    Hellcat Crashed in Colorado

    My presonal feeling are this newer cars are better stuff is just a myth...sure they steer and brake better but when it comes to handling and crash worthy, I feel the older 70's and maybe even older cars were better..yep. Ok, a newer car can go around a corner fast but how is it at high speeds...

    Early Cold Weather

    I never figured out why the world doesn't fear another ice age vs global warming. Those ice ages were real, here in Michigan the ice was a mile or more thick, how the great lakes happen. Another ice age would be more harmful then all the ice in the world melting away. Sure the coastal land would...

    Christmas commercials........ Hate them or love them

    The thing is, everybody doesn't have a big happy family to celebrate the holidays with. I lost my grandparents very early in life and I have yet to have any children--which expect for Xmas time, I really don't mind at all, maybe someday it come a time but now isn't it for me. One needs not to...

    Christmas commercials........ Hate them or love them

    I believe I would enjoy Xmas more if it wasn't always so freezing cold outside. Yeah it sometimes can be depressing yet I'm still looking forward to it. One day Xmas will be awesome I keep telling myself, hopefully this will be the year. If not, there is NYE to try to make up for it. I went to...

    Christmas commercials........ Hate them or love them

    I find most TV ads dumb, I keep the volume off lots of times--sometimes even during sports games, baseball, football. Lots of times, I got no idea just what the advertisement is for, like Olive Garden, it just gave me an idea what I should cook for dinner, ha ha...well at the end I see the...

    Kings of Crash

    Its just a hunk of steel....thats all it is....I know memories are made with your first car and it does seem special and many people can "love" their cars...I loved my first car as well, that is until I wiped out taking a curve too fast and destroying it along with a new Jeep truck. I cried...

    Blizzard 1978 cars at home

    I used to ram snow banks with my 77 Gran Fury. The car was fine up to about 9 inches, then it would still go for a bit but the snow would build up and block the car...no problem, I would back up a ways and then go forward about 15 mph and hit the snow bank with my foot still on the gas, that...

    First Demolition Derby

    We used to call the big full size cars "battleships", thats what they were, not the fastest-quickest cars around yet they were so tough-strong they caused big problems, lol. They could not catch the lightweight muscle cars but they could knock them right off the road--and stay in control. These...

    22 ammo anyone have it yet??????

    My little hand gun shoots 22's long..its a Jennings J-22, got it 25 years ago for $60, lol Its not the greatest, ha ha. it jams up now and then, all it needs is a chamfer where the bullet goes in--there is none there now, but then I wonder if its legal to do so ? I don't agree with that...

    What moderate low-buck V8 has the highest RPM potential?

    Its the sound a high rpm motor makes that is so cool, IMO BMW makes-or made-a V10 with a 8,000 plus red line, mind U I love Mopars far more but that engine even muffled down sounded great screaming through the gears. I rather have a built 8,000 rpm 340 any day but any V8-V10 engine that revs...

    “Keeping the Dream Alive”; Making a 2,100-mile road trip in an old Mopar.

    Awesome, I find these old cars more conformable on long road trips. I got also a G6 and I'm stiff after a long drive but my 78 Magnum is more like sitting on the couch at home

    I found this pretty interesting: Car runs on compressed air.

    I love my gasoline power rides/ my car just sat for 4 1/2 months in a unheated warehouse and got it out this week by just filling the carb bowls with fuel and a lttie more gas down the throat of the carb. Engine fired right up and after a min running was moving the car and ran 30 mins just fine...

    Mandatory Firearm insurance?

    No its not. When automobiles first came around, I'm sure there was no mandatory insurance for them. Think how it be today if insurance for automobiles was not necessary for anybody who never had an accident ? Would that be fair ? Everybody who first gets a drivers license has most often never...

    Mandatory Firearm insurance?

    Insurance for weapons does make some sense. If my car injures or kill somebody, my insurance is there to help compensate for the damages it caused. Along as the rates were reasonable and everybody--even people like the police needed to carry weapon insurance, it be fair to all and would help...

    INDOT truck hits mattress, catches fire

    Gotta love these "green energy" ideas. Run the truck on compressed natural gas, it be so Earth Friendly..till it catches on fire and burns, lol (Indy also wants all city vehicles to be electric by 2020, lets see how that works out)...

    Lost A Great Friend...Way Too Soon!!

    Scary, wounder if his line of work played a role ? Paint fumes, bondo dust, even stuff on your hands can get into your blood. We gotta take safety precautions all of the time. I recall my first summer job in a bump shop, nobody wore dust masks, many smoked--one dude even painted a car with no...
