Mosey over to the Irma Hotel while in Cody to kick up a chair & wet your whistle to see what Buffalo Bill left us in the great state of Wyoming !!

I have always admired engine and model ‘callouts’. Here is my collection that I walk past several times a day while remembering yesteryear. 🤗

Steve, If your wheels have to be off the ground, these guys are the best around. How is a hospital gown like insurance? You're never covered as much as you think you are. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Oldsmobile Mustache team

It doesn’t matter who is playing in Austin, Bob Wills is still King !! Music that will never make you grit your teeth … 🤗

I’m all for safety, but the exciting era of yearly innovation, multiple chassis and engine builders, raw power sounds and yes, the danger of open cockpits is sadly behind us.

Well made filters. Cost a little more, but Dr. Olds whole heartedly approves …

Hopefully I’m not hi-jacking the post here with a one minute GM ad showing the 2023 Z06 Corvette with their new normally aspirated, flat plane crank, DOHC V-8 pavement ripper. GM still has heart ❤️

Dale Walksler, owner of the outstanding ‘Wheels Through Time’ museum in Maggie Valley, NC, passed away earler this week. He was a wonderful asset to preserving our motoring history, both 2 and 4 wheeled, all carefully displayed at his his museum. Dale lived his life by sharing his passion with any all, willingly and enthusiastically. There is much on the web about Dale, however this well done tribute shows him in his element relishing in his passion. https://youtu.be/9HYhlb99gA8 Gods speed Dale. https://www.themountaineer.com/obituaries/dale-walksler/article_7be729f6-6af7-11eb-9cfc-7bb6da31e56a.html

Upon the completion of the 1998 merger between Chrysler and Daimler-Benz to form ‘Daimler-Chrysler’, a top Stuttgart executive was asked at a presser about the exact pronunciation of the new name. His terse answer was, ‘Chrysler remains silent’ ...

Yee-ha !! 🤠
