SATURDAY WAS A GOOD DAY AT MY HOUSE

[SonnyE]

We may be getting older Al, but growing up is optional.
Truth be told, I'd bet Judy is a pretty fair driver in her own right. :eek::rolleyes:

I forgot to say, my Dodge Challenger was a 1971.
But I like the modern muscle cars. Much better technology.

 

[SmokinAl]

Sounds great Al we could that, But you would have to let me drive it just a little !!
Then we could cook up some Brisket, Ribs and whatever else we could thin of.
I haven't had a go fast car in a while

Gary

Well Gary, you know I would let you drive it. Judy & my daughter went on a trip across the country about 25 years ago, our daughter was getting stationed at the Coast Guard station in San Francisco, right underneath the Golden Gate Bridge. So the two of them took my daughters jeep & drove out there, then Judy flew home. They made a bunch of stops along the way & for years Judy has wanted me to go the same route with her & visit the same places that she & my daughter went to. IF that ever happens I would for sure look you up on my way thru Texas. And I imagine I will still have the Mustang, it's almost 1 year old & I don't even have 3,000 miles on it!

Your right Sonny, Judy is a very good driver!
But you know the old muscle cars were easy to work on & repair.
Now this Mustang is much faster than the old ones, but about all I can do is open the hood & check the oil.
And as a young man I worked in a garage as a mechanic!

I'd bet on her in a race, Al.
Yep, the Oldies were pretty good. I hated having to remove the left Hooker Header to change the starter though.
But since it ate parts anyway, I got pretty good at it. LOL!
Most of the time, checking the oil is enough with all this new stuff. Even if we can't "work" on it, I think it is nice to not have to.
My Dodge had a Chrysler 383. 3 cam options, stock (Oatmeal), High Lift/Short duration (Torque), or full race High Lift (Big PITA to set up) I went for the torque when I rebuilt it. It was Nasty and Sexy.
I don't miss the tinkering the oldies took. I guess I got old too soon.
Hey, more time for washing, waxing, polishing, and Beer and Pickles while the ribs are cookin, right?
You enjoy both your Babies Al! ;)

Betty and I met on a blind date, for a ride with mutual friends, on Harley's. She didn't stand a chance. We outgrew being able to go for a days ride. I told her I wanted to sell the bike..
She said, "Sell the bike?"
I said, "Yeah.... and buy a boat."
She said, "Sell the bike, and buy a boat?"
She began to believe I would when I sold the bike.
That's when I hung up the speed, and took the Grandkid's fishin. 2005
No regrets. :)

Sounds like a fantastic day All!!
It's been better than more than 20 years since I had a fast mover.

Thanks Gary!
It's probably one of the craziest things I have done in my life, buying that car!
But I'm sure having some fun!!!
