    Another car fire around three miles from my house.

    That's why is older farm type guys carry a SHARP pocketknife. Sometimes we carry a bigger knife. Fire extinguishers are good TOO!

    To me, Craig's list is officially taboo

    The economy/inflation is dragging down the little guy. He is the guy that has a hard time coming up with $3-4000 for a "not so desirable" classic well worth more. The wealthy guy only buys the high end collectables and he always has $$$$$. He usually is not a fool though. The mid guy and...

    Motor Trend Shows- Gone?

    I have not paid for Max to stream, I will wait and see how it all shakes out. Not that it costs squat, I just have little faith in a good outcome for anytime soon. For what I have seen on my life, any time there are co. mergers, half the employees end up screwed and/or gone, and the company is...

    Motor Trend Shows- Gone?

    Yea, I love RoadKill Garage and so. I watch just on Dish, tired of reruns! I understand MotorTrend is now Discovery and streaming is thru Discovery+ and is now called Maxx or something. Looks like everything wants to be streamed. Gossip is FriedBurger is retiring, looks like Dulcich has...

    Weight Gain?

    WE had to put our Dacshund on a low cal diet. It is a Purina low cal and it has done the trick. You my friend, you are just pleasantly plump! Can you run 20 yards and not pass out though!!! My little dog can run 200 yards now!!

    To me, Craig's list is officially taboo

    There are some good FB specific car forums on there. I admit some seem to attack more ding bats that others. FB attracts more ding bats in general anyway!!

    1970 Chevelle 396

    I have had many 100% died in the wool and RABIED Mopar friends, rabid like myself over the many decades! None of us ever had the darn Rabies shot!!!!! But, I admit I have never had any issue with the guys that love other brands. I love reading old cars mags, few left anymore. I love...

    1970 Chevelle 396

    I will say this. A lot of guys here on FABO are have many, many decades of Mopar. Me included. A lot of guys here also have some other brands. That does not demenish our love of Mopar and /or old cars in general. FABO is well knows as site of car enthusiasts that love to help or sometimes...

    To me, Craig's list is officially taboo

    Back in the nineties, flew to Oakland, Ca. and bought a 67 383 Cuda. The owner was a real Mopar car guy, an engineer with Amoco Oil there, amateur road racer, and had gone thru that car completely, and said he put about 10,000 mi on it. Drove it back to Missouri and the most fun I have ever...

    A blessing or a curse?

    I agree!!! Yesterday. Making something really good out the free, inexpensive new or boneyard stuff. Easy. Today. Trying to make something at least worthwhile, out of the always expensive and/ or new stuff (so many times junk!) or try finding any old bone yards today!. ( I know of just a...

    To me, Craig's list is officially taboo

    Yep CL died years ago here. FB Marketplace sucks as already said. I moved to Texas in '17 from rural Missouri, and Marketplace was decent. Yea mostly overpriced junk projects.... but way worse today. Selling old cars on there is total BS, like said. Here's a funny story. I have been...

    What do you do to get rid of gas from your mouth and stomach when siphoning your tank?

    HF has a battery powered siphon hose. Hurricane Beryl knocked our power out of a week and the "kid" (30) got us one to put gas into the generator we had to get so not to lose out freezer. Works slicker than cat chit and IF he bought 4 of them, they must be cheap! I will add some hose and...

    Did Facebook kill the Car Forums - Hagerty

    Here in S. E. Texas, it is a 3-6 hour drive (one way) to go look at anything. Most parts needed are 6 states away. Scammers can be found, everywhere, but I agree, in person deals are whats safe! (Just be locked and loaded.)

    Did Facebook kill the Car Forums - Hagerty

    The best way to be involved in the car hobby is deal with only true honest hobbiest and informed and talented people. FABO is an example of a place to spend time. 99.9 % good people. FB Marketplace is full of NON hobbiest types that have NO clue what a project car is worth. The only people...

    The Lucky Kid

    I asked the guy selling the car IF I paid his totally jacked up price, what would he do with the money? He was an honest dude, he said probably buy a lot of wacky weed. We discussed the price some more...he dropped the price> :steering:

    Stupid Drywall Question

    When someone looked at my finish carpentry work, I just spoke up quickly and called it rustic! Remember, tornado season and mobile homes.......not sure how God feels about them. First to blow away! Roughing it? Every time I would sell a place, I always replaced it with BARE land.... first...

    Real Life Roadkill-type Stories

    Driving old classics, that UNLESS you have rebuilt every single thing, is like any used car...hope for the best but expect the worse! Like I drove my old Dusters all those miles to work so many years, and always ran on used $25 tires, never blew a tire or had a flat...ever! But they weren't...

    Real Life Roadkill-type Stories

    Old cars, any car can break down as we all know, but new purchases are always suspect. Things that have broke on me over the years in old Mopars on the road? (Starters in 454 Chevy pickups..many), but... Mopar alternators, starters, carbs, fusible links, ballast resistors (1) , ECU, wiring...
