    R.I.P. Joe Flarhety

    J Joe Flarhety passed on April 1. Truly funny and by all accounts a nice guy. One of his funniest bits on SCTV was a take-off he and Dave Thomas did of a Hope and Crosby road movie. He did a great Crosby while Thomas nailed Hope. Count Floyd RIP

    R.I.P. Mrs. Peel

    Diana Rigg dead at 82. The only Bond girl to marry Bond, and the coolest Avengers episodes are the ones she’s in. She was classy and HOT at the same time. R.I.P. Mrs. Peel

    Should Have Guessed

    I was doing a search for replacement drawer pull hardware for our bedroom set. I really wanted to replace all of it, but finding a nice piece with the right center to center measurement and not paying and arm and a leg was proving difficult. I found this site with an exact replacement for...

    Ever Hear of This?

    My wife was looking at a webpage with old cars and old car accessories and told me there was an old Chevrolet on it with “the liquid tire chain option”. I looked it up and apparently there was a one year only option on ‘69 Chevrolets, that mounted two aerosol cans in the trunk, one over each...

    R. I. P. Kirk Douglas

    Issur Danielovitch Demsky, more famously known as Kirk Douglas, dead at 103. One of the greatest among a golden age of greats. So many different roles, so many great movies. Lonely Are the Brave is on my favorites list. There certainly isn’t anyone in hollywood now that can hold a candle to him...

    2020

    Just read an article in Motor Trend about cars getting the axe in 2020. Looks like most of the major manufacturers are killing off models. Some will be replaced, some will just receive a new name or designation, and some will be gone. There’s no mention of Chrysler, but says that Fiat’s sales...

    Reverse threads

    Its possible this was discussed before but I remembered this the other day and thought I’d ask. Back in the day, I had a ‘69 Newport that I got from my Dad and it had reverse threads on the drivers side wheel lugs. Later I owned two Chargers, a ‘71 and a ‘72 and they had standard threads, as...

    Tornadoes

    Anyone else come under threat of tornadoes today? We started receiving warnings around 4pm. Not long afterward, this went over my house. Kinda scary.

    Pump gas

    I don’t know if this topic has come up before. Has anyone had problems with carburetors gumming up on small 2 cycle engines (leaf blowers, trimmers, etc.)? A couple of guys around here were saying that the ethanol content in today’s gas when mixed with the 2 cycle oil was causing carburetor...

    Original bill of sale

    Bought my Newport from the original owner. I think this dealership is defunct. Does anyone else have a car from there or know what’s there now?
