A memorabilia sign I saw in the "Home Goods Store" last night. Based on this forum, if only they knew...

I could use that sign in my garage at times. I find things that have been done by past owners .

My wife got me a shirt that says “I really need a back up garage”. Some of the stuff out there is pretty neat.

My wife and I are still laughing at that, good one derek. Thank goodness bubba didn't have mine long enough to bubba it up too much. I now need to replace the fuel pump and the bubba fuel lines to the pump and to the carb. Need to get rid of rubber to carb.

Agree!!!

When you are stuck on the side of some backwoods scenic country road where only a tractor comes by once a month, you will be kissing Bubba on the ear (the only body part without grease) when he uses a coat hanger and duct tape to get you driving again as opposed to waiting on a date correct alternator and fuel pump.

Now I like "date correct" parts too but Bubba has an invaluable role and not to be "dissed"!!!!
