Once off, they did something few wings have ever had done... repairs inside a cabin!
the window was big enough to fit the wing through, so they removed the window, fired up the stove, strung up some canvas to keep the heat in, and got to work

they crashed a couple planes in the same place at the same time, and the insurance company decided it was worth the expense to get a team in to fix them. Jan, 1937 in the Yukon

that's a Charger, 68 -70, under a car cover, in the front yard, hidden behind the topiary and bushes and border hedge... but I still spotted it on a drive by
They even blocked out street view on Google
the walk tonight had a lot to see
it's been a while since I've seen a 60s Continental on the street
it's a 4 door Galaxie... why? Why the hell not get a 2 door?
it's rare to see a Mopar wagon, especially from the past 25 years
I'm not sure what's under the hood, I don't think I even have a good guess... but the door handles prove it's a cool 2 door from the right era, and that's good enough
and then while out walking around, I found the meth house. Why else are all the windows boarded over, and yet someone's living there, and driving the cars in the driveway
What do you make of that, if not a meth house?
I don't recall seeing a Dodge Stealth in a long time, driving, parked, or at a car show... so finding one on the street today was a surprise, but the horribly ugly rims that were offset to the outside? Oh boy. They suck
Maybe it was the start of the big swings into the new designs that Mopar got into, like the Prowler, Viper, etc. Sadly, they gave up on big risky designs, and went back to boring with the Charger, 200, Avenger, and Dart. The Challenger was a good move, but the 4 door Charger was stupid, it would look much better as a 2 door
sad to see a car stuck in a garage, so long that they pile things on it... sadder to see that it was a sports car. This one looks like a vette
I might be wrong, but this looks like a 70s vette to me, and the rim beauty rings support my theory

Coolest thing I heard of lately, a crossing guard put her thoughts to paper, and made 14k a month from that venture
Christine Tyler Hill turned her morning shift into a feel-good and lucrative venture with a subscription base, launching a mail delivered newsletter in January and quickly scored 2,000 subscribers, with thousands more on the waiting list.
The business now brings in about $14,000 per month.
Christine Tyler Hill, 36, took a job as a school crossing guard in Burlington, Vermont, after years of working as a designer and illustrator. She was looking for a way to feel more connected to her community.
Each weekday starting around 7:30 a.m., she spends 50 minutes managing a crosswalk near a local school. The post exposes her to the same faces and varying weather each morning, giving her a steady stream of small moments and details to write about.
Her venture started in late 2023, when she took the crossing guard job and began writing a monthly “cloud report,” which she posted on social media. The report included snippets of her day — like photos of a handwritten thank-you note from a child and snow falling on a store.

Hill has since decided to monetize her side hustle and start a mail club. In January 2026, she debuted the club to her 33,000 TikTok followers in a seven-second clip, explaining that for $8 a month, she would handwrite and illustrate an eight-page magazine chronicling observations from her job and send it out to subscribers. It only took a few days for Hill to get her first 1,000 subscribers.
I was just reading.... about Edelbrock intakes, and the NHRA, and Mopar - they have the Chrysler part number on them so NHRA would recognize them for "stock" racing classes
The LD4B was the small block intake, the DP4B was the 383 intake, and the CH4B was the 440 intake, and it was sold as a part in the Direct Connection magazine in 1968
this is the first time I've heard of the Rotosphere, since I didn't grow up in big cities, and they are rare to find after the 80s
Approximately 234 were built from 1960-1971. Only about 20 Roto-Spheres are left with maybe 4 being fully operational
They were created and produced by Warren Milks who made approximately 234 of them at his sign shop in Bossier City, LA.
cool photo of some mountain rd showed up as a screen saver the other day... great color juxtaposition
The road through Col Agnel connects Italy's Piedmont region with France, and winds over the Alps is one of the loftiest in Europe at over 9,000 feet
tonight's walk was very full of older interesting cars, and I met a guy who bought a 68 Mustang when he retired, restored it, and keeps in the garage, but goes to a lot of car shows (and he has no one to leave it to, his kids and grand daughters have zero interest in it)
It's been a while since I've seen an Airstream... other neighborhoods have a LOT of RVs, but Mira Mesa doesn't
anyone else remember the 80s B movie, Cherry 2000? Melanie Griffith movie with a pink Mustang. Just another lousy schlock movie when everything else was rented out at Blockbuster, and you might as well have something that's not a crummy horror movie
