    Yeah, those were just cars you *beat* on, the 340 sure could rev! My late pal had an orange AAR when we were young and immortal..he ran out of immortality kinda young over the "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes" approach to life

    Yep, sure was a nice car. Carbs were fun trying to keep tuned(being a 6 pack with Holleys) they were always acting up but that was then, man if we had fuel injection on production cars back then--well that would be another story!! Every Saturday night we would take our cars to the "circuit" downtown and do what kids did back then. Then you get married and move on

    I`ve always known I was a TERRIBLE small business owner, but it never fully materialized until I tried to do business with other small business owners. :facepalm

    WINTER SUCKS!

    We have 4 foot banks of snow along side our driveway as of today, April 8th!

    Best part, our temperature is 2 degrees at 6:30 am.

    The warmest forecasted high temperature is 51 degrees in the next 8 days.

    This winter (it isn’t spring here) has been brutal!

    Oh I`m right there with you. Last weekend was great, but Monday morning was terrible. When I left the house around 4:30am there was a good 3"-4" on the roads, unplowed. Was kind of sketchy going up the mountain in a 2wd truck. I`m ready for this cold to be over!

    It`ll be one of those years where we go from winter to 80 degrees in a week, and stay there for summer.

    San Antonio, Texas has 20 degree swings all the time, all year long almost...

    Never been in a place like that where you have to go outside every day to figure out what to wear that day only...

    Hope your winter finally goes away for good !

    Sigh. Still waiting for it here in my area too. When I got back to my car in the long term airport lot last night, I had to brush the snow off. Forecasts show highs in the 70`s this week, but it will be back in the mid-30`s with lows in the 20`s by the weekend.

    Not only do I want to start washing and detailing my cars again, but I REALLY want to put my summer tires/wheels back on!

    I`ve noticed stuff like this on several Google searches linking back to Ebay listings. Normal products like running shoes running hundreds of dollars more than normal retail. Is this a flaw in Ebay`s software or are there people out there who really think someone would pay $5K for a wheel brush that normally lists for $30?
