Above images are from http://www.letsmow.com and this blog is titled, The Cutting Edge. Pretty cool!

Learned about it from the event calendar on http://www.goldeagle.com/event_marketing/engine-answerman-tour.aspx and also borrowed the bottom photo to show you what a Monster Truck treatment does to a lawn mower

FYI, the worlds fastest lawnmower is claimed by the Dixie Chopper Jet Mower built in 1991 by Dixie Choppers owner Art Evans and was on a 1993 episode of Tim Alllen's sitcom Home Improvement. The fastest at Bonneville is the black one above (not the monster truck one) which clocked at 96.529 in 2010

would you put this bullshit testimonial on your website's main page? Gold Eagle has. Their webmaster is a moron I believe this proves

I thought this was innovative for an ATV, it's just an improvement of the 1960's Wagner Brothers Go Devil

Ever wonder why some people can't see the collision they are about to cause? Hmmm, could be the kleenex box permanently mounted to their dash

Looks sorta odd with the white front bumper huh? That is just one unique detail, and the factory had to sell it that way, because the paint hadn't been figured out that would stay on the Endura bumpers.

Learned about it on the backpage of the Dec 2012 Muscle Car Review

Christmas story time... two 1960's 426 hemi in the factory crate

7:31 PM Unknown No comments

this is the only one I've ever seen...

But in Hawaii, on the island of Oahu, a member of the 1990s Mopar Club had one in the crate, and every christmas he dragged it into the liveing room from the closet, and set a small christmas tree on it. After the holiday, he pushed it back into the closet.

true story, I he told me about it. Great guy too, all of the Oahu Mopar club were really nice people.

From Frank Badalson, http://www.rogergibsonautorestoration.com/aboutus.htm partner of Roger Gibson, (Mopar restoration expert) is a photo gallery of all the minutiae of the unique aspects in the Muscle Car Review magazine Dec 2012 issue

Some people wait a lifetime to find a great car, some find it when they are a teen, and wait a lifetime to won it. Mark was a fortunate rarity, he got both the car he desired 30ish years ago, and it's a barnfind 1969 GT 500 Shelby Mustang

Mark's neighbor was an attorney that owned 3 Shelby Stangs, acquiring each as payment on cases, and this was the one he drove the most and damaged in the early 80's, and then parked it in the warehouse over his office. Once it went into the freight elevators and into that warehouse it was off the radar... til the attorney finally mentioned selling it to the single person that could reunite it with the once teenage neighbor kid

The original 428 was blown early, and replaced with a 390, but the sale went through at 25 thousand to Mark, because he'd known the seller since the 80's and the seller knew it was going to a good home finally

the only other Petty Sueprbird license plate you're going to see is http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/09/rare-license-plate-richard-petty-had.html but that doesn't mean anyone wants one bad enough to blow a paycheck or so for one that will then be a dust collector
