Re: My Facetruck thread.
That confirms my suspicion. You have those hooks under lock and key guarded by a big dog, don't you?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I don't feel so bad after seeing that....I only have one pair of extreme bend hooks.

Tow hooks. I was an original tow hook fool. Had a running listing in Pickups & Panels In Print for K/20 hubcaps and tow hooks back into the '80s. But I'm not greedy or stupid, so that puts me out of the race. I would only pay stupid money for hooks if a truck was missing them, has them on the SPID, and was restoring to pure original. Same with any part that is over priced. Where I'm coming from is where those are the only reasons to pay stupid money. I bought my first K/20 for $2k. I guess it would be worth $3k now since it was a numbers matching tow hook truck. How about a pair of doors for $1,200? Don't worry, those guys are only here for the parts board. Never waste time on this social BS.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I didn't go the last couple of years. The whole thing is just kind of going over the top. When I first started going you could actually Cruise in your hot rod. Now you park and let the civilians cruise to look at the cars.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Hmmm.... I wonder why. Could be the knuckleheads getting worse. That's what is happening to the Ocean City, MD spring and fall cruises. In our Regions forum there is a copy of a ticket issued for doing 75 mph while using hand held phone in a 30 mph zone. It's a resort town with pedestrians and bicycles, not an open hiway. A good hot rodder knows to stay cool/cruise easy in town. We all know the cops just need an excuse and the knuckleheads give them plenty. It messes things up for the rest of us.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Shoot. Our city drew up an ordinance forbidding cruising on the main street of town. Has been for 20 years or so.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Pretty much for a good reason. I used to cruise Van Nuys Blvd in the '70s, and drag racing right there on that street is really dangerous. Most people knew to stay out of the way, but there is always some squirrel who's going to make sure he doesn't lose the race, up to and including running red lights. We took that stuff off to Raymer Street by the railroad tracks behind the GMAD plant, or over to Chandler Street where there were even fewer lights. You'd see some crazy speeds out there. I'm not going to rat myself out about speeds I've done there, though. I will say that it would have been a big ticket if caught on the freeway, when the speed limit was still 65 MPH. Based on the crazy crap I pulled in my youth, I watched my sons like a hawk.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
There's no way my dad was anything like a wild child tearing up the streets and all but he saw enough and kept a tight rein on me so I was less likely to get into trouble. It worked. I'm still here.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I know what you're saying, Duke. It's the 1% that give the lawmen the go ahead from the powers that be (or their own egos) to put the clamps on the fun. In OC, MD fun has always been against the law. It's a resort town and they make beaucoup bucks off of out of towners as soon as they get frisky. Then they come up with the cruise weekends before Memorial day and after labor day, traditional beginning and end of season to bring in more money. Then when people do what they do at such events they crack down. It may be people complaining... people who don't have enough sense to not go those weekends if they don't like loud cars and smokin' rubber. Now they have a special event (lower) speed limit throughout the town and if they can hear your exhaust from 50' they can give a ticket. I can hear most any car idling from 50'. I was surprised they ever allowed the event to happen. Well, now it seems they don't really want it. Maybe they need to start a quilt convention

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Quilts are good. Random grab for sake of comparison. Although they too can get right pesky with them needles, bits of cloth, thread and all. Never know what they might come up with for conversation. Solo quilting? Forget about it. They need to tie empty beer cans to their wrists so you know they're even there!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I have been reading back on this thread a bit. Pretty entertaining. Just one observation.. general discussion is a forum made for off topic general posts, like life, jokes etc? So isnt a facebookesk post in a general forum essentially a general discussion thread in a general discussion forum, instead of just posting daily?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
My mother made quilts. She has purged a bunch of them of them over the years when they moved and had auctions but she still has them stuffed in every place possible.
She has given one to every kid and grandkid and great grandkid. It's a little sad to see the younger ones abuse the quilts. I suspect one day they will wish they had taken better care of the quilts grannie made. My mother is doing well for a 91 year old that had a heart attack. The depression is causing her more problem than anything.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
We had a house full at my Mom's yesterday for an "ice cream social" as she and dad like to call it. A barbeque lunch and 3 gallons of home made ice cream. We don't hand crank them anymore but it is still as good as ever.
