I agree with the comment that Sonics are not quite the same, but they're about the only drive-in service still around. We have a lot of Sonics in...
Those little red signs That I wish I'd saved. Always clever, For Burma Shave
I too favor discouragement over extermination. The peppermint oil or dryer sheets sound like good solutions. Critters gotta live too - just...
I grew up in CT, had a paper route in the late 50s delivering the Hartford Courant in the early AM every day. A few times in knee deep + snow. Now...
Stance first for me. If the stance is right but wheels/tires are wrong, that's a whole lot easier fix than the other way around. Stance is the...
My grandfather had one too. Always been one of my favorites.
"Totally illogical." Mr. Spock
Way cool. An all aluminum flattie - whooda thunk? I gotta wonder about the connection between engine and prop. It must have been quite a...
I can remember as a youngster in the mid 50s going to visit some relatives in KY. Two were old great aunts who had retired from careers as nurses...
I can't quite step up to flying down a gravel road or a dirt track, but at 71, I have learned a parallel lesson. Previous rides, I was one of...
It would be fine with me if heaven turns out to be that I get permanently plopped into the AG movie. I grin so hard every time I watch it that it...
I've never worked with linseed oil, but use lacquer thinner for a variety of purposes, and always worried about rag fires. Or the vapors...
I'd think so. I paid $800 about 4 years ago for an M20 and Hurst Comp Plus shifter.
I'm 71, still a kid, and the dream searches are on screen instead of on paper. There are 3-4 websites I spend way too much time on doing exactly...

My grandson has a '61 Comet, and I noticed the similarity of taillights with the '60 Edsel. (Tho Comet lights are in slanted "cat's eyes"...
I guess many/most hotrodders got the bug from previous generations and or friends of same, and I envy that. My bug started differently- with the...
We have a '61 Comet. We put in a narrowed 9", don't recall the width, and 6" rims, have forgotten the offset too. (I'm old, leave me alone.) Got...
x2 on that one. Had an Olds 215 in a '29 CCPU. Olds and Buicks had same block, different heads/intakes. A very few also went into Tempests in...
My lifestyle (I'm 71) has never supported more than one hotrod at a time, and I've never had a "shop" per se. All work has been in our various...
Indoor shows hold no interest at all for me. I'd rather see one hot rod going down the road than a hundred sitting parked indoors. Outdoor shows...
I want that T-28! Oops, this is a car color thread..... Funny how a color will great on one car and horrible on another. I do like greens, but...
5. and is 100% made in the USA.
Hey Cowboy Ted (lawyer calling on retirement homes), you sound like Jimmy from Better Call Saul. He'd have done more business if he'd driven what...
I have to agree with Jonnie King. Ryan has already nailed the look, but a more reliable drivetrain might be a good choice. Not an OT drivetrain...
Great video, and a great narrative to go with it, but I wanna know "the rest of the story". Looks like when the drone stopped moving, it was...
Did anyone else notice that this is apparently a stickshift car? Three pedals, and a 4-spd shift pattern on the knob anyway. That's crazy enough...
1972 and I was at my last Air Force assignment in Cheyenne, WY. I thought I was in love with my '66 Vette, until one day at a local outdoor car...
Wheels, stance, color for that all important first impression. But what really separates me from most others is to use a different and not popular...
HRM really was great back then, and for decades thereafter. But I gotta say I am somewhat disgruntled with it the last few years. It's not just...
