Amusing car stuff / funny / stories / pics , print / whatcha got

Sadly I have seen my tractor and my dozer like that only it was water and it was real.

 

In the opposite lane going in the other direction. What did I win?

 

I dunno, Beetle spotter recognition

 

I thought the 5th Beatle was the white one between Paul & George in this pic!

 

Any guesses on the year? I'm thinking '65?

 

Pete Best is in the Nova, the cop's pointing at him!

 

Had one walk up on me while I had it in my hand relieving myself . Just breaking daylight . Naturally he ask me “ how’s it going ?” !!!

 

That would be Billy Preston....
The man knows how to tickle the 88s....

 

Australian Custom Rodder, winter 1968

 

Over the years, I've seen many like that on display in various driveshaft shops.

 

If the U-jounts are the same size you can fix those by turning them around.

 

Perfect!.....

 

Add a six pack (3X2 Holleys) and enjoy!.........

 

I never twisted one like that but I did shatter the rear yoke on one behind a pretty strong 440 (over 50 years ago).

 

At a cruise many years ago there was a Model A coupe with a steering column drop made from a connecting rod. It had the sweetest bend in it so that the big end clamped around the column and the other end was absolutely vertical where it met the bottom of the dash. I asked the owner how he got the bend in the rod like that and his response was "that's just what it looked like when it came out of the side of the block."

 

Just having a little fun, this already got deleted off of the who has trucks thread, lets see how long this stays up!

I was racing the Olds one night with MT Drags and about 12 psi when I "rag-dolled" the axles, one of them so bad it pulled out of the posi carrier and sent the car toward the guardrail. After installing Dutchman hardened axles (and cleaning the driver's seat) I took it back to the strip. The next weakest link was the driveline which ended up like a pretzel stick (thus the Avatar pic).

 

Talking to my OLD. nabor. An authority about old age :
I said most of my friends are my age or older and they talk about all the loving they get from widows,, I ask
Damn, what can do, married 60 years?

He said Do what they do. —Lie like hell !!!

 

Does it shift gears when you slide the seat forward? Or maybe that's the reverse lockout.

 

That floor looks like a pickup floor. Maybe the seat doesn't slide.
