    Best/Worst comments about your Rat

    Only have a worst: the wife keeps asking "when can you move your Jeep out of the garage??" Me: when it's running and done. Zip it.

    350 Olds

    Had a 67 Cutlass that had a 330. Not the swiftest dog in the kennel, but never gave any probs. the 350 is a bit later and more desirable in my opinion. The 455 is right up there with the Buick 455. Cheap, bulletproof, powerful.

    You won't have me to kick around anymore !

    Don, you gotta keep up with RRR. I know taking prospective buyers on a "test drive" in a 38 foot Donzi is tough, but with wifi smart phones, you can stay up with current posts, so that is what we expect. I have about 4 years left before I check out of the workin world. I've been at the same...

    American Retro

    "bloated Challenger"...............this is a perfect description. Looking at the new version leaves me wondering what is different from the originals. The new ones are taller from the ground to the bumpers or something. They look top heavy to me. Still cant put my finger on it, but bloated...

    So my 14 year old has been bugging me for a stripping brush.

    Heck yeah, looks GOOD for a first attempt, especially for 14 years old! My hands shake so bad it would look crappy unless I used a 3" brush on the end of a barn. I'm jealous.

    Chevy dealership has man arrested for theft.

    The police should have done some investigating before arresting the guy. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Bet they never asked to see a contract. Maybe the constable should get a little community service or something.

    When life gives you lemons...

    Everything happens for a reason...sometimes it is in your favor. Back in the day I went to see an MGA that needed a rear axle. I agreed to buy the car and went to a junkyard and got a rear. When I went back to get the car, the D-bag sold it out from under me IN 1 DAY. He told me the buyer's...
