    Hurricane Helene

    I'm up in Cincinnati. The wind knocked down two 50' + trees. The one missed the house by (---) this much. It did get the back deck. The top of the tree took out about 4' of deck railing, several chairs are bent up and a glass top table is destroyed. It also destroyed a really nice pop up that we...

    Better grab up those Jane's Addiction Tour 2024 T-Shirts...gonna be valuable one day!

    There's a reason we paint cars different colors. Not everyone likes the same thing. Personally, I don't understand why anyone would want to listen to country music, but.......

    That was 100% on Perry Ferrel. He may or may not have chemical dependency problem.

    Moparty

    Glad to hear it went well. I was on the fence with the weather, but had decided to chance it. My wife testing positive for the COVID sealed the deal to stay home. I'll try again for next year and we'll see what happens.

    Bait & Switch BS at Home Depot! (Caution! I'm still worked-up here...)

    The problem (if you can call it that) is that price is with Menards 11% rebate. They're great about sending you that rebate, but its a voucher that you can only use at Menards. It's their perpetual motion customer retention plan. As for the OP, the $383 price is what its listed at here in Cincy...

    FM3, as it turns out, is owned by Holley. They handle all of their events and promotions. Keeps the event side away from manufacturing side of the business.

    Marines on 9/11: untold story

    -That story is B/S. I'll tell you a story that's not B/S. I was still in the Army when 9/11 happened. In fact, I had been forced to retire because the military, as a whole, was dealing with a reduction of force. I was in the process of doing that when 9/11 happened. When the airspace and...

    Moparty

    Not going to make it after all. My youngest is nurse, still lives at home. She brought home the COVID bug that's going around. I'm good, but the wife, not so much. I'm paying for a hotel that I can't stay in, so there's that. Going to see if my credit card company will cover the costs that I...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    I can buy the key fob at discount, but I don't have the tech to program it. Locksmiths are cheaper than the dealerships. Having said that, some used car lots are using guys who do nothing but this and they do a hell of a great job and not to pricey (relatively). I'd stop by and ask if who...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Yep, there's a lot more to it than it looks. You can have a nice set, and the best of cutters, but if you don't know what to do with them, they're just door stops. Key blanks aren't the same either. A lot of them look the same, but they're not. The letters don't tell you the groves. They are...

    Was Your First Job at Minimum Wage?

    My first job, that wasn't on the farm, was at a Bob Evans Restaurant as a bus boy making $3.35 an hour. I got a promotion to dishwasher (yeah, sarcasm) and got another .10¢ an hour for that. Asked to be a grill cook, and that did come with a decent raise, a whole .35¢ an hour. I think I was at...

    Having Your Grandkids Join in the Effort

    My granddaughter saw my Dart the other day for the 1st time. She looked at me and as said "Wow, what is that?" She's three. The 18 year old used to love going out with me, now, she couldn't care less.

    I will be bringing my Dart down. I haven't shown it in a few years. I will be driving it from Cincinnati, so that'll be interesting. It'll be in the Survivor tent.

    Great grandson of Walter P. Chrysler wants to buy the company back from Stellantis

    Apparently he's already made a financial proposal to Stellantis. I'd say he either has the money or the backing. I used to own Chrysler stock before Cerberus Capital pretty much forced all of the stock holders to sell to them at the price they said they would pay. You didn't get the option to...

    Kmart submarine sandwich recipe

    I graduated from basic training and AIT in the spring of 1988. I had 7 weeks of hometown recruiting duty before I was sent to Germany. The recruiting office was in the same plaza as Kmart. I given a meal card and Kmart was one of the few places that accepted it. I didn't always have a car, so I...

    What is wrong with this picture?

    When I worked at the dealership, we had a guy come in, wanted a new mini van off the lot. He picks one (one of the cheapest, low option vans we had), test drives it, decides that was the van he wanted. I'm in Ohio, so it was mandatory (at the time) to have two license plates. Every van on the...

    Which Insurance Company.

    Unfortunately, I have had to file a claim with American Collectors, and that went as smoothly as it possibly could have. I have nothing but good to say about American Collectors. The best part is they didn't give me any grief about why I had my car out when a deer hit it. I've been told Hagerty...

    Will I ever get this package??

    Louis Dejoy. He was nominated by Trump, confirmed by the USPS board of directors, all also appointed by Trump. Turns out he also is a massive stockholder in a company called XPO. Want to guess what XPO does? They're a subcontractor for the USPS. Dejoy has been diverting a **** ton more work...

    Mopar Nats Columbus, Ohio

    Man I'm glad you stopped by. The whole weekend was kind of a blur. I stayed busy all weekend. Don't know if I'm the King of Keys, but I sure do have a lot of them. You're right, there wasn't an open swap spot anywhere. The foot traffic was lighter, in the swap Saturday, than I think it should...

    A Discussion on Funerals

    Car parts aren't a person. I will say this, Houston and Atlanta PDC's are both dumpster fires. At the risk of getting political, you can thank DeJoy for that.

    A Discussion on Funerals

    Having worked for the USPS I can tell you this, when remains are shipped, those are given high priority. Everyone involved seems to go out of their way to hand carry those thru when they come. When I was a carrier, I would make a beeline to the (usual destination) funeral home or to the family's...

    Unorthodox methods?

    My grandpa had a block and tackle up in the limb of a massive oak tree. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized that probably wasn't the best idea.

    What appened to the "Nats"

    The Nats went to **** a few years back. The good news is Jim has let someone else take over the management of the show and they seem to be doing a better job of running it. The swap has gotten bigger than the last few years, and it's way more organized and less empty spaces. Chrysler isn't...

    Another "What's this part" thread

    Bought these upper door moldings from a vendor at Carlisle. Marked as 73-76 A Body. I wanted a clean set, so I bought them. Get them home, and my Duster doesn't have the curved portion and there's no holes for the lock knob. Any idea what these are for?

    Glad I could help. I was so busy this past weekend it was kinda a blur. I did something I've never done before, I killed a deep cycle battery cutting keys!

    First Time at Chrysler Carlisle Nationals- 3rd place award!

    I'm glad you found me! I was so busy, I didn't get to see much of anything this year. I'd liked to have checked that Duster out!

    I pay for three swap spaces, I park in one of them. It's worth it. I know that the guy across from me buys a swap space, and all he does is walks around buying stuff until he fills up his van. Honestly, buying a swap space is the best bargain there is to go to the show. $100 for the space gets...
