This happened today, a few blocks from me: Fire started in garage, neighbors heard popping sounds and maybe some smoke as the first indication something was wrong. Firefighters say the popping was probably tires bursting. This would make the cars (or one of the 2 cars) as almost certainly...

There's a thread on BITOG right now where some AZ people have noticed their rock orders being cancelled on them at the last stage of the on-line purchase process. Some digging has turned up a conflict between rock and the AZ state gov't regarding AZ state taxes collected (or not collected?)...

Back in January 2024, I could buy a tin of brand-name ground coffee for $9 CAD (900 grams, about 32 OZ for $6.60 USD). January 2025, $12 ($8.80 USD). Currently, $18 ($13 USD). These are "on sale" prices. That's a price doubling in the past 1.5 years, 50% increase in the past 6 months. Has...

Where I am, in South-western Ontario, it's been 10 - 15 degrees F colder than normal for daytime high, almost the same for the daytime low. High today is going to be 61, low 39. Next 3 days high is (FINALLY) going to be 75 - 81 but then dropping back down. Detroit has also probably been...

A C-body FB group has been running a survey for a few days now. I'll post the results here, I don't think the percentages are going to change much from this point: What type of C-body do you own? Plymouth - 32% Dodge - 20% Chrysler - 40% Imperial - 7% Just a fan of C-bodies - 1% 457 votes

I'm looking through Rock auto and seeing a new brand show up on a lot of parts - "FAMOUS BRAND". Doing a little bit of searching, seems this famous brand is actually Car Quest. People are saying they're buying this stuff from rock and when they get the box, it's a car quest part.

I just signed up with deepseek as a joke. Created an account from my PC, using email sign-up. I tried several .com and other email domains, it wouldn't take them, but it does take gmail. Anyways, here's the question I asked: What is the most popular Chrysler C-body car? Some people here are...

I figure I'd point my Firefox browser running on this Win-7 PC to tik-tok . com for the first (and probably last?) time today, just to see what this is all about. I plugged a few things into the search bar, tried dodge, then dodge polara, and I got a few videos of a car I've never seen before...

Someone on FB claims to have "stumbled" on a closed Chrysler Plymouth dealership (or the parts stash from said dealer) that was in business in the 60's through early 2000. "They have tons of glass, sheetmetal, suspension parts, electrical parts, trim, clips for trim, A/C lines, fan shroulds...

I bought something on ebay, it was in Florida, being shipped to Michigan. It's apparently being shipped by USPS. Can anyone explain the route the package is taking? It got to within 14 miles of it's destination and then took a thousand mile detour. Read from bottom to top...

Here's an article that shows how countries rank on a wealth per person scale, in terms of average and median numbers. I've seen these sorts of numbers before, and I've always been curious how or why Australia ranks so high. Perhaps our Australian FCBO members can explain this...

Haggerty has a story about a recent change to Michigan's rules on driving a car with historic license plates, or (I guess) otherwise registered as a "historic" vehicle. Michigan's laws were similar to Ontario (Canada) where if you register your car as historic, it severely limits how much and...

There are some people selling stuff that only want to deal with payment via USPS money orders. Can this Canadian get an explanation as to how this is done if I'm making a quick trip to the US? I understand that a MO can be bought at a post office or a kiosk. The hours at a post office are...

I'm 10 miles north of the total ecplise zone, it's going to be a traffic zoo around here as people head to Port Stanley and the beach on the Lake Erie north shore to be well into the zone. It it's going to be anything like today (wall to wall sunshine) then a lot of people are going to be...

A final phase of demolition got underway Monday at the Packard Plant on Detroit's east side as the mayor declared that most of what's left of the infamous graffiti-scrawled ruins will all be down by year's end. The city will preserve two structures of the Packard Plant for their historical...

Bit of a long post, bottom line is that at some point in or after 2005, Ford Motor company was considering, or did, or wanted to do, the following: -------------- The Ford Customer Service Division will import used automotive parts from Canada. The exporter will be Ford Motor Company of...

Gas is the cheapest it's been for a while around here, so I filled up. Filled an extra 5 gal can while I was at it.
