My favorite was a 77 CJ5 with a 304 and a little extra performance thrown in. I smoked a buddy`s "hot" Boss 302 Mustang in a drag race. I sold it (relunctantly) when they passed a law requiring all emissions junk to be on the engine. I had thrown it away. Sold it to someone registering in a...
I Jeeped from 1972 til I got over buying axles, clutches, brakes, etc. I started going around mudholes and boulders after 25 years of what was ,at that time, "fun". I have owned many 4WDs, Jeeps, trucks. Some of the rigs I don`t really like these days, I don`t wanta criticize, as folks have a...
I`m a boomer with a Wrangler. Lifted. 33s. Hardtop. No ducks. I know which way my cap goes. I don`t wear sun glasses. I ain`t cool, whatever that means. Just hunt and fish. Don`t include me in the duckies club. Thanks.
Hey, I had a meet and greet with Hopalong Cassidy and his hoss. Just me, Mom, Hoppy, and the hoss. Mom worked for the Lexington, NC Chamber of Commerce, and got Hoppy to ride in the Christmas parade. She came home , got me, and got us together before the parade. Now that`s old.
Those Europeans probably , for the most part, aren`t old enough to remember WWII. Imagine 100 or more B-17s, B-24s starting engines before a mission. Each bird had four radial engines. That`s 400 or more engines. Several bases would start engines at the same time. Now THAT`S pollution. A radial...
"Grown-ups" didn`t like my 54 Ford with the red rims and red grill. Or my 56 Ford with cheater slicks on the rear and drive shafts used for tail pipes. Or my 55 Pontiac with straight pipes.
I was Air Force. Some of the best meals I ate were in Army 5th Special Forces A-Camps. We hauled those boys steak and pork chops on a regular basis. They would often leave us cases of beer on the Caribou. We would also sneak them some wkiskey in a pallet of ammo or food. They were allowed beer...
This actually happened in Wyoming, where I used to hunt. Back in the 90s. Some guys from Chicago shot an outfitters mule, with shoes on it, took it to a processor, who called a game warden. If I was the judge in the case, I woulda jailed them and made them stay until they ate it all.
First time you were late to show, the red flags started going up. I would have sold it. I`m more lenient on here, though. You can check a feller`s past out a little.
I`ve bought a lot of stuff at Cabelas. I liked it better before Bass Pro bought them out. They usually had good ammo prices on 9mm and .223 when it was available. My biggest rant on them was the fact that I could buy a truck at Carmax and drive it out faster than I can buy a gun at Cabelas and...
"Mechanic`s Special" .What is special about something you need to work on. If it`s so special, work on it and keep it yourself. "Hunter`s Dream", Something old and beat. Causes nightmares.
