While I agree that you SHOULD change your oil regularly, I used to work with a guy that had a small car (right now I don’t remember if it was a Datsun or a Toyota). He had driven it since it was new. It had at least 100,000 miles on it. He had never changed the oil. Topped it off when it needed it. Just kept on…

I wonder if the music they had playing in the car at the time was Jose Fellationo.

Not so much what was found in a truck. But cute anyway. I used to work with a “Good O'l Country Boy.” He told me about going to a friend’s house way out in the boonies, and drinking way late while watching monster movies. He had left the windows down in his truck. So, on the way home, he suddenly feels something wet…

5 of our favorite OLD school games.

Strange to see a car guy jump starting a car wrong. NEVER connect both leads directly to both batteries!! Go positive on good battery to positive on bad battery. Negative on good battery to GROUND (some bare metal part) on dead vehicle! That last connection always sparks. If there is any gas venting from that battery,…

Well, maybe now we can get some more street views of the Buffalo River.

Don’t forget that wireless cable boxes are also on wifi. The cable box to our bedroom TV is literally 2 feet from the wifi/access point. Just on the other side of a wood stud and drywall wall. It would regularly loose connection. Ran an Ethernet cable to it. No more problem.

Come to think of it. All the stores around here have changed the name of the Express lane to Self Checkout.

I’ve always thought that the sign should read “All you can carry” instead of "12 items or less."

I had a pet rock back when that was a (stupid) thing. I had found this little rock that looked like a turtles head. I made a little pouch for it out of cow hide. Kept it on my belt. Drove some of the snooty guys at school crazy. They just couldn’t get the joke.

There is a very simple way to keep squirrels out of the bird feeders. Place the bird seed you were going to put in the feeder, in a zip lock bag. Add a table spoon or two of cayenne pepper. Shake to thoroughly mix. Now put it in the feeder. Birds can not taste it, so it will not bother them. After all of them have had…

We had a used 90's something Nissan 240sx. I loved that car. Fit like a glove. Fun to drive. Was going to need some transmission work, and someone pulled out in front of me. T-boned them just behind the driver. Not worth fixing. Too bad. Nice car.

I, too, would like to see the rebirth of compact pickups. My first vehicle was a ‘69 Datsun pickup. Drove that little guy until about ‘78, when our son got too big for a car seat between us. Oh, the fun I had with it. Before I got married, I used to go camping with 3 other guys. All in the front. Cramped, yeah. But we…

Not everyone hates it. My boss was telling me just yesterday about this guy and other people that are living full time on cruise ships. Convenient that jalopnik has a story about him.

You also gotta remember, that for us growing up in the '50s, '60s and'70s, we usually first heard songs on AM radio. Then on 45's or LP's played on not very good turntables. So you'll have to forgive us for not hearing lyrics correctly.

What? No mention of Cheech and Chong a version of My Sharona?

Probably yelling “WE’RE GONNA DIE!!!

Is goats milk a suitable substitute? I know it is about the best thing to feed baby animals.

What if the next car you look at is a ‘67 Beetle?

Buy a good rubber hose instead of the cheap vinyl ones. It will last many years longer. I have one that is over 20 years old. I never drain it. Just roll it up on the cart and stick it in the shed. Freezes solid every winter. Also, cut two 1 foot or so pieces off of it. Put new appropriate ends on all the cut ends.…
