I made it; I'm parked next to Kenny. Where are you?

One day in the future, Barack Obama has a heart attack and dies. He immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him. "I don't know what to do here," says the devil. "You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going...

Yep, I'll be there. In preparation, I decided to get all fancy... and tonight I vacuumed my Grand Prix's interior and trunk. Not cool, man. Not cool.

Hmm. I could drive there Tuesday morning, then catch a cave tour (and snoop around the visitor centers) that afternoon. But since Ely is the closest "real" spot for lodging, and it's on the wrong side of the park as far as my trip is concerned, maybe I could instead head SE from there and make...

July 4th is one of the few holidays we are closed, so I'll be off work that day. Wednesday is my usual weekly day off work, which means I'll have two consecutive days off next week--a true rarity for me (unless I burn vacation days). I've decided I should use this opportunity and take a quick...

:rofl:

For future reference, how would one make contact with this Pontiac club? Do they have a Facebook group, or something else?

That's a thing? I didn't know that was a thing. At any rate, I have arranged to take the 15th off work. If any of you have Pontiacs and you want them to look really good, just come park next to mine.

I am going on a rescue mission to Moab on Sunday. I will drive my empty Suburban down there in the morning, then hook up a trailer and tow it back home while escorting the rescuee in their XJ (which I am hoping can make the return trip entirely under its own power). Anyway, does anyone need...

Leaving work last night, I noticed there was a small water puddle in the aisle. Hmm, perhaps I could use it as a water box for the left tire, and then they might both spin. I pulled through it slowly, then nailed the gas for just a few seconds. There was a ton of smoke, which made me happy...

My new best friend Tim wants to see some local sights. He recently bought a TJ and wants to experience the canyon, so we've made plans to meet at the Chevron tomorrow morning at 9:30. As for now, it looks it will just be the two of us in our TJs. I know this is extremely short notice, but I...

Sounds fun, but I'd be embarrassed if I showed up and only did a one tire fire. :(

Brave man that I am, while driving home last night I finally decided it was time to try some sort of burnout in this car. I detoured slightly to the edge of town, where I could find a quiet back country road away from residential areas and with some roadside trees for cover. No powerbraking...

Interesting. In my case, there is no title--it has been lost. However, the car also has not been registered for over 14 years. This is actually a good thing--the Utah DMV has a specific process called Insufficient Proof of Ownership, and by going through a few simple steps and completing a...

Okay, so the tales are true. This is what I will do. Thanks, gang.

Whenever I buy a car private party, I always print out an official Bill of Sale (form TC-843) to present to the DMV when they charge me sales tax. Easy enough, right? Without revealing too many details, a friend is about to give me a car. This would mean there is no bill of sale required...

Exactly! My co-worker Mike keeps teasing me about it, playing up the modern symbolism of the rainbow. I always offer the same response: "but it's period correct!!!" For the record, that sunshade is ancient. It came with the car. It is heavily faded and weathered, but I use it because...

My schedule was open yesterday evening, so I decided another modification of the Grand Prix was in order. Time to install those Trans Am hood vents! Reciting the 'measure twice, cut once' mantra over and over to myself, I began at my kitchen table by making a heavy paper template for the...

No problem, happy to help. :) For those of you who missed it, Dave and I ended up using the 146.620 repeater on Farnsworth Peak. I underestimated the performance of his Baofeng HT, because I thought this repeater might be too far from his location to offer effective communication. I was very...

I'm your huckleberry. Shall we try to hit a repeater at, say Ensign Peak? Maybe I'll text you.
