    We've lost Alexander

    Although I've been out of the Mark VIII world for nearly five years now, I've continued to seek out Alexander each year at Carlisle. Two years ago he told he had cancer and I was visibly shaken and didn't know how to respond. But I did my best and knew we were about to be robbed of a great...

    Boy... did I get nailed!

    Now if only they'd give it 300hp

    I drove a rental 500 for about 10 days last month. It's big and roomy on the inside, big trunk, lot's of storage space, 0-60 in 8'ish something "peppy", fairly good fuel economy, but "blah". It is a very unexciting car. If I wasn't a car person and just wanted basic transportion to haul...

    Looking at these Goodyear Tires--Opinions.

    If price is no object, you'd be hard pressed to find a better tire. I just ordered a set of 275/40/17's for my '03 Mach 1. I compared 29 different types of tires in the size I wanted and these came out on top. Just don't drive in snow according to the survey. ** Bill ** 2003 Mach 1 1970 Mach...

    Gauging interest 1/4 scale DOHC replica

    RE: Gauging interest Somehow I broke one of the chains that go around the left side camshaft on mine so I pulled the little oil cap off and drilled out the plastic underneath it. I then made some tools with paperclips and “fished” out the chain through the opening. I was able to fix the chain...

    Cool commercial

    Man does that bring back some memories. When my father got back from Viet Nam back we went to a Ford dealership and got me a new Grabber Yellow 1970 Mustang Sportsroof that I drove off to college. Flash forward 20 years, I had just gotten a new dark blue 1990 5.0LX Mustang and then deployed...

    Motor Trend Car of The Year

    That just goes to show if you can get your car out early and push it hard with publicity, you stand a good chance of winning. While the Hemi powered 300 may be a powerful, well-built, and roomy car, I still can’t get by the “Checker Cab” look. It’s amazing how the squared off chiseled look is...

    Pennies pay off when Ohio collector cashes in

    I do the same thing with quarters. I have a giant glass pickel jar that I drop quarters in. When it's full, I cash it in and it's our "cruise money". The jar holds about $2,000 worth of quarters. So far we've taken two cruises in the last five years. It has taken 2 to 3 years to fill it up...
