Sudsmaster... I LOVE MOPARS! My first car was the '68 Charger that I mentioned and I still have it. I posted the following a few months back. It is a low res version of my '71 Super Bee GETTING IT ON! http://users.adelphia.net/~thormkt/webbee.wmv

I love parakeets! We had them growing up. My grandma had two of the green/yellow type. We had a few of the blue ones, then an all white one. The last one we got was a blue one, then went back to get the all bright yellow "albino" (although he just looked yellow to me) one that my mom thought...

Your dad and my dad said the same thing.... Quote: My Father once told me "If the government tells you this will be good for you, you better look closer as usually this change will profit somebody somewhere" Unquote My dad also got me thinking of other things in my early voting years. When...

Oh guess what they are putting in there! You guys will be SO pleased I am sure!!! (source: Wikipedia) # parking lot adjacent to Reliant Stadium, Reliant Astrodome, Reliant Arena, and Reliant Center. - most likely outcome # A minor airport # A hospital # Condominiums # A shopping mall (called...

Something interesting Back in 1983 when computers were really new, I worked at a computer store in LA. The guy that owned it had owned shoe stores before, and many of his clients were celebrities and he knew alot of people in the creative industries. Alot of them came in to buy computers from...

Hey back Rick! I know what you mean, and just a lap belt can "squeeze your insides" pretty good in a collision. But, it's vintage. A good reason why I don't do many silly manuevers with them, esp with kids in the car. I think back on our original Bonneville Station Wagon when I was a kid. I...

Ok does anyone remember On the old OLD (mid 1960s) Concentration game show, the amazing electric motor/solonoid sound of the three sided "squares" that made up the puzzle? I can still remember that noise--it was all mechanical! I wonder if the guy in back ever pushed the wrong button!!!

I agree and disagree I like padded dashes, improved safety glass, improved safer seats, crumple zones, roll bars, better suspension to avoid accidents, better lights, ABS, better tires--and I think we can even do better with seat belts. (racing car drivers have accidents all the time, and no...

Agreed! I had that same feeling the few times I went to Sam's Club. I am not rich, but I have the means to buy anything in there. You know, I have my compressor, I have most of the tools I need, I don't want super size anything, and I don't need another TV. There is nothing in these stores that...

Formica is funny.... people hear that word and just say terrible things about it. But I LOVE Formica! Talk about value. Our house in Denver was built in 1969/70. We had a very cool "70s" kitchen. White posts and cabinets, pass through window to "nook", multi color tile for the stove...

I supposed a case could be made... for a lot of active safety devices. In fact, if you made the speed limits 35mph, alot of fatalities would diminish. I think it breaks down to what you are willing to sacrifice in one area to have potential safety in another area. I don't like the idea of an...

Elitch Gardens, Denver Although a California native, spent some younger years (3-13) in Denver. Denver had two amusement parks, Lakeside (never went there) and Elitch Gardens. Elitch's had started out as gardens and a playhouse way back at the beginning of the century. By the 60s and early...

I have never liked airbags People swear that these save lives, but then again, you can never prove they saved a life, because the person is alive! I don't like the thoughts of explosive devices of any type in cars. They have recently worked to make these safer, but still, I don't like it...

Speaking of Panasonic... I always wanted one of the super small Panasonic portables. Somewhere packed away I have my old RQ-209 cassette tape recorder. I used to look through the product manual that came with it at everything from radios, bizarre TVs and even fondue makers. Here is my SD85...

Speaking of ugly And PLEASE take no offense if anyone here has anyone of these. I love an old BMW Isetta, so taste is very personal! If there is any question about bias in the automotive journalism world, you need not look past my sore spot, the dogpile on the Pontiac Aztek as the worlds...

While out today.... Saw a Nissan Figuro! Now I don't like Japanese cars at all, but this one was cool. http://www.microcar.org/carspecs/nissanfigaro.html

The Challenger... has a 1971 'Cuda-esqe grille to it. I like it, but I wish these cars were not so stubby. THIS is the car that enthusiasts, including myself, wish they had made:

Misc thoughts... Cybrvanr----great comparo. I still want to see your vintage Chevy van pics...that was you, right? southernmdgeguy--I am glad you liked the Cad...I have to get some new plug wires for it. I did the deal where I picked up the wire when the car was running and felt the shock from...

I have both a 1968 Dodge Charger and a 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee. I have had the '68 since a junior in high school, and love both these cars. As you can imagine, I was very excited upon hearing of the Charger coming back. There was a retro 1999 Charger Show Car that was just perfect...

Similar problem.... I tried a few things from my own ideas and thoughts from folks here. I noticed that I would do a load of clothes, and as they were drying in the dryer, the dryer exhaust had that "mildewy" smell...yech. So I ran three loads of hot water with bleach through my washer. Then...
