HEY CORKY COKER...say that 5 times fast

see if yall can beat this.there was a little black girl in my sisters cl*** that was named shi'thead

 

Corky, I've heard so many negative comments on your whitewalls over the years that I had some pre-conceived notions about you.
I must say i appologize....... I was wrong and find you definitely rooted in the tradition aspect of the hobby. You even seem pretty cool too even though, in the past ,your tires ****ed.
I'd like to meet you someday!

Their was an older African-American gentleman who lived in a nursing home near me called " Sonsee Da Ray "
He was born well before the movie Roots. He had a creative mama.

 

Well ROOT,


This is another fine mess you got us into...

 

Hey Corkey
Welcome to the hamb...you will fit in fine. I have thousands of miles on your Coker Cl***ics and as long as you keep in mind that you are driving on antique technology at modern speeds I have no complaints. Thanks for the service you provide our hobby/obsesion.

I went to gradeschool with twin brother and sister who's preppy parents were into sailing....they were named Dingy and Dorry
My wife went to school with Sandy, Rocky, And Pebbles Stone!
Cruel parents!

BTW...did business with Coker for years when I worked for Discount Tire Co., never had a problem!

 

I went to school with a girl name April Schauer.

My girlfriends dermatologist is name Dr. Urash.

The Doc's office on the corner of my street is name Richard Johnson.

And the local Sports guy's name doesn't really mean anything, it just sounds bad... **** Crippen.

...So much for asking for a HAMB discount on tires.

 

i love it when women marry into horrible names.

i've come across two pearlers in my life. my neighbours, the Dwyers, had a mum named barbara... course, aussies always shorten names so she was barb.

barb dwyer.

i can't believe that i now have to say "no ****! the truth"... it really is, she's moved now, and divorced, but she kept the name because it was so cool.

the other one was a girl i went to school with, clare beach... had a dog named rocky... rocky beach, which was funny by itself, but mainly because it was named that to go with her mum, sandy...

sandy beach.

"no ****! scout's honour!"

welcome to the HAMB corky.

 

When I worked at the County Jail, Shot With Two Arrows was an inmate there. We shortened the name down a bit to just "Shot With Two". Made the paperwork easier.

My last name is Sweet. My dog's name is Semmie. I wanted to name her Nutra.

Welcome Corky!

Thanks for being on the HAMB, kinda cool you being prez of SEMA and all.

 

My last entry on this thread. There's a Chinese restaurant in San Diego called "Won Hung Low"! That's a genuine no ****ter!

pigpen

 

I usta know a kid whose parents named him "Sonny."
That's it, and another who's given name was "Doc," they weren't Nicknames.
Is Corky your given name or a nickname?
Is it short for Corcoran, or Courtney, or?
At least it's not a boy named Sue!

 

Here's a couple locals: Iona Bierwagen and Larry Zbeetnoff. And I had a cousin who worked for Mastercard who told me once that Elmer Fudd actually lived in Vancouver.

 

A coworker told of his old cl***mate: Fonda Dix

 

Hey - Has Corky posted to this thread yet?

 

A good friend of mine had a vasectomy by a doctor named Peter Schock!

 

Yea, several times, So far he's ignored the BS like a trooper!

 

Had agirl in my cl*** named Sharon Peters and a local real estate agent here whos name is **** Bumps .
I swear I aint ****tin you
Shoe

 

Corkey,
On those radials that look like Bias plys... can you guys make some 5.00 x 16's in those?

Also, what about making an exact copy of the original M&H Racemaster... or Bruce Slicks? I know some guys want whitewall slicks... but there is a whole nuther world out there wanting blackwall slicks that are sized as the originals...

Also, there are a whole lot of old Drag Bikes out there that are just begging for 18 x 4" Racemaster rear slicks.

Thanks for producing tires for the love of it... those of us that are into traditional hot rods thank you.

Sam.

 

There is a motel in Umatilla, OR. called Tilli*** Motel.

 

Ran across "Big ****'s" Halfway Inn...

And then in Michigan... one Exit 69 is "Big Beaver" Road...

Sam.

 

My uncle went to school with Soda Popp. His sister is or was Lolly Popp.

Soda is still in the Jefferson City, Mo. phone book. I wonder if Lolly got married? Maybe to Mr. Gagger.

I also knew a Richard Head.

 

I believe exit 169 is Beaver rd.

 

No, I think it is 69, not 169.
Wisconsin has a Bhong Recreation Area state park.

Saw a gas station chain out west call *** 'n Go.
Would have been perfect if it was next to an In 'N Out.

Here in Atlanta, there's an exit for L'il Burn/Beaver Ruin.

And I just found out we have a woman here who's name is Susan Cain-Cain. Her maiden name was Cain, and her husband's name was also Cain. They even went to far as to trace their geneology to make sure they weren't related somewhere in the family tree before getting married, and they weren't.
She decided to go with the hyphenated last name because she didn't want to give up her maiden name.
That's probably more sad than funny. Actually, it's more stupid than funny.

Sorry Corky is having to endure this, but what the heck--this is about the nicest HAMB Hazing I've seen! And it is a lot of fun to read.

Oh, and I've got a set of your tires on my '54. Put 12K miles on them in a little over a year, and recommend them highly.
-Brad

 

So what about my original question?

 

"Then there's the no-arms no-legs names..."

Two guys with no arms or legs hanging over a window? Curt n Rod.

I have a cousin whose maiden name is Sandy Shore and I went to high school with Brick Ivan Wall.

no ****

hi Corky!

 

Hi Petejoe...Sorry to hear you've heard negative comments...actually there has been a lot of mess out there that has been cranked up by folks that had their own selfish motives. Don't mean I can't be criticized though...

I've had tires that ****. I've had many, many more than that though that are cooler than dang it and do the trick right for the right car, bike, truck or even antique airplane. Been doin this a long time now so there have been mess ups. All I can do is fix em do the right thing and move on! Look forward to meetin you some time too. Will be in Milwaukee on PowerTour and in Bowling Green at Hot Rod Reunion. Come see me!

Best,

Corky

 

Tks Nosurf...see your'e from Kansas. How's the surf out there?

 

Dr. J? Can't answer that question unless I know you are a real Doc or if youre Dad gave you that name.

Actually not my real given name which is Joseph. Dad loved the newspaper cartoon strip in the paper "Gasoline Alley" and told my mom when I was "yanked out" that she could name me anything she wanted but they were goin to call me Corky. Stuck.

We got a new 550R16 coming. Hope others see this so it will explain a little about these new radials. We have em in 550, 600, 650, 700 and 750R16. The tread design is original looking and the tires are all built in new molds. The ply ratings are heavier for the bigger sizes because some of the applications in the antique world are big heavy cars. The tires are made for us by Tornel Tire in Mexico. This company started in the twenties. I have met Don Armando Tornel, who was a contemporary of Harvey Firestone, Chas Goodyear etc. He is in his nineties. His company has many factories now in Mexico, but this particular factory is very, very high tech. They build tires on contract for Michelin under the Michelin brand side by side to these cl***ic radials. The tires are tested to the most strenuous performance and endurance testing by Tornel as well as Standard Test Labs in Akron Ohio. We've already sold a large number of these tires in the sizes I have listed but the most important I can tell you is that I have them on my 53 F100 that I drive almost daily. These tires work and work well!

Send an email to stevej@coker.com to find out what you need to know.

BTW... Firestone Dragsters are avail in black

I do love it Samiyam. I live it daily. ok...dang it got to wear a suit to dang much but would prefer to NOT! Thanks for kind words.

I am leaving for the Powertour in the AM so will be off line a few days.

All the best,

Corky

 

Thanks.....I was hoping you would answer this....


Cause I really dig em...
