look. I'll be at some of the cruise in's this summer, the kids love them and we always have a good time...

    Anyone going to the Chrysler Classic/Columbus

    Hey Glow worm, that's great. We're less than 10 miles apart.. I'm sure I'll see you at some of the cruise in's this summer!! Your car looked great from the street, of course I don't go poking around in people's driveways. That's a good way to get shot.. lol.

    Anyone going to the Chrysler Classic/Columbus

    Hey Glow Worm, you don't by any chance live in Sciotoville do you?? I saw a killer Barracuda parked in a driveway out there when I was cruising yard sales last Saturday. It was gold with black stripes and had a vanity tag, but I can't for the life of me remember what it said... Dave in Rosemount.

    How much do you have invested?

    I bought the Scamp in April of 04 for $4250.00. Since then I've added an aluminum radiator for about $225.00 including having a couple of brackets welded on and new hoses, $20.00 for a new turn signal switch, $125.00 for two small bolt rallye's with nearly new rubber (one of my wheels was bent...

    No more Barracuda.

    Glad to see another Scamp around here, but I will miss seeing your cuda around. I'm starting to see more Scamps out there, I wonder where in the heck they're all coming from all of a sudden??

    Need ideas.

    I think you should leave the car alone too. I really LIKE the trim on the car as it is, and personally I wouldn't go with a scoop either. When I bought my Scamp it came with a set of 340 scoops new in the box. I laid them on the hood, they looked great. But I couldn't bring myself to start...

    a hemi in a tow truck and a camper???

    Heck, one Hemi HEAD with stuck valves and collapsed springs would be worth more than $50.00, even if it IS a small displacement early oddball. For $50.00 you can't go wrong even if it's a truck 440 or 413 or even a smallblock. I'll be real interested to see how this turns out for you and what...

    Gas prices

    It's ranging from a low of $2.09 to $2.25 within 10 miles of my house here in southern Ohio. What do you want to bet that it's back up to $3.00 a month after the election?? Anybody wanna make a sucker bet on that one?? lol.

    I'm crying because I'm broke...

    Cars like this one never pop up around HERE either, that's why I'm so bummed. I bought mine for $4250.00 as it sits a year and a half ago and thought I got the deal of the decade with a warmed over 360 and 65,000 original miles. The car on Craigslist has A/C and fewer miles, and DAMN if I don't...

    I'm crying because I'm broke...

    Yeah Jack, that's what I'm living for.. the day when the ex and the bum have to live on their own money. As it is my daughter lives with me and I buy my son nearly everything he gets because she won't. And believe me, the courts don't care as long as they're getting their cut of the money.

    I'm crying because I'm broke...

    Yes, I hear you Cap. Problem is I hit rock bottom about 4 years ago as far as the finances are concerned, but if you have kids with them you pay and pay and pay. I'm still paying full child support for 2 kids even though my daughter has been living with me for 15 months. Just to shut the ex up...

    Holy Crap Batman! Talk about severe engine death! I don't think I've ever seen a cam in that many pieces or a rod bent quite that bad. Ugly......

    I'm crying because I'm broke...

    And can't buy this car!!! I was looking through the Columbus Ohio Craigslist postings and saw this. Damn ex-wife!!!! http://columbus.craigslist.org/car/206479380.html It looks like my 72 except for the white interior. Somebody get this one so I don't feel so bad!!!

    Today's adventure....

    That's about par for the course.. in my area they keep hiring cute little girls to work the counters in the chain stores. You explain it to them 4 times while they look at you with a blank, bovine stare and eventually start clicking on the keyboard. They've never been under the hood of a car in...

    What to keep in the trunk for EMERGENCIES?

    Columbus Ohio Chrysler Classic

    Well, I just drug my tired, sweaty, sunburned self home from the Chrysler Classic at National Trail Speedway and I must say it was a GREAT day!! There were several hundred drag cars there, an o.k. show field, a decent swap meet and it was 95 degrees and sunny today. I scored two small pattern...

    What are you paying for gas?

    $2.77 a gallon for regular here in southern Ohio. Goes up 10 cents a grade, so it's gonna cost me a damn fortune to fill up the Scamp for this weekend.

    champion plugs

    If anybody MADE a plug for my mower besides champion I wouldn't run them there either. I had HORRIBLE luck with them in the 80's, basically the damn things had a tendancy to crack and fall apart, and didn't last long if they stayed in one piece. I've tried AC, NGK, Bosch, and keep coming back to...
