Growing up, my father always had a CB in his vehicles. 4x4s had units on the dash like he was the Snowman, and smaller cars had Radio Shack and Uniden handhelds. The other day, I was caught in an accident on the highway. The advisory website, which I bookmark on my phone, never updated the...

FWIW, I had a red top, 25, 770 cca fail after two years just recently in the wife's ride. Purchased 2/24/22, dead 1/15/24. It seemed like a slow death -- in the weeks leading up, I could hear her car start more "slowly". Alternator tested fine. Advance tested it (although I doubt they...

Oh, man. The little storage cubby behind the back wheel well. And the rear shade. I miss my 1996. It was a great ride.

Clean! Very nice. Question -- in the background of a couple photos, is that an aircraft tail section?

Please PM me your address!

Such an underrated addition. When we moved into our house, I replaced all of the toilets with taller ones. Once you sit high, you will never want to go back to low.

Nice share! Although Doug was wrong on the rear headrests. You could extend them vertically.

I'm a bit of a rail fan, particularly old steam. You can't see him in the video, because he's on the engineer's side, but there is a man operating the UP Big Boy named Ed Dickens whose job is a dream. We're lucky in eastern PA with a RR/owner who has a soft spot for steam, and after rebuilding...

I was cleaning out an old zipper bag in my garage when I realized it contained leftover bulbs from either my 1996 XLT (which was traded in in 2004) or my 2004 Sport Trac (which was sold in the late 2000s). I think, clockwise, they are brake bulbs (3157), maybe glove box or high mount (922LL)...

I loved this generation's design! It also reminds me of Matt on here, who had one lit to the surface of the sun with PIAAs.

I finally watched the first Lego Movie with the kiddos last night, and saw this scene. And thought, huh, indirectly timely.

I spent a day in Waco, including at the Dr. P Museum, where I got a Dr. P float (old school -- ice cream, seltzer, and syrup). And a bunch of Dr. P swag. Cool place! Edit -- to add, I also dug the 7UP display. As a kid, I had Spot for NES. It has been long lost to a Goodwill donation, but it...

Yo! I thought this very thing today. I had to get the kiddos food before my son's game. We stopped at a McD's. He wanted a fish with cheese, she a happy meal, me a fish with cheese. Fries with the fishes. It was a hair under $30. I thought, yowza, $30 was dinner for four at a sit-down...

Ooo, willow green metallic and the deer hoof rims! That was my first Explorer (and car) back in the day, except mine was a 1996 with a matching willow green interior. The black grille suggests some work was done. They appeared on the 98-01 models. 95-97 had light silver, except for some...

I am curious whether this means the previous $250k FDIC insurance limit is now unlimited, and if so, for what duration. If yes, and for an unlimited duration, then I fear that signals to some banks that no risk is an unreasonable risk. Yowza.

California failed these folks. Sparks and his crew are something else.

Saw your ride in the For Sale section. I had to comment how mint it looks. Great care by your father.

He's a guy who must have played EA Sports Nascar titles growing up. :D

Have you ever been to a SEC football tailgate?

It's got the woo woo! (For you young 'uns, this was among the early internet viral videos.)

It's amazing how they went from small venue (pre-Blood Sugar) to small/medium/large arena (basically through Californication or By the Way) to stadiums. A coworker, as a kid, was visiting family in CA in the early 80s when she snuck into a RHCP concert in a music hall/bar that required her to...

Mostly RHCP as of late. Need to indoctrinate the kiddos before they go to their first concert on Saturday.

I can't wait. This appears to be the homage to childhood that I've been looking for, for decades.

I saw this on FB and immediately thought of you. Do you own a white racing suit and helmet? :)
