Jus tread your bio. When I saw Reagan at a campaign speech in 1964 for Barry, I was REALLY inspired. In fact, one of the comments put in my year-book bio was that "Davis was disappointed theat Goldwater lost the election. Davis also likes his Dad's 1966 Chrysler 300." It had a 440 TNT package with dual quads. The Torqueflight tranny was the best that Detroit had. Couldn't break it. I was doing manual shifting on the auto, Took it up to 70 in second, went to third, wound it out; not thinking went "up a gear" to N, revevved the mill to 8 grand, pulled back on the lever, caught third and burned rubber at ninety. The tranny and mill were just fine. It's amazing we lived through that era. Chrysler rocked in the 60s. Since then, I'd never buy a MoPar. All crap.
Correction: the building $50,000. Junk inside $29.95, Secret deposit in Bill's Swiss bank account: $164,949,710.00
I might go in just to wipe a booger on the wall. I know that's gross, but I would just have to.
What's the difference between 'trailer trash' and apartment dwellers? Those in the trailers are building up equity. The ones in the apartments self-disenfranchise.
The attendance is for voyeurs. Inconsequential and irrelevant. Like Rush and Dick Morris have pointed out, the Lie-berry is mainly a money-laundering front for Bilkary's future campaigns for the White House and U.N. Secretary Generalissimo.
i would have thought that they assured visitors a good level of hygiene. after all, they mop up after each exhibit "viewing" by a visitor instead of waiting until days end. I wonder what Beelzeflubba does for docents?
My Catalina came from the factory with three carbs (Pontiac called it "Tri-Power"). The only changes I made were changing the carb linkage to strictly mechanical operation, and I added a set of tuned headers with lake plug extensions. Since I had to use the car to go back and forth to work, I kept it pretty tame. I would unplug the lake plugs when I would drag. I also changed the column shifter to a floor shifter (three speed manual transmission). The column shifter was just not adequate for "quick" shifting. It would jam regularly.
I was introduced to Barry Goldwater through his book "The Conscience of a Conservative" and immediately fell in behind him. I just knew he was going to change politics in America forever. His was a credo that inspired young folks buy the thousands. Today that army still stands intact, having delivered the POTUS to Ronald Reagan and GW Bush, both history making Presidents. As for Chrysler, we were overjoyed when the Chrysler "Hemi" (Hemisphere) head engine came out. I think it was around 1951, a few years before the Chrysler 300 came out. It was a hot rodder's dream. With the combustion chamber in the heads shaped much like the combustion chamber of a reciprocating aircraft engine cylinder it was a "natural" for modification. IMHO, I believe the "Hemi" was the father of the present day "fuel" dragsters and funny cars!!! Chrysler, which was big into NASCAR in the "300" heyday, has gone downhill big time. I had a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Limited with the big V8. Was not happy with it at all! Thankfully, it was a leased company car that I got rid of in three years. Later!!!
