Today is 21 January 2026

TR membership is 109,808 up from 102,000 when I started posting.

Posts are now 6 MILLION 504,107 (6,504,107)

Number of threads is 572,342.

I want to thank the buttheads who contributed to TR's success by leaving.
That was the best thing you could have done to help our success.

sell the Honda...... lol

The guys who brought me Hondas to fix got respected by me back then,
and now they bring me Mercedes, BMW, SRT's

This year at Simply Clean there were 2500 cars packed into 1,000 legit spaces
.....and a few on the grass.... lol

The guys who drove Hondas years ago got real jobs, a family, a house and now drive expensive and highly modded cars. But after Simply Clean when the cop cars and helicopter showed up at Donny's where a gazillion people were watching the burnouts, it looked about the same as when we watched burnouts back in downtown Orlando years ago
....just before the cops kicked us out.

Philosophically,
1.The kids driving Today's Hondas are us.....parents didn't like our haircuts, our music, our cars, our attitude, etc.....
2.Everyone says the car scene is not like it used to be.
3.You can't go back there anymore......because there isn't there any more.

But.....
Go to Belaire Plaza for the Turkey Rod Run where the retirees are doing burnouts...in the car they always wanted back in high school.......that's us too.

But not everyone knows that........ yet... (wink)

The OG Ford guys made TR what is was 20 years ago. We are back...

A wealthy guy once told me: "The harder I work, the luckier I get."

You are correct, sir.
Sometimes the lucky ones worked their butt off to hang on to that car.

1977 Toyota Celica gt Liftback. I replaced the head gasket but couldn't for the life of me figure out why she wasen't starting. You tracked it down to the banjo fitting on the carb. The intake and return lines were reversed.
