took a break from playing with saws today, took the hotrod oldsmobile out for a little bit,
i forget how much fun that thing is to drive :)

Cobey what year and model Oldsmobile? I sold my 67 442 this year. Didn't drive it anymore and garage space was more important. Stopped driving it when gas hit $5. My brother still has 5 or 6 Olds muscle cars (67-69)
 
Ken Block's Gymkhana 7 Original With 1965 Ford Mu…: . Just wow!

I watched that video before. Is it possible to hit puberty twice? Like Clint said "A man's got to know his limitations" and those were vastly beyond mine. I'd settle for a bit of shine, a bit of rumble and a good power-slide now and again...

Dad would like a '68 or '69 Cutlass, preferably a 442, a '70-'72 Chevelle or a '70-72 or a 70-'72 Monte Carlo but his absolute dream is a '72 GTO Judge in the red/orange color with the external hood tach. I would be tickled with any of those, but my big three (GM anyway) would be a '69-70 Nova, a '70 Chevelle (w/a '72 rear end, heresy maybe but it's more balanced to me) or a '66 LeMans as I'll likely not be able to afford an actual Goat any decade soon... I've had a '68 and a '72 Chevelle, but both were bastardized from the factory as 4-doors (thus in my price-range)... LOL
 
Being mechanically inclined myself, my brother always wondered why I never had a hot rod of some kind. I tried building one several times, but raising kids on a church mouse budget, it never happened. Finally decided the only way I was ever going to have one was to buy or trade for one. Ran across and traded for Bumble Bee. 89 Ford Bronco 2. Six inch overall lift with a 93 5.0 in it and a C-4 automatic. Need to get tires for it but is drive able now.
 
Another of my favorites! Hot Rod Diesels ringing in the new year:

"Six in a row - built to tow" and for good reason. I don't have a Cummins powerplant yet, but after some exhaust work and other items to make them more efficient and less restricted (no boy racer crap) both my 7.3psd and Dad's bullet-proofed 6.0psd both sound pretty good when you let them breath and blow the cob webs out... They're normally driven pretty sedately as parts aren't cheap and self-inflicted stupidity costs more, but sometimes you have to blow the carbon out...
 
Those are some pretty wild videos Mike. [emoji106]
I like this one of Robbie Maddison taking on a bobsled track and ski jump on his bike. Talk about air time [emoji54]

Dirtbike vs. Bobsled track:

Sent from my SM-N910V

That makes me want another dirt bike (which will happen eventually). Unfortunately, that also scares me as I could see (with an extended training session, provided proper instruction, and time to knock the rust off) trying something as monumentally stupid and fun like that.
 
Good evening gentlemen here's my wife's latest creation on her Husqvarna sewing machine for my friend Alex's son William!

mine is a 87 G body (engine test car :) ) set up as drag car but never put a cage in it...
made many passes, some faster that the lack of safety gear will allow

it hasnt had mufflers since the late 90's I could make a buck on it but ill keep it :)
