Car Guys Discussion / Re: Dumb traffic tickets
Last post by Kern Dog - Yesterday at 04:00:38 AMHow about "penalty assessments?"
There will be the base fine, then all the other bullshit fees tacked on to it.
$40 for speeding, $25 for administrative fees, $15 night court fee, $10 for some other crap and in the end, the penalty assessments are MORE than the base fine.

Charger Discussion / Re: What has been your longest...
Last post by Kern Dog - Yesterday at 12:02:50 AMThat is so cool.
It does help to make the car more comfortable. Heat protection, A/C, better seats or at least good supporting ones too.
I am lucky to have a supportive wife. I love going places with her. A car that looks like this may be a hard sell for a road trip with her:
She would go along for a short drive but surely not 900 miles like I did a couple weeks ago.

Last post by 1970Moparmann - May 03, 2024, 09:58:44 PMMy longest trip with my 68 Charger was 1,750 miles on the Hot Rod Power Tour. Many miles of smiles! Only had a voltage regulator go bad. In my Coronet, I did 1,200. Doing about that again this year on HRPT in my Coronet - can't wait!

Charger Discussion / Lost Muscle Cars FB page
Last post by marshallfry01 - May 03, 2024, 09:54:22 PMSomeone on the Lost Muscle Cars page is looking for their 1969 hemi charger. I'm going to copy and paste their question here. I do not know this person... just trying to see if anyone here has info on their old car.
I am still looking for the car shown in the picture. 1969 Dodge Charger. VIN# XS29J9B291581, 426 Hemi, 4 spd, V2 Hemi orange exterior, X9 black interior. It was ordered new by my cousin Dennis Hoffman,at the Barth and Gosset dealer in Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada. This was the only Hemi car sold new in Stony Plain from 1966-1971. We believe the car was wrecked in 1970, fixed, and sold shortly after. If you have any info on the whereabouts of this car , or even the engine or transmission. Thanks

Charger Discussion / Re: Too valuable to drive?
Last post by timmycharger - May 03, 2024, 03:57:26 PMQuote from: Kern Dog on May 03, 2024, 01:47:51 PMQuote from: Mytur Binsdirti on May 03, 2024, 04:53:13 AM40 years ago, I drove my 68 hemi Charger all over the place.
I can't imagine making that trip today in the middle of the summer with no a/c, hot vinyl seats, wind blast (from all the windows open), crappy radio, etc.
For me, years of construction conditioned me to just dealing with the elements.
Wind, rain, noise and dust don't bother me.
I can be more comfortable in a late model car for trips, I'll admit that.
It doesn't stop me from enjoying the classics for distance drives. I'll jump into the cars and sweat, I'll deal with the road noise, the faint smell of gasoline, the vibrations and 10-15 mpg. So what...? This is how these cars were and to me, it is part of the experience. You can improve on them with A/C and sound deadening but I hesitate to adopt a fully modern approach to the old car. It sounds good to essentially put a classic skin over a late model drivetrain and chassis but then you'd lose the essence of the car. You'd have an appliance with a fancy wrapper.
Late model engines? Sure.
Aftermarket A/C ? Absolutely.
Some guys eliminate the vent windows or run quiet exhaust systems. No thanks! To me, the sounds are part of the experience of these classics!
Agreed, except for me, late model engines in old cars don't really do it for me. That is my personal preference as It is very satisfying to me to be able keep my 440 six pack running as well as it does, especially when I keep hearing/reading that six packs are a beast to tune. Nah, just some patience and trial and error and some expensive parts from quickfuel lol.
Dirty Turbin, I must have seen at least one of your cars over the years, did you ever attend any Northeast Mighty Mopar events back in the day? Peabody Chrysler, Smithtown RI? etc

Last post by Kern Dog - May 03, 2024, 01:50:39 PMAs weird as it will sound, I almost enjoy it when a small mechanical issue crops up on a road trip. I feel like a boss when I do some quickie fix and get back on the road like nothing happened.
