So my wife actually went this year and we cooked with it being in the 80-90's with just enough humidity to be uncomfortable. I’m beat so I’m just going to post most of the pictures I took . Once again we were at the old Seiberling residence Stan Hywet in Akron. I’ll educate you all in the name Stan Hywet which wasn’t…
Wasn’t planning on this but got a call about two hours before the event started. Scrambled to get ready, clean my car and grab a camera. My first time to this one so I was surprised . Another surprise was my wife even wanted to go. There were DJ’s and a band at various locations as well as food vendors, t-shirt sales…
If I hadn’t changed jobs I’d have had time off to go to the 2018 Southern Ohio Forest Rally. I’m betting Dusty Ventures was there. I need pictures and updates on the event from any Oppos. What made this weekend even worse was I had to go to Columbus for family stuff and was just an hour away from the rally.
Tonight in the wonderful snow covered Midwest I was driving on a completely clear section of road. Despite the speed limit being 45 there was a Chevy doing 20 mph in a right lane of a 4 lane street with their left turn signal on. They kept looking to the left like they wanted to get in that lane. There must have been…
First thing to let you know is this isn’t my picture but it was awesome enough to share. A car forum friend I know as EvilBob went up Blood Mountain today with his wife and they took some photos. He is nice enough to let me post this one for all of you.

These days he might be most known because of his nephew Patrick Carney of the Black Keys but he had a successful career in its own right. Ralph was known locally for his being a member in the Ohio band Tin Huey for years. He also played with the B-52's, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello,Jonathan Richman, They Might Be Giants,…
So I type in Dodge and get surprising results. The results are shocking. Not sure how they can keep the Ram logo since this was realized a while ago. Thanks to Rattyfox again. Was a subject on Jalopnik 10 yrs ago but image was lost.

A lot of you made prior replies to the post about my manager at work who got my direct supervisor of the past 8 yrs fired. I finally left the dealership. I was subjected to subtle harassment by more than one remaining staff member after that. I had been told by more than one person that I was one of the people the…
This post originated from a friend who goes by Rattyfox on one of the Audi forms. Copied in his words below.
One of my friends bought a car from Houston for around $2k. A clean 2008 Cadillac CTS that ran rough but starts and runs with I think he said about 50k miles. No signs of interior water damage but it definitely got submarined. He had to get two connecting rods , two pistons and gaskets for the 3.6. We’ll see if he…
Sorry about the fuzzy iphone pic. This was in front of a McDonalds as I grabbed a coffee yesterday early in Columbus, Ohio. Was amazed the car was between the light pillar and pole with no body damage. Nobody in the McDonalds order line had noticed the drunk parking until I said something. As I was leaving about 6…
Not sure if the accident caused his heart attack or vise versa. Owner didn’t make it. Such a hard impact that the firewall and frame were damaged. Sad for the family. Fairly certain the accident occurred during a recent rain storm. He hit several mail boxes and a fire hydrant.
Today I had a customer get mad at me, cuss and hang up. The reason was he wanted a key cut for his truck (maybe not his) from the VIN. I told him we required a title or current vehicle registration and a drivers license for verification. He got pissed then said he had lost his drivers license and couldn’t supply one.…
Since I couldn’t get a picture to post on the Watchlopnik post earlier I figured I’d post this. My latest purchase a Ben & Sons Pantera. Looks expensive but isn’t very. Found this for under $50 and wasn’t even that cheap on Amazon last week. Downside is it needs better watch hand lume and has no points lume on the…
One of my coworkers has about 6 cars but usually weather permitting rides his motorcycle. I knew he also had a suicide door Lincoln but a few weeks back he showed up in this. Its the two door 6 cylinder version and he has slightly oversize rims on it. I think he said he is the third owner. Not a full on Donk but a…
The first show with skidplate racing was just okay. I have friends who have done that a few times so I had to see the show because I never had attended a skidplate race. That first show didn’t seem to grab me at all. I was hopeful though since it was just the first try. Then the secind show driving across NYC for food…
Just 20 days ago this was the temperature as I left work. This morning it was 45º. Weather girl was warning us tonight about the cold fronts coming in the next couple of weeks. Its been a long time since I’ve seen kids Trick-or-Treat in winter coats.
