Powerball lottery is up to its biggest jackpot ever! 3 tanks of gas and 4 cans of baby formula.

i really don’t mind it though

I don't miss the days of gas guzzling, undependable, noisy and stinky exhaust cars that don't last and require constant tinkering and repairs to keep working. I like going to the Thursday car meet ups to check out the cars I desired as a teenager, but I don't want to own one.

I do mike. I love the old gas guzzler, tire smoking, loud, lead fume spewing cars. And I know your eyes will roll and think what a jerk. Thing is cars today have no soul, everyone is just like the next and unless you look at the moniker, you cant tell them apart. Back inthe day you cold tell a Ford from a Chevy from a MOPAR, 100 yards away, or just by the sound of the engine, now its just a buzz as they go by. Yes I would love to have another big block MOPAR, or GTO, or 428 side oiler, or a 67 XKE in the garage that I had to tune before I went out for a ride. But its the soul of the car, the quest for fun and the remembrance of our youth.

Right on Skeets. I'm 80 years old and I just bought a '77 Chrysler Cordoba. I love tinkering with it. It takes me back to the good old days. I've driven Mopars since 1970 when I bought a new Roadrunner.

I don't think you are a jerk Skeets, it's whatever floats your boat! I like the old cars, I'd just rather be out on my FJR riding the twisties instead of standing around pumping gas and making repairs!

I hear you I use to love my Hayabusa too and after I scared the snot out of my self with it,, front wheel came up after shifting into 6th gear, I traded it in for the geezer glide, low slow and not to bad,, but when they rip half your guts out and replace joints, the fun becomes a moot point. Enjoy it while you can my friend,,, And remember something a very old rider ( may he rest in peace) use to say,,,, Ride as if you were invisible

Skeets and Mikester - certainly understand both views. Skeets and I have talked about soul.

Helped move these a few weeks ago. True to form, not re-badged.

The 500/428 was just puking gas from the carburetor. We pushed it out of the building, and had a fire extinguisher handy…..

A colleague found front bolts on the carb/bowl were loose. All good after snugging up. Cars are worth more than I am….

That said, my 2005 FXDI Harley was damned near maintenance free, and didn’t require any special understanding to ride. First experience with EFI on a motorcycle. Had to re-learn about riding when 30 degrees, and not allowing enough warm up time.

Why couldn’t I have been alive back then

Well I was and I can tell ya it was great well what I can remember. I'm a little disappointed though, they keep warning us about flash backs but at almost 66 still nothing...actually very disappointed.
