    NWS Pics that make you :lol: every time you see them NWS

    Loved watching JQ growing up. Each character was their own kind of badass. And the 16 yr old actor doing JQ’s voiceover drove himself to the studio for work.

    Good stuff for sure. But check out Alex Hollings' vid about it, and other laser weapons:

    NWS Pics that make you :lol: every time you see them NWS

    I rigged up a parachute to the back of mine, that I sat on, rode as fast as I could and let it fly out behind me. Had my mom take a picture. Made me feel like Don Garlits.

    The ‘70s were the worst. It was painful to live through all those abominations.

    Military Pics....Let's See Them

    He told me stories about it when I was a little boy, but I didn't really understand the importance of Belleau Wood until I got all his stuff in 2012 when my cousin sent it to me. (Campaign medal, purple heart, photos, letters with relatives and the Corps, etc.). Then I started researching, read...

    Ugly car corral

    My old man actually bought one of these new .. except with wide whitewalls. 1977 Cadillac Sedan deVille in Sovereign Gold Metallic. He referred to it as “Americanis Vulgaris” … was f’ng embarrassing to ride in

    This Gorgeous 1974 Pontiac Super-Duty 455 Trans Am Just Sold For $173,600!

    Not sure what to make of your post. It reads like you were replying to someone else’s, not the one you quoted (mine … #20). I had just posted a pic of my college roommate’s ‘70 1/2 T/A. I said nothing about engine or performance. (As it happens, he had blown the original 400 but lucked out with...

    Killers of the Flower Moon — Official Trailer

    Heard a radio interview with the author a few years ago and bought the book. I like MS films, though I’m not a huge fan. But for this story he’s perfect. Biggest mass murder in US history; and FBI cut its teeth in part on this case. Nothing soft anywhere in the whole affair.

    The "Black Ghost" scam

    FWIW, my college roommate grew up on Woodward (and Telegraph, and I-96) in the early- to mid-70s. (His father was a Ford exec.) He does not remember this car or this story. And while he's sure the Qualls aren't making it up - the car, the light-to-light victories - it just wasn't as big of a...

    The "Black Ghost" scam

    Stock muscle cars were running low 14s to mid- high- 13s. U.M.: Ask your brother if he knew Steve Lisk (had a 1970 Hemi Challenger, IIRC, that went 9.7x through the mufflers w.o. the juice). Or if he ever went in George DeLoren’s race engine shop. Yeah, Dirks9901’s post above pretty much...

    The "Black Ghost" scam

    I think maybe people are talking past each other. Like I said, I don’t know if the dad or son is quoted in the video or, if they are, what they said - true or false. But despite the title of the article I linked, or the author’s puffery, neither the father nor the son were quoted in the article...

    The "Black Ghost" scam

    I don’t know what the supposedly fraudulent claim about the car that is now being made (I haven’t watched but the first few minutes of the video), but the son has never misrepresented the car, to my knowledge. A couple of years ago he told Hagerty’s that his dad ticked all the boxes on the order...

    Cheating in NASCAR

    NASA gets the best engineers who don’t make it into F1. And, as Steve Jobs once said, “Good engineers steal ideas, great engineers steal ideas shamelessly.” Remember the whole Ferrari stealing McLaren data theft at a Woking copy shop (IIR details correctly) that spilled into a nasty court...
