It’s a cool summer evening as the young man comes to a stop at the red light. He is thinking that it is the last light for quite a distance and what better time than now to test his latest adjustments on his tuner car. The exhaust is ringing with that new Turbo tail pipe that he just installed and the throttle response is immediate. As he quickly scans the gauges to see if everything is in order for a solid run he hears a rumble that at first sounds as though his exhaust is coming apart or leaking. He now notices an older gentleman pulling up in the lane next to him. Ah…thank goodness he thinks, it is his car that is doing the rumbling. The old fellow must be hard of hearing and does not realize his exhaust is making such a noise or perhaps he does not have the money to have his exhaust fixed. The young guy looks over and realizes that it is an old man, and he is driving an “old” car (complete with roof rack) as well. He remembers his father telling him of such a car and fun vacations so many years ago. With a great deal of pride the youngster decides to rev his engine to let the old guy know just what is sitting beside him and the performance the “old coot” is about to witness when the light turns green. As he revs his engine he notices that the older guy never looks over but stares straight ahead. But something else catches the young man’s attention… it is a scoop that begins to rise up out of the hood of the old four door relic complete with roof rack. With very little concern he is wondering what is happening to the old man’s car he begins to press the accelerator of his “tuner car” anxiously waiting for the green light and his chance to show his car off to all who may be watching. But the rumble from the old white car gets louder and stronger as well and the young man begins to wonder if this old gentleman is challenging his finely tuned automobile. It was then that the light turned green and the young man’s foot jumped off of the brakes as his other foot slams the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and his tires begin to smoke as they spin as they try to grip the asphalt for the launch. To the young man’s amazement he notices that his wheels are spinning and grabbing aggressively but the old white car is now moving forward and his is at a standstill…how could this be his speedometer shows 35 in a heartbeat and his engine is singing at the red line on his tach, but it is as though he is not moving because the amazing old four door car, roof rack and all, driven by the older gentleman is steadily pulling away. As he quickly shifts into second gear thinking that this might be his problem he notices even more smoke forming around the rear of the older classic car. Tire smoke that is obviously not his is drifting into his lane. The rumble that he had heard at the red light has now turned in to a thunderous roar of power that is seemingly making the ground around him vibrate. He remembers his father telling him of such cars and in his father’s day they called them sleepers… could this be what he was encountering? As his speed grew even faster he noticed that the beautiful old Dart driven by the charming older gentleman had just left him and his whirring, tinny sounding car behind in smoke. And as the old car pulls away ….etched in the young man’s mind is the question….what is a Popmobile 440?

It took a 3-4 baths (one each week) for us to get rid of the fleas on a cat that we adopted that was infested. You gotta keep at it and watch...

TOP secret, LOL

Actually, when i created my AOL screen name ( about a hundred years ago) i first tried numerous combinations of my name that were taken. Finally came up with this. K - first letter of my name - Keith, 14 - my birth day Aug 14 and the z and x just sounded cool to me and least likely letter to form somebody's initials.
 
Always wondered what it meant but was afraid to ask one of those if I tell you I have to kill you things!

My youngest son just bought an old motorcycle. Since our "neighbor" next door calls when he rides his mini bikes up and down our dead-end street, he got something that is street legal. :protest:

It's an old 74 Yamaha Enduro 175 and is off-road and on-road capable. :glasses7:

I emailed the police chief and asked what we need to make it legal to ride on the street, and he said license, registration, and insurance. We have gotten the registration, license plates, insurance, and he has a motorcycle learner's permit and is now legal. I emailed copies of the paperwork to the police chief in case there are any "complaints" (from you-know-who). :protest:

The chief emailed me back that we're ok and if any of his guys get called out, to just have them call him - we're covered! :cheers:

So my son is starting to ride it up and down our street to get the feel for it, and if the neighbor calls in - f*ck him..... :finga: :finga: :finga:

Thanks.

He's getting used to riding it and learning the gear pattern. :D

It's in pretty nice shape for a 74... :cheers:


But we have some wiring issues to chase down as all of the lights aren't working properly... #-o

That's part of what buying old mechanical stuff is, sometimes there are a few things that need to be fixed... :violent1:

DNA can probably help you with that.

I know some basic wiring.

My son's friend's dad has alot of experience with bikes and my son wanted to take it there to have him help, but I told him to let us give it a try first, then we will get help for what we can't figure out...


It may be as simple as just a burnt-out bulb or two....
 
A lot of the ones I had had old school bullet connections that corroded. Jut my 2 c.
 
Well I couldn't get a full trailer to tow the Dart wagon back, but I at least have a tow dolly...

Now I'm off to pick it up and tow the wagon back home...

Smell you all later....
