New thread! Woop woop!
I'm potentially planning a trip to FL pretty soon here. Be nice to put some highway behind me again. I used to road trip a couple times a month, but life has interrupted that tradition for the past couple of years. I'm hoping to not only start doing it again, but bring it up to a new level by hitting new places and doing new things this year. Buuut, I also need to finish my degree. So, we'll see what happens. |

That Garlits Museum is on my bucket list.... :)
|
That museum is a little too far out of my way this time, but that's definitely something I'll have to go see!
Thinking of motorsport things to travel for, I remember reading about a Nascar driving experience where they put you behind the wheel of a real cup car on a real track. I wonder if that's still a thing. |
Good afternoon everyone
We've got 70s and sunshine in northern Iowa today! And it's about time, it seems like are winter was longer this year because we skipped fall and just started with the nasty stuff and it's just let up. I've got yard work this weekend I need to mow my lawn for the first time while this is the time I usually do this I have grass going to seed in some airas and some just an inch long. Go figure So I hope everyone is on the move one way or another with there mopar projects, have a good one. |
If it makes you feel any better, Aspen, CO was at 396" of snow this season and still getting more with a late season surge. In fact there are still some ski lifts open around the state. We managed to get away last weekend and caught a decent break in the weather for an incredible hike to Hanging Lake. Thought I would stop in and share a couple pictures.

I remember reading a thread on another mopar site from a guy that was having trouble with justifying an old car I think he had a 69 or 70 RR. But only using it for a few months a year didn't make sense for the money or effort involved. I'd say if you don't enjoy it don't do it but for me even not driving them is still enjoyable. Just having a project to think about and plan or work on when you can is great. I think all of my adult life I've had a project car and I'm not going to stop now.
|
The weather this year has been great so far. Very few cloudy weekends around here. I'm glad I finally get to take advantage and make a road trip!
To add to the project car discussion; Even though I haven't hardly done any of my own work this last round of mods, I still really enjoy planning it all out. Some of my assumptions have already been blown away by reality in both good and bad ways. Knowing what I know now, I'll probably be waiting until I have an alternate daily driver and my own garage again before I do anymore major work. I feel like I missed out on so much and gained very little by paying someone else. And, with AWD, I'd be happy to road trip my rig even in poor weather. I just love the process and the results too much for discomfort, frustration and inconvenience to stop me (though I will avoid those things at all cost, because I love me some comfort, haha!) Lessons learned for me. For now, I hope everyone gets to enjoy the summer and that the speed gods are merciful to ya! |

Good Morning Y'all, Cloudy and cool day here in SO-CAL. I'm Liking it !!! Not much going on around Hogs house. Wifey has been down ill. So have been occupied with those kinds of issues and not able for play out in the world of hot rods. Sure miss my car and racing family's... :(
But, We be here helping put... Speaking of witch... Where is Drag Pack ????? |
I borrowed my sister's tractor and did some mowing on my property this weekend the lawn had gotten away from me. I don't normally mow until the week after mothers day but but a few years ago I I fertalized with so of the stuff we putt on the fields and the grass grows like weeds. Not so much the first year but for the last three.
The boy was to participate in the program at the cemetery today for scout's but that was canceled because of the storms going on but the rains have tapered off now. Bob I hope the Mrs. Gets back up to snuff it seems like she's had a tough time this last year or two. Every one have a safe holiday! |
RacerHog, I hope your lady gets to feeling better soon!
I hope everyone had some time to enjoy the holiday weekend! I happened across a muscle car show at the VFW in the town I visited family in. It was hot as heck on the lot, but they're a humble crowd and everyone was happy to show their cars! Lady Wreklus decided she wants a 70 - 77 style Corvette Stingray. She wants to buy a rolling chassis and body so that we can restore it, paint it sky blue and put a crate motor-trans combo in. It might not be Mopar, but I couldn't be more proud that she picked something so iconic! All the more reason to keep working hard so that I can buy that mythical house with a big garage and a lift! I'm back to work with zero days off for the next few weeks! But I have some great memories from the road trip in The Cookie Monster and time with Lady Wreklus. |
I don't care who she is, if she wants to put a bowtie in the garage she has to go....................🙂

Besides, if I were to actually buy one there is no reason I couldn't put any kind of power under the hood... To include Mopar. |
On the back of my Plymouth, a 76 Volare is says "Bowties are for nerds" the only lettering that is still on the car from back in the day. I'm thinking of repainting the car and it will be put back on the car if that happens.
