One of the Best Movies made.

What is it ???

You must be Dazed & Confused.. :grin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrtQ5uIOcKY

Dazed and Confused.. 1993

The only Dazed and Confused I'm familiar with is from 1969... Led Zeppelin.

You "youngsters" may not have been around yet...:laugh:

Same here Mitch...

PONTIAC signs being assembled and a finished one mounted on a brick building.

I always loved this style sign.

The era of neon lights on buildings and billboards was some of the best time in my life span. All this led and digital/computer controlled stuff can be neat, but it doesn't have the style and grace of yesteryear.

Filmed right here in Austin, TX. A friend supplied many of the cars in the movie, he gets a nod in the credits for all the damage they did to his cars.

Every 2025 Corvette will have a silhouette of Tadge Juechter on the glass, honoring his 47 year career with GM(41 of which were with Corvette).

I thought it was sleepy Joe Biden!

^^^ so telling when you know who they are. Great stuff!

ACDC outside the Bel-Air Motel in Springfield,Illinois during 1979.

One of my favorite bands of all time cool to see this picture and Bon scott still alive.

Not an optical illusion,but Witchcraft. :smile:

Not witchcraft. Physics.

.....and way too much time on the proverbial hands.

Just another sign of what's wrong with our education system.

While I am on a roll. Sorry if this one has already posted.

After he asked him what engine his car had...:wink:

Perzactly; then he wanted to know if it had power steering.

Making fun of auto parts store clerks is "easy picking" and I've experienced similar conversations. With that said, I'm working on preserving a 1946 Indian Chief motorcycle, all original bike. I researched the type of modern spark plug needed to replace the ones that were in it and found I needed a Champion J6 plug. I went to the local auto parts store and gave them the plug number - "don't have any of those". "What kind of car do you have?" My response, oh, this one won't be in your system". His response, "try me". So I gave it to him and sure enough, it was in their system and they had another plug number that I had found on the net - success!

On the subject of that Indian, I haven't seen a thread of your progress on it and don't even think we don't want to see it...:ooo:

There are some good counter people at local stores. As long as they can look it up in the "system", some people are still very good. I have been getting common parts and accessory type parts from my local O'Rielly more the past year instead of just going to amazon. I do the same as you and look up what I am after myself first and many times just have the order brought into the store online. Their prices are just as good and I can usually have parts that they don't stock in 2 days. Any critical parts come from NAPA and only the best quality. They carry some "inexpensive" lines of parts that are priced to compete with the low grade, low priced parts out there, but I keep my vehicles long term and don't care to keep buying the same cheap part repeatedly.

1915 photo of a rare overhead cam Cyclone racer and my grandfather’s Cyclone powered sled from the same time period. One of the known remaining 13 Cyclones coming up at Mecum Las Vegas Feb 1, 2025

More Cyclone. Design way ahead of its time.

I found a cam for NAPA68:dunno:

I had to remember where I saw the posts but here is the bike Mecum will have at Vegas. It was on display in Kissimmee

The man knew how to throw a party,even in his own Dressing Room.

A work of art. I have a commissioned painting of that particular bike’s engine on my living room wall. It is the highest known serial number of the 13 known Cyclones.

Casual observation this morning.

Oops, texting and farming...

Reminds me of when I was on the wheat harvest in the early 70s. Needed $$$ for the next semester of college.

Sometimes we cut wheat until midnight. One of the combine drivers fell asleep. Cut a swath through the wrong 1/4 section (that's 1/2 mile!!!!) next to the one we were cutting. Didn't wake up until the combine took a header into the bar ditch. What a mess.

A friend of mine that I worked with tried to help out a man that needed to make a little extra money. So my friend thought he'd let him do some bush-hogging in a pasture, figuring what damage could he cause. A little while later the man returned and told my friend that he drove through the pasture fence and it needed to be put back up. In two places...

He drove it out in one section and back in at another section. Not so bright...
