I have a daughter who lives in KC MO. Maybe we can get together for that drink. Do you ever go to the HPAC Mopar Club All Mopar show in Kansas City? It is usually in September. It is a very nice show with lots of cars.

They seem to get along very well.

I understand you, Dan. I am 73, and I had a miserable childhood. It took me a big chunk of my life to get over it and blend in naturally in social settings. I used to avoid most social interaction like the plague. If we ever meet, we can have a few drinks (I'll buy) and talk.

WHAT??? That is stupid. Nobody I know would pay to go to that kind of a car show. Those have always been free for spectators.

With the exception of the rear window louvres, it isn't bad at all. I like the color combo.

I don't see much difference.

So true. I have passed through Phoenix a few times, and I thought I was going to melt.

The second I buy it.

Move to Phoenix??

I don't think they know what "Soliciting" means.

I just looked, and evidently the body on those trucks is made from stainless steel. IF Tesla advertised them as "Made with Stainless steel, so your body will never rust", then Tesla could be looking at a massive class action lawsuit. If they were smart enough to just say, "The body is made from...

I have heard that EVs take a much bigger depreciation hit than gas vehicles. I wonder what the real numbers are.

I hear you. I know they have our safety at heart. Don't get me wrong, I am just saying that over time, people will get to the point where they may disregard the tornado sirens when the last 50 times they went off, there were no actual tornados. I am very familiar with doppler radar. I am a...

@YY1, have you ever driven a car that you just hand tightened the LH thread lug nuts on? I am not an engineer, but I took several physics classes in college. Lugs are torqued for a reason. I agree with @72bluNblu about torquing and checking lug nuts. And I agree with @oi81b4uu812b4 that the LH...

Here goes. I did EVERYTHING myself. Bodywork, paint, engine rebuild, interior, etc.

Sorry, but I don't buy it.

I am from Kansas. I totally understand how dangerous tornados can be, and my heart goes out to the people who have suffered loss due to the latest breakout. I saw a tornado one time when I was stationed in Arkansas at Little Rock AFB. Let me tell you something about the tornado warning system...

I would think a 10 year old could draw something that looked better than this. Left handed and with their eyes closed. :lol::lol::lol:

I saw this Tesla truck charging at a McDonald’s on the highway. Can you say ugly? If you like them, I apologize.

My friend Mark is having the 327 for his 67 Camaro completely rebuilt by a local reputable performance-oriented machine shop. We took the engine there on Tuesday. The shop is beautiful. I was very impressed. When the shop owner was going over the options with Mark, he added that if he did do a...

Depends on what kind of Jeep you are talking about. A 40s or 50s military jeep might be expensive to restore and maintain, but I am on my 5th Jeep now. I have owned a 1995 Grand Cherokee, a 2004 Grand Cherokee, a 2007 Grand Cherokee, a 2018 Grand Cherokee and my current 2023 Gladiator. In all...

BMW = Bring Mechanic With you. Nothing against my FABO buddies who own and like BMWs, but I have known a LOT of people who have had a lot of trouble with theirs, and it is expensive!

I like the ones where the truck goes clear down into the water. I am not good at it by any means, but here is what I do: I put my hand on the bottom of the steering wheel, and whichever way I want the back of the trailer to go, that is the direction I move my hand. Sometimes it works out great...

On the other end of that spectrum, I lucked out BIG time on some parts once. In 1985, I was restoring a 65 Corvette convertible when stationed in Little Rock, AR. It was a factory AC car, and it was missing the driver's side AC duct/vent. I saw an ad somewhere for some AC parts, and I called. It...

@dibbons, are you allowed to carry a gun where you live?

They are right, and they beat me to it. I am really confused. You purchased a 64 Barracuda "project" car. To me that means it needs a lot of work. Work that will likely cost thousands of dollars. Why cheap out on the transportation home?

So sorry for your loss. I am 73 and we have lost 5 pets over the years. It is a terrible thing. Just think about the years of happiness and the joy and love that existed. Try to take joy in that.

Now here is a real Mopar wife. She is helping me strip the paint off the Barracuda, and then she grabbed a grinder and ground the leftover stuff off.

I am working on a GMC Jimmy tailgate for a powder coating customer. It is really rusty. I was cutting out a patch piece from some 16 gauge sheet metal, and the 3” cutting disk tool got away from me a bit. It sliced right through the heavy leather glove and wound up barely grazing my skin. Just...

DUMB ***!
