    The Grinch hard rock version!

    Small Town Titans has been making music since 2011, but because of what these three musicians have done with the Grinch, in the past week they are rapidly gaining popularity for the music they write themselves too. Check them out, FABO!

    Why did Mopar make so many green cars?

    A troll who constantly bashes Mopars on another site asked this question. We know Earth-tones were popular around 1970 with all of the Big 3 because of the "save the Earth" mood. But why was green seen on so many Mopars? Anyone here have special knowledge of this?

    Thanksgiving Tradition from 1967

    This is a classic American song from when our Mopars were new...Arlo Guthrie explains it as an "anti-stupidity" song...here is a taste of something uniquely American for our members from other countries to enjoy along with us. It has become popular to play this on Thanksgiving Day.

    Post your unexpected a-body encounters

    Late '80's from a passenger ferry leaving Cancun I was looking at all the taxis lined up, non-descript foreign econo-boxes all painted red, except for one '65 Valiant, and thought, I hope it's there when we return so we can take it back into town. Well sure enough it was, the ride was notably...

    Jobs of your ancestors

    Seen a member's thread where he discovered a great-grandmother was a fat lady in the circus. Thought it might be interesting if we start a list of occupations we know of further down our family trees. Just to remember those people who made the way for us and what they did. Many professions you...

    Help to quit smoking

    Not sure why this idea crossed my mind late last night, but, just in case it is useful to someone.... Years ago a bartender strongly recommended this book, so I gave it a try. It's called You Can Stop Smoking by Jacqueline Rogers. She was a heavy smoker herself and came up with this program...

    RIP Barbara Hale

    So many of us remember the line "Della, get Paul on the phone" from Perry Mason. She was his brainy and faithful private secretary Della Street. It's a series worth re-watching for all the 50's and 60's cars and the crafty criminals. We also remember her commercials for the Amana Radarange...

    FABO friends introduce me to their Minnesota Nice life

    Last week I lived five of the best days of my life, thanks to Keith and Pete (66340Sedan and FISHYPETE.) I met their friends and saw many things, but what I gained more than anything is becoming closer friends ourselves. Keith has many photos to share too. Here's a start, all these were taken at...

    RIP Patty Duke

    Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe winner, young Helen Keller on Broadway and film, her own TV series, mental health advocate...hell of a game show player to boot...sad to learn of her passing. Whatever you watch her in, she had a real gift for acting. She will be missed.

    To ALL FABO members

    It's a time of reflection and I just want to say, Everyone here matters. All of us. Think of your pet peeve. I bet it's something that in some way is saying you have less value than someone. It's so easy to show someone they're important. If you're a boss, instead of saying "because I...

    Happy Mother's Day! Favorite photo of Mom?

    Just thought we should honor our Moms since it's Mother's Day. They have the most important job, but most of us can't know what it's like. Mine has done a lot of amazing things, but she rarely talks about them. Here's a favorite photo, she was in her '20's, on a shakedown cruise of the sailboat...

    RIP Jayne Meadows

    She might not be well-known to the current generation, but a talented actress, intelligent and witty conversationalist, classy lady and role model, and beautiful. Devoted wife of the late Steve Allen. She's from an era where a woman could be powerful while always behaving like a lady...

    A Gift from Memike's Mom, Donna Slater

    Mike shared this with my a few years ago. I noticed it was on You Tube now, and Mike asked me to post this song, written and performed by his Mom. Set aside a time to be still and really take in something very pure and beautiful.... ""]Hello Stranger - YouTube If the video won't play here...

    2014 Christmas Tree Thread

    Let's see FABO members Christmas trees! It's been years since I've put up a tree, being single, etc., but this year I got the urge...normally I'd go for a traditional look but I saw a "peacock" tree on display, since blue and green are my favorite colors figured out my own version and went...

    'Tis the season for computer hackers...

    Just a reminder to be on the lookout for phony emails. I got an email that looked like it was from FedEx. Saying a package could not be delivered and telling me to print a label. Not thinking, I did it. Then I scrutinized the email more carefully and it's suspicious. I hope I'm not in for a...

    Sweet Valiant CL Georgia

    Fairburn GA....oddly 2 of my Mopars have come from there. Just thinking you don't see many in this shape, nice bench seat w/armrest, wouldn't it be a comfy cruiser and with 318 it scoots along nicely. Sigh. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/cto/4670076213.html

    I just got a call from a family friend who traveled with my Dad to Lakeland FL for the annual Fly-In where they volunteer.

    Fun little art project

    My friend needed help naming his '85 Chevy short bed, brown & tan two-tone, I said how about Boo Boo (Yogi Bear's sidekick) then I said I'd make him a plate for it, he had the idea Kiss My Boo Boo. So I did the best I could but the hands aren't as steady as they once were!

    Perry Mason

    Just saying, a while back I started watching all the old Perry Mason dvd's, from the library. It ran from around '57 til '64 so the cars are cool even though not too many Mopars. They made so many episodes, I still have not seen them all. I don't really like what's on TV today. I like seeing...
