  1. My Sister had to do that for her Challenger, the summer only tires didn't have a second winter left in them, she ended up ordering a set of the BFG's I bought for the 200 last weekend from Sam's Club. Hopefully, they will be in by Saturday.
  2. I don't remember seeing NHRA decals on any of the main cars, although some of the strip cars that have come to play on the streets may have them.
  3. The whole NHRA temper tantrum happened this summer and was pretty sell reported, some people think that the NHRA might be pissed that this show might be bringing in better ratings and sponsors than their televised events. What gets me though, these guy are running on streets that are shut down for the races, with police and EMS present, much like the NHRA did in the begining.
  4. I'm sure it's got a nice, solid, clean VIN that can be salvaged
  5. Kinda wish the snow had missed us, at least until the Jeep had rear brakes again, here's how it sat as of last night.
  6. Yup, lets just hope that the Deuce had seatbelts!
  7. http://www.hotrod.com/news/street-outlaws-justin-big-chief-shearer-and-brian-chucky-davis-crash-during-tv-filming/ Hot Rod, IIRC, Big Chief and MurderNova are friends with Finnegan and Freiberger. BTW, if anybody is interested, the Dominato Dart, Silver Unit 3rd Gen Camaro, and Dung Beetle have all made the switch to EFI w/Haltech equipment in the past 6 months. There are some decent shots of the Camaro and Beetle on Haltech Youtube channel.
  8. A week ago tomorrow night, sounds like the red Mustang from Michigan that has been on the show in the past got loose, crossed the line and caught him in the left rear, destroying both cars and putting both men in the hospital for a couple days. Both cages held up well!
  9. Just drove my 200 in the snow for the first time in the 3 years I've owned it, got home from work without bringing forth the wrath of any of it's electronic nannies!
  10. I think the Reher-Morrison Camaro could be a fantastic basis on Kye Kelly's Shocker, I swear that car looks like an 80's ProStock car.
  11. Here's a good source for The Crow and likely the MurderNova, since they're friends and business partners. http://www.hotrod.com/cars/featured/1507-okc-street-outlaws-justin-shearer-and-his-1972-pontiac-lemans/
  12. Funny thing about those, there were a few people on a site that had information for the Dajiban stuff that thought these vans were mid engined, instead of extremely cab forward. Oh, I did pick up one of these kits the other night and one of the wheels was a short shot, so the parts missing Revell easybuild SRT Challenger kit I got for the steering wheel will be donating at least it's wheels and mirrors to this kit.
  13. I've had that conversation lately with a friend looking for new monster truck stuff as well as a customer looking for monster figure kits........the market on the trucks isn't what it was when he and I were kids, same with the guy looking for the figures vs when he was a kid.
  14. For some reason, the front end screams Dart to me, but it does look better than the Miata!
  15. The abovenis meant to go along with Greg's post.
  16. http://thegarage.jalopnik.com/how-ups-screwed-a-popular-youtube-car-guy-out-of-10-00-1738255686
  17. We got those in yesterday at work, as has been said, it's the old kit that can be built either way, not sure what wheels it has either, got no interest in the kit and don't plan on buying it.
  18. Here's the carnage, apparently it was done by a 50 something y/o woman with her elderly mother in her fairly nice car I'm just happy it wasn't her Challenger, with the doors and quarter panels each being a mile long then in the harder to match Plum Crazy/Purple-licious than the simple, basic black my 200 is painted.
  19. My Sister borrowed my 200 to the grocery store andsomebody's door hit my rear D/S door right at the character line that runs from the headlights to the taillights, then once she got her groceries i her car, she hopped in here car and split!
  20. I wouldn't expect even remotely Shelby-Ford money for anything he did in conjunction with Chrysler, outside of the Viper if it's truly going to be going away. It would be more of a rare piece of Chrysler and Shelby history that needs to be saved.
  21. It's been reissued as Dom's Charger with the Fast and Furious licensing in the last decade or so.
  22. If it's legit, get it and fix it, there's few real Shelby Cars that you'll find for that cheap, then if it's #1, that makes it a piece of Chrysler history too!
  23. We use the lawn mower with the bag attachment, we get plenty of leaves with 3 large trees in the back yard.
  24. Dad wanted a Stihl or Husquavarna (sp?), but those weren't available, so he went with something called Poulson Pro 50cc. We got it done as the sun went down.
  25. Not really, but shouldn't a brand new piece of machinery be able to keep up with a 70+ y/o man and his overweight, slightly gimpy, middle aged kid?! Dad went to get another chain, but we won't be able to finish until Tuesday.
