    Trying to summon the motivation

    I'm lucky, all my hobbies are seasonal and when the season changes i get interested doing things i haven't done for quite some time. I usually only work on the car when i'm couped up in the winter. When Dec. rolls around i can hardly wait to heat the shop up and get at it for 3 months.Spring...

    Trying to summon the motivation

    Sounds like you are doing the "same old same old" Get a project that excites you and the adrenalin will just appear from nowhere regardless of age. Your health and weight can make a big difference too!

    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    Back in '69 and 70 the A bodies were the cheapest of them all and the only car a lot of us young guys could afford. Then we found out they were pretty quick!

    I tried, but I just can't take the commercials anymore!

    I totalled them up some time ago and there were between 12 and 17 15- 20 second commercials per break and i think in any given hour up to 80. So for 5 hours of night TV in the winter you can hit 400. Regular TV is not even watchable anymore....and do people actually buy Peloton exercise machines?

    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    Maybe the issue here is money. Some people are wealthy, some people aren't. How people got their wealth is a whole different subject.

    One Inch of Snow and School for Tomorrow is Canceled

    Nah..it's money.The bus lines are contracted and make the same whether the busses run or not. When they cancel they save bus drivers' wages and all the gas. Our schools remain open, only the busses stop! Big savings for the bus line!

    What am i missing??..

    what goes around comes around and you won't do well in the hobby taking advantage of people. My prices are very reasonable and usually guys can't get out of my driveway fast enough or get the smile off their face. But i buy lots of stuff and when in need i've been given "smokin" deals from the...

    Question, for all you guys that have lost weight?

    I don't think it matters when you eat Rusty. If you take in fewer calories than you require each day you will lose weight whether you like it or not. Hemi 71x has been doing this in spades and has certainly lost the weight he wanted to lose. I think 3500 calories is about a pound so consume a...

    Question, for all you guys that have lost weight?

    10 lbs. per week might be too much too fast. You have probably lost muscle mass instead of stored fat. Slow down to 2 or 3 pounds per month by cutting out sugary treats and replace with protein to maintain muscle mass. You need to eat lots..but lo calorie nutritious foods. I went down 34 lbs in...

    Ford 272 C.I. runs low 11's. Why do Mopar guys need 408's?

    i'm betting a lot of guys would love that .204 / .214 cam in their 14" tire 3.23 geared 340 or 360 A body. A blast to drive from idle to 4800 rpm! ...and i can hear all the murmurs!

    The hobby has changed so much in recent years. Used to be only Classics were restored or modified but anything and everything seems to be included anymore. For racing the easiest way to hp was usually chosen.But some guys like to be different or do something that is more difficult or...

    Don't worry about exercising to lose weight PR.Exercise will make you healthier for sure but weight loss is just math. If you eat more calories than you need you will gain weight and if you eat fewer calories than you need you will lose weight. Problem is everything is laced with sugar and we...

    Widowmaker and other Heart Problems Club

    Cholestrol is very controversial. I read that consuming it is not the problem because it is digested and used by your organs. Thought was that eating excessive simple carbs (sugar) are converted to cholestrol by your liver and saturates the blood causing problems? Survey of test mules showed a...

    Brand loyal or just like a good vehicle?

    My daily drivers have all been Hondas and my trucks have all been Toyotas for 40 years. I drove domestics until '81 and every one of them were terrible vehicles. As for my muscle car habit they are all Mopars and my first was a '71 340 Cuda in 1971.
