Agree, folks need to use some common sense. $300 for a 3:55 sure grip and that includes shipping. There has to be a catch.

WoW, wrong place at the wrong time.

Wives don’t cook like that. Men cook like that.

Having frog legs, tastes like chicken.

2:00 AM 1/1/23 and the internet is completely gone, zip, nada, no go finished. I was able to post this message using an alternative communication derivative called the crypto-net using a pass key provided by Sam Bankman-Fried. This wormhole telepathic variance stability insinuator will commence...

I doubt it, don’t know why they would? The postage has already been paid.

There is no guarantee that a box shipped via USPS will remain in any specific orientation during shipping. Also in the drop off process at the PO one of the questions is, does the package contain a liquid….? Anyone selling car brake parts should know that calipers contain residual brake fluid...

So it is a Gold Member, that certainly narrows it down. How did you pay?

Anyone that is restoring-rebuilding any kind of classic car with an eye on re selling to make money is in a different category than me. I re rebuilt-restored an '83 D150 to be my summertime daily driver and a '68 Barracuda to be my hot rod sport around car. I enjoyed the process of tearing the...

Thanks for your evaluation of my basic math skills. And WO HO to your car ownership history. I have actually met a few non assuming German car owners. Present company excluded.

I was in the car,,,did not see you. Have you actually driven one?

And I remember the Vega's and Pinto's of the 70's. Competition within the industry got us better cars, But 50 years down the road the last reincarnation of the Dodge Dart was not much to write home about. Evidence that corporate vehicle planners can still get it wrong. And this is a bit off...

Had recent rental car experience with two new cars that got great gas milage: 2022 Audi A4, drove from Indy to the UP of Michigan and back for the labor day Mackinaw Bridge walk. The Audi A4 was a fun ride, all the engine power that could ever be needed, quiet. great driving car. Got 42+ MPG...

I am considering a Fairlane myself, although that Mercury Comet has certainly caught my eye.

Been cutting grass with my 1972 Wheel Horse Raider 8 since 1980. I have had to weld up cracks in the mower deck a few times and change out spindle bearings more than once. Also rebuilt the Kohler K1 the winter before last. But this Wheel Horse will be in service cutting grass long after I am...

Agree, you don’t watch a movie like Two Lane Black Top for the story line, you watch it for the vibe.

I think that Steve McQueen’s best movie is LeMans, very little dialog and just a great race movie. Maybe the best race movie ever is Rush. Yes it is a F1 movie, but it is a true story about two of the best racers of that era that did their racing in one of the most dangerous time ever. If you...

I have a hunter friend that has a couple of wild hog pork bellies that he wants me to smoke. I have not seen them so I have no idea on the size or fat-meat content if that would make a difference. Any ideas on a good recipe?

actually I would stay quiet if I was a company with connections to that Mercury. Lawyers like to spread the blame around especially if some of the blame can go towards someone with deep pockets.

and don't wear a helmet or racing suit, be sure to do the runs in an area where there are innocent bystanders and plenty of hard objects to run into

Remember an object in motion, will stay in motion until something stops it. By positioning yourself against the object that you will collide into, you are minimizing the momentum ahead of the sudden stop. Of course if the occupants had shoulder belts, those belts would have limited the forward...

A couple of reasons why I recommended the first step to do in a moving vehicle without brakes would be to kill the ignition: 1) shutting the motor down, even if there was no compression braking would stop the powered forward momentum of the vehicle, just coasting it would slow some and give the...

Some folks get shoulder harnesses in pre ‘68 A bodies by installing modern seats from convertable cars that have the shoulder harness in the seat back. You have to know which ones to get so they function properly with out the OE ECU….

I still don’t understand why the driver did not simply turn the engine off via the keyed ignition or a kill switch. To me that is just another error in the chain of mistakes that lead up to the final event. In my 68 Barracuda I have in addition to the ignition key a toggle switch nearby that...

I have a B&M Ratchet Shifter and it will upshift and downshift through the forward gears without issue. All the guy had to do to slow and perhaps stop the car was to down shift to 1st and shut off the ignition. But then all they guy had to do to prevent the whole issue was to properly build and...

I have a friend that got too close to a protective Canadian Goose and when the goose charged at him he caught his foot on a tree root and fell down. The goose got right on him while he was down and was biting his face, fingers what ever was with in reach. Said he had to punch and kick with...

Back in college days, I had a buddy that had a nice 68 Olds Cutlass, at that point in time it was about a 6 year old car. He was from the Chicago area and one weekend we drove up there in his car to spend the weekend out on Rush Street. On the drive back South one of the front wheel bearing...

I am thinking the Bank Manager was in the market for a nice Merc and got the prize by delaying the OP.

Those XR Belted Hercules tires are a heck of tire!

I understand that parts listed for sale are for sale until money is exchanged. If someone asks for a quote and some one else shows up at the front door with cash in hand. The first person to exchange money gets the part. A request for a shipping quote is not an agreement to purchase. Providing...
