Literally! I've been enjoying all the newfound power the dually has after finding and eliminating the 4th fuel filter in the system. Today I noticed sort of a whooshing hissing sound under high boost. It didn't sound like a boost leak, but rather an exhaust leak. I raised the hood and...

Hi all, I got another one a couple of days ago. It's an imperial old enough to have a pushbutton transmission setup in it. Sadly, this one is too rusty to be worth restoring, but it still has a ton of good parts left on it-mostly interior parts and stuff like chrome and trim pieces...

The body builder takes off his shirt and the blonde says, "What a great chest you have!" He tells her, "That's 100 lbs. of dynamite, baby." He takes off his pants and the blonde says, "What massive calves you have!" The body builder tells her, "That's 100 lbs. of dynamite, baby." He then...

A friend of mine's brother is about to have some shrubbery cut back in his backyard, and I was told about a big spider that was likely to be killed in the process. So, of course I had to go get her before the shrubbery was to be cut. I have her in a styrofoam cup waiting for the rain to slow...

Hi all, I'm going to buy a couple more mopars tomorrow. One of them is a chrysler town and country wagon-I think it's a '66 or '67. It does not have a pushbutton transmission, it's on the column. Here's the part that's weird to me: It has what I think are factory bucket seats with an...

I got this off another site: Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug." She got up, unplugged the TV and then...

This would suck in a major way: http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/08/14/japan.biker.reut/index.html

After another round of transmission or clutch problems (not sure which yet), the dually was struck down for months. My not-so-new job had me on the road most of the time for 5 months, keeping me from having the time/inclination to work on the dually. Well, now it's almost together. I pulled...

Pictures of my new '73 charger Hi all, We were up in Tennessee on vacation, doing the family reunion thing this week. Well, I happened to spot a mid 60's newport parked with a bunch of other cars. This led to me eventually buying a '73 charger, and here's how: I went to ask about the newport...

I give up trying to sell stuff on the classifieds section of sites specializing in whatever it is you're selling. Some of you may remember that '70 440-6 challenger rustbucket I had late last year. I listed it for sale here and on cuda-challenger.com. No dice-a lot of folks doing the random...

I have a dead stock engine with 11 or 12k on it out of an '06 dodge 2500 pickup. What's included: Everything is included from rear crankshaft flange to cooling fan, top of engine to bottom. Yes, this means the turbo, wiring harness, ecm, etc. What's not included: The 6 spd manual trans and...

Yesterday I noticed a '73 1 ton dodge maxivan being weighed in. It only had the front seats inside-the rest were missing, so it "only" weighed 4300 lbs. The funny part is what towed it in...drumroll...A CHEVY CELEBRITY! It gets better-the chain (yes, that's what they used) was not hooked to...

I saw this last week up here in Birmingham. I guess the 26's are on layaway, I dunno. Ever see something so retarded looking that you want to just destroy it on the spot? It's like finding a mermaid in your shitter playing marco polo with the turds-it just shouldn't exist. I wished I had a...

Hey, y'all hear about the sick elephant with diarhhea that escaped the zoo? It's all over town.

I just looked in the mirror, and I've got freakin grey hair coming out on my temples. What the hell is this-I'm only 35 years old? I thought I'd been seeing some here and there, and my wife mentioned it, but I guess I didn't really believe it or think much about it. It seems like it has sped...

No, not the car family, an actual death. Last week I was working at the Knoxville, TN store helping them get ready to open. I stayed at my aunt and uncle's place in nearby Oak Ridge. I was there a work week, so I got a lot of visiting done. I worked 1/2 day Friday and came back home. Sunday...

Hi all, I'm gonna at least start putting the clutch/transmission back in the dually today. It's a real bitch to slide (jerk/drag/yank) the transmission underneath the truck on the concrete, so I like to put it on the transmission jack first. Unfortunately, that raises the transmission...

Hi all, Working in a junkyard, I see a steady stream of many different types of cars. One in particular is mid-late 70's ford barges. Ltd's, various lincolns, and mercurys. These all came with 9" rearends, the overwhelming majority of which have ordinary drum brakes. BUT, some came...

Last week I drove the challenger to Atlanta. This week I drove the newport to Birmingham, and it's a pretty comfortable car to drive daily. It's not fast or flashy, but it's in damn good shape and costs next to nothing to insure. It turned 56,000 miles on the way up from Montgomery to...
