I know, I know, not a Mopar, but I know some of you on here like these old trucks. I already have a nice '75 Ford, factory Highboy, but couldn't pass up this one. I've known about this truck for 10 years, its been sitting in the same spot for years. I was in mine and thought, I'm finally going...

We brought home a new friend today, he's still pretty nervous but seems to be fitting in well. He's already attached at my hip. He's super cool, very brave yet very relaxed. I've had dogs my whole life but Carmen and I haven't had our own together yet. Should be good. Named him Reggie...

Well, after picking up the '49 Fargo, I realized I don't have any room for it. I had this '65 Fargo in the back that I had done a bunch of work to and driven for about 6 years, but for the past 2 years it's been neglected in the back. Mostly due to needing brake and engine work... 16" drums and...

Heading down a side road this morning, a deer jumped out in front of my Rambler. With no time to think, "It'll probably be better if I just hit it," I swerved right and lost control. The car spun a couple times, then went into the ditch, then spun again and stopped in the ditch. The reason I...

I saw an ad on Craigslist for a '66 AMC Rambler Classic, straight 6, auto. It was listed for a decent price, but I managed to talk the guy into delivering it to the Island for an even cheaper price than listed. It came today, and In very impressed. I bought it sight unseen, other than receiving...

Hey all, Carmen has opened a store on Etsy selling her hand made crafts. Right now it's Christmas ornaments and cards, but she will be adding more as she goes. Check it out, maybe you'll see something you or your wife would like. Just trying to spread the word for her a little...

Yesterday I attended a smaller show at the Shawnigan Lake school. Leaving home, it was pretty miserable looking outside. The show was about an hour south, so I figured I'd see how it was there. I got there and the skies were grey, but no rain. Not until 1:30 at least, when it poured. The ragtops...

We attended the Peach City Beach Cruise in Penticton, BC this past weekend. We drove the Dart on the 1000 KM round trip through the mountains, and it ran great until the peak of the Coke, where it had a bit of a miss, from (I assume) the thinner air. I considered rejetting, but the plugs looked...

I took the Dart to this year's Father's Day show n' shine in Qualicum Beach yesterday, and although it rained in the morning, it cleared up to be a pretty nice day. I was parked next to Mark (moopa) in his survivor/unrestored '69 Charger 383, a '65 Canadian Valiant, a '71 Duster 340, and a '74...

Carmen is currently driving a 1991 Nissan Stanza, fully loaded, and it has been a good car, but it's getting to the point where it's got close to 300,000 KMs, and things are starting to go on it. We have been looking around at pretty much everything that's under $22K. The new Jetta, she doesn't...

Check out the talent these kids have, all different kids in each video, but the same guy puts it together. I'm not sure if it's a music school of some kind, or what, but they're killin' it! Tool - 46 and 2 46 and 2 by Tool / Presented by Aaron O'Keefe - YouTube Iron Maiden - Number Of The...

These are NOT mine, however I spotted this ad while browsing Castanet. The guy has a bunch of neat stuff that he saved from the crusher, but is losing his storage yard and needs to sell, otherwise they'll be scrapped. "I've been bringing old vehicles home over the years, saving them from the...

I went to a car show yesterday, roughly 2 hours from home. The drive there was great, the weather was great, however I guess my camera lens was dirty so the pictures are so-so. Anyways, here they are, enjoy. This Barracuda is just crazy, the amount of $$...

Well, there's been an accident on the highway, and I got caught in the traffic on the wY back from a car show today. My 340 doesn't like bumper to bumper traffic, so I'm just waiting it out. In the mean time, here's some pics from a local car show I attended today. Sorry for the crappy cell...

The show was cancelled this year due to the guy who puts it on, moving away for work. A local radio station jumped in and hosted the show, although it was a bit unorganized. Some pretty cool cars showed up though. Here's the pics, a bit of everything. This GTX belongs to Scott, a new friend...

I work a kilometer underground in a uranium mine on night shift, and just getting into the end of my 3 week shift. They've been doing pressure testing on some instrumentation the last few days, bringing the PSI up to 185. Typically they allow 125 people underground at once, but tonight they only...

I took my Dart to it's first car show in years yesterday, to the Qualicum Beach Father's Day car show. It's supposedly in Oprah's 'Top things to do in the summer' or something.. ? Anyways, it was PACKED. Mark (Moopa) and I showed up about 9:30 AM, which was apparently too late.. 9 was cut off...

While on our cross Canada/US road trip, I convinced Carmen we should stop at the Pioneer Auto Museum in South Dakota, after we passed about 50 signs advertising it. It was a little run down, but there was a ton of cool stuff packed in there, not only cars, but old motorcycles, bicycles...

Mike, your PM box is full. We're home, I need to send you back the GPS you lent me. We named it Judy, because Garmin sounds too much like Carmen, and when I was yelling at the GPS, Carmen would get offended. So I need your mailing address. Also need your Paypal address to pay you for the pan...

Guys, we're trying to make it to Kingston tonight while on our cross Canada road trip. Anyone near Newcastle? The fan belt snapped on our 75 Chevy G20 camper van. 350 auto, no A/C. Need a fan belt bad, otherwise we're sleeping on the side of the highway. I can pay you in beer, or I can...

Well, I'm currently working 500 meters underground in northern Saskatchewan in a uranium mine. This is my last week here, and I'm quitting, and Carmen and I are driving across Canada and back through the US. We're leaving April 16, and giving ourselves 2 months. We're driving our 1975 Chevy...

Went for a drive yesterday, came across this 67 AMC Rebel. 2 door hardtop, originally a 343, auto. No motor but still has the tranny. Floors were solid, frame was solid. Quarters were starting to go at the bottom. All missing chrome was inside, including bumper, grille pieces, etc. The guy gave...

Why is it that whenever I buy a piece of trim, or emblems, or anything for that matter, I never recieve the mounting hardware as well? When I buy a certain item, I need it to come with everything, including the hard to find clips, screws, bolts, nuts, etc. I understand if maybe the screws are...

Anyone got any? Could be Christmas, Santa, family, anything Christmas related. My mom found this one of my sister and I and put it on the mantle for everyone to see.. Everything about this picture makes me laugh. The haircuts. Santa's bloodshot right eye. My oversized clothes. The way I'm...

A guy who scours the power line trails for scrap metal sometimes brings in cars he finds, and he came across this Austin. It broke in half when I unloaded it with the hoe. It looked alright when I first unloaded it.. But then I lifted it with the big forklift to move it out of the mud...
