Cool off topic pics of off topic stuff

You poor underprivileged kid. I’m sorry for your abusive childhood.

 

Yea, me too!
I was thinking the same thing.
I abused my kids with the 60s & 70s Mopar version of those pictures. I was smart enough not to keep picture proof...

 

I figured you hot rodders may enjoy the name of the preacher's sermon in the second paragraph.... Lol

I've seen a few V8 Corvairs in my day but most were mid engine. I was not expecting to see this engine in the rear of one!

 

This when Elvis kicked ****! Not that Vegas ****, may the Colonel rot in hell for what he did to him!!!! He was my Beatles!!

 

Mind blowing that Elvis was that huge yet blind to the control he was under. Never did Europe because the Colonel couldn't travel there. Fleeced so bad.

Better music, cheaper prices.

 

Just think, $2 could buy a 1/2 tank of gas (8 gallons, maybe more) back in 68, a whole night of cruising around with friends!
That $2 probably can't even buy a 1/2 gallon of gas these days.

 

gas shortage here due to War
we are paying up to A$2.60 per litre

 

A cool pic, and a cool story to go with it.

Cheers,

I use to go to the Filmore East, get 3 bands for $7.50 all name acts!

 

Very true. And yet without the Colonel, we likely would never have heard of Elvis and he may have indeed ended up being an electrician...

I think Elvis was probably scared to go a different direction because he got everything he had thru the man, and he was a trusted man and pretty much a member of the family. Indeed even today everyone not involved insists he was evil, and family members and those close said he was an amazing man and Elvis loved him. Complex relationship to be sure.
