    Hellcat crash near my house

    This happened about a mile north of my house the other night. I heard all the sirens that evening. What’s a 21 year old kid doing in a Hellcat anyway? Dads car? Maybe stolen? He must have been hauling azz, the damage is massive with the hood ending up 100’ from the car. Hope the SUV driver...

    Famous HS Classmate of mine won’t be down

    Eric Gilliland was in my High School class. I never knew him, knew of him though. He was active in all the school plays and talent shows of course. I remember seeing his name in the credits of the Roseanne show and wondered if it was my high school classmate. It was, and he also produced a...

    Vandal goose tried to make my Scat Pack into a Hellcat

    Last night while driving home from work, I passed a small cruise night and spotted an old friends car parked there. So I stopped by and sat down and BS'd with him and some other guys there for hours. At one point several formations of low flying geese flew over the cruise and I panicked...

    Anyone have experience in listing cars on Bring a Trailer?

    I have a somewhat high end (V code) Mopar I've have been trying to sell off and on for a number of years, and the experience has left me with a case of PTSD about trying to sell cars, due to the fact that 99% of the people who have ever contacted me about my ads are flakes, Richard Rawlings...

    Should you tip a car delivery driver?

    I have a new car supposed to be delivered from a out of state dealer today, and I paid the dealer for delivery. Other than hiring a local Mopar guy to take some of my cars to MCACN and back a few times, and bring my Magnum here from OH after I bought it a few years ago, I haven't got any...

    Got any good automobile wrenching related scars?

    I was out to lunch with an old buddy of mine today and he reminded me of a misadventure I had working on cars that left me "branded" for life. I pulled one of my cars out of the garage around 12 years ago to head to a evening cruise. I thought I smelled gas so looked under the hood and saw that...

    Why all these calls and texts about my house lately?

    It seems like almost every day in recent months I get calls and texts asking if I want to sell my house. I know the housing market is tight right now with low inventory, but what is the point of these calls, do they ever actually find anyone who says yes? And I live near Chicago, who wants to...

I know Diego and he's got a bit of a twisted/complex sense of humor, so the April Fools tag, and last line in the article, made me question if there is a prank aspect to this or if the missing US market 1970 hemi Coronet RT...

    Anyone still have their High School ride?

    A MCACN email last week announced a new feature display for the 2024 show. There is going to be a feature of cars that the owners have had since high school. That puts me in a dilemma as I was already planning to enter one of my cars that will be celebrating its 55th "birthday" on 11-24...
