Forgot to say no pinguments here I hope.

Wow, nice. Do you need a long lost son?

I use Hagerty. $150 a year full coverage, guaranteed $10,000 value.

Boy you are a glutton for punishment.

My friend in high school had a late 60's mg. He could tap the gas right when he pushed in the clutch and it would backfire. He loved making the girls jump.

New meaning for the term rat rod. Means it has rats.

Lot of cool cars here but no one is saying how long they have had them or how much they paid. Had my big Buick Riviera 27 years and paid $400. Here is a before shot. My son is 27 now.

Not only that but you can stand inside the engine compartment to work on it.

Is that Road Atlanta?

Oh snap, my dad had one just like that except yellow. The side pipes had little diamond shapes cut out of them. My stepmom would get out and burn little diamonds into her legs. I loved that car.

That's the elcorvetto model.

Awesome
I have insurance thru Hagerty on my big Buick. Full coverage, $15,000 guaranteed. It's $135 a year. Also since it's over 25 years old it doesn't require an inspection. Taxes and tags last year were $45 and mechanical parts are dirt cheap. Just don't dent it, sheet metal isn't.

Sometimes I don't get people buying tiny new cracker boxes for $20,000 and then paying $700~$800 or more a year for insurance and a couple more hundred in taxes. I can fix a lot of stuff for $20,000.

Hey everybody. I got new mufflers today. How do you like them?

If I did that I would have to change the big decal in the back window to "squirrel feeder". I can't do that, I spent all my money on the awesome pipes.

Thats great. I actually got that off the "people of Walmart"

Oh tilt, I got the freak in sheet today. Thanks again. I will have to go to Walmart and get a frame so I can hang it.

Hey... they got the steering wheel on the wrong side and a MPH speedometer. They just cant get anything right.

I had to look it up to see what it sounds like.

Oh 928s, DO NOT lock your keys inside. It is possible from the passenger side. There is only one specialty tool you can use and no one has it anymore.
The correct key blank is HF55. It is not a high security key so pretty cheap. Get copies now.

58?

I still have my trail 70. The faster red one, not the crappy gold or blue. Ha ha.

That thing can sit for months, turn on the gas, hit the choke and kick it twice and off you go.

The problem is the gears are backwards from other motorcycles. Down is a higher gear up is lower. I always go to shift up and about go over the handlebars.

Damn you got heavy jacks. How do you move them around?

Until you get a flat and have to be towed at 2:00am.

They saved me on Monday night. Glad T had it.

While not technically a car, the idiots at my work are bound and determined to waste as much money as possible. We can get small vans like the Ford transit or Nissan nv200 on contract for $14,000. Those are not green enough so we buy these at $20,002. They are always broke down with problems and good luck when it's cold out.

I won't. I still have a full size ford van. When "real" vans have to be replaced expect a cart. If I even hear a squeak I write a w/o for the mechanics.

You could fit 2 of those in 1 parking spot.

Watch out. It looks like that dog needs to pee.

Well duh.. they've been lowered.

Black is so hard to keep looking nice. Every little mark is like a magnifying glass looking through a microscope.

Yea like $500 water pumps and $800 headlights.

You bastards got me listening to car exhausts on youtube for 1/2 an hour. No wonder I can't get any thing done. Oh look, a squirrel.

There are like a thousand videos of just exhaust and engine sounds.

The interiors of Cadillacs and vettes of that era do not hold up well. I bet the leather on the original seats were cracked all to pieces. Fitting those Vette door keys when lost are a pain in the ass but the telescoping steering columns are great. I can fit switch keys in 5 minutes.

I always hated fitting Fiero door locks unless it had the rear hatch release. GM said remove the outer door skin instead of the interior panel. The battery is in the engine compartment and if it dead the release won't work. Here's a tip I figured out. Take jumper cables from your truck and hook the negative to the brake pedal arm and a probe from the positive to the fuse for the release and push the button. Save you an hour and a lot of cussing.

Guys from work say how do you remember all that shit and I say because I literally did thousands of them. We did all the dealership repo's for $35 each. Great when you got a Honda (every lock has a code) or a Nissan with the code in the glove box. Sucked when you got a Saab or a Renault. Guess it all averaged out. I have fit keys for some REALLY nice cars over the last 35 years.

5 hp. Oh wait, that would double it. Make that 2 extra hp.
