While waiting in line for the ferry the other night, I saw this Subaru wagging his tail. Pretty funny!

Yeah, that's a 1978 Chevy Chevette. A buddy back in high school had one. Powder blue. We put about a million miles on that old car, running the backroads, wasting all our hard-earned Big Star grocery-bagging dollars.

It always needed gas.

But, not as much as this Chevette needs. Ya see, Bunky, this (otherwise fully restored) Chevette has had a big-block 427 shoehorned under the hood. TH-400, Holley 780, L-88 heads, yaddayaddayadda...

Word most frequently heard word by strangers spoken by the driver of this car:

"Pinks?"

Followed closely by:

"Sucka!"

Heh, it might go 300 mph, but, I bet it don't take off fer shit, with those skinny tires.

I also bet that thing jumps six feet straight up in the air every time he blips the throttle.

Paid a visit to the original Pie Wagon yesterday.

The (supposedly) only surviving, original-to-the-movie "Easy Rider" motorcycle was auctioned last night.

$1,350,000

I cannot confirm that's the original in the above pic.

Haggerty built 4 identical bikes for the movie, but 3 were stolen/dismantled, and the 4th destroyed in the film. When the filming was over Haggerty had to salvage and restore/rebuild/recreate, what ever you want to call it, the bike. The bike here is a reincarnation of the Captain America bike, but to say it's the one Fonda road in the movie is a stretch.

Could you take a piece of burnt metal, rebuild the Hindenburg, and legitimately call it the original? :eyebrow:

Forget about this, where is the cycle Joe Namath rode when he played C. C. Ryder in C. C. and Company! Huh? Baby boomers, where is THAT cycle?

I said supposedly, man, sheesh, put that knife away.:biglaugha

I wasn't talking at you, just adding what I think I know about it. Not everything is about you, ya know. http://cellar.org/2012/bwekk.gif

It ain't?:eek:

Oh damn, I'm sorry, I forgot it was a secret. Please forgive me. :ipray:

JCPenney? Rly?

They even sold drag slicks at one time.
