    Any Corvair Fans Here?

    Dang thing would burn you out of the car when it worked though. Loved my 62 kept it through high school (even though I had a dart convertible I went on date with.) but the corvair was a driver for school. best snow vehicle I've ever owned besides a 4wd truck.

    Black Walnut tree value.

    Dried and slabbed ,it worth a bunch. Log wise it goes down dramatically. Sapwood (or heartwood), limbs scaring and any punctures also kill the pricing I just bought 3 slabs of 2"T x28"W x 120"L black walnut that I have to dry and paid 105.00 each. but they were not knot free or defect free...

    It may be a work of art and my dad loved the heck out of that car. but parallel parking that ***** was miserable since I'm/was really short and couldn't see much over the windshield @ 16 and 5'2'. I didn't hit 5'8 till I was almost 19.

    Open invitation to come to the Sunshine state

    Open invitation to come to the Sunshine state

    I moved From Michigan(I was a Glass furnace heat treat controller so I could stay warm up there) after 55years up there to Florida FOR the heat, makes my old broken bones feel better. Now the humidity does a number on me for a couple of months, but I'd be in a wheelchair if I had to go back to...

    Diesel Trucks

    I still have my 92 d250 club cab. never goes fast but always goes (close to 25 mpg unloaded but down to 21 when I haul heavy), no def and the ecm only controls add-on like overdrive,cruise control charging and a/c . I could put a normal alternator and regulator combo on it and it'd run darn...

    Expensive RV's and road trips LMAO

    depends on the year and cost, newer costs more and they(the insurance) rape you on it. I try to stay on the 7-15 year margin since it seems to be the cheapest over 15 years can cost as much as a new purchase. My older diesel 40 footer was just under $600.00 per year for a it. I paid 14k for a 15...

    Ninja bike assholes - I hate em.

    I beg to differ with your opinion. I've watched bikers split lanes in stopped traffic going 25-35MPH between stopped cars and one of the cars pulls out wide to turn, parts everywhere guy didn't fare to well either. He did get a ticket given to him right as they were taking him to the hospital. I...

    What’s it worth? Rough but allegedly Running 1965 or 66 Dodge Dart

    That car looks to be 1k car tops for me, since I paid $1025.00 for this and it came with new black seat skins(not correct for the gt) and black top which I'm not going to use. I bought this convertible (for wife) for 2k 2 years ago. rough but all there and it even had the top(well most...

    Any RV'ers around here?

    I did the 5th wheel scene first and decided I wanted to tow my classic behind me , coundn't do that in a 5th wheel plus the diesel only got 18.3 mpg towing. So I went to a small Class A (wanted a diesel serengetti 26 footer but couldn't justify the huge price increase between $45k gas and $99k...

    Caliber SRT-4. Buy or pass on it?

    if I had to do it again I'd go for a manual trans 2.0 and no other change (even though the trans has held up very well even though I beat on it pretty good and have 297k on it.) no it's not a SRT but it isn't really that slow being a 2.0 with the variable trans it scoots along pretty good. I do...

    Irma Update

    Glad most everyone made it out ok. I watched the Eye on the phone pass right over our area in Webster. I got hammered pretty bad. Good stuff is it(the trees) missed the garage and house. but it took out the motor home that I had just put on a new rubber roof and it's building it was stored in...

    Another rant.......licensing stupidity........

    Go to the advance auto online parts store and order you 30 pound container use their discount to kill most of the shipping cost. that's what I had to do to get a 30 pound unit OR have them order you one and you come in and pick it up.

    Uggggg

    An evaporator core on a dodge caliber is as bad. Remove console, seats, lower dash, drop steering column and then remove top dash section to get to the heater box. I wont even go into the caddy starter I just had to do #$@#$@ .
