    If she is the best they have, we might think that is a good thing! I'll help row.

    Fall Classes for Women

    This reminds me of a "discussion" I had with my wife many years ago. She came out to the garage in one of those "clean up" moods and informed me that she could clean up a lot of the "junk" in the garage. She was particularly contemptuous of the cans of rusted bolts, nuts, and washers. I...

    Ceo

    One of those young executives was leaving the office at 6 P.M., when he found the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. “Listen,” said the CEO, “this is important, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?” “Certainly,”...

    License Plates

    This is my 66 Shelby GT 350 license. For those of you who have forgotten your chemistry, Pb is the chemical symbol for lead. My daughter's license on her red mustang was LILPBFT. Have not gotten a personal one for the GT yet.

    Have Some Fun!!!

    Got them all - sad, I suppose. I have some more questions, somewhere that go back further. Here are a few. 1. What use was the button on the car floor for? 2. How did the first car window washer work? 3. How did one know you were close to the curb? 4. How was overdrive engaged? 5. What...

    Tire warning

    CORRECTION - Sorry. I just talked to the Hoosier guys here at the track and Hoosier does make a few DOT approved "street" tires. However, they are basically slicks with two groves. These would not be recommended for normal street use. They are basically a track tire.

    Tire warning

    I run Hoosiers on my race car (formula mazda). As far as I know, Hoosier makes no DOT approved street tires. The major difference between Hoosier race tires and other race tires I have used is the sidewall support. Hoosiers generally have less give and hence for many are a little more...

    Safe low-RPM range

    Dear BlackICE, I agree that stepping on the right pedal in 6th at 65mph is about as responsive as stepping on a plum. I also enjoy running through the gears on short outings. However, when I have 600 miles ahead driving perhaps the most eye-catching machine on the highway, it is sometimes...

    Safe low-RPM range

    I have followed this thread with much interest. I took my annual drive from Iowa to N.C. in little red. On the interstate I usually shift into 6th at 65 mph and I will then be running at 1,500 RPM. This has not seemed to be lugging on most of the interstate. However, I note in my owners...
