One of major league baseball's all-time greats, Willie Mays, has passed away at the age of 93. One of the best players I've ever seen. The man had natural ability and talent. R.I.P.

So... for all the oldies here. Back in the 70's during the van/CB/disco craze... what was your handle ? And why/how did you come up with it ? Me ? Since I was long Mopar in my blood by that time, the name had to relate. Mine was Superbird. "Breaker 1-9, you got the Superbird here. What's your 20...

1976 Chrysler Cordoba for sale in Cadillac, MI / classiccarsbay.com hey... don't shrug off entertainment value ! Read the description, it admits the inside is not pretty. And it drove great ! ... 16 years ago. { maybe this should be in the jokes and funny stuff category ? }

Today, 51 years ago, I bought one of my cars, which is the one I've owned the longest, and still have. So many others have come and gone since. Does anyone else remember the exact date they bought a car they own ? Although I have a general idea of when I got my other cars I still have, this is...

So, another thread prompted my burnt brain to come up with another memory from back in the Stone Age of my youth. Us "YOOTS" would get a brand new pair of WHITE sneakers... either Converse or Keds/Prokeds... and dye them a color of our choice. Yes, before you could walk into a store a buy color...

Members here from all walks of life, from all different areas over the globe. Yet, have a common interest for performance/classic cars, Mopars in particular. I myself go back to when these cars were nothing more than new/used cars at the time, not yet "classic" cars. With that said, I've owned...

Hall of Fame 3B, O's star Brooks Robinson dies For baseball fans who lived the era, this guy was THE BEST fielding 3rd baseman ever to play the game. He was a major part of the great Baltimore Orioles teams of the late 60's - 70's. When fans of opposing teams recognize and watch in awe at his...

A happy father's day to all the great Dads on this site. Each and every one, has given up something, whether small or immense, for the benefit of our children. All for the purpose of them becoming good human beings. While nothing can ever take the place of a good mother, the significance of a...

I've sometimes wondered to what level of restoration, or originality for that matter, is reasonable. Or is there a point where it becomes obsessive insanity. Does having the "correct" shade of satin-matte-flat-black really matter ? Will anyone other than the 1% Mopar fanatics really know, or...

Yvonne Craig "Batgirl" OR Yvonne de Carlo "Lily Munster"

Legendary guitarist Jeff Beck passes away. At 78 years old, he was a premier guitarist in the rock world. I was introduced to his artistry listening to the Yardbirds in my youth. R.I.P.

I'm sure any of us who've been in the automotive industry in one form or another, is very well aware of OSHA. So, I'm watching a crew install solar roof panels on a neighbor's home. And doing a very good, diligent job of doing so. Now, this particular home is a two-story house, and the roof...

It's been over 50 years since I bought my first car ... a Dodge of course ! And I can recite EXACTLY, without hesitation, the entire VIN of that car ! Now, I don't even know the license plate numbers of my current cars today. What is it that makes an indelible mark on your mind ? Anybody have...

So, I'm watching the Mecum auction. Up comes a superb B5 blue, white top 1970 Cuda "Convertible". Turns out, it's a V-code 6-barrel car, that was restored but installed a Hemi instead ! Now, I don't know the exact production number for a 70 Cuda CONVERTIBLE 6-barrel, but I think it would be...

One of my favorite Beatles songs, this is pretty obscure to many, as it wound up getting dumped into the Yellow Submarine album. It was recorded the same time as Lady Madonna, and I think this one should've been released as a single. Some say Lennon did the lead solo, not Harrison, as it was his...

Ok, guys and gals... step up and admit it. Confess, and be praised or ridiculed. Anybody either watches, or used to watch, any TV soap opera. I'll step up myself here. I've never, ever watched any daytime S.O., but I was an avid watcher of 2, and only 2, primetime S.O. From the "Who shot J.R. ...

As a huge hockey, huge NY Islanders fan, I am sad to say that one of the all-time great players has passed away at age 67. A integral part of the greatest dynasty in pro sports history, Gillies was a great player, as well as the toughest player ever to wear skates. His presence alone enabled...

After reading Steve's thread, I thought, what beverages do I, and others, NOT drink. NEVER. Whether for taste, health, or whatever reasons. Several beverages are on my "never" list. Soda, especially colas, just don't like them. Whole milk, after getting used to skim, yuk ! Buttermilk, yuk ...

My favorite oatmeal from my "yoot" ... I thought of this from another thread. I don't know if they still make it. But, I still eat my own style of Maypo by adding real maple syrup to oatmeal for breakfast.
