Old hot rodders never die...we just lose our bearings in the shop, "that wouldn't hold sour owl shit" variation on this, "speed costs money...how fast ya wanna spend?" so low I gotta dig a hole to get in.
When I was in high school the saying on the back of a mystery chics car that no one ever saw but everyone said they did "If you can beat me you can eat me"
That thing is so low it could get stuck on a gum wrapper! The best reason to run your car in primer, (1)It only takes ten minutes to fix it after some dick scratches it in a parking lot!!! (borrowed from a 10 best reasons to run your car in primer).I can't remember the rest due to early onset alzheimers. Sometimes ya just gotta take your rod out and play with it.(From a t-shirt K.R. sent me from K.C.)
Cant believe this one isn't up here yet Anyone can restore a car, but it takes a real man to CUT ONE up.
If it aint got tits or tires,, I don't wanna play with it! There is nothing I can't fuck up so bad I can't pay someone else to fix it. Who would you rather have building your car,,, a Smartass that knows what he is doing, Or a Dumbass that don't! (Personal Fav)
ENFO was telling me he has a friend that when ever he sees a fast car he says "That il' tote the groceries"
A little off the subject, but one of my favorite sayings, none the less. "A good cross thread is better than loctite, any day."
We used to say: "Is that your grandma's car?" "Peel out" "If it don't go, park it" "Wanna race for pink slips" "How many mice you got in there?" "That cars uglier than you are" "I'm gonna blow your doors off"
A well accomplished low dollar sprint car racer once told me "I have passed alot of pretty race cars"...Jeff Bloom another good one,say after a guy bolts some chrome on a shitbox... "That was like putting a mink on a pig" In my street racing days the saying was GTFM..GET THE FUCKING MONEY Irrelevant to cars,but funny:"I had diahrrea so bad I could shit through a screen door at 20 paces and not touch a wire. And we have always had a running joke about the guys with an excessive amount of chrome...we always make sure to ask if he has a chrome oild pump shaft....that will leave them scratching their heads.
this was the very last thing my buddy tom said right before he was hit by a car and killed a few months ago. "lets burn some tires and start some fires."
KustomF100, my old man always used to use that screen door saying, but it was in reference to Point beer.
Just remembered what my old model T friend would repeat as his slogan...."Chevys are for plow,Fords are for gow!"...........you can tell that sayings got some dust on it
Nose It, Deck It and Dump It on a Rake! Hot Rodder to a gas pump Jocky "Gas Oil and Water' A Gallon of each."
last March i went to Minnesota to pick up my Model A, which happened to be in a junkyard. the guy had a pole barn FULL of hearses/ambulances, and a Crosley. One hearse was a 36/37 Buick an on the back it said: "It takes a heap of livin' to make a hearse a home". Looks great slightly faded! must have been there a while. i got a picture of it somewhere. maybe i'll post it. or a sticker i saw once "no fat chicks, car will scrape"
The kid that gave me the Name Louver Dude Said this to one of his tuner car class mates "2 liter ,I Buy Soda in bigger containers then that" The next generation isn't lost!
Where a wrench won't fit.....finger tight will do ! Old car guy used to say...There's a dance this weekend, you bring your wife, and I'll bring some other dirty ole' whore !
From my Road Racing days; acclerate till you see God and then shift. or acclerate till you see God then Brake The second one is for turn 3 at Brainerd MN track
I saw this on a T-shirt already, but it was great: "Your import sounds like my ass after a night of Mexican food." And our family motto: We're men; We'll make it fit. -Brad
that no drivin sumbitch has hit everything but the lottery. that car's been hit more than joe louis i heard an old racer call a carb a "slobber valve". i still laugh at that one. that looks like hammered dog shit. my favorite all time hot rod sayin... life starts at 170.
If sparks don't fly, you're too high Praise the Lowered. Saw this on a shit hot 57 chev here in Perth: "It's all fun and games until someone gets their doors blown off!!" Trying to get my dad to put these on his tricked up old caravan..(Australian for "Trailer" as in Trailer park): "If this things a rockin, don't bother knockin" and "Don't laugh, your Mom may be inside!" but his wife isn't too keen on it he he
