Scrapping the Chrysler Turbine Cars

Yes indeed. Old Dodge Power Giant. Probably a 413 V8 engine in it
Back when I hauled steel for the company I retired from, we did a lot of Chrysler Stamping on 8 and Mound Road, went there a couple times a week and many times there was a guy who came in with a jet black Giant with a diesel in it, never asked what was under the hood but I always got a kick out of seeing it. Very imposing road tractor. They have a sinister look about them, but then I love old diesel trucks anyway. Autocars are my favorite, A Cars and Reo Raiders.

I saw one make a 1/4 mile pass at the Mopar Nats years ago. It was actually pretty slow, like a 18 second time. They might have been dogging it to.

I watched just a little of the video. I had to stop when I caught myself screaming at my IPad. “Carefull with that forklift, you’ll scratch the paint”!

Me and two buddies rescued a 66 hemi Belvedere II from a junk yard about 30 years ago and resold it. It had been picked up by a forklift and the guy missed the first time. Kind of a nasty dent in the rocker panel.

Many years ago, my son and I attended the Honda Defensive Driving School at Mid-Ohio Raceway.

One of the instructors commented during orientation that Honda had swapped out 50 of the student cars a week ago. I asked if Honda cleaned them up and sold them. He said they would all be crushed due to liability concerns because of the abuse they get!

Most of the lake boats i've seen with turbines in them.
