Old dog learned something a day ago.

We received a radio display from the exchange dept.   It was a different number and yet still the same unit.   We put it in.   It worked ,  sort of.   It lacked many things the one that was in it had.   Double heat controls,   seat controls,   and more.   I called and told them it had issues.  They said we had issues.  It was the correct unit.  Yes a sub for it.   But still correct.   I went back and forth days on end.   So I called another local dealer and asked them if they ever had the issues.    Hey they did!    It was a program problem!     The units are the same units.   Just the new one did not have all the same info.    Chrysler has a WIFI set up where you can go get all the customer's info and put it into the new unit.   BINGO!    It is working.  

One speed gear box?

Leave it to the Germans....

We have a top level camping park down the street in Swan Bay.



You would be amazed at some of the campers that pull in there.    Just houses on wheels.

Some big car sale cancelled due to rain and snakes.

We  had that here one year.   The swamp out back got really high and the snakes came up to stay dry.  But ours were not dangerous.

Running with  the big boys!

Today's bad word begins with a S....Or a B.

Snow and or a Blizzard.   Take your choice.    Depends on how the wind blows.   How hard.   To where.    Does it make running a shop great?     No it does not.    We  have little to no appointments.   Most cancelled.   The drive in was okay.   The drive home...Who knows?

Remember when your Mom just let you ride?

27 Things '60s Kids Did That Would Horrify Us Now

I remember being around five in the back seat with my cus.    Car caught on fire.   Mom got us out,   left us at the dump sight down the road from our farm,   and ran for help.   Good times.

These 70 cars were boss...




Be ready for one of these to be a money pit.   They are expensive to bring back. 

Pink car of the future they never made.



Not sure who thought it up or took it to a show.   It is dam cool.   Love that rear super fin!

Tonka Truck...for real.




http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/this-ford-f-150-tonka-edition-is-a-real-life-bro-dozer/ar-BB10dg5x?ocid=ientp


I think it is really a cool truck.   Bet big dollars.    But cool.

That Vette reminds me of that old movie MOVING.



Remember when the crazy dude brought the car to the drive and said....?   I can't even think what he said.    But he thought he did a  great job.

When you have to as the local DEC....Hey what is this?



I would question it.   We  had some near here before.   On the golf courses.   DEC  said they don't live here.   I bet they said it to this person too.

Yes they screwed me good.



That was what he said as he found out he was facing three years in prison.   While others let people out of prison who were in for selling drugs to kids.   Yup.

Someone in the waiting area smelled like Pan Cakes!

I know that is weird .    Yet they did.    I got so darn hungry.

I remember as a kid dreaming about getting the old cars back on the road.

I wanted to buy an old truck with a Vette engine in it.    Vette rear axle too.   My Dad said to wait.   I should have bought it anyway.     Few weeks later it sold.    I was really mad when I saw it driving fast down the road.    It was a cool ride that just needed some love.

This is what my childhood farm looked like.

Just add the field full of old cars.

Remember when a radio worked for ever in your car or truck?

Image result for junk yard dash boards

Maybe not this old?    But I grew up around a junk yard full of cars and trucks.   You felt bored.   You found a car that still had a battery in it,    hooked it up,   and played the radio.   It almost always played.   Heck a car could sit for years and the radio still worked.   Today's cars and trucks just seem to lack the same great assurance.    Radios stop playing the first year you won them.    Or have some issues.    I remember the cheap 80's radios out of Kmart being tougher than today's ...well junk.

Enjoy your extended trip.



I would never ever go on a ship for anyplace.... Screw That!   Go take a tour of a Chrysler Plant.

Now he claims he made the country Great Again.



He may have kept us afloat  when he was in.   I will give him that.    Not much more.   Yes I will give him credit for saving the car industry.   He did it and I still like him for it.

New Royal splits...

Their family is not so tight anymore.     Her grandson has not stopped here yet.    Lives just a few miles away.   

When your own party hates you...they send in the clown.



She wants Berny's head!    On a spike.   She has no chance herself and just wants to ruin it for the old dog.   Sad party full of hate and anger.    The economy is very good and they just want more fighting.    Find a way to tell us that you will keep the car sales going if elected.  

Dude got hurt bad ..but it looks like he lives.

Why did every teen guy in the 70's want a van?

15 Woodstock 1969 Vintage Photos You Never Saw

God I am still not to sure...O.

Old school leather.




It just looked so nice.    Felt nice.   Was nice.   

The inside of the new cars....Many parts.

The Future Of IT Is Here And It's Adaptive Infrastructure

It's an old 70's Japanese idea to make the car light yet still strong.    But in a crash some person like me has to look up several parts to fix something as easy as a bumper.   It can add up too.

I have been seeing some Rams coming in with this.

Ram Heavy-Duty Front LED Bumper (10-18 2500/3500)

I really hate being followed by someone with super bright lights.   But it looks cool.

No, I saw one once from a dump.



The story had a line that we had most like never seen one.

I saw one in the 70's a guy found in a dump all in a box in pieces.    He fixed it and sold it for big cash at the time.
