Agree, did 4 years during Nam on 2 different destroyers, fletcher class WWII and I remember once or twice getting thrown out of the rack because somebody on the bridge saw or thought they saw something. If you are able to maneuver that quick you can get out of a cargo ships way. Someone will...

We will never be able to make highways safe for drunk or high drivers!

With a little knowledge of the Colorado traffic laws as a retired trooper. All of the minor traffic infractions as they are referred to these days have been decriminalized. In other words they are infractions rather than offenses. With the decriminalization of these "minor" violations many of...

Any time any where. Just celebrated 38 years last month. Yup, if I ask she'll crawl under the Dart and hold something too.

Always hide the wife's birthday, anniversary and Christmas presents in the trunk of the Dart but once the cover is on they just go inside behind the front seat. I broke one during the summer couple years back when I had the Dart out for some exercise!

Glad the wife is ok, like others said you can replace vehicles but lives are another story. As retired trooper I would file a claim for resitiution with the district attorney or city attorney where ever the crash occurred. This can be for your out of pocket deductible and any other lost wages...

I agree totally, and the pleasure was all mine. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

I agree. Seems like all of these shows start out being good with lots of information and after a couple seasons it turns into General Hospital or Days of Our Lives.

Dad brought us to Denver in the middle of winter in a 47 Jeepster soft top 1959. Grew up in the city cruising 16th street long before it was a mall. Street raced for $10 a gear and if you won you could go buy more parts or fixed what broke. Cruised to the Scotchman drive in and backed in so...

That sure sounds right that it would be of that time frame. I remember seeing the last one on a belt buckle in the ships store back in the good bad old days.

Thanks for sharing. I saw a quote in the editorial section of the paper this weekend that I felt says it best, and as a veteran says it all. "For those who fight for it, freedom has a special flavor the protected never know"

I met the USS Turner Joy in Subic Bay and made 2 trips back and forth from the gunline. My last trip was actually on a Destroyer Tender USS Piedmont. During my 3 years 11 months and 29 days I was assigned 2 Destroyers and 2 tenders. I did decommissioning work on the New Jersey also. Great...

Like Dartman I was setting off the Nam coast on the gunline lobbing shells from a WWII era destroyer? That makes me 66.

Good choice, carried S&W 9 for years on the patrol. Never had any issues carried 158 gr SJHP for duty use. No jams or misfires.

Nice shot. One for the good guys.

No excuse. They should be setting the standard for others to follow. Nuff said

As a 32 year veteran of a state law enforcement agency let me chime in and make a couple of points. First is that law enforcement is made up of a segment of our society. These men and women do not appear as separate individuals when the application process starts. Second most small towns and...

I had both done, at different times. Happy with the results although I had to go back and have them tweek one with some laser. Am very sensitive to bright lights and sunshine but can drive and pass the drivers eye exam without glasses. My understanding is "most" will need it at some point...

With Colorado State Patrol in late 80's the first Mustangs we got were standard transmission with roll bars. Very impractical as day to day patrol car but what a blast to drive. In the mid 90's we moved to IROC's again not very practice but a kick to patrol in. When you spend the climbing in...

Yup, state assigned VIN# is the best you can hope for and then there is no guarantee. Most states require the vehicle to be "road worthy" before the inspection is even conducted. As a prior state inspector I have seen people pour tons of $'s into cars and never obtain a VIN and or...

A big thanks from a Navy vet.

Hey, whom ever was talking about the Dizzy block or D block it still happens and I try to get there a couple times each season. I cruised 16th street in Denver all through high school and became known to a Denver PD officer by the name of Buster Snyder. I remember the name not because of...

Don't live near a prison or jail but always lock the house and never leave the keys in the cars. Except the Dart, when its running I would hear them try to start it and me and Mr. 12GA will have something to say about that. After they exit the Dart of course.

I agree, it's an amazing experience. Take some ear plugs or head phones. I was surprised how narrow the track is down the front stretch. I guess it's like trying to describe the Grand Canyon, ya gotta go see it for yourself.

Fun car, had a 65 with 271hp 289 with 4spd. It was fun on the street and strip. 5K would be a good fair price and no way would you get hurt. Since my Dad helped work on mine I would highly recommend it for a father son project.

Had the Dart out today, made a run to the store. Was 69 degrees here today but supposed to rain tomorrow. Love hearing the rumble and the shirpping of the tires. Cruise nights start next month?

I was a member of the Colorado State Patrol during part of the 70's from 74. We ran Plymouth Fury III and Dodge Diplomat all with BB and 727. Never saw any signs of any A bodies in those days. Most cities, at least here used the state bid process so were using the same type of vehicles till...

Lived in Colorado my whole life, currently live about 40 east of Estes Park and RMNP. It's raining down here tonight and they say the park will get snow tonight. If your not equipped for the weather, camping or not this time of year can be a real experience for those not used to the weather...

First of all no lawyer. Having 30 plus years as a state trooper I would say your officer has some issues but would suggest the following. I would guess your state issues points for different violations, here that's a 4 point violation since you were more than 10 MPH over the limit. I would...

Denver by 10. Just saying!
