I have to ask - what factor is working against you keeping the car? a) your age (or ability to actually drive the car) b) the ongoing cost to keep the car safe and sound AND to drive it occasionally Is passing the car down to family a possiblity? Is it more important that the car gets a good...

The '67 Monaco 500 with light green top that was posted a couple posts up on April 15 by 67newport - is that a FCBO car?

I watched the last maybe hour. Was anything said about Belle Isle? Mitch Albom was mentioned briefly in connection to some project. Man what that guy went through a few weeks ago in Haiti. What he does for Detroit - he doesn't get enough credit.

I hear them talking a lot about the future of the Ren Cen on WJR. That building going up 50 years ago was seen as iconic or symbolic of a recovering Detroit, but now it's future is uncertain. But the restoration of the Michigan Central station is fantastic. And the new bridge, which gets NO...

Haggerty has a story about a recent change to Michigan's rules on driving a car with historic license plates, or (I guess) otherwise registered as a "historic" vehicle. Michigan's laws were similar to Ontario (Canada) where if you register your car as historic, it severely limits how much and...

Very interesting how cold it got, so fast. Should make people think about what is really the driving force of our global climate and weather - and it's not what comes out of our tail pipes.

There are some people selling stuff that only want to deal with payment via USPS money orders. Can this Canadian get an explanation as to how this is done if I'm making a quick trip to the US? I understand that a MO can be bought at a post office or a kiosk. The hours at a post office are...

It's cloudy here in London ON this morning, but if it turns clear and I drive the 10 miles to get into the zone, it will also be in my '04 300m.

I'm 10 miles north of the total ecplise zone, it's going to be a traffic zoo around here as people head to Port Stanley and the beach on the Lake Erie north shore to be well into the zone. It it's going to be anything like today (wall to wall sunshine) then a lot of people are going to be...

Congrats - and tell them to make a batch of 215/75-14 white wall tires!

A final phase of demolition got underway Monday at the Packard Plant on Detroit's east side as the mayor declared that most of what's left of the infamous graffiti-scrawled ruins will all be down by year's end. The city will preserve two structures of the Packard Plant for their historical...

I get the sense from reading this that aftermarket audio for cars in the 60's was mostly under-dash tape players, not necessarily replacement in-dash radios. https://www.tapeheads.net/threads/the-glory-years-of-car-audio.6931/#post-77525

My dad bought my '67 Monaco from the dealer show room. It had the AM radio, which was listed as a $150 (CAD) option. My dad told them to take the radio out (and cut $150 off the price). It could be that the car was ordered by someone, with the radio, but they backed out of the purchase...

https://euroweeklynews.com/2024/01/12/eus-controversial-car-laws-vs-repairing-older-vehicles/ The proposal, originating from the European Commission and yet to be ratified, aims to phase out older, more polluting vehicles in favour of environmentally friendly options. This prospective...

Is that your friend's '68 Monaco in the first photo? What's he doing driving it in the Ontario winter?

Supposedly that is the address of the Winchester Band Scholarship Trust. Satellite photos (unknown date) show 2 or 3 dozen vehicles on the property. 2018 street view doesn't show a car port or anything noteworthy.

In 1985, my daily-driver was a 20 year-old car (1965 Dodge Polara). In 1993, my daily-driver was a 20 year-old car (1973 Plymouth Satellite). In 2024, my daily driver is a 20 year-old car (2004 Chrysler 300m). I think there is a pattern here. But note that in 2000, my daily driver was a...
