Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests
There sure are a lot of break failure stories. I'm just glad that mine happened where it did and I had a way out. I had the breaks go out once before, but it was probably somewhat my fault. It was close to 30 years ago. The breaks stared acting up and became very "spongy" when applied. I...- Big Man

Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests
We had a little excitement after church yesterday. I was driving the old '65 Ford (as usual). We pulled out of our parking spot, circled around behind the church, and started down the long hill where the church drive intersects the main highway. About half way down the hill, and with no...- Big Man

Things You Learn as an Old Car Driver
One somewhat funny thing I've learned as an old car driver is to field odd (dare I say "stupid") questions. While I have three "old cars", I drive a '65 Ford on a daily basis. I am 60 years old (that means I was born in 1955). I think (and have been told my most everyone) that I don't look 60...- Big Man

The *funniest* comment I ever heard...
I have been surprised at the number of "cowboy" comments I've received when wearing what is obvious is NOT a cowboy hat. So, is it a stupid comment, or just stupid people? [huh] -

The *funniest* comment I ever heard...
I was wearing this hat today when I went into the Court House to get some paperwork certified. When I walked up to the desk, the lady there asked me "did you ride your horse into town?" I looked at her with the most puzzled look on my face and said, "What?" "Did you ride your horse into... -

I brought my old '48 Plymouth home from the shop today, washed it up good, and took it out for a much needed (for me) drive this afternoon. The old car has new brakes all around, complete with all new wheel cylinders all the way around. I also have new motor and transmission mounts, a new...- Big Man

Adventure! Fedora Lounge Folks in Action!
I spent some time in the woods yesterday doing some hiking and exploring a new trail. Instead of posting in the thread “Adventure! Fedora Lounge Folks in Action!” I almost had to post in a new thread, “Adventure! Fedora Lounge Folks OUT OF Action!” While doing a bit of bushwhacking...- Big Man

Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests
Yesterday, on the way home from Church, my old '65 Ford Custom 500 turned over 300,000 miles. My aunt Sara bought the car brand new in 1965. She was a teacher and drove the car from her house to school - a distance of about 1 mile each way. Other than that, we took an occasional trip in her...- Big Man

My little granddaughter collecting pumpkins from the garden. I think her pink work boots set off her outfit just right. If this child is anything, she is "original" for sure.- Big Man

My grandchildren had a good time yesterday playing together. They took some blankets and made a fort on the front porch. I'm glad they are the kind of children who will play outside and use their imagination rather than sit in front of the TV or on their smartphones playing video games all...- Big Man

Looks like if someone went through that much work they'd have picked something besides a Lumina. [huh]- Big Man
