    Definitely not. But in my old age I'm now smart enough to put helmets on the kids-just not for myself. The plastic discs we used in the sand dunes work great for the kids with a ski rope. Best was in the school parking lot where I could just sling them around. The 50 Rules! Now just wondering what crab toe was up to? And we are supposed to get more snow early tomorrow morning.....

    Good Stuff...back in high school we used a 68 Camaro trunk lid, an inner tube, and a plastic towable sled for a boat and pull them all over a neighborhood with my Triumph TR7 car. Then we used these same items plus more to slide down the side of the lake dam(they put up fencing to stop this after us).

    Kneeboard and a '78 Fairmont, that's what I used back in the day. I vividly remember seeing my girlfriend at the time getting slung through a row of hedges.

    In fact, we didn't need snow to drag things behind the car. When I moved back to Texas from Detroit, I dragged my snow blower behind my '91 Mustang until the snow blower disintegrated upon colliding with a pole. It was a warm and dry evening. Wish I could find that video.

    Rob,

    tell everyone about the washer dryer combo you dragged around the streets shearing off city titties.

    That was Bud, and it is a true story. However, I was involved in lawnmower dragging and bicycle ghost riding at 60 mph out of a pickup.

    Just got done with snowboarding in Keystone. Will drive thru and see a bit of Denver before flying home tomorrow night.

    It was nice to get away and my mind off things.

    Finally got the project "home". Thanks toMichael for taking time out of his day to help me pull her out.

    1957 Chevy Bel Air, 4-door Sedan
    283ci, 2bbl, Powerglide Transmission
    Factory A/C
    119,000 miles
    One owner (4th generation in the family)

    Amazingly the car is truly the same color. Some panels oxidized at different rates (maybe due to prior damage/repair paint), but it's amazingly straight and only rust is behind the rear bump and back of the trunk (easily repaired). I even have the dealer letter from June of 1956 when the owner was configuring the car, and then purchased in July, 1956. Truly a diamond in the rough.

    It's amazing what you run across at an Estate Sale.

    I would have a pro come over and detail/restore the paint and clear over it (flat clear).
    Do a disc brake upgrade on all 4 corners and a nice low cost set of 17 or 18 inch wheels along with a 4.8 LS and 4L60 swap (the 4.8 cause they are dirt cheap) and drive the piss out of it. No A/C needed. Summer nights and spring/fall weekend driver.
