Both of us had a factory shroud as well. I've talked to some guys who didn't, and that creates an issue.

I consider my 2007 Lexus LS 460 that I bought last month a late model car. I've never owned anything newer. I was digging around tire well trying to find the socket for the locking lug nuts, and was amazed to find a full size spare. Got to wonder if I can still lift one of those. It wasn't a...

Just the hot girls. The last one was a real looker, and knew it. I took her out just to prove I could, and never asked her for a second date. She was furious, and asked me if I was gay, or if she had bad breath. My wife of 48 years was the next girl I dated.

I refuse to cut across the Penn State campus when driving to points east of where I live because of the concentrated volume of idiot pedestrians. A few years ago, one of them walked into the side of a moving bus and was killed. Not a lot of indicators that many of these folks are actually smart.

Wegmans by any chance? I worked with their in house bakery, they were one of the more impressive corporate producers I dealt with.

Like Don, I ended up with a 20 year career serving the food production business, transportation side in my case. When my law practice went under, and I ended up back on the truck, I was low man on board, and ended up with a haul none of the senior drivers wanted. I got stuck serving an outpost...

My junior year at Penn State, I got a part time job working in the student union building cafeteria, as a dishwasher and busboy. The $1.95 per hour starting pay wasn't a big motivator, but the all you could eat meal for 50 cents was a big deal during a time when I was consuming 5000 calories...

Awesome history! Thanks for being a caretaker.

I use a Monarch bolt in system with the original floor mounted gas pedal in my '69 GTX, and it works well. Prior owner of one of my former cars had the system in his GTX and recommended it. Seems to be easier bolt in than changing the pedal configuration. I bought the used assembly on ebay for...

During my four decades in the tank truck business, I soon figured out that the top 10% of drivers generated the bulk of the profits. The process was driven by the ability to unload difficult cargo in a timely manner, and thus increase the percentage of loaded miles within regulatory and customer...

It's worse with a tractor trailer, and really bad with a top heavy bulk tanker, or an unbaffled liquid tank with a slosh load. During my corporate tour I taught a defensive driving class during new hire orientation. All new employees attended, whether drivers or not. The key to avoiding a roll...

My attorney charges thousands of dollars, to save clients tens of thousands. Seems like a good deal to me, but my wife has always cried over the amount of the invoice.

My '69 with factory disc brakes has the original, but the car is a freak.

Not a Charger, but my 1969 GTX was a company car for the local Plymouth dealer for 15 years. It stayed on the floor plan for three years, until the bank made him purchase it in 1972. It was then titled to the dealership, and still ran dealer plates until it was sold in 1983. When I finally...

I had both my temperature and fuel readings go bad, but I got lucky that they failed at different times, so I was able to rule out the voltage limiter. I went through three temperature sending units which wouldn't read correctly, two of them later Mopar NOS, finally bought some old used OEM from...

When I was in private practice, I would advise potential clients with poor cases not to expect to win. I often got the reply, "it's a matter of principle." My response was always, "this is what it will cost you, and I need payment in advance." It didn't take long until I was driving a truck again.

I'll never forget watching a new 1970 Trans Am running an autocross at Penn State back in the day. Beautiful car, and the handling was pretty amazing. Then a local redneck kid in a 340 Duster beat the time. That guy could really drive.

There was a seven page thread posted here last summer about my getting a moving violation with my GTX while attending the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals the prior year. I appeared on my own behalf, and won. If I'd paid another lawyer of equal competence to represent me, the cost would have been...

When I was a corporate attorney, I sometimes did these cases for strategic reasons. The cost of my time was always far above the cost of the citation.

Greatest fear I had while on the road was the possibility of a bad medical event in the middle of nowhere. Ironically, most of the guys I knew who drove until old age died in a hospital.
