Ok,i give.................what the hell's a range cube? LOL!.........................................Mark

That is a good looking truck,got to agree though,that "gangster" visor gots to go! i see a lot of those drop visors (especially on paccar junk) so damn low,i dont see how you can see to drive! course; the majority of peterbilts i pass,the drivers are sitting on the floor,guess its better to look "cool" then actually see what your doing/over the hood?...............Mark

Had to laugh at that! i saw one of those old volvo's the other day,dont remember what model/year etc. but it looks like somebody put a 48 ford sedan in the dryer too long! and shrank it!.................LOL!..Mark

Had a woolworths lunch counter/soda fountain in the next town over from me in Jersey,the BEST real milkshakes! funny all the little things you miss later in life,especially the way the world is now! kids today dont know all the good stuff they missed! we had a small Mom and Pop hobby shop in my town growing up,remember slot cars? track was HUGE! hell we spent many a rainy saturday in there,never got molested,kidnapped,killed or anything! i still got an old tackle box with a few parts/bodies in it from the sixties,i remember you could get bigger tires,"hotter" engines,all kinds of shit! prolly even still have a trophy i won with my "badass" willys coupe! LMAO!..................................Mark

We had a few stores on the east coast as well, W.T. Grants,Two Guys,Jamesway etc. i still have corded drill from Grants, prolly 50 years old, that works like a champ! we always looked forward to the Sears catalog too,it was a great big thing back then! last i saw a "print" catalog,it was maybe 20 pages long,with next to nothing usefull in it. The closest Sears to us growing up is the oldest one in Jersey,and is still in existance,i had a childhood friend who's father started working there in 1947,and just recently retired! they had a "kenmore" refridgerator with a "forever" warranty on it,that Sears had a shit-fit when they has to replace it for free a year or two ago!...........................P.S. bet Bullhusk remembers Two Guys!.................Mark

Larry,was Higbee's a real store? i always like that "christmas story" that comes on every year,and noticed the did their shopping at Higbee's,never knew it was a real place,native to Ohio i guess? supposed to be in cleveland i think.............................Mark

He'll find out the hard way!............................welcome aboard!..Mark

Prolly never own any of them,but this is pretty much my bucket/dreamcar wishlist.........................Mark

I found a 70 SS 396 in the "weeds" when i went to my cousins 4th of july party up around drakes branch this past summer,no engine,trans. (4 speed) or rear etc. needed everything! i left my number with the people that answered the door,when they called me back a few days later the price was 20K! (i passed)........................Mark

I gotta agree with that! never been a mopar man,but i'd buy one of these in a heartbeat! the "new" Camaro is frickin' hideous! not crazy about the current Mustangs either.............Mark

I think the goal is to actually get the waistband above the head,but i think this could be considered the rare ATOMIC wedgie?...........................................Mark

We all know about hindsight,but that car is worth a SHITPOT of money now! i had a similar 67 pontiac tempest,with all the goodies,GTO front clip/engine trans. traded it in on my pickup,i think they gave me $700.00 and it was in perfect condition!...............................Mark

i was sitting at a traffic light,minding my own business,when a car load of young,angry muslims pulled up next to me,shouting anti-american profanity,and making obscene gestures. When the light turned green,they squealed tires and drove away,pulled out in front of an eighteen-wheeler,which crashed into them,crushing the car,and killing them all instantly. I took the time to gather my thoughts,and reflected "man,that coulda been me" Very next day,i took a job as a truckdriver......................................

I know just what you mean Ernie! grew up the same way,been aroung trucks all my life,back in the days when you could tell what engine was in a truck just by hearing it! just too much BS in trucking anymore damn new laws,rules,regs. etc........geez,when i was a kid,remember standing on a loading dock with my dad an a BUNCH of other drivers,i was maybe 8-9 years old.dad says "go ahead an pull it up,an shut the doors" HOLY SHIT!!!! thought i was given the keys to the kingdom! even remember dad looking at a NEW Brockway cabover,Vineland, was NJ was the factory hub in our area back then,.building is still standing,used to be a BIG husky on the sign out front,prolly someone stole it....................those were the days!....Mark

Welcome aboard! nice to have another Jersey guy on here! there are a few of us! whereabouts you at in Jersey? born raised in south jersey myself,moved to va about 4 years ago...............Mark

Then came another one in 71, fastest street legal production car (factory stock) ever! dont get me wrong i am a muscle car man from day one,and see some good i like in all makes and models,but back when (when they had their shit together) GM was king of the hill at the time!........................Mark

Good to see you back! yep i agree,want anything done right,gotta do it yourself!......................had a flat on my new trailer back before christmas,had to explain to pancho 6 times that i wanted the wheel holes lined up! no savvy? and smiles,well dammit i savvy! put the damn wheel and tire on the right way!!!!!!!! i guess maybe its the 'Jersey" in me,but Ol'Mark aint got near as much patience as he used to have, specially' for stupidity!........................welcome back!..................Mark

Last time i talked to Otherdog in person,he said something about having to take the blowup doll to the local Bandag shop,something about having its ass recapped? LMAO!....................Mark

Damn! i thought this was a blowup doll support kit! LMAO!.................................Mark

Certainly agree with that!...........................Mark
