            Right on, man. I was talking with my brother about the Crates in the spring and he didn't mention/remember a Pea Picker either. I'll tell him about it later tonight I'll mention it though, so thanks to you too!

                  a 1995 larry shaw square tube chassis that i put a stock torino snub on it and and won 13 in a row. Now this was a steel head limited class, but it is hard to win 13 in a row in any class or form of racing.

                    I remember I believe Chris Sontag had a Chevelle that ran pretty good on the streets. Around the mid ninetys?

                    A buddy of mine made a memory one night in Joliet on Houlbolt rd and not in a good way!

                      First "new" car as a married man . . . 1975 Olds Cutlass Salon. Can't even imagine a more dependable, good riding car.

                      First "new" car as a single man . . .1969 Chevrolet Nova Super Sport . . . COPO color and engine.

                      Best pickup . . . a Chevy LUV (Isuzu) . . . one tough little, inexpensive hombre!

                        Best car I've ever owned.

                        I read that as what gave me (and the wife) the best value and dependability for what we put in. When we first got married she had one of those Chevy Novas which was actually a Toyota Corolla with Nova sheet metal. It was little four door with a five speed and it got great mileage and was fun to drive with the manual. I gotta say with all the vehicles we owned through the years that one was a world beater. Other than new tires, oil changes and maybe a new muffler it didn't cost much to operate. We put about 180,000 miles on it and sold it to a kid going to college and he put another gob load of miles on it. We started having kids and just needed bigger. It was a great little ride. Took us to a lot of race tracks too.

                        After we had a family and had to do the minivan thing we wound up owning a few different ones. Best of the lot was a 2003 Honda Odyssey. That was another low cost to operate and very dependable ride which only required maintenance on consumable items. For a minivan it actually had decent performance from a 3.5 and it handled very well.
                        Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.

                          Boy, this site has gone down the cr@pper when the only active thread for the day is 10 years old, brought to the top by a spammer.

                            Interesting read/reread during the "dead" spot. Flo won't put anything of interest on right now . . . at least to me.

                                I would have thought by now that the "KARENS" of 4m would have been out in force several posts ago lobbying for this all to be in the Tailgate section? LOLOLOL
