    Adidas, oh yea, our whole basketball team wore Adidas, not sure if there was anything else available back then. And after the game it was a pair of wide legged Hash jeans with the Star on the pocket or painter jeans. $50 a pair in the day. Man I bet I'd still look hot in a new pair of Hash...

    It has to be Marchall lights on the front of the T as the Lucas are way to flat. ;D Oh and did I mention I like the idea of a t-shirt as long as it is done with quality. So often groups come up with the idea of doing a t-shirt and do a cheapy piece of junk wash it a couple times and it's...

    GT/CS Eleanor (Not my Idea!!!!)

    You want AC or don't want AC? I was always told that AC in a Shelby was similar to AC in a dragster...not. It robbed the HP which was exactly what the Shelby was all about. Did they make a lot of them with AC? I can understand having it now as owning a Shelby now for the most part is about...

    GT/CS on History's Full Throttle

    Isn't that the truth! If a guy ever needed a good raise all he would have to do it drop the TV, Cell Phones, Sattelite Radio, and other small luxuries and get outside and play with the extra money. At least they aren't long term committments so dropping them is only a phone call away if we...

    GT/CS on History's Full Throttle

    You must have got lucky and signed up before they decided to charge. I was looking at Directv and saw the fee and thought that is crazy to charge for. Below is a cut paste from their web site says $4.99 a month for DVR/Tivo subscription? You might check your billing maybe you are paying extra...

    GT/CS on History's Full Throttle

    I have DVR as well and I love it. Better than Tivo as there isn't any monthly charge for it. I understand Tivo has a monthly charge? I know Direct TV charges a monthly fee to have disc recordability so I questioned them as to what exactly the charge was for. Never did get a good answer. How...

    Missing console??

    Another option is to place the item where it goes and mark the holes with some type of marker on the carpet then take a box cutter knife or sharp knife and cut a 1/2 inch by 1/2 cross where you are going to drill and it will be less likely that it will catch the bit. My fly fishing partner in...

    GT Vs GT/CS

    Nice looking car David. I couldn't even begin to tell you what the value of it is, not being the gear head or racing type I couldn't put a value on what you have invested in the engine and drive train. I like the white on black, looks nice. I did notice you are one of those, myself included...

    Missing console??

    Just a side note, drilling through carpet can be an enlightening experience if the bit catches the carpet and starts it twisting. Depending on the weave it can do some really fast unravelling of carpet so be careful. Hook

    I've had a problem or two myself, never with any auto parts. But I figure the savings I've had and the finds I've made make it well worth the risk of an occassional getting the shaft on a deal. The issues I've had could have easily been avoided by heeding the feedback or the history of the...

    What kind of car and what value would be the big question. If it's a really popular classic car I would say as long as your title is descriptive enough for all to find it will carry it's own without a reserve. If it's an off the wall type car that not a lot of people will be looking for it may...

    Me too, I watch all kinds of stuff I probably will never buy. Watching all the classic cars/trucks and dreaming is a blast. I used to have a 1955 F100 with a tilt front end and I chopped the top 5 inches. It was a sweet ride and I sold it to buy my house so I check the old 53-55 effies and...

    Sure is a nice time to live and have classic car interests. Plug in a favorites search and it sends you an email directing you to what ever you are interested in buying for your car. YESTERDAY; go to all the junk yards in hopes that you would find what you need in good enough condition to...
