That Final Drive
I have been asked by our good friend from that state big enough to be its own country to share her latest news with the group.
After an over 3 year deterioration of health “Justwondering”‘s husband, and best friend finally had his body succumb to the many battles of health that he had been facing this morning at 10:45 AM Texas time.
Her dream was always to complete the restoration on her families 87 New Yorker so that her husband would…
Driving Off Into The Sunset
Greetings To The FMJ World!
For those of us still around, and who can remember back far enough, I put Darth Car on the market in the Fall of 18, when I was no longer able to drive. I had my share of lookers, but I am happy to report he has left for …
The Doctor Is Out

Where Is That Y When Pipe When You Want It?

-E-Bay
Some may say they have it, until…
