Everyone has a few cars they don’t give a crap about that are considered, “Classics”. Mine are mostly Fords, 1st gen Mustangs in particular, so I pass those by. I’ve lost any and all interest in the last two generations of Camaros, too, and the first gen Camaros are just too common. A good second Gen, Camaro or…

We rode the public bus (Community Traction/Tarta) for free with tokens provided by the school. The school secretary handed them out like she paid for them and you had to go to her before school, never at lunch, when she sat and listened to the radio and read a book, to get them. If you lost them, you had to really…

Back about the fall of ‘75, I was going back from the drag races at Irwindale to Vegas and I pulled into a gas station off I-15 someplace, I can’t remember where, and didn’t pay attention to the $0.99 price, that was per half gallon. I was low on money and just before I would have been wiped out, I realized I had put…

It’s about $0.80 to $1.00 more, here locally. I saw a .70 difference yesterday and got excited. Until I saw it was the same price as premium at the other places and my car doesn’t like regular, which was cheaper.

My folks bought a lot of cars in the 60's and 70's, and we only had one car with a power window issue and that was when my dad’s Imperial had ice all over it and my mom kept trying to open the window, which was frozen up. All she needed to do was wait until it thawed out, but the ice on the window bothered her, so she…

Just a little delay for the auto down function would make this problem go away. If you move the switch a little, the window should start moving, let it go, it stops. Simple. If you hold down the switch, after a second or so, to to auto down/up. I just to have a dog that jumped out of my truck twice, so auto down needs…

A family friend of mine for over 60 years, whose car only seems to turn right anymore, called me one day about something and he says, thinking it’s some really smart observation, “How come Obama didn’t do so and so about Covid?”. He wanted to hang up when I gave him the bulletin that Obama wasn’t president when Covid…

The WOW drove me crazy. A friend had a huge collection of 8 Track tapes and so they stuck around way longer than they should have, and it seemed like they just wouldn’t go away. I was in his car a lot, and I wanted to rip that crappy player out of the dash. He complained about my cassette deck hissing. Better it…

When I lived in Las Vegas, and worked at a Hotel and Casino downtown, I was amazed at how many people seemed bent on getting into trouble due to the heat. Diabetics would leave their insulin at home a lot of the time, “I didn’t think I would need it!”. Yeah, sure. I had a woman so far out of it, she undressed in front…

It’s weird how some things scare the crap out of some people, and others just kind of say, “whatever”. I’ve been at the bad end of a gun twice, once during a robbery of the gas station I worked at, and the second time I had a high on coke neighbor go off on me. Both times, I was more angry than scared, but the one…

A friend of mine’s Charger Scat Pack got hit and totalled by a drunk, so he went to replace it with a pretty much identical car. Everything was going fine, then the add on crap started. The Mopar floormats with the logo on them? They wanted $470 for them, and were already in the car. You can buy the same ones online…

I did this in December ‘74 in Toledo. I had just picked up my ‘74 Roadrunner and I drove the crap out of it, 800 miles in about 2 days, and the 3000 mile oil change (Actually, the dealer changed the oil at about 1000 miles when they fixed the dribbling oil plug) came pretty quickly, like at about 10 days after I…

You have to ask, “WTF is wrong with Cheryl Hines?”

I’m embarrassed that my home state elected him. He gives off a creepvibe at a high level. Not Trump level, but a high level. My late mother would call him a “Puke Sandwich”. 

It was going on well before the 1980 election, but his admin expanded or accelerated the closings. When I started working in downtown Vegas in 1979, there were dozens of former California Mental Hospital patients wandering the streets. I saw their patient ID’s all the time. Some of them were so far out there due to…

I know I’m an old guy and all that, but man, what happened to cars that don’t look like some sort of pissed off insect? The back is just as bad as the front of this mess. I’m sure it’s a fun enough car, but it’s time to go retro or something, anything is better than a lot of these cars. So many great looking old cars…

In the old days, people like him would be put into a mental hospital. We as a country made a huge mistake closing most of the mental hospitals up in the later ‘70's. It created a fair percentage of homeless people, and basically let anyone who wasn’t physically violent deteriorate to a pretty sad level before doing…

The people on the last street I used to live on fought at an almost insane level to keep streetlights and sidewalks off them. I’m talking to the point of the police telling some of them to “Calm it down” after a couple of the city council got threats from them. Hint: If you’re gonna threaten people, don’t call from…

When will companies decide to link pay to some actual job performance? I worked at a place 30 years ago where they went into bankruptcy and the CEO got a big bonus every damn year. All he did was basically play golf, sometimes 3 times a day. His secretary used to put the current week’s schedule on his desk, and it was…

When I worked at a downtown Las Vegas hotel/casino, we had a ton of clowns that would park and then cry about their cars being towed. We had a sheet with repeat offenders on it, and I would make sure I called the tow place wayyyyy out from the Fremont St area. If they were a first timer, I would call the company…
