Gas went down 11cents here in Tulsa. I guess the hint of the temporary tax halt of 18cents made prices lower. I hear its only for 3months though.

Thought of the day:
Set your AC low to not over power or strain the electric grid.
Trade your earth killing gas guzzler for an electric car.

HA HA , so which is it.

Screw electric cars .

Being old I have great love for older Buicks, older than the one shown .

Unless it's rusty I'd slap a trsnny in it and keep driving .

At one point my son had a 1967 Buick GS with the two speed slushbox tranny and switch pitch torque converter ~ those used to tear up the local drag tracks in the 1960's .

I'm and old fart and an old car guy myself and would rather have points and carbs, than electronics and fuel injection. However, in my opinion, I think the next big thing will be electric conversion kits to put in old classic cars. As the price, efficiency, weight and size of batteries keep coming down, and motors and electronics become more modular, and I believe you'll just be able to pick and choose a kit based on your requirements. Just like you can buy various kits to electrify your bicycle today. I'm already seeing salvaged Tesla running gear showing up in old Camaros and Cadillacs.

I have no beef with carbys .

I do prefer breakerless ignitions they're available for almost everything and no need for a separate box that might fail either .

Push rods are fine, once you've tried a push rod Honda or the same engine with OHC it's hard to like push rod Motos .

My old BMW has push rods as do my Urals, they're fine .

237 is a pretty good run for a GM car, especially of that era. What's a rebuilt transmission, 2500? That doesn't make sense to put that in a $500, well due to inflation, an $800 car. ;)

LOL. I remembered you. Well the bitch expired. Hit 237K. Shelled its tranny going from 1st to 2nd. Still stuck in 1st. BTW, no FN REVERSE!!!!!
I like how things work out for the good of all...I guess. Ran into a guy that has the exact same model AND color for his daughter to be 17ys. I was actually happy that it would be used for parts. I dreaded the long ......slow....drive to the salvage. The ONLY thing wrong with that car IS the tranny. Since it had near new tires, I swapped them with some Gran Prix wheels( that needed tires) and put them on that car. I stepped back and ......laughed my ass off!!!! This old car looks like Grand Latino SHAGGON WAGGON.LOLOLOLOLView attachment 75392View attachment 75393

Nice move Joe. Geezus H can you believe this idiot? What a disgrace. Takes oil from our reserve, meant for our military in time of need, and sells it to our f***** enemy! Another first for this clown. Our reserve is down to it's lowest level since the 80's. Thanks to Trump it was replenished at a time when oil was cheap. If you voted for this guy and still support him, I'd love to hear why.

Filled up my F250 a bit ago in preparation for a camping trip next weekend. Gonna catch some fish and do some trail work/ exploring on my moorsickle. 🐟 :monkey:

Damn, the last time I filled up this truck gas was $4. Seems like a bargain now. Didn't then! ☢️

Any of you ladies got the stones to ride stuff like this? I rode it about a month ago on our last trip. The guys I rode with were waaaay outta my league. I hung on and made the entire ride, tho. (about 40-50 miles) This trail isn't particularly too tough, but by the time we got to the switchbacks with the steep drop off on one side, I was already gassed from trying to keep up. LOL

Not my vid.

Huh, I searched cnn.com and got 0 results. Must be a lie then, huh?

Seriously I cannot believe the lying, the grifting, and the outright corruption going on right in front of our eyes. But, yet it goes on and on. But, but, but...JANUARY 6TH!!!!!

" Any of you ladies got the stones to ride stuff like this?" Oh, HELL NO ! :eek: .

I can ride mild trails but that's fantastic / too scary .

I notice you're still bloviating about B.S. but the most dishonest and grifting Unites States President OF ALL TIME gets a pass, right ? .

Keep on keeping on little man .

At least I *think* you actually ride now, that's pretty impressive trailing to me .

So, I post up a vid from someone that I never met and that makes you believe that I actually ride? Wow. All the pics of my bikes in various locations, driveway, garage, back of the truck, out in the woods didn't make you believe it? I'm starting to understand......

Again, what BS did I post up? You seem to have selective outrage. It's going around these days.

And, yes, the crookedest, most corrupt, lying president since Obama is getting a pass. Biden is the most corrupt prez since Obama. Obiden/Bama was the most corrupt since Bush/Cheney. Biden has been in DC for almost 50 years and is worth 12 million. His sister and his brother are worth millions. His crackhead kid, well he could be worth millions, but he has a hooker and cocaine problem. Did they all get rich from hard work and smart investing?

Nate, you think it was a good move to take 5 million barrels of oil out of the strategic oil reserve and sell it overseas? It happened Nate. I'm pretty sure that your favorite t.v " news" channels didn't spend 2 seconds reporting on it. Not the 1 million barrels that went to China for sure. My wife grandmother is glued to the t.v every day. She gets zero news anywhere else. She sounds alot like you Nate. If it doesn't come out of the t.v, then, it didn't happen. Pretty sad the propaganda we see these days. If we were in 30's Germany, Nate, you would be on Hitler's side.

I don't give a damn what anybody's political affiliation is. But if the best you can do as an American is to tell us who to blame for our problems, then you're the worst kind of American. You fuel hate and violence. Did you forget that you're living in the UNITED States, not the "screw you if you don't see things my way" States. I'm out, I'm gonna put $5 gas in my li'l Honda and go for a 100 mile ride and enjoy the freedom we take for granted.
