    The move over grille picture came from a New Zealand car show I think from old skool carz magazine. Have a safe and Happy New Year all!:)

    Hey, now..., well OK, probably due to the guy driving it.
    By the time I had the 4 speed Road Runner (my 2nd of 3, not counting the dirt track racers, it was the hottest street car I ever had), I was a responsible adult of about 25 years old, with a wife and 2 kids, and a house with in 3 years of being paid for! I even had a real job in the maintenance department at a union shop factory, in the heavy machine repair department. My wife had a car, I had a truck to go to work in, that Road Runner was my toy (it may have been involved in a bit of street racing...) 100_0792.JPG
    Pic at the Mopar Nats in 1981ish, stuffed Road Runner on the hood. I sold the car in 82 (less the drive train) to cover the cost of the lawyer when we bought our 2nd house. Never got any kind of traffic ticket in that car, I knew how to play that game.

    Nice road runner Gene I went to high school for auto body and college for a degree in automotive technology in Springfield MA. Had a lot of fun .my buddy in school had a green and dark green top '68 GTX 440 6 pack it was one of the fastest car I've ever ridden shot gun in especially at 147mph and climbing the sound coming from under the hood of that thing was simply awesome. Good times back in '79 .:) IMG_20260101_134546194~2.jpg That's my mopar story happy new year everyone

    That is one of those that is only funny because you are not the one who slipped on the banana peal.

    I sure hope that that is AI or was staged for the Kodak moment.

    I'm guessing AI. That bomb (or whatever it is) is too long to have actually come out of that door.

    That's an old photo. I think it's real, but I guess that the forklift was backing up and the weight of its load made it tip. It's s****ed the pavement as it went down and back.

    My friend hauled those things from Hawthorn, NV to the Fallon Naval Air base (Top Gun). He rolled a full truck load and walked away. They are far less dangerous before they are "armed".
