    Classic Cars and Cell Phones Don't Mix Well

    I think I recall from past threads on the subject that Haggerty works differently in Canada than it does in the states. As a long-time Hagerty customer, I have had chance to have a claim with them in the past and it could not have gone any smoother. They were very polite and helpful. I had my...

    Classic Cars and Cell Phones Don't Mix Well

    Nope. PC, keyboard, proper monitor. Cell phone remains a communications tool only for me and I often leave it laying on my desk as I go out and about.

    Classic Cars and Cell Phones Don't Mix Well

    Man, that just sucks. It's almost like one of your kids getting hurt, because it's not just a car when it comes to our rides, is it? I'm blessed to live in a fairly rural area (hence light traffic always) but yeah, the "radar" is always up when I have Fred out for a drive. I'm always watching...

    PDX GTX

    Atta boy. That's the right attitude that perpetuates the hobby - if for anything else, so that all these beautiful cars that folks have invested so much time and money in will live on after we're gone. It'd be a shame to toss all that out...

    PDX GTX

    Nah, they're cars. Drive the damn things, pedigreed or not! Hell, I sure do with my own "Fred the GTX" - he gets plenty of attention in public. I've written often about how one has to sometimes make time for random folks just walking up to you and wanting to share their stories or wanting to...

    70 Satellite LS Swap

    I fail to see the purpose of the thread. World is full of younger folks all seemingly dying for attention, though. Nothing new here.

    Valentine 1 Gen 2 owners advice

    Similar thing here. Since I got out of the rat race in VA in 1995 and moved down here, I've never run a detector. Things are different here; you know what they're looking for and their ways of enforcement - and to be honest, they'll give you a dozen or so over the limit without so much as a...

    Valentine 1 Gen 2 owners advice

    Ah, Ed Radar-Trouble Story time!: It used to be fun running around VA back in the 80s/90s with a detector (the early, prehistoric V1 of course). They had an unconstitutional law against them in that state then (still?) and the state police rolled with detector-detectors (I think they were VG-2...

    My rear end has a heartbeat

    Logic: what has changed since last time all was well (with no "heartbeat")? Tires and wheels off/on the car? There's your culprit.

    My rear end has a heartbeat

    This would be a good one to figure out a way to mount a GoPro under there, aimed at the diff... Take a drive and see if anything is evident externally.

    For all you metal heads out there

    I consider Megadeth to be superior to Metallica in the "Big 4" of thrash metal; I know I'm in the minority with that opinion, but Mustaines' writing is just so much better, more complex, more melodic, more heavy... Mustaine has recently announced he's hanging it up - the next release will be...

    FINALLY the light at the end of the tunnel I think!

    Agreed. Always enjoy reading up on Bobs' exploits with that gorgeous car. Get it, Bob! :thumbsup:

    Labor Day Weekend Car Show Pics

    Mercy, that neck of the woods sure has been historically quite the cache' of all manner of quality old cars, eh? When I remember back to the times I visited your fair state, I think of good people, tons of great places to eat and all the freaking CARS! That region fairly geographically...

    What's it Worth Thinking of selling my dad's Superbird

    No worries sir, not offended at all - and that's what I suspected was going on, honestly. I hope you post MORE often around here (literate, capable writers always being in demand, after all). Looks like you know how to post without quoting now, too. :thumbsup:

    What's it Worth Thinking of selling my dad's Superbird

    Not sure why you chose to quote/reply to me on this.... I simply noted the reputed Sam Posey connection (that's the provenance part) and what the auction ended at. Otherwise, I have no association with any of this deal, nor do I profess any knowledge of same.
