Hood scoop.

No one has said it yet - "Honey-Do" projects.... There are also plenty of those waiting to be done. ("I'll do it - You don't have to remind me every Spring." I hope I'm not that bad....)

Running 17" alloys on winter tires (Blizzaks - at my wife's insistence - it's "her car" anyway) on our 2019 Honda CR-V that came with 18s. I wanted steel wheels for the winter set, but apparently this model didn't have an option for steelies, and I couldn't find any after-market wheels that...

My first plea would be to "un-Christine" it. That movie is the worst thing that ever happened to a Plymouth. (Just my opinion, of course. They don't ALL have to be RED!)

When I was a kid back in Oklahoma, we often saw houses going down the road. Always had a guy riding on top, with a pole to push up the power lines. But I don't think I ever saw a two story one going through. Common house style was 'ranch' (single level). You want to leave room over the top...

Speaking of the thick glass lenses used in the older vehicles, could thinner plastic lenses stand up to the heat from the bulb, or was that not a factor in using glass instead of plastic, and why so thick? Then the deal about having a proper reflector. My 46 Plymouth just pokes the tail...

I bought a used snow blower a few years back - 50 bucks. Possibly the most well-spent $50.00 ever - since it seems to have kept the snow away ever since....

We had the weekly baths in a galvanized tub, as you said, but in the kitchen. The rest of the time it hung on a hook on the outside of the house. Outhouse out back. Running water at the kitchen sink. Flip the switch under the sink for the cistern pump. All of our water was either caught off...

Long time ago (1980), but I bought my 46 Plymouth w/o a title. First attempt (1981) I used the SN plus the tag that was on the car when I got it. In Oklahoma the tag belongs to the vehicle, not to the owner (as it is here in Ohio, at least now). Turned out the tag was from a completely...

We own two 2019 vehicles, a Ram Classic (4th Gen), and a Honda CR-V. So I am on discussion forums for those vehicles, and almost everything that gets discussed there is a computer related issue. And yeah, it's all very complicated. I've been tempted to make comments on those sites about that...

Doodlebugs. My dad talked about one that a local farmer had (in western Oklahoma). They had connected a second transmission behind the first one, only reversed. That gave them (if I'm not confusing myself, with what little I can remember of it) some really low range gearing, in both forward...

Paint it yellow with Photoshop??

I skipped ahead bit by bit in places, but this was an interesting video. Maybe especially about the shrinking disk, because that's something of a more recent development, something I've heard of, but hadn't ever seen used. When I was working on the dents in the roof of my 46 Plymouth (someone...

I grew up in Oklahoma, but in the humid north east part (north of Tulsa). These deals down work there - just makes it than much more humid. But out in central-west Oklahoma (like Enid area, on west) they work very well. On a trip out to California in around 1960, my Dad bought one for the...

More like a carousel pony.

If you want it done right, either do it yourself, or watch it being done. One thing is, if you do it yourself, then don't like the way it turned out, there are two main advantages: You didn't pay to have it done, and if you want to kick the rear end of the guy who done it, he's right handy.

People often say that it's cheaper to buy a vehicle that has already had the work done, because "You can never get your money back, and forget about your time." But a lot of the cars that look great on the outside are actually ones that should have a sign on them that says "Whatever you do...

The real news story in this case was that this pickup was sitting in backed up traffic, between two tractor trailer rigs. A third semi plowed into the back of the one behind him, and so hard that it compacted the full-sized pickup, and still shoved the front semi so hard that it crashed into...

I had high PSA reading for years, till the Doc finally stated right out that I needed to do the TURP surgery. (TransUrethral Resection of the Prostate) I was getting up MULTIPLE times during the night, with desperate need to urinate. (One night it was around a dozen times, and no matter how...

Reminds me of an old post card I have with the three monkeys on it - Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. (Did I get the last one right?) Anyway, I saw a 'meme' recently that had it all rolled into one - a monkey looking at a smart phone. (I have one, but use it mainly for business, and...
