    Attention all campers, this just in: PEOPLE SUCK. Its so hard to know who to trust anymore. What did the azzhat say when you found it it wasnt the same car he advertised? I hope you let him have it verbally at least. I woulda been po'd. make sure you report the seller on CL.....

    Which engine is Cooler?

    Well, I have heard stock Hemi with headers and pipes (and cats) and they are just (sorta) loud.....still too smooth. If you take off the cats and such, you get into the "souped up" realm......I assumed we were talking stock, and that's why I said "unless it is all hopped up". It isn't just...

    Which engine is Cooler?

    I like the thought of a new HEMI engine in an old Mopar, but unless its all hopped up, it is too quiet and smooth to be the coolest. Nothing like an old school engine (big or small block) IMHO....the look, the sound, the smells.......Of course you get more HP out of a stock new Hemi than a...

    Is Your Wife Supportive?

    Tell her that while some guys are out whoring around cheating on their wives, or out with the boys spending money on god knows what, she knows where you are.....out in the garage working on the car....and where the money is going.

    BMW drivers, why??

    Sorry if I came off as judgemental -- it was a ***** of a day and frankly I have been known to do the same thing if the guy is being a real jerk.....so i cant condemn anyone else for doing it...LOL Hell, the whole trip back from NC thru VA it was @sshole after @sshole riding my @ss and then...

    BMW drivers, why??

    I have a neighbor who I had a run in with a while back.....he now likes to play chicken of sorts (not full on chicken, but definately pushing over the line)when we meet coming around corners. I just stay in my lane and he always swerves. I cant tell if he is playing games or is just a sh!tty...

    BMW drivers, why??

    Hope you are joking. That kind of behavoior is what causes accidents and I see it all the time. People playing "Quien es mas macho." Why not just let the person who wants to go faster pass? I dont mean pull over and let him by, but just NOT intentionally play f-around with a 3,000 lb+ weapon...

    Anyone Else Reek Like Their Car?

    When I get home from a drive my wife says the whole house smells like Barracuda fumes. I just laugh and say "Thems aint fumes...thats fish breath!". :cheers: I love the smell. Especially walking into the garage after a drive and smelling all the various warm car smells. Best smell in the...

    I GOT A TICKET/NOTICE for my car thats in the driveway.

    Most cities /residential areas do have codes against unlicensed-plated/unregistered vehicles being in your yard. Most dont enforce very hard unless someone complains. Probably some @sshole neighbor with a grudge or who is just a prick turned you in. Pissed anyone off lately?

    Darn UPS shipping killing deals - Year One

    UPS "can" be cheap for vendors if they have an agreement with UPS. My company does and I can ship a small, light package from PA to CA for $5.00...same thing using retail rates is like $15.00 Vendors who have a lot of volume can strike deals with the shippers. Those companies who just...

    wild ride down a 175feet bluff

    Same here......if its was the road that gave way it wasnt your fault, it was the county's/state's whatever. Go after them.. Why should you absorb the loss for their poor engineering? You already pay taxes to them. That said, glad you are relatively OK. Heal them ribs quick.

    I received a bad part. What should I do?

    Mike, glad to see you come forward on this. It says a lot about you. :salut: I have seen a lot of feedback about you and you sure seem like a good guy to me. I am certain you weren't trying to screw over anyone. You went with what you thought about the part and went out on a limb and said it...

    I received a bad part. What should I do?

    Paypal is a good way to go but not always easy. I sold a part for a steam cleaner on ebay.....buyer used paypal. In my ad it clearly stated that I was not sure what all units it fit, but that it did NOT fit my unit and I gave that model #. I also posted a link to the Hoover website where it...

    I received a bad part. What should I do?

    What is the seller's reasoning that you should eat any of the cost here? To some degree, when you buy used stuff sight unseen you do take a gamble. But when you bank on the seller's description, it shifts a lot of the "blame" here to the seller. If he had said "its a used piece, I have no...

    Not an A Body but, what a Mopar restoration !!

    Holy mackeral......thats a fine tribute to what CAN be done! But calling that car anything that even infers "original" reminds me of that old old movie where a cop is blown to bits by the bad guys...limbs all blown off, etc, and they rebuild him with mechanical parts and turn him into a crime...

    Hang in there 64X2. I get the same way sometimes.....as has been said, life happens. I would love to have a built engine, overdrive tranny and huge rear end , leather interior, perfect paintjob on my car. But for me this is a hobby and a passion that has to be balanced into the actual...

    Amazing where cars can end up

    WOW! Thats a find! Wonder how long it was tucked away? A Flurd engine in a MOPAR....thats BLASPHEMY! LOL The valve covers and intake and air cleaner remind me of the 312 in my Dad's old 56 Mercury.......

    Desert Car Kings

    Just to add my two cents here -- How does that the fact that you found a steal from a fellow FABO member in any way mean that a business should match those prices? Not sure if you remember this or not, but months ago I posted a fender for an early dart for sale here for my aunt and uncle....it...
