That looks like a fun day !!!! Happy and Healthy is a good thing !!! (Got to hit some walls outside yesterday. Making great progress becoming a stronger me.)
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.
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....................🙂
For me, a great car is a great car. Mopar has an attitude and a feel that nobody can match. Modern Viper over Vette every day of the week! Given all the money in the world, though... I'd have just about every make in my garage.
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.
Good Morning Y'all... Thanks for the well wishes for the wife. Hope we are headed in the rite direction? Sounds like yall are having a good time? Vacation,,, Mowing the yards, Tom hope them Tornadoes past you by without any harm. Scary stuff !!!!
I been busy as hell. Work is booming and I cant keep up. Sure makes the day go fast...
Well yall have a great Thursday !!! L8ER
Well I hope everyone is ready for a great weekend.
Waaahoooo, the boy is out of school for the summer. 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃
I hope everyone has a safe and sound 🌞summer.
I like the Corvette idea, it's a V8 and American two of my favourite things about any car. Confession here, I've always wanted a Citroen DS, I don't know why and I know it's weird and wrong but if I had that bucket of money, I'd have one.
Nothing wrong with liking an odd-ball car like that DS!
The strange ones are my personal favorite. Rarity, something unique to experience, and being able to break away from the "same car, different driver" crowd is cool in my opinion.
I used to like VW beetles that are modified as dune buggys, until I moved to CA for a while and realized there are thousands of them out there and some of the owners are "high and mighty" about them. Seeing something too much is a downer for me.
Odd ball cars tell me about it!
Try having a 1976 Volare, even one that runs tens with no power adders on the street. Yep it's cool but it's a frik'n Volare. The mopar snobs get a kick out of putting it down, and the under thirty crowd doesn't know what the hell it is.🙃
Sorry Mopar snobs out there, but I always thought a Volare was a cool body style and thought it was about perfect for a hot rod/race car. They are like a dart/duster, when new they were the second car for the wife, the car you bought to send your daughter to college, so many other "cool" cars were around so they were over looked. I remember clearly when they came out, I was finishing high school and thought perfect size for a race car.
Got my drivers license in my Grandma's 1967 Belvedere 273 auto, that's probably where this disease started.

Reviews on those Volatres are brutal!
There are a lot of bitter comments about them, haha!
For myself,
I had a good time laughing as myself and some co-workers ran a Kia minivan through a gauntlet of poorly paved roads and steep grades yesterday. There is something comical, but also impressive about an N/A i4 van (packed to the gills with grown men) trying to haul it's own @$$ on very technically challenging roads!
We did manage at one point to get passed by a horse, which is... One horsepower! Haha!
Good Morning Y'all..... Hope you all have a great work week to those that it applies too.... Not much to report... Old 1977 Dodge D150 Warlock 360 is running good... Take a licking and keeps on ticking....
Hey all I'm sit'n at the pool looking at the scenery and thinking.................yep I am.😎 Its funny when you get to be my age and you don't miss much as in you notice everything. lol
IS that you or the Booze Talking ?????? Hahahahahahahaha .(yep I am.😎 Its funny when you get to be my age and you don't miss much as in you notice everything. lol)
No booze Bob, but you can only watch the boy go off the diving board and down the slide so many times. Then your just forced to look at the women, darn. Something I don't understand is the very attractive women with body tattoos that aren't really that nice. Why would a beautiful woman cover her body with clip art, I find it distracting.
I had to laugh at one thing that happened in front of me, a boy 4 or 5 wasn't listening to mom and grandma and ran to the pool and jumped in the 3.5 foot, the two women had him as his feet hit the water and plucked him back out. I was talking to a gal next to me and I told her I would have let him get in the water and see why he was told no, then jump in and get him. She actually agreed, I was surprised.
The boy will be nine next year and will be able to go to the pool on his own, yay!
