The girl with the GS could get my wheels off the ground pretty easily too.

I was married to my 2nd ex when I had my Buick, so it's potential was totally wasted. I did sell it to a guy who used it at the drag strip though.

I once bought a '64 Chevrolet station wagon cheap, with a worn out 283. The guy had used it in the ice races on lakes in NW Ontario. (fill up the oil and check the gas)

DeanT - Posted - 06/09/2017:  02:15:33

I remember those days...we kept a case of oil in the trunk

OM45GE - Posted - 06/09/2017:  02:48:01

Sounds like one of my old Harleys

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/09/2017:  07:04:31

Park it,, put a metal pan underneath it to collect the oil

OM45GE - Posted - 06/09/2017:  10:46:44

I used to say it was just marking its territory.

DeanT - Posted - 06/09/2017:  10:47:03

oh yeah... we ALWAYS had an oil pan under the car in the garage.

OM45GE - Posted - 06/09/2017:  10:52:04

I used to have a fake oil puddle - like the fake puke you can get at joke shops. I'd toss it under a buddy's bike and wait for him to freak out.

DeanT - Posted - 06/09/2017:  11:28:40

you're lucky you didn't get beat up for that!

OM45GE - Posted - 06/09/2017:  12:10:50

It only worked for a little while before everyone was on to me.

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/09/2017:  18:25:06

You were a pioneer of fake news

OM45GE - Posted - 06/09/2017:  18:32:35

I do love a good practical joke. 

DeanT - Posted - 06/10/2017:  15:24:31

I used to like the muffler whistles

OM45GE - Posted - 06/12/2017:  03:09:44

I used to see those in Whitney catalogs but never actually saw one. 

DeanT - Posted - 06/12/2017:  10:14:29

The JC Whitney catalogs had all kinds of cool stuff... I loved the Lincoln VW hoods

OM45GE - Posted - 06/12/2017:  17:30:40

They did have an incredible selection. You could spend hours leafing through the catalog. 

DeanT - Posted - 06/12/2017:  18:21:26

Their mud-flaps were my first porn

OM45GE - Posted - 06/13/2017:  02:29:26

I don't think I ever actually bought anything from them. 

DeanT - Posted - 06/13/2017:  05:06:43

I didn't either!

OM45GE - Posted - 06/13/2017:  05:21:17

It seems like I must have, but it's too far back in the mists of time for me to remember. I was always working on my own cars and bikes and I was always short on cash so it would have made sense.

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/13/2017:  08:06:58

I worked and went to school, later University for a few years and I was always near broke. Easy come, easy go in those daze.

DeanT - Posted - 06/13/2017:  10:18:28

yet we always had money for beer....

OM45GE - Posted - 06/14/2017:  03:11:17

Well, yeah. It's a matter of priorities. 

DeanT - Posted - 06/14/2017:  10:22:59

Free beer was always the best

OM45GE - Posted - 06/14/2017:  13:34:21

I was more likely to score free pot than free beer. Joints got passed around, beers got held in hand.

DeanT - Posted - 06/14/2017:  16:07:12

Life in the fast lane...

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/14/2017:  21:28:08

Today it's the granny lane

OM45GE - Posted - 06/15/2017:  03:32:29

I've known some grandmothers who could party with the best of us. 

DeanT - Posted - 06/15/2017:  05:15:30

I met one once... I think her name was Maggie May. 

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/15/2017:  07:18:40

youtu.be/L_Vp5ejFbxM   Reminds me of this song.....

DeanT - Posted - 06/15/2017:  12:32:11

That's a good song, I never even heard it before

OM45GE - Posted - 06/16/2017:  10:19:38

I haven't heard that in ages.

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/16/2017:  15:17:14

I first heard it on BG jnctn on XM radio by Charlie Sizemore last year

OM45GE - Posted - 06/17/2017:  05:05:23

I heard it on a local C&W station that did a set of "drunk" songs.  Please Daddy Don't Get Drunk This Christmas was another one. 

DeanT - Posted - 06/17/2017:  06:35:41

I remember that one, John Denver. They never play it anymore either

OM45GE - Posted - 06/18/2017:  03:54:50

Willie Nelson's "I Gotta Get Drunk"

DeanT - Posted - 06/18/2017:  07:36:50

I'm more a one bourbon, one scotch, one beer person

OM45GE - Posted - 06/19/2017:  02:30:57

These days, if I had that much alcohol, I would be asleep. 

DeanT - Posted - 06/19/2017:  10:19:32

That's why these days I'm an ice tea person...

OM45GE - Posted - 06/19/2017:  10:29:31

Love good ice tea. I drink a lot of water too.

DeanT - Posted - 06/19/2017:  15:44:13

same here, especially in this heat! Our heat index is going over 100 these days...

OM45GE - Posted - 06/20/2017:  03:38:30

That's hot!  

DeanT - Posted - 06/20/2017:  15:39:18

My wife and I have a big glass, office style water jug. It has over 30 years worth of pennys in it, and is right at half full. I can't lift it.

Edited by - DeanT on 06/20/2017 15:41:49

OM45GE - Posted - 06/20/2017:  18:17:32

I had one of those filled with coins too. I tried to tip it over to empty the coins out so,we could roll them and it shattered. That was a mess. 

DeanT - Posted - 06/21/2017:  02:07:52

I'm kind of worrried about that...

OM45GE - Posted - 06/21/2017:  03:10:12

I have a beer tunny that I use now. It's amazing how the coins add up. If I wait until it's full before I roll them, I've had close to $300 in the jar. 

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/21/2017:  06:26:08

I get too much change in my pockets, so I use'em up when I buy stuff

DeanT - Posted - 06/21/2017:  10:20:00

We have the pennies in the glass jug, and do silver change in a old coffee can. Yep... $200-$300 every couple years.
