When Robert was posting all those pages and links I was trying to read all of them as fast as I could. I screenshot a lot of stuff from the PN$A's website he directed us to and lost them. I found them on my computer along with all my notes. I'm going to take a few minutes to explain some of...
My next phase was a VW phase. I liked the french car pretty well and decided to check out the German.
Then a bought a truck to move. I used a V6 f150 stick shift to pull a 24 ft trailer with all the belongings from a two bedroom house AND the VW Golf from Rapid City to Tennessee to go to...
In 2005 we went back to bikes. When Chris was 18 we helped him get a Ninja 250 to get started. He was an ironworker apprentice at that time while working part time for us.
He started doing wheelies on it in a couple of months and crashed it a few times. I bought one at the same time to ride...
I was never able to keep anything nice for any period of time.

Just had a beater car fetish for a while. 1968 Valiant bought for $25. Had the...
Lat 80's and I'm going through another phase. Trying to move on from the dorkmobiles.
1984 Peugeot 505 Turbo Diesel. My first diesel. I learned from this car that diesel tanks can grow algae in the tank and a $450 French fuel filter can be replaced with a $2 plastic one from autozone. This...
There's no oil or dirt in storm runoff Scott, there is nothing in that but pure heavenly rain. The Lord knows the rules in some places say "nothing down the dr@in but rain" and he certainly wouldn't break the law. lol.
Most powerwashing trucks, even the larger ones, will use less than 3000...
The dorkness continued throughout the 80's and early 90's
1987 Ford Escort bought new, automatic seatbelts! Yuck:

If anyone thought there was no way to be more lame than a Fiero, once I got married it got worse.
1986 V6 Mustang. Except mine was green with a big gold band down the side. The Lord was merciful to me and spared me the...
1985 Pontiac Fiero. Larry?
This was my first new car deal. They saw me coming a mile away. Paid $13500 in a small car dealership in Tennessee. I immediately drove it to San Francisco where the same car was selling for $8888. Not only was I in a dork phase, I was in the idiot phase.
I...
Early 70's cars were great! Jimmy Carter ushered in the abominations America put out in the late 70's.
I had a teacher at school run into my B210 with a 1971 New Yorker and crumpled it like a tin can. Instead of reporting it to his insurance he gave me this speed demon 1981 Dodge Omni:
I...
Larry, if you had one of these I'm going to demand a DNA test. We are brothers.
My senior year I got in trouble and my parents took my Grand Prix away for a while. I went out and financed this beast. $170 a month for a year. :(
The seats laid all the way down on this thing. This car was...
Larry, this is starting to get eerie.
This is what I had in college:
That thing was FAST. I could take mustangs stoplight to stoplight all day with it. But it was front wheel drive and too powerful and I broke the CV axles in it twice!! And it was not put together very well and once you get...
Larry, you have got to be kidding me. 4 on the floor! I didn't even know that was available!
My first car was given to me by an uncle When I was 15, it was a 1971 Monte Carlo with about 3 different shades of green. I never got to drive it. It sat in my yard waiting for me to get my drivers...
