I have seen this phrase used often in the last 20yrs of searching through car forums (specifically Mopar forums). I have also watched the demand for and prices go up as well as the aftermarket expand and media. I don't have an answer, but am curious why that sentiment is common. What do you think?

I have a buddy that is a Navy aircraft mechanic and late model Euro performance car guy. He picked up a 63' Ford Falcon project recently and also got a short block and heads for free. The 302 is out of a 79' LTD and the internals look great after teardown. It also came with an aftermarket 180'...

One of the greatest in a league all his own.

Sorry for the off-topic subject but I figured that a lot of you have dealt with parents passing and might have some advice on what to do. My wife was given the duties of executor recently and then my Father In Law went down hard and fast. He is currently on life support and the diagnosis is that...

While replacing a broken transaxle mount in a newer vehicle I stripped the threads. The bolt is a 4 inch hardened steel with tight threads going into the aluminum casing. The bolt holds the weight of the transaxle. Anyone have any fixes for stripped aluminum threads?

Hi gang, hope all is well. Any suggestions for heavy duty degreaser brands? Have to degrease a trans and the entire underside of the car for prep. Lots of sandy, oily, baked-on sludge. Thanks, Billy

With all the hype in the booming tactical market at what point is it more fantasy than function? Has anyone been in a home invasion situation where their hunting shotgun limited their ability to "sweep" the house or the lack of 2 extra shells cost them in a raging gun battle? Or where their 8...

Got some incredible news recently and since it is Mopar related I thought I would share it here with the FABO Family. Last year, I noticed some punkass kid new to the neighborhood hanging out with the other punkass teens in our subdivision. I am always in the garage working on the car and to...

Seems like the standard question of "How are you doing?" has been replaced with "What/where/when are you doing?". I find it rude when someone calls during a meal and when told so they ask "What are you eating?" instead of apologizing and cutting the call short. I had to have a talk with my...

We have a Chevron on the corner and over the years every time I get gas from there my car runs poorly and my wife's gets knock. It also lowers the MPG's by 25%ish. It took a year or so to figure out that it was only happening with their gas. Now, I only go there if I'm in a real hurry and low on...

This is also over in the regional section of the Forums. Californians can now apply for 50's, 60's, and 70's style plates. Once 7500 orders are placed production begins. $50 for sequential or personalized plates. I wish there was online ordering but it is mail-in so far. Application is Here

For more pics of that sweet Barracuda! Every time I see it in your signature I drool on my keyboard. The stance, color, decal,.... everything just represents what I love most about 2nd gens. Thanks, Billy

And the lip hair too. Hope everyone is enjoying their Friends, Family, and MOPARS this time of year. -The Palmers

In the pits at the Coronado Speed Festival last weekend. Wish I could have shown him my Barracuda. He said that Bullrun series was finished :(

Hey guys, just wanted to share a way to watch the races since there has been a lot of complaints to NHRA about ESPN's coverage (or lack of). Set your DVR to record NHRA and you will most likely end up with little league baseball or water polo. A few years ago my wife won an Xbox 360 at an Xmas...

So the merge has been announced. I really enjoy watching Le Mans racing. Hopefully NASCAR won't water it down to the point of stock-car road racing.

The last few months I have been witnessing so much violence it is concerning to say the least. I saw a guy punch in his wife's/girlfriend's face the other day with two small kids in the backseat. Have seen fighting, arguing, road rage.....something ain't right. I found a body wrapped in a...

A synthetic drug that until very recently was legal to buy and sell in shops called "Bath Salts" has been creating quite a stir. Yesterday a naked guy ate another guys face even after being shot. Synthetic Zombie Apocolypse incoming? 'BATH SALTS' TRIGGERED MIAMI CANNIBAL ATTACK...

No conspiracy or gloom and doom apocalyptic forecasting here but has anyone had any recent luck finding Ammo? Today I got my third backorder extension email on some bulk ammo I purchased online back in April saying now not available until June 25th. My local gun store is completely wiped out of...

Yeah, timing is everything. This descriptive story and and it's photos seem contradicting. Someone will profit handsomely though. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221023938042+&viewitem=

Anyone have any experience with getting out of a mortgage? Six years of watching our house price sink through he floor while paying BofA , a major reason for that sinkage in the first place, is getting old. Short sales are plaguing the neighborhood and we currently rent it out at a $700 loss...

My first cassette was Iron Maiden Live after Death that I tricked my Mom into buying for me at Kmart. I was 10 years old. Recently, I blew the dust off of some old Slayer, Megadeth, Nuclear Assault etc. Cassettes that have been following me around for the last 20 years and blasting them in the...

Hi all. The wife's orders are coming up soon and since there are so many Vets on Fabo I thought this might be a good place to get extra info on duty stations. Three overseas tours that came up were Rome Italy, Victoria Area Canada, and London UK. I was stationed in Rome 10 years ago and...

(For Entertainment Purposes Only) If the Zombie War began and we had to pool our resources and talents what would you contribute? What would you do to be rid of those brain-eating SOB's? Would you go rural and live off the land? Or would you form a gang and pillage supplies and gasoline for...

I was cleaning out a drawer in my tool box that had all the flattened empty parts boxes I save for parts numbers. The "Made in China" stamp was on almost all of them. Since this car is probably my biggest money sink, I wonder how much I have actually spent on foreign made parts. There is no...

What is everyone drinking? I'm close to refilling the kegerator and want to try something new. I usually rotate between Pabst and IPA Microbrews in 1/4 keg increments.

Here in Southern California I see this daily. I even see Cops doing it regularly. Technologies like handsfree and bluetooth have come along way, but are not used as much as the good ol' type in your lap or hold phone while steering with knee and eating cheesburger methods. It is illegal as far...

Thought it would be fun to start a thread sharing your experiences with Strangers concerning your A Body. Every time I am out in my car I usually have at least one encounter with a stranger concerning the car and 90% of the time it's a great experience. I especially like it when it sparks a...

This is a rant: Today I needed to buy or rent a small hydraulic press. I called the list of Auto Parts stores that are nearby and was once again disappointed with lack of knowledge and service. When did these chains start recruiting fast food rejects? I am sure there are good stores out there in...
