When the pandemic hit and shut everything down, I hadn't driven my cars except to keep up the batteries. I sold my cars just in case anything happens to me so my wife wouldn't have to go through the pain of selling them. When the Government sent out the first stimulus check, I was pretty well...

Back in '88, there was a TV show called "High Risk". If you have Netflix, go to Reality TV Shows and find "High Risk", which is one of the last shows. Season 1, episode 5, you will see me stopping a suspected car thief. Turns out, it was a car repossession. I'm at the 9:00 mark with my partner...

I'll be damned. The headlights on my truck were so yellowed, I looked at a YouTube video on ow to clean it. Sandpaper, a little elbow grease and some clear, the look as good as new. Then my daily driver needed new wiper blades. New or old, they always squeaked and skipped. Back to YouTube and...

Funny how the rich drive up prices of collector cars because $100,000 is like $20 to normal people. In this economy, some of the prices at Barrett Jackson are insane :eek:. I sold my '65 Biscayne to a neighbor a few years ago. It was all new. Motor, trans, rear end, chrome and interior. The...

Back in '65, Chevy sold a Biscayne with a "Drag Pack" option. It was a 425 hp 396 with a 4 speed. I found one years ago, all original but the price was $75K. It was then, I decided to build my own. I found my car in San Diego. It was a 283 and 3 speed. The owner had repainted the car but having...

This is my '63 Grand Prix. The motor is a 389, rebuilt to GTO specs. I had to replace the Slim Jim with a 350th. The car was also repainted 13 years ago, but other than those things, she's all original. I did have to fix the A/C though and now she perfect.

My wife and I had breakfast at Ruby's Diner Saturday morning. A Corvette club was having a car show, so after we ate, we walked around. Since they were still setting up, there weren't that many cars yet. But one lady attracted our attention. (Note last picture) She's pulling pebbles from her...

I decided to drive my Pontiac to the Edelbrock Show, but not enter as it was $50. The show started at 10 am so I got there at 9 am. I figured to take video/photos of the cars arriving. The area around the show was so packed with car trailers :(, I didn't want to leave my car several blocks away...

Way back in '69, I was working in a Mobil gas station after school. The prom was coming up and my coworkers asked me what car I was taking to the prom. I told them I was driving my '64 Bug. One guy had a '67 GYX and the other guy had a '67 Camaro. They said, "You can't take a Bug, take one of...

I just received an e-mail from an old street racing buddy that I've stayed in touch with. Another mutual friend had gone to the Drag Races with his Vega and ran into Larry Dixon Jr. Apparently, Larry Dixon was talking about an interview he had given. When asked who was the most intimidating at...

Any of the old farts on here attending the Senior Games in a city or town near you? They are having our games in Pasadena, Ca. My buddy, who is 66, got the gold medal in his age and weight group, for push-ups. He did 87. Yesterday, he cranked out 133 but now his shoulder is hurting. I'm hoping...
