Is it Really that bad?

If we believe the media, “Gas Prices are too High, People are not traveling as much” “The Job Market is the worst it has been since the ’30s And people do not have money” Etc. Well I say that it is BS. Traveling down the highways of our nation, there is more Traffic than ever [...]

Well today an era comes to an end. Mrs. J.J. and Myself have officially retired the original Jojo mobile. As those of you who took place in the JoJo Fest in Ft. Worth, TX hosted by Lawman know the 1990 Dodge caravan that MR and Robo brought for transportation AKA the “JoJo Mobile” It was [...]

Ironic Isn’t It ?

A couple of weeks ago I was loading at the El Reno, OK Federal correctional facility. While waiting to be admitted into the secure area, I noticed that the guards who driving around the perimeter of the prison were all driving these small SUV vehicles. The Ford ESCAPE

‘CudaHead…..

This is a complicated “Muscle Car” term because the definition of it depends on whether you’re a F.O.R.D. (Fix Or Repair Daily) Nut, a G.M. (General Mistake) Bozo, or a MoPar (Chrysler Corp.) Fan (No prejudice here…eh?)….. Ford and GM owners consistently Demean the Dodge Challenger by calling it a ‘Cuda – therefore, they call [...]

High way Stories

Jet-Powered Cars? In the 60′s?

You probably missed them since they were never available for sale. Interested? You can read about it in “Chrysler’s Turbine Car” by Steve Lehto. Here is the opening from the book review in The Wall Street Journal: What Would Don Draper Drive? In this automotive age of gutless golf carts shaped by computerized wind tunnels, [...]

Fuel Additive…..

I went into the local WalMart to purchase some fuel additive for my ’89 Dodge Raider….. With 180k on the odometer it sometimes gets in these sluggish moods…. The check-out lady asked me if I was at least 18 years of age in order to purchase the product…. I replied, rather snippy, “Lady, my car [...]

P.D. Bob’s Weather Antenna….

I would’ve Posted this sooner, but, there was this visit from Jek….. He proceeded to re-invent my computer and reorganize everything!….. As soon as he left MR HQ, P.D. Bob decided he didn’t like any outsider (to him) messin’ about with the layout of things – so-o-o, he promptly reorganized everything to his liking….. Needless [...]

Responsible Reporting?….

I don’t think so!….. Here’s a news story that ran on local TV over the past week that should have never been broadcast…… “Due to the high cost of fuel, thieves are now drilling holes in the bottoms of gas tanks with cordless drills in order to steal gas”….. Why do I think this is [...]

Enough Is Enough!!!!!!!!!!

I know we have had discussions on the gas prices before, but this is getting WAY OUT OF HAND! I’m seeing $4.00 + Diesel and $3.40+ gasoline down here in the south and in the Midwest. Now I know those of you in the great NW have been fighting these prices for some times and [...]

This one is for J.J. Enjoy! Big Rig Jig, a sculpture conceived and designed by Mike Ross, is built from two repurposed 18-wheeler tanker trucks.

Strange Business……

This is one of those things that I’ve wondered about for quite some time and just can’t figure out…… You would think that the biggest business’s in Oklahoma would be in horses, cattle, or oil production, but, it would appear not….. Almost every other commercial on local TV and radio stations are from new car [...]
