I only use my debit card to withdraw money. I never ever use it to make purchases. A while ago, mail was being stolen and the credit cards were showing up in Manila. The Postal Inspector figured it was a Filipino guy working in the main office but they could never catch him stealing the mail.

I went into Walmart once and swore I would never go back. Good score on the DVD's though. I wonder what happened to JJ when he kicked the door in on that paparrazzi who was across the street from his shop?

My rule is, if you're close enough for me to see occasionally, I accept the friendship, if not, I hit the reject button. Also, if I don't hear from you ocassionaly, I delete the friendship.

I can't understand the younger generation. They seem to want something for nothing, showing up 20 minutes late and taking time off whenever there is time on the books. My last two jobs, I never took a vacation and that's a 38 year span. Granted, I was single and didn't like to travel. My last...

A couple of weeks ago, the wife and I went to Bakersfield. At 6:30 am, it was 87. Driving home, through the San Fernando Valley, it was 92. Got home to Torrance at noon and it was 68.

I never turn my cell on unless I'm broke down. My home phone, I have caller I.D. so if I don't answer, I'm either out or I don't like you! (LOL) My message? "Please leave a message".

I've gone with Aldan coilover for their life time guarantee. Good company and stands by their product. When mine sprung a leak, they rebuilt them at no charge.

Riverside County, Calif.? Come to Legg Lake on June 2nd for a BBQ. Some rods and customs. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=691207&highlight=bad+bob+bbq Hope to see you there. The wife and I will be in the avatar.

Great looking car. My first race car was a '65 Malibu SS with a 454, 4 speed and 4:88's. Unfortunately, it was a Friday and Saturday night street racer built to make me money. Why? Because it looked like an abandoned car.

It was 1968 and my Dad said, "Why don't you buy a '55 Nomad station?". He had seen an ad in the L.A. Times so we went to go look at it. I was black lacquer with diamond butt and tuck interior. Motor was a 327 with a 4 speed. Asking price was $750. The seller said someone was coming down from San...

One evening on patrol, I saw a Toyota 4X4 driving with out headlights. Further down the street, I saw the traffic car (who has to write tickets) parked on the opposite side of the street. I figured the traffic guy needed to write the cite, so to mess with him, I made a U-turn and stopped this...

Teens aren't the only stupid people. Look at celebrities that use drugs and die before they can spend the money they've made. What a waste.

I find that life is what you make of it. My last job, I was never afraid to move. I looked forward to meeting new people and being in a different environment. If I hadn't moved, I would never have met my wife. As long as I had enough money to live on, I was happy. On the other hand, seeing...

One of my best friends, I met in my street racing days. I asked him what he did for a living. He said he was a thief. I said sure you are. What do you do for a living. He said, "I'm a thief!". I asked around and sure enough, he was a thief. Kinda like Robin Hood, he stole from the rich (Beverly...

The best one was on MySpace. I get a friendship request from a girl that said she liked my profile picture. She said, "You are so beautiful, angels hide their faces in shame". That was so funny, I showed my wife, she cracked up because I've got a face that only her and my Mother would love!

Just for fun, I saw a '67 Nova with a blower sticking out of the hood. He had 14X32's on back so I stopped him. I asked him if he knew why I stopped him. He said no. I pointed at the blower and said, "You know, the box that blower came in says "Not for use on pollution controlled vehicles in...

Way back in '69, I was working in a Mobil gas station after school. The prom was coming up and my coworkers asked me what car I was taking to the prom. I told them I was driving my '64 Bug. One guy had a '67 GYX and the other guy had a '67 Camaro. They said, "You can't take a Bug, take one of...

Today, at coffee, one of the guys said JJ showed up at a coffee meet in Long Beach driving a Bentley with a license plate frame that said, "My other car is a West Coast Chopper". What is it about celebrity? Billy Gibbons showed up at a Mooneyes Xmas Show, pre-'65 only, driving a new Scion XB...

Mine was a '65 Malubu SS. Originally, it was a 327 and 4 speed. I put a 454, kept the 4 speed and added 4:88's and slicks.

I watched a show showcasing JJ's cars, none of which he built. When he claimed the '34 Street Rod would run 9's, I had to reconsider his mechanical knowledge. As for his bikes, a co-worker has a JJ Chopper and said the dang thing is in the shop more than its on the road. My friend saw the first...
