For the crowd I hung out with, it was how quick can you run a quarter mile. 1975, I drove a '55 Chevy sedan with a warmed over 327, 4 speed and 4:56's. On Friday and Saturday nights, we'd meet after midnight behind the Bank of America on Van Nuys Blvd. Word had spread, "The Old Man" was racing...

I was married at 22 and she was my first girlfriend. She was the first girl who had ever asked me out. I wanted to start a family at 25 but she said we didn't make enough money. I told her, "If I can't have children, I'm going to get a Hot Rod!". I bought a '55 Chevy with a 327, 4 speed and...

When the pandemic hit and shut everything down, I hadn't driven my cars except to keep up the batteries. I sold my cars just in case anything happens to me so my wife wouldn't have to go through the pain of selling them. When the Government sent out the first stimulus check, I was pretty well...

Betty Page lived in Lawndale, Ca before she passed. I use to patrol Lawndale and met her a couple of years before she passed away.

I built a '75 Chevy Luv for my Dad. My brother had given it to my Dad but he wanted more power. Installed a 327/350 and a 9". The 327 was to get around the smog laws in California.

There was a skinny little runt that use to like my sister. One night he was in a bar and 3 guys were picking on him. They told him to step outside and he did. They went into an alley to presumably kick his butt. He was wearing a trench coat. He reached into his coat and pulled out a Samurai...

In California, I did a trade so they didn't charge me tax. Seems you can do that once a year.

Congratulations. A friend of mine built a "Zipper" street rod. He bought a title from a title company. Then one day, at a car show, he met a guy who had his registration revoked because he used a title company. The following year, he had his "Zipper" inspected and a vin number issued from the...

Wow! I should have gotten into undertaking.

I believe Sanderson's doesn't require gaskets. The stock exhaust manifolds on my '72 Chevy C20 doesn't use gaskets.

It's just the bench press. I had a lot of fun.

Today was the Power Lifting Competition. The last time I competed was 2012. I won my age and weight class with a lift of 265#. My goal this year was to beat the guy in the heavy weight class. He lifted 310#. I lifted 320#. I won a Gold Medal and a trophy for "Best Men's Lifter".

Interesting. Read "The Creature From Jekyll Island". The forming of "The Federal Reserve". The 5 riches families started the Federal Reserve. They all supported Hitler selling munitions to both sides. They also wanted a Coup against FDR over the New Deal.

To me, this is real street racing with real street cars. Just like the old days when almost anyone could run their daily drivers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZmYk2TaiYo

Back in '88, there was a TV show called "High Risk". If you have Netflix, go to Reality TV Shows and find "High Risk", which is one of the last shows. Season 1, episode 5, you will see me stopping a suspected car thief. Turns out, it was a car repossession. I'm at the 9:00 mark with my partner...

I got into working out when an old buddy surfaced after I retired. He had been in prison. If you ever watched "Breaking Bad", that was him. We were street racing buddies until I noticed he was buying cars, a LOT of cars and figured something was up, so I quit hanging around. He was pulling in...

The Brits just finished the most advanced submarine out there. It can monitor a ship leaving New York Harbor from England. Cost? 1 billion pounds.

In this day and age, I wouldn't want the job. People have gone "nuts" and so has Departments nationwide. The media treats cops so bad, guys coming out of the Military would rather go homeless rather than to take on the job.

I'm on Facebook more often the not. My cars just sit most of the time. Being retired for 4 years now, all I do is go to the gym at 4:30 am and leave at 6 am. From then on, I never leave the house. I'm turning into a hermit. Since I competed in the Senior Games in 2012, lifting is my passion now.
