Blew my engine up at the track.  When asked why I built a new motor, I told people it was just time to go bigger, hence the new stroker setup.

Beer, it's what's for dinner.

accidentally painted my car flat black instead of gloss. The paint store sold me the wrong stuff. I just told people i was going for that "rat rod" look.

Mopar or Nocar

I found in our work trucks ('04-'06 F-250's) that the horn will honk if you press the Cruise Control on and Coast Buttons at the same time.  I am sure this is just a fine feature Ford forgot to mention in the Manual.  


The Silver Buick- '77 Skylark coupe w/455&TKO-600, '72 Centurion Conv't - 455w/TH400, '67 T-bird 4Dr (suicide) w/428&C6. Needing to replace a '69 Firebird 400.

where i work they have a new 05 chevy pickup the reason i gave for the tires going from being almost new to completely bald was it got stuck in a big pothole so i floored it and had to do a massive burnout to get it out

my car has rust issues so instead of telling people i dont know what im doing when it comes to bodywork i tell them its a "joe dirt" style restoration its the worst lookin at the drivein but with the rust and snowtires it grabs attention
