I REALLY need to buckle down and learn to TIG aluminum. Probably won't, but I need to...

I told the used car dealers I talked to "If it ain't got a clutch, I ain't interested!"

I'm gonna go by my mechanic's place tomorrow and see when he can fit me in. I'd like to get it up on the lift and have a peek...

I'll have to do that on a cloudy day, otherwise the glare is likely to burn out yer monitor...

A high-lift, long duration cam will make for a VERY lumpy idle. At extremes, some won't idle at all below 2 or 3000 RPM. Makes a...

I just checked the tires and the date code is 4019 or 40th week of 2019, so while old they're not ancient. Much more comfortable with...

A buddy who gets the "Christmas Morning" aspect of getting a new car offered to ride down with me today and pick it up vs. waiting for...

"Self loading cargo" he sez. That took me a second...:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Okay, that was just cruel. Funny as hell, but cruel...:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Yeah, I may have screwed up there, because I set the value at what I paid for it, which was well below KBB private sale value. OTOH...

Highly likely. I didn't (intentionally) ride in the rain either. At least this way if I get caught away from home I can just put the...

Got it bought. Arranging insurance and registration now, daughter will take me back down Saturday to pick it up. Exactly as...

I got a quote from them and it was about 1/3 of the quote from my regular guy (State Farm). Definitely going with them if the deal is...

I'm seeing $200-ish each retail and my tire guy can usually treat me a little better. But yeah, change from a grand ain't gonna buy...

Just found out it's a ragtop, which bums me, but isn't (quite) a deal breaker. And texted the owner, they could very well be the OEM...

As it happens, I talked to the owner of the building - also the prospective coffee shop proprietor - yesterday and it's still on hold...

Indeed. That requirement has narrowed my search considerably. To respond to other comments, being able to get in/out is going to be a...

Question: If I start driving a Vette at age 73, do I need to get the white patent leather shoes and belt and a snap brim hat? EDIT...

But barring something major, I dood it! '90 Corvette, 350/6 speed, in my price range. Going to look it at Wednesday. Taking a wad of...

Oh my! That era is my Holy Grail of pickups. There are two that I know of in the neighborhood, one right across the corner from me...

May not be, don't know yet. A Miata would be a mistake, it'd take a crane to get me out of one after 20 minutes. Something with 4...

Gosh, thanks for thinking of me guys, but I'm SELLING motorcycles, not buying them... I think there's a Gen4 Mustang GT calling my...

That's exactly like the one I had in the Philippines in 1971. Same color and everything. Good Times... $53 a month for a Goat. You...

Grandson just texted me that he got home safely on his new toy. He said "This thing is dangerously fun!" Exactly right, if you give...

{Sniffs, wipes tear from cheek...} Grandson just rode off on the FJ. Big chapter of my life comes to a close. That FJ was the most...

I'd need a stop calendar to time the printing on those things!

It does settle out which can be a problem if it's a long term project. I suspect it works because the acetone will creep into tighter...

Oh, fer shure. Too many great people (and great bikes), I'll leave here when they carry me out... @WideAWAKE that's exactly the Jeep...

That it does, but I had more than 55 years of two-wheeled fun with nothing worse than a little Honda Rash and a few pair of ruined...
