    Idiots at Stellantis....................."vroom-vroom sounds"

    All these people think they're going to save the planet and save money, in the long run. Wait till they get their tax bill. Not the one from the IRS but the two individual ones from the state and federal government, paying for roads. Right now "road tax" is in the price of gas. As soon as...

    Selling without PayPal

    I use Postal Money Orders or personal checks only, or in person. Never had a problem with any of the Post Offices or my bank cashing a M.O. But if comes to the point no one wants to buy anything unless they want me to take pay pal, I'll just chuck the parts in the dumpster and move on.

    Well, lookie what I found.

    25-30 years ago, as a supervisor in the jib department at the crane company I worked for, the boss calls up and wants to know where these 3 jibs were that had to ship in two weeks. All records showed they had been built but couldn't be found. So... we built three more. Come mid March as snow...

    I rest my case. Who has the worst traffic? (Drivers)

    Not moving after the light turned green, reminded me of what happened almost 20 years ago. It was me holding up traffic. It was near Frederick, Md. I was at a gas station and where I had to pull out there was a light. It was red. Turned green, I sat. It turned red again. It turned green, I still...

    A yr ago I sold three '55/56 pkps. The trucks were 1000' or better away from the house near the barns. The first thing I told them, "I don't know you and you don't know me and I'm carrying." They laughed and said "So are we." I live 750 ft off main road. Closet neighbor to the west 900ft., south...

    Craigslist no-shows....

    Similar situation several 20 yrs ago. Had a '79 New Yorker 5th Ave. for sale $1200. Girl and her dad showed up, looked the car all over, drove it and really liked it.

    Craigslist no-shows....

    Not just CL, on here, FBBO, FCBO also. No courtesy/respect any more. Not everyone but just enough to piss you off and makes me want to say the hell with it just scrap everything and be done. Some correspond with you, ask questions, want pictures. After you've done what they asked, they don't...

    You guys (or girls) on here that work on this newer stuff every day, my hat's off to you.

    Pishta is 100% correct. I'm retired supervisor for a large crane manufacturer. Sat in a meeting one day with a room full of engineers. I asked them how many did their own mechanical work on their cars, and cursed the guy that designed the stupidity of where something was placed or what had to be...

    I have to start out about my Grand pap, then follow up with a funny that made me think of his antics. He was born in 1895, passed 1978. By the age of 22 he had started a stone business and had lost his left arm(3" below elbow) in a dynamite accident. But he could still wallop you with it. He...

    People who let rare cars rot.

    RSie you are correct. If(big word) we could win a lottery. I went back on my word. Said I wouldn't say anything else. The parts car was bought with a broken windshield. The swinger was from my uncle. He even admitted to it eventually. A large rock used to lay on the cowl. In my family when...

    People who let rare cars rot.

    Ok, where do I start. I'm going to try and say my piece and then that's it. No quibbling back and forth with anyone. Some of you are down right ignorant. But maybe that has to do with your upbringing. I just happened to stumble onto this thread. Before my name was mentioned, I knew it was aimed...

    Courtesy

    The original post was not meant for anyone specific person, just those in general that don't have the time to answer. If they took time to post the first time, read the response, how long to just write a simple "thanks, no thanks or make an offer." I feel society in general has caused a lot of...

    Courtesy

    There is no couth anymore. People advertise wanting something. You respond with what you have. Most don't even have the decency to answer you back with an answer either way. Some you have to make several attempts to reach them and get an answer. Very upsetting to another buyer, whom you put off...

    Damn, I hate it when my wife 'helps' me clean the garage. That said...

    I like to let mine help also. The only problem is after she organizes, it takes me days to find anything. She has a different way of arranging things than I do. She groups things differently. But I still love her.
