Ron outlines some valid points that took me back to my freshman year in law school. The knowledge of the hazard, combined with control over it, creates the legal burden of "scienter." This refers to a duty owed to others, once these two elements are in place. If I were the golf club owner, I...

When I had my general counsel job and dealt with 900 trucks, we got phone calls for broken windshields as a result of tire tossed rocks on a daily basis. Told the claimants to contact their insurance company. On bigger claims the insurance company comes back at the offending party, seeking to...

Glad you are still with us, Ed. You've more than earned the right to rest a bit. I still really appreciate reading your thoughts any time you are up to it.

Not a Dodge with a "Magnum" pie tin, but my April build, unrestored '69 GTX I bought from the original owner had a red "Super Commando" tin. It was pretty beat up, so I bought a new one at the dealer for $30. This was in 1991.

I think your shop foreman has you covered.

To my chagrin, I saw the identical process at work during my four decades in the trucking industry. I was embarrassed with what I was putting behind the wheel during my final years in management. A big reason I spent the last 20 years on the truck was the low level of the competition. I beat...

As I said earlier, he screwed up by picking a retired attorney as his mark. After the judge threw the case out, he apologized to me for having to make the trip. I replied, hey I'm retired, got me out of my wife's hair for the day, and got a great breakfast at Fay's Country Kitchen, my favorite...

When I was a student, I was able to pay for a year's tuition with the money I made driving a tractor trailer to the west coast during the summer. I paid for the first year by selling my first GTX. I graduated with $15,000 in debt, for living expenses, after my wife and I had our daughter while...

See post #5. I won it. Congratulations to your daughter for graduating there. Not Harvard, but under rated, IMO. Top two guys in my class (1983) ended up making seven figures a year. I was nowhere near that level, but I managed to make enough in my career to keep me in GTXs.

At least we have the FBBO tent for shelter.:(

As an Asian raised in rural Pennsylvania, I have a reverse profiling issue when I order hard core traditional dishes at Chinese restaurants catering to international students at Penn State. I always have to request a fork.

What was a bit amusing in retrospect, was that I dealt with this stuff as an attorney for four decades, including a decade as a general counsel dealing with 900 trucks. I always advised my drivers not to argue the law on the side of the road. My former trooper friend was starting to escalate...

Get to the BBQ joint, fix the defect, then put on the lawyer hat, and get the ticket tossed.

Looking forward to attending next week, but the GTX is staying home. After last year, I feel like it has a bullseye on it.

And I just retired my attorney license, so I can't help in that department either.

I have attended the Chrysler Nationals every year since it started in 1991, most years with a vintage Mopar, never had a problem until this one. They threw the book at a senior citizen who has pumped significant revenue into the local economy by attending the event. The vehicle defect was...

Interesting situation with local enforcement in Carlisle. Officer told me he was under pressure from his supervisor to write equipment defects as moving violations. Then told me to fight it, and if the judge didn't throw it out, he would reduce the charge to a non moving violation. My...

What wasn't so funny, was the ticket was $200, and was written as a moving violation, rather than defective equipment. The lesson learned from my experience is to do a pre-trip inspection before you drive your car off the Carlisle show field.

No, but I beat the rap when I went to court. The judge threw it out when I told him I knocked the turn signal bulb out of the housing when I loaded my wheelchair in the trunk. :lol:

I gave away my three cans as door prizes at the FBBO tent last year. They might still be in the hands of a member here.
