    New poll: What would you do and why?

    Went and looked at an engine that was listed on Craigslist yesterday. The listing said it was a 318 with a 904 transmission and the asking price was $100. Showed up at the address and the house seemed deserted and there was a for sale sign in the yard but there was a car in the driveway. When I...

    Extreme Trivia

    Got this today in the Rock Auto newsletter and thought I would pass it along.... The ZAZ Zaporozhets was the Soviet Union's least expensive car. More than 3 million "Zappos" with air-cooled, rear mounted engines were built at the ZAZ factory in the Ukraine from the 1960s until the early...

    Hester puked her guts

    Yesterday a very sad thing happened. Hester (my '66 Valiant) spit the number 5 rod out of the oil pan. This is after spending the last 2 months getting a new clutch and a working tranny installed (1 clutch swap, 2 tranny swaps). It could be worse, at least all I have to do is decide which engine...

    Good Guy Alert

    Kudos to pha pha. He sent me the kickdown and throttle linkage off his '66 Signet and here is what he had to say about payment: "No charge. It was only $10.00 to ship. The advice you gave was well worth it. Thanks again." By the way, he is looking for a pair of tail light lenses for a '63...

    Anybody ever hear of an outfit called People to People International? Supposedly started in 1956 by President Eisenhower. My youngest son, Luke, has been invited to attend a World Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C. for a week this summer. Just wondering if they are legit enough for me to sell...

    Chrysler's railroad

    My brother in law sent me this email. He is employed by American Showa in Delaware, OH as a production specialist and basically keeps the plant running and producing shocks and struts for almost all the manufacturers in this country. Don't know about you, but I find this extremely disturbing if...

    Success

    Took the boys fishing again. This time we went to a farm pond that Papaw knew about. The fish weren't very big but there was lots of 'em and they were hungry. The boys actually caught something this time and had a blast. I think they're hooked. They have been pestering me non stop about the next...

    Why we do this

    In case you ever get to wonderin' if all the money and time we pour into this hobby is worth it, here's a little reminder. Right now I have a deliriously happy 13 year old 'cause he helped dad change a starter on the car. I broke all the fasteners loose and did the final tightening, but he did...

    Ultimate Absurdity

    Inadvertently read a news story about the recent "debate" between the Democratic presidential hopefuls. The gist of the story was how unfair it was for all the candidates to gang up and attack Hillary Clinton's character. Is it just me, or do you find it a little absurd that the media and the...
