There was a little blond that would cruise Main St. in Peoria back in early 80's in a red Vet. She was pretty fast on the line, but I had a full chassis Camaro with tall deck 427 on NOS. I bet her a date if I won. She lost and we dated for awhile. Boy was that the good ole days I sure miss that Camaro!

My lovely bride and I spent some time in Kentucky distillery country last weekend. The Old Taylor distillery has been closed for years, but is being restored. I think the architecture is neat.

[Ol Blue K20]

Neat looking place. Where else did ya go?

[davischevy]

We toured Cincinnati, OH Frankfort and Louisville KY and the Kentucky horse farms.

WE visited Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace distilleries but didn't do the tours. It was the week leading up to the Kentucky Derby and the place were so crowded we didn't hang long.

[special-K]

I'm glad they are saving that building. Very neat indeed. Dang that's right, it's triple crown time again!

[Ol Blue K20]

Sounds like a fun trip.

[Dieselwrencher]

That sounded like a fun trip for sure. There is some beautiful country there. I can imagine how packed t was. I would have left asap too.

A city slicker moved in down the road from me and, when he was unsuccessful sprouting chickens, decided to raise pigs. He bought a purebred sow, and now, being smart enough to read a book about how to farm, he read that if you want to have piglets, you need to have the sow visit a boar.

So one day he put the sow in his wheelbarrow and trundled her down the road to a neighbor who had a boar.

The next morning, he opened up the bedroom curtains and looked out at the pig pen, but there were no piglets!

So he put the sow in the wheelbarrow and trundled her back to his neighbor’s farm.

The next morning, again, he opened up the curtains, sure that THIS time there would be piglets, but no, just the sow all by herself in the pen.

So he put the sow in the wheelbarrow again and trundled her off to the neighbor’s farm.

The next morning, the anticipation was killing him, but he didn’t dare look, so he asked his wife to peek out and tell him if there were any piglets.

"Nope", she replied, "but the sow is in the wheelbarrow".

^ good one, city folks

haven't seen any facetruck food pics for a while..

Saturday was Mrs. Bee's birthday, took her and her folks out to one of our favorites, Captain Jack's..

appetizers, cocktails, and dinner wrapped up about five bills but we had a great time, well worth it..

and yes, I cleaned that roast all the way to the bone

[flashed]

That roast needed more cooking time .

Been watching a lot of roadkill and roadkill garage in my down time lately. Seeing those guys get a 1950 gmc running that had been sitting in a jy for 30ish years gets me pretty pumped to get Rhonda running. Also watching them drop a 454 in a long bed c10 and hit some awesome doughnuts helps too.

[davischevy]

To each his own, but I have never understood the donut thing.

Now I like burning rubber in a straight line as well as anybody, and I think my attitude goes back to my grade school days.

A redneck teenager in town had acquired a late fifties Pontiac boat and one day he was circling the school doing right turns and burning the right rear tire. They weren't really donuts, just circles burning that tire. It was so unimpressive I don't like donuts to this day.

I do get a kick out of Roadkill. I can't believe they get paid for what I have paid to do all my life.

It looks like the show just got commercialized though.

[Boog]

I’m with you on that larry. If my dad had caught me doing that, he would have torn my ash up and revoked all driving priviledges.

[GOPAPA]

I could of never got (even 1/4 of a donnut in with my folks car) I used to go to a short racing strip that the guys used to race against each other,, and got maybe 6 inches to a foot of rubber.. and the only reason it got that was it was slick tar pavement.................... It was a 1952 Plymouth 6 banger..

[Boog]

Speaking of burning out. Back in high school a buddy had a 62 ford galaxie that was so worn out it wouldn't turn a tire. We tried to help him out by pouring some motor oil under the tire and it STILL barely turned it.

[Chevyland]

I’ve got quite a few high school burn out stories
Oil, you say
The entrance/exit to our high school was right near the auto shop
And we exited on to the Main Street, Broadway..
Every once in a while
The guys
Thought it was fun to take a several quarts of oil, from the shop
And spread it on Broadway
Usually on a Friday afternoon, when school got out
Yes
It, was Burnout Heaven

Anyone who wanted to participate was welcome
Even, if your car was a gutless pos

[Killer Bee]

somebody say something about gutless burnouts in high school?

[Boog]

This guy puts them to shame.

Whipping Donuts, if you don't like them you should lose your man card. Doing them in a 4 door long bed 4x4 has to be up there in the most fun. Haha

My Uncle used to store his 63 Corvette convertible at my parent's place when I was a kid. My dad did a lot of work on the car over the years. But my Uncle never put enough into the engine apparently. My Dad had a 68 GS400 convertible. Every time Uncle John would come home he'd tell Dad that the Buick had to be worn out enough to not beat his vette. They'd go run them and when they came back Dad would go whip cookies in the pasture. Those were fun times.

[davischevy]

This beats donuts.

Back in the mid-'70s one of my younger brothers and I went down to the store for ice cream for one of our niece's/nephew's birthday parties. We went into the back parking lot, and my brother spun an entire shop's worth of doughnuts in that parking lot. There was smoke boiling out of the trunk so bad that we had to roll the windows down on the way home. We were laughing like hyenas when we got home!

Once I truly became a man I found the whole man card thing is for those still finding their way

I don't care what others do. I just don't tear my stuff up for the pure sake of showing off or trying to impress. I also never hooked my 4wd to another in a parking lot pissing contest. I watch the burnout contest every year at Carlisle Trucks. I've had friends leave a hot black double track out in front of my house. But for me a burnout is how you heat your tires for better traction before pulling up to the tree.

[Chevyland]

So, I’m sure you never owned one of those burn out vehicles ?
And
Your man card has, never been clipped ?

[Killer Bee]

well somebody please punch my burnout card, should have enough for a free one by now

Where might a gentleman acquire such a card if one were so inclined? And what, may I ask, would be the benefits of carrying such a card?
