Wow.. just saw that yesterday. Hertz filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy about a week back. Chapter 11 is for re-organization protection. I have done a ton of biz travel for 35+ years, and Hertz was always there. So much for being a Gold Club member LOL Looking back into rates for car rentals in...

For those who want to be informed and want to understand the 'why' of the measures that are being taken, and can be taken, to best control the corona virus, here is an excellent article that brings it all together. This is offered to help understanding; it is a bit of a long read but VERY well...

This is not for a Mopar but I have an old Norris cam in good shape but can't quite decipher all the stampings..... Pix attached. The question is about the 'SH' designation. From what I have been able to find about the Norris cam world, 'S' for solids and 'H' is for hydraulics. So is 'SH' for...

Not a good idea to go driving on the beach as a hurricane approaches. This is supposedly live from Myrtle Beach:

I saw this posted on another automotive forum and it just floored me..... thought your guys would appreciate this part of a post by a guy who thinks he know what he is doing: "I didn't mention all of the attention and tests that the tuner gave to cylinders 1+2. He showed me that cylinder #2 was...

Built a 'car corral' to make the County happy.... thought I had put in margin to fit 2 certain rally cars in side-by-side. In the process, those posts got moved a few inches.... glad they did not get moved any further! Had to take the mirrors off of the All-Trac LOL

The 2nd segment explains it all.... when they fall off, they can't get up....

I ran across this site that I figure the FABO crowd would enjoy. Mopar actually had quite a history in rallying in the US/Canada and had parts and support for the Colts and Arrows for many years. If you have an old Direct Connection book, all those sections for the 1.6/2.0/2.6l were all directed...

If you have not spent any/much time in WY, you may not appreciate how windy as it is in some parts of the state. Overall, it has the highest average annual wind of any of the US states. I like this article; the 1st pix is a priceless and humorous indicator of how windy it is there. Wyoming...

Having one of our every 3-5 year tree-bustin' ice storms on Afton Mtn in VA, with almost 1/2" of ice on everything. Road's blocked right now; generator and wood stove going. Had a mature oak tree break 15-20 years ago in the front yard, right in the trunk, and it sounded like a howitzer going...

Wish I was quicker with my phone camera.... drove past a pick-up on I-64 in eastern KY a while ago, and the angle between the front of the bed and the back of the cab was at least 15 degrees! Doing at least 65 mph LOL

I don't watch them as I think stadium racing is boring.... but I'm watching right now on CBSSN with these trucks racing on the Long Breach street course... and it is actually damned fun to watch. 150 mph on the long straight, and 3-4 jumps.... with the longest jump at over 100 MPH and covering...

I am used to seeing fuel turn color pretty quickly anymore but I was pleasantly surprised to see some good 4 month old fuel. This fuel was pumped into my snowmobile back in the 1st week of February, and I just pumped it out. Looks almost crystal clear and has no skunky smell at all. This was...

We may be taking a trip to the Montana mountains in January and will use our diesel pickup. For those who runs diesels in the Dakotas and Montana, do most of the truck stops have pumps with straight #1 in them in wintertime? We may well be seeing some -30 to -40F temps in the mountains where we...

Anyone up to snowmobiling in Yellowstone National Park this winter? My son and I are seriously thinking about entering the annual lottery for non-guided snowmobile permits and it allows up to 5 in the party. If we were lucky enough to get one (there are only 4 total issued per day, 1 from each...

Strange..... my 2016 2500 CTD told me this afternoon that is wanted to do a SW update. So I started it this evening after today's work trip; I assume it has to be coming via satellite link. Then it occurred to me that the truck had rolled over 36,000 miles in the middle leg of today's trip, and...

Then you could be impressed with this event too. My son and are traveling to work in KY today, and were westbound on I-64 in VA, almost to the WV border. We were climbing up a long valley only about 1/10 mile wide and 700-800' deep when we spotted an odd looking bird....which turned out to be an...

Anyone else having problems getting onto the For B Bodies Only site? I have been able to log in just once in 6-7 days; I mostly get "Server not available" responses. I have not issues with FABO logins.

FWIW... you may find this amusing but instructive about people's attitudes...... When I moved to this area, after living near Charlottesville, VA for 2 years, I finally settled across the Blue Ridge Mtns. C'ville is a regional bastion of elitism and the associated politics; it has a poor balance...

I just popped opened the cap on a Newcastle Brown Ale and found the following message: " You will never get back the 5 seconds it took to read this message." Gosh! They are right LOL..... Not to mention the minutes wasted telling you about it... and the time you wasted reading this. Don't you...

You see such interesting descriptions and stories on Craigslist. Saw this one phrase today about a Mopar for sale that I just can't shake out of my mind: "Being a forgetful fool I let block freeze and crack block but its to the outside , jb welded it not perfect but works I drive this car...

Takes me back to my young days when my dad took me to some NASCAR Grand Nationals in the 60's. Fred Lorenzen was a smart guy and did good; he was a real threat to win any NASCAR Grand National in his time, and won a bunch. He was drving one of my favorite NASCAR cars ('63 Galaxie) in the first...

First one that has been spotted this close to the house in 24 years of living on the mountain here (Blue Ridge Mtns, near Waynesboro, VA). Opened the front door and the cats came running in unusually fast and I went out to the work trailer and heard air hissing from a tire.....hmmm, there is no...

My wife ran across this pix of me and my then 15-18 month old son in the old garage in Indiana....can't get 'em started too early!
