    What Is The Best Car You've Ever Rode In On The Street?

    1970 Plymouth Superbird. Hemi, 4 speed, lime color. Engine was prepped by Mr. Landy himself. Had a cross ram, big hookers, bigger cam, yadda, yadda. The guy that took me a ride was the cousin of my boss at the time. Took me out on a 2 lane, just into 4 gear and we were over 155 mph. He...

    Anyone Been to PikesPeak as a Tourist

    Been up there 3 times. Once a young child with our family, then with my 2 boys and wife and the last time on my 1977 Gold Wing. Road was still not paved all the way. Was awesome.

    What NON-Mopar car do you most regret selling?

    My 1970 Chevelle SS 396 (L78!) 4-speed. Headers, bigger cam, bigger carb. Probably pushing 500 hp (do the research) Was a handful when I was 18. No problem spinning to 7 grand, but I did bust a few valve springs. Had highway gears in it, can't imagine what it would have been like with 4.88's.

    Model Planes Huh! I never did get into model planes, although my father's life revolved around them, for close to 70 years. in the late 50's he set an unofficial world record for flying his plane from Decatur, IL to Savoy, Il (approximately 40 miles). The transmitter was huge, which my...

    Not what you want to see...

    I believe I remember this on Air Crash Investigations. If correct the co-pilot was PIC at the time and he was being very aggressive with the rudder controls during some good turbulence. Weren't there 2 incidents of this failure?

    Does your car make people cry?

    I recently was having some new windows installed by a man and his son. He needed to go thru the garage where the Dart was sitting. He was a former gearhead about 60 some in his years. He was admiring the Dart. I said, "Do you want me to start it?" He said, "Oh please don't, I will just get...

    You're having a better day than this guy.

    Down in Texas, maybe other states and locations, you can even rent wheels and tires for your ride. Which means that if you don't pay your rental fee, they will do the same thing and repo your tires and wheels. Seen it happen!
