    Whitepunkonnitro, a standup guy!

    I just bought from Whitepunk last week. I agree with y'all, he's a good person to buy from. When I get further into my project, I'll be seeing what else he has!!

    Mountain Bike Riders, Question

    When I was a bike officer, the department gave me a Trek. I loved that bike and it fit me well. I might look and see if they have an economy one. I've heard of Giant and Specialized, so I'll check those out too. I've come across a few also like Mongoose and Genesis. Any opinions on those?

    Mountain Bike Riders, Question

    Thanks for the responses. Keep em coming. I was a body builder when I was younger, and I have a very large bone structure. At 210lb, I had less then 7% body fat. I doubt I can get back to that, but if I can get in the ballpark, I'd be happy. I did join the local gym this week, and I changed...

    Mountain Bike Riders, Question

    I wanna get me a new bike for exercise. I'm 6', 265lb, and need to lose about 40lb. My last mountain bike lasted almost 25 years (Huffy). I sold it at my last garage sale and it still rode good. I like mountain bikes due to their versatility. What bike should I consider? I will do mostly...

    Got Chewed Out Today

    Well, I took the quiz, and thankfully, I'm not a commie!! So, I guess I can keep my American flag waving in my front yard. As for the guy, I chuckled and walked away.

    Got Chewed Out Today

    I was talking to some guys earlier this week and we got on the subject of new vehicles. They talked about the new models and how they'd like to buy this or that. Then I chimed in. I told them that I will never, in my lifetime, buy a new car. It's too expensive, depreciates too fast, the...

    A reason that owners let their cars sit and rot

    I too have been buying and selling muscle cars for over 30 years. I've had some real jerks try to bully me into a low price. I just simply say "No thanks" and shut the door. I've made good money on some, and have been stung on others. I've bought cars that I found out are junk when I got...

    wrenching on your car in crappy weather

    I can relate. I've had to do a complete brake job with rotors, calipers, pads and replacing a few lines. Like you, my double garage was full of my 67 Camaro SS and 73 Nova SS Hatchback. In the driveway was my Ford Mustang GT, and my '86 Cavalier Z24 nest to it, which needed the work. It was...

    Anyone else not give a crap about the super bowl?

    I don't care for football. I was a baseball player for many years, but I don't even watch that on TV. I'll wait to see the commercials tomorrow when they're not interrupted by a bunch of oversize kids trying to run over each other for an odd-shaped piece of leather. Now drag racing I can...

    Thinking of Getting A New Phone

    I'm thinking of getting a replacement cell phone. I have about 10 months left on my Verizon contract, and they will not let me upgrade till the contract is up. I asked. Where is a good place to get a good used semi-smart phone or a refurbished phone? What are some things to look for when I do...

    Average age of Mopar Maniacs.

    I'm 46, so I remember the musclecars as a kid growing up in Greenwood, IN. I remember seeing Hemi's, Super Sports, GT, Cobra Jets, ect. Back then some of these cars were just a few years old. My dad bought a '69 Chevelle new, and we street raced many times in that car. It was fast, and we...

    Your first uncorked trip, to the muffler shop...

    I never towed my cars to the muffler shop. It started in the 80's with my first musclecar, a '65 Olds F-85 with a homebuilt 355 Chevy/3-speed. It was loud, and it sounded bad-a**. You couldn't pry the mile off my face with a crowbar!! There were MANY cars since then, as I put headers on...

    Merry Christmas - Mary Did You Know? by my son Fiddlin' Carson Peters

    Good job. I've performed that song as well, always loved it. Mark Lawry wrote the words many years ago, and it still rings true today. Teach them when they're young, so that when they grow older, they won't depart from it.

    Help with Fiance's Ford Ranger

    I would say the intake. Ford's wisdom made plastic intake manifolds for the 4.0L. Is it the over head cam or over head valve? OHC motors also wear out the cam chains.

    ******Posting! Don't change the core of A-bodies.

    I've been here only a short time, but have been on other boards that had this issue. Some are intentional, some are not. Important thing is to forgive and move on. Don't let him hang onto this. I was always taught to forgive 70x7 times for every wrong someone does me. It's not easy, but...

    Camera ? Lens Interchangability

    My wife has a nice Minolta Maxxim QTsi SLR camera, with quite a few lenses. Is there a digital camera body that uses the same lenses? She wants to upgrade to a digital camera but we don't wanna just toss everything and start over. I know its a shot in the dark.

    Slant six in a Charger

    I had a nice 67 Belvedere with a slant 6 automatic. Fun car, won a few shows with it, even got it in a publication. During long cruises, I was the only one that didn't have to stop for gas.

    The all new "It's time to get out and get fit" thread

    I'm in pretty good health, no real issues, but I have gained some weight in the past few years. 5'11", 230. I'm gonna start working out again. I really don't wanna be another fat, donut-eating cop. I'm 46, so I can still do it.

    User Names

    I've been into drag racing since I was a kid. My dad would take me to the Indy dragstrip when he ran a C/Gas '55 Chevy. When I was 16, the guys in school school would call me Hot Wheels or Dragster. I raced my '65 Olds F85 almost every weekend. Dragster evolved into Drag Racer and I've had...
