The last picture is suspension parts. I think it’s funny when people are selling stock rear stabilizer bars, or the Firebird front stabilizer bars. I went to the junkyard a lot when I was younger. I took all of them! Laughing my butt off!
Wow! Junkyard stories… The junkyard we went to when we were kids, I mean young 20s, was definitely racist. My buddy and I would bring a wheelbarrow in there and fill it with all kinds of parts.. They would charge us 10 bucks. The Haitians next to us buying some junk ass parts, they squealed and squealed. Not right but is the truth.
Same junkyard…. My wife and I had only been married for four months and the Penguins came to visit us for Christmas. Dang, this story has gone on for more than 40 something years! Anyway I had a 68 four speed GTO, and I blew the pinion gears out of it. Before the Penguins had gotten there, my buddy and I went to the junkyard and scoped out a good rear end. We brought it really really close to the fence. New Year’s Day we drove his dads four-wheel-drive truck, jumped the fence from the bed of the truck, the two of us threw the rear end over the fence, We put the old rear end back over the fence because it is a scrap yard, and we brought it home on New Year’s Day. My new father-in-law couldn’t believe that the junkyard was open on New Year’s Day. Oh heck yes they were!
Dang, good stories… In May of that 1st year of marriage, I was working my way through school as a maintenance guy at Palm Beach Junior College. My buddy and I had to clean up the mess after the graduation that May. We had a big flatbed truck that I drove without a license, they never asked for one, and had to get rid of all the flowers that were on the stage. We were supposed to dump them in the dumpster. We showed up at my duplex about 1230 at night. My wife was sound asleep. We filled the living room up with flowers! I mean lots and lots of flowers! When my wife woke up she said, “ You didn’t rob the graveyard did you?“ More laughing my butt off. Nope dear, they were free!
Hey Steve down south, are you coming up for the Buick get together? Bringing your 200 or 300,000 mile GN? Always good to see you buddy!
Well, gsfred does owe me some parts. No wait -- lemme rephrase that: Well, I do owe gsfred a bunch of cash. So yeah, I'll be there.
In New Orleans?! Must be some f@cking good pralines if they can succeed with rules like that… Patrick https://www.thekitchn.com/the-drive-thru-daiquiri-a-weird-yet-wonderful-new-orleans-tradition-241670 This is what I’m used to seeing there—-
Dang Patrick, I’m going to drive through New Orleans on my way up to Bowling Green just to get a daiquiri. You all can be sure that my straw is going to be in the cup soon as I pull out of the parking lot though!
I looked up that sign. Evidently by "Penguins" they mean idiots with their pants slung way down low. I hope your Penguins aren't also that type of Penguin.
Used to be the two inch straw paper on the end of the straw was enough to not be an open container. Patrick
Dang, this is going to sound terrible. My friends and I still drive everywhere with an open container just like it was the old days. I know, I know, if we get caught it will be hell on the insurance end.
In SC, it was legal to drive around drinking beer or wine in your car as long as you weren’t intoxicated up until the early 80’s.
I just read that Florida enacted the open container law in 1988. I believe we were one of the last states to enact that law. My DA brother-in-law came down around 1985. It was already illegal to drink and drive, or possess an open container in Ohio. He thought it was so cool that we could drive around and drink. One night we were in my convertible and he’s holding his beer up to a cop. I told him he was an idiot. We don’t advertise it DA! Something about her side of the family…
Living in Oregon my 50 year life I was a bit sheltered from real world. I was driving to Colorado and stopped in Wyoming in 2005 and was absolutely stunned by drive through liquor stores.. what the hell! Do you want a glass of ice too? Still laughing.
Actually, Georgia was 1991. I remember Athens, Ga passed an open container law in about ‘90, so it was legal in your car but not in the parking lot to or from the bar. Then the city law got put on hold during a challenge while the state vehicle law passed, so for part of a year it was the reverse; legal outside the car but not in. They sorted it out after that; illegal in public and your car. Patrick
