How many parents bought their kid a new car back in the day? Pretty common now. The college parking lot is full of 85 to 100,00 dollar cars. Not much incentive to learn about or work on one of those!

Maybe if those 60s or 70s cars told you a joke.........If I see a young person looking at a car these days they're checking out a Tesla.

In the 70's 80's and 90's whenever I took a car out they got quite a bit of attention. Stops for gas or at a parking lot seemed to always get someone who wnated to look and/or tell about a relative who had a similar car or just some car story. Now I can take a car out and in a whole day it...

Hangin' here since July 2005.

He's a handsome little feller! Looks like he really should be nicknamed Stretch!

A friend just got an oil change at the dealership in his Ram 1500. They called him at work and told him he also needed a cabin filter too, so thinking that was a cheap thing, he told 'em to go ahead. When he went to pick it up the bill was over $250. The cabin filter was $48+ and labor was...

My good sound is based on a couple of Soundcraftsmen M5002s with a home built active crossover. NAD pre-amp and a Luxman M117 taking care of the bass duties. The speakers are also home built with Focal components, 7K011DBL, T120K with high grade caps and coils. The bass is covered by a couple of...

A good friend lived in a house that was bought from Sears!

It's kind of odd that Sears became what they were as a result of mail order and they succumed to the pressures of mail order businesses......

I would certainly recommend the trip. I've been there three times and hope to go again. So much to see and experience. My wife and I are like you and enjoy our own little space being introverts but travel is downright fun and most places in Europe are good with Germany highly recommended. Get...

So a 1959 Fury in 1:64 would be approx. 3-1/4" and in 1:48 would be approx. 4-3/8".

I saw one of these at the local Menards and I thought it was O gauge. It looked larger than HO to me, but I didn't check it out real closely.

It was -28F last night. Supposed to be a high of -13 today then -28 again tonight. Wind chills are around -55F. Too cold to work in the shop...have to stay in the house for a few days now that I'm older.

Is it B3 blue?

Ruger picking out his next vacation....

Spice wants to know where the Rock Auto magnet went.......

Ruger is studying up with an online car class........

It hasn't been finalized but I'm asking the shop to pay me. I'm pretty sure my friend will try to keep my price fair for both me and the customer too, but thought I'd get some idea where to begin from you guys.

I have all of the tools and have done several front end rebuilds so I'm aware of what I'm up against. Just didn't have any idea what to charge for the job. I'll also try to get him to powder coat the components which I do know what to charge to come out on on those. I'll also try to get him...

Ya, Murphy definitly hangs out right next to me! Espceially if I tell my wife how long something will take.

Thanks for the input guys. I haven't charged anyone for car labor since the 70s, when I had my body shop, or paid anybody for car labor either so I'm really out of touch with that. I'm not going to be doing it to make money but I'm not doing it because I want to do it either. so I want us to...

A friend of mine has a small vehicle repair shop. A customer who regularly has him work on his modern vehicles from out of town bought a 66 Dart and has been bugging my friend to do some work on it. My friend told him he doesn't usually work on classics as thy are usually not financially...

She is beautiful!

24.9 but I actually bought gas for 15.7 during a gas war in Watertown S.D. in 1969! And a guy in a uniform pumped it!!

Electric cars most likely have a net-negative impact on the environment too. The story about them being clean & green needs to be openly discussed. Since they use lithium batteries the production and disposal of those is problematic. Mining lithium requires heavy machinery that emits carbon...

Sportsmans Warehouse. You can take it home today for under 900.

Insurance costs are really high too. Almost $4,000 per year for a Model 3 through Tesla.

They already take breaks. They can just make the breaks a good bit longer to charge the cars. Daytona and Charlotte could be all day affairs.

A guy who lives here part time and in Indiana part time because he has a business in both places had a Tesla S. He wanted to see how it was for a road trip so he drove it from there to here. He put it on one of his trucks that normally hauls motors to get it back to Indiana. He said it was...
