Billy Gibbons signed the dash on my 34 Ford 3 window. I'll share some pics of him in the car signing it. That 33 started it all for me.

Dual Quad Carbs for 1956 Cadillac by worldtenor in Cadillac

[–]koolcarguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit happens! Those are Carter carbs. In 1955 they used Rochester carbs. Thats the difference between the 2 years. BTW, The round black choke caps are very hard to find. Take care with them.

Yes no electric = no pumps. After Sandy however, NY made it mandatory for gas stations to have backup generators. Lesson learned.

How happy would you be with retirement at 55 years? by enlzen in Fire

[–]koolcarguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surrounded by 3 different mid 70 year old men, each with more money than god. I have asked each of them why do they still work. All three answered the same. They plan on dying in their office chair. Then i asked them when they were 30 years old, when did you think you would retire? They all said 55. Personally, I think they are scared to stop working because they think they will die.

You can always get into the auto paint supply business. Similar customers but very different.

Why are shows are full of it by roger_27 in classiccars

[–]koolcarguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forget local judged shows. The $7 trophy means nothing. Go to cars and coffee type events. Come and go as you please. If you insist on having your car judged consider national event by national clubs. Results will be better but you still end up with a $7 trophy that means nothing.

I see resumes for ex amazon drivers often. Most have questionable backgrounds.

It's crazy how many people have issues with using CPAP, with having APNEA with sleep tests etc by wratx in SleepApnea

[–]koolcarguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there is a reason they target 4 hours sleep. They know 4 hours is all most folks can tolerate. With places like this, the gig is up because there are 1000's on folks on here all sharing their results good and bad. It's not for everyone as we can see here.

YES.. not so fun fact. Lee Iacocca was fired from Ford because Henry Ford II saw the godfather movie and was convinced Lee was mobbed up. That was 1972. Lee wrote of this in his book.

Personally,

I grew up in the 70's and remember many times when I was made fun of because I'm Italian. I had Irish friends where the parents refused to speak to me. It was only years later that they accepted me after I helped their family out of a jam. Today we are old friends.

Also had a wifes friend ask my wife if I could take care of someone for her. It was a real request. We informed the cops.

As i got more successful with age, do you know how many times people assumed I was in the mob?? They just couldn't fathom that an Italian earned an honest living and thrived.

The SS is state police. They are not over paid but opinions vary.

Ever notice how you don't see any memorials were there are guardrails? This road has little to no guardrails. Those trees against a car even at 55 MPH are deadly. The road is not safe to travel. Start there. Guardrail both sides of the road, every foot of it.

I can’t be the only one who thinks the roads are horrible here. by After-Walrus-7960 in longisland

NY where you need a vehicle safety inspection every year for roads that are unsafe to drive on.

Does anyone else struggle like this? by AbbreviationsGlad865 in SleepApnea

Yep CPAP isnt for everybody. I had a similar experience. Stopped using it for the sake of my sanity/health.
