  • I fully support this

    (well, not by turning my ad block off, but the notion)


    the tl;dw is this - He has a Superbee that was his first can and is sitting in a barn because he's afraid to drive it. So to protect his barn car, he's buying another barn car. I see nothing wrong with this.

    Do you?

    Nope. I've always preferred the Road Runner as the front of the Super Bee looks weird. Now if it was a Road Runner, then yes.

      Nope! He should give it to me. I don’t care what the front looks like. It deserves to be driven. Besides, I’ve never owned a MOPAR of any sort. We did have an old prewar aircraft tug that had a Dodge flathead 6 in it, but that was dad’s. I only drove it in the fields.

        Yep, I also fully support this !

        My first car was a 1967 Dodge Coronet 500. I painted it a Cadillac metallic blue, put Cragar S/S mags on it with a Thrush muffler and done. Oh, my GSD Gus too.

          the closest I've ever come to owning a Mopar is a Plymouth Arrow. It's only remarkable because a friend bought it, then hated it so much that he returned it and didn't want a refund. To be honest, I didn't want to sell it to him (and told him that) - it was brown, automatic and absolutely the slowest car I've ever flipped.

            I had a MIL that has an Arrow (or maybe it was a Cricket). Similar POS though she drove it 'till it died. The good news is that it was only a couple of years. Then they bought a /6 Torqueflight Valiant that lived forever.

              this car couldn't outrun the ice age. It'd be gone at the first glacier movement.

                I had watched the video and thought purchasing the car was fine . But just so he doesn't ever drive his first car on the street ? Sounds ridiculous. I've been to Burbank. Just parking for a half day is expensive. And he's had something like 40 cars for years . He must get free parking from a lot of friends outside LA . It doesn't appear that the garage at his house is big enough to hide Super Bee #1 . So since he can't see it when everr he walks into the garage, I don't see the point . And I thought that driving a muscle car every day was the point of the red 71or 72 road runner .

                  I do wonder where his vehicles are - but after the thefts they experienced (e.g. Mazgrande), I totally get why he'd be reluctant to ever show them where they're stored. Also, they wouldn't need to be somewhere where land is expensive, they could be in a non-descript warehouse in Bakersfield or in some farmer's unused barn in the middle of nowhere. And to quote the immortal words spoken to Richard Rawlings "sure I could sell the car to you, but then I wouldn't have it"

                    Yes with more than words. I bought the swag in the D/F store to support these efforts.
                    The general Mayhem 2.o shirt is very nice.
