In my day we didn't have Autozone.... Only the JC Whitney catalog....

 

Under 25-30 year olds have no clue anything.

Hell they do not even know anything about life before: the Internet, Color TV, Cell and Cordless phones, or what belts are for.

They don't even remember when this planet had 3 moons and the rebellion came and used the force to defeat the evil empire and blow up the death star.


NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!

 

Remember when Manny one of the Pep-Boys smoked a cigar???? They even gave away matches.

Manny even had a little Hitler mustache.

Ahhh remember the days before everything had to be politically correct.

 

In my day you bought your hood scoop at AutoZone and stuck it on with double sided tape ....And we liked that way...............:crazy:

 

It's to bring cold air in so the glowing red turbo doesn't combust. If the scoop has scooped birds this is more likely, but heck man roasted bird. Yum....

:drool

 

I swear you could build a VW Beetle from the ground up out of that catalog...

 

Damn Chuck.... I need a bigger air scoop....:drool

 

Oh boy JC Whitney now that brings back memories. Fire-ring spark plugs fire even in oil.

 

It's the Fast and Furious generation :lol:

 

Yeah, what is it with these writers? The Mustang hood scoop is nonfunctional! Just like 2nd and 3rd gen MINI.

 

My son grew up watching F&F and wanted a tin can fart machine. He changed his mind after a few visits to the Pomona Swap Meet, man I miss going there.

 

The next engine mod for Paulo Uber... an engine bay rotisserie!

 

Nah.... It functions.... It's an air scoop scooping air in the 2nd & 3rd gen... The plate that keeps birds out has little holes in it... So yeah.... It's functional...

 

Your is good for squab or pressed duck....

 

More like ‘Slow and a little Miffed’.

 

I bought many engine rebuild kits for VW air cooled engines. Great prices, most parts came out of Brazil as I recall.

 

Yep, cause they still had a plant making those things up till a few years ago.

 

I still think you can build a jeep out of the catalog. Anybody up for some four wheelin'?

 

Now the will be making the F'ed 56. :lol::lol::lol::lol:
