    it started life as a freshly buried vw bug, once it reaches maturity, it emits pheromones to attract the native petrohead to its location, once unearthed, it emerges as a fully grown Dino.

    • @shananagans5
      @shananagans5 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      NellsStuff Exactly, in the 70s it was common to have white lettering or whitewalls on one side & all black on the other with no real, proper, inside or outside. It was essentially personal preference. lol I recall one time my mother couldn't decide if she wanted the whitewalls or not so she had one side mounted whitewalls in & the other side the whitewalls out. lol She drove it that way for a while until she finally decided she liked the black better.

    • @muskokamike127
      @muskokamike127 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      shananagans5 yeah, it was quite common to have your choice on lettering or blackwall (not the mounting of a pair on each side either way lol). This was long before Omni-directional tires and specific tire design for each corner of the car.
      On a similar note: I worked at a place that had sample sales all the time. What these were were products sent to the company by suppliers hoping we'd carry their products. I went to one and they had 2 of one style of mag wheel and 2 of another. All the same size and the right size for my car. They would retail for about $100 each but at this sale, they were $10.00 each. I was SO tempted to buy the 4 and just put 2 per side thinking "well, you can't see both sides at the same time" lol.....

    • @shananagans5
      @shananagans5 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      michael cochrane lol Yea, my mom did that back when there was no structural difference in the inside Vs. outside sidewall so there was no functional issues. It just made her look crazy.
      With those sample tires I would put matching tires on the front & matching tires on the back. lol Well, I wouldn't do that now but when I was in college I would be thinking about how many pizzas I could buy with the money saved. lol

    Another epic show. In the ep"Chris meets Alex", Chris says something like ' in this top gear era you can't be them, you must be you.' I think that the entire drive team is as good or better, in there own way, at making entertaining films. I think in the near future your films will be used to teach the next generation how to get it right.

    the cop said they couldn't identify the actual thieves. Without them there is no way to prove that the owner hired them to steal the car and commit insurance fraud. So, it just remains an interesting story.

      Yeah, if not slander on the filmmaker's part. Wonder if anyone tried to track Ruiz down and see what he had to say? Did the cops talk to him when they found his car in 1978? Serious loose ends just dangling.

    Thanks! Hoping to lift the live-camera stuff too eventually, but yeah, I'm much more comfortable with stories like this.

    I have a 1947 Chrysler Town & Country woody sedan that I rescued from a collapsed green house that stopped 1 inch from the roof and the car was sinking into a deep sink hole in the dirt floor.It was mostly complete but disassembled... I paid $1000 for it and it is a California car with no rust in the floor or trunk.

    I love how they unearthed a Dino. How appropriate, seeing as it's a big discovery, like an actual dino(saur).

    WOW. That is in superb condition considering how long it has been since it was painted. Excellent! My only problem with old cars is the motors are sometimes inefficient and changing the motor for something newer and more efficient makes the car a non classic. I'm hoping that one day I can convert my JK diesel to a full electric 4WD. I don't think the technology exists yet to make it a useful electric vehicle.

    Campagnolo made wheels for Ferrari? No wonder so many cyclist love their components now.

      Campagnolo made quality light alloy wheels. Ferrari was just one of the brands using them.

    This video has been in my "Watch later" list since it came out. Almost 8 years later, better late than never...

    I remember hearing stories about how hard my Grandpa used to be on cars. He must of destroyed dozens. My parents told me stories about the stupid accidents he would have. He would bury the wrecked cars in his back yard. My family still owns the property to this day. After watching this video, makes me wanna go dig them up and see what Gems I can find.
