But, on the other hand, he might have been like a good friend of mines- he made a "go-cart" out of an old riding mower for his son. It was as fast as a riding mower, but it looked like a real go cart. His son learned to drive on this when he was about 5 years old. So, that might be what made you the fantastic driver that you are today. I learned to drive on a Farmall C when I was 4 or 5 years old, i'm pretty sure that's what made me the mediocre driver i'm is today.

Here's a picture of the Nova. It's not a good picture, but it's about the only one I have. It was actually blue but you can't tell by this picture! I have no photos of the Chevelle I had, but it looked just like this- dark green, darker green vinyl top, white stripes on the hood and trunk. This one has the cowl induction hood, it's probably got the LS6 454. Mines had the 396/350, which was actually the 402 c.i. big block. And it was bored .030 over, had a Crane cam, 780 Holley, Edelbrock Tarantula intake...it was nice! And this is actually Herb Ketter's picture, but my engine looked just like this- Tarantula intake, the carb. sat a little sideways on it, and I had the same air filter and the same Accel Super Coil ignition.That was about the only air filter option, or the hood wouldn't close. He also had a big block Chevelle, but I think he had a 427.

We have a big red Taylor fork lift at the shop- And this one too. It will lift about as much as the Taylor, but it doesn't have any brakes- however, it does have a screamin' Detroit. 1958FWD would love it! And here's a big yellow Taylor I saw in Chicago-

That's just amazing to me!..and I thought it was amazing to see two six cylinder Chevy II's turning 11's at Suffolk dragway in the 70's- unheard of for a six cylinder at the time, around here anyway. I had a low 14 second '72 350 Nova and a high 13 second 70 Chevelle SS 396 that I thought were fast- They were fast to me, but they'd be like riding a turtle to Paul and Larry!

I know! But that old Chevrolet is the cat's ass for me- outstanding! And the Keystone Superliner, the Schroyer D800, the yellow Ford, the cracker box, the Dodges, the Hooters girls- all great! I thought the D800 was a D860, but it's a D800 with a 4-71. And Mark- Vision386- and nocluejoe66 both said they were having difficulty getting on the site too. Man, that Chevrolet is bad-ass- I like it!

A horse might bite you- boobage is much safer to be around...most of the time- depends on who's boobage I guess.

...and, in the Winfall news, high winds from a storm in Australia apparently blew a kangaroo all the way to downtown Winfall.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm going with you!

I'll have to tell Mark on facebook that it's a fiddy-figh Fode- he said "fitty six Foad".

I saw a plane and another plane a "fitty six Foad" (vision386) ...some big Mack trucks. another big Mack truck- I got held up in Winfall on the way home today because they were paving rt. 501. And this girl was hitch-hiking, trying to catch a ride to Gladys, but I didn't have time to stop.

The Rockingham, N.C. race track- it doesn't look like much from here, this would be outside of turns 3 and 4, but it's just over a one mile high banked track that put on some great races in it's day- 492 laps were 500 miles, I think it was like 1.07 miles. I went to Griffin Pipes with a load of sand and saw these carp swimming around in the James River. Who comes up with these names? A girl in a car. Some horses in a field.

Thanks for that bit of info Larry, I might just do that. We have a driver that used to be the service manager at Cardinal Chevrolet in Appomattox and he said the same thing- about the intake gaskets, not the antifreeze- that that was about the only issue with those cars, the intake gaskets.

I was doing a google search to see if I could find any info about the gun battle in the parking lot in Ivor last week and found this BMT thread mentioned. I guess nobody ever noticed the mouse in this picture,eh?

Wow! Ma had a '65 two door with a 327 and a powerglide, it was nice, ran great too. I once had a '68 four door Impala with a 283 and powerglide, now that was a large car. It didn't really run what i'd describe as being great, it was a little bit under-powered.

Thanks, it's actually a 2002, I thought it was a 2001.

What else...oh, I saw a dump truck dumping some dogs... The Diamond T i've posted before, but this is a pretty good picture of it. ...and a girl in a car from the interweb- And my girl friend wanted me to buy her a car too, since I have to pay the difference on the Impala and what Jo got for the Saturn. I said "I ain't gonna buy you a car, but I will buy you a new pair of jeans, since those are torn all to pieces!"

It was nice just to get to go south for a change! That's a lot of steel right there! I saw lots of stuff in Texas, pretty much everything except randyp- birds, spacemen, elephants, bugs, horses... Now that's a big crane! Load of valves I picked up in Tomball, Tx. going to Williamsport, Pa. Nice Pontiac, 66 or 67. I saw this big Mack truck in Williamsport. And these two Internationals almost covered up by the bushes and weeds-

Turns out the ol' Saturn was totalled. She got a check for it in the mail yesterday. Tomorrow she's going to go get this Impala. I went by that used car lot- same one we got the Saturn from by the way- to look at a 2007 Malibu. She didn't like the Malibu, she liked the Impala. I said "you don't want that Impala, you want the Malibu." She said "I don't like that Malibu, I like the Impala." I said "you don't want that Impala, it's too big for you, and probably way more expensive." So we got the keys to both of them and she drove the Impala. All we did was sit in the Malibu, and I said "you're right, I like the Impala." It was way cleaner on the inside, and it was a 2001 model- you couldn't tell it had ever been sat in. And, it was the same price as the Malibu and only has 77,000 miles on it. The Malibu had 133,000. I did some work too, I went to Neville Island with a load of beams. I hope we're done with snow and ice now. While I was sitting there waiting to get unloaded this guy pulls in, stops right in the middle of the driveway, gets out,locks both doors, and saunters inside to check in. He had everything blocked-all he had to do was wait a few seconds until the guy in front of his truck put his tarps away, and he could have pulled in and gotten out of the way. Must be that Volvo thing. I saw a big Mack truck. I went to Houston too, I left last Saturday so I could deliver Monday. It's nice and green down that way- hot too! Lots of traffic on the road last Sunday.

You're right, the insurance adjuster said that was $4100 damage, and he valued the car at $2700.
