Remember the rare and striking 1969 Dodge Charger R/T I showed you back in June? It had all sorts of rare features and was scheduled to go under the hammer at Mecum's Harrisburg 2025 auction. Well, the gavel just dropped, and the Mopar changed hands for $176,000. That's an auction record for 1969 Chargers with the Hemi/automatic combo.

The Chevrolet Suburban may be the most iconic vehicle wearing this nameplate, but it's not the only one. In 1949, Plymouth introduced its own Suburban. It was the industry's second all-steel station wagon and remained in production through 1961. Plymouth revived the model between 1968 and 1978.
 

Clearly, the C8 Chevrolet Corvette Rocks the Performance Factor But Has a Styling Problem​

The two Chevrolet Corvette design studies presented in April and July obviously show the main issue with the C8 iteration - its design is starting to feel stale. Don't hit me with rocks, dear Chevy fans, I'm about to motivate my assessment.
 

Super-Rare 1967 Dart GTS Has the Best V8, Is Missing One Small Detail To Be Perfect​

Dodge's Dart GTS was the kind of car that didn't need to be loud to be legendary. Built in low numbers and packed with big-block power, the first-year GTS was a compact muscle machine that proved small size didn't mean small attitude.
 
I heard that also and I wouldn't blame them. On the other hand we had no problem getting insurance but it cost an arm and a leg and a first born. I am 5 miles from the Gulf and not in a flood zone. I think with the cost of insurance being as high as it is insurance companies are making money. The executives are being compensated really well, imagine that.
Yeah. Execs are paid millions while ppl whose insurance goes up and up can't be compensated for a covered event. 😤🤬
 
I was reading about it and there are "agreements" between the states but they expire this year. There has also been a drop in the ground water levels. Between flooding and drouts and hurricanes I am thinking WTF? Then there is ocean level rise and that really concerns me not to mention air pollution.
There was a huge drawn out process to manage our lake levels. It's a complex dance between snowfall, glacier runoff, treaties, and water rights of several Native American tribes.
 
A lot of the stuff, aka ice cream, you buy today is not ice cream. It is labeled frozen dairy desert or something like that because there is not enough cream in it to be called ice cream. Ice cream melts pretty quickly the frozen desert stuff has STUFF in it that does not melt too quickly.
I never buy the fake ice cream. It just doesn't have the right mouth feel. 🍨🍦
 
The River Naver is still one of the prolific rivers in Scotland and it was good to see so many salmon and sea trout in the pools. In the early part of the holiday low water and high temperatures kept them in the seas pools and estuary where I fished. After a little rain in the second week they moved up into the river proper.

It was good fishing in beautiful surroundings with just one minor mishap which my life vest in my waistcoat prevented becoming more serious. Damn seaweed is slippy underfoot when you are waist deep in a Scottish river.
I'm so glad you were protected, G! 🫂🥰
