The small "mace" like implement that you like doesn't fit down my bad, dainty, ear canal. The spoon side does, but I'm not comfortable probing most of my orifices.
Thanks, but it might be time to walk over to CityMed.

You remember the challenge, "Racing for pink slips."

Yup. Jessica McClure. You can Google her picture of what she looks like today. The guy in the picture, on the other hand, did not have such a a great outcome.

Freight was under $100

The "extras" charges on that car are interesting. Only $150 extra for that beast of a motor, but $15 for an electric clock?

Like JFK. I was standing on the east end of our high school football field when the bad news arrived.

When dad ordered a new 1969 Dodge Dart, the upgrade from the 273 V8 to the 318 V8 was only $50.00. Seems so cheap today.

I remember that day(10/14/1987) both for the good news about the baby, but also because I received my very last traffic ticket on the way home from Fort Myers in my Buick Grand National. 40 over and deserved every penny. Not that I haven't been stopped since, but the gendarmes have graciously sent me on my way unticketed. Thanks guys and gals.

You bolted a set of these on your car:

But my car only took one of them.

I know that I am old because:
- I don't want to add an amp in the trunk anymore (stock is ok enough)
- I don't want to have a subwoofer in the trunk
- Lowering the car isn't necessary.
- Stance? Are you kidding?
- Stock exhaust is good enough, catted downpipe please.
- You understand the value of time and you find people to help you in your projects
- You have a dedicated track car.

My first car was a 1964 Corvair Monza. I managed to install tubing headers on it. The engine was an air cooled flat-6, so two sets of 3 tubes per side, plus the addition of a second muffler. This made a noticeable improvement in performance.

My second car was a 1971 Mercury Capri with a 1600cc 4-banger, so just one header set with 4 tubes. That made a difference as well.

Fun days.

TKDbilly · 06-22-2021, 01:42 PM

Somewhere around here I still have my 45s.

But nothing to play them on…
