  • Snow fun in the Ranchero

    I had a good time driving out of my back yard in the Ranchero. It was snowed in pretty good. I didn't expect to get it out. I didn't need to get it out but I did need to take the trash out. The city hadn't been picking it up on the curb due to the snow. So I Bumped it up over/through about a foot. It has big truck snow tires. It took about 10 minutes of playing with it to get it out. What can I say, it was fun! Then I added the curb trash to the trash in the bed and took it to the transfer station.

              if your wife every convinces you to get rid of it, lemme know! I always wanted an older ranchero, El Camino, or dodge rampage, but since I really don't care for GM, it narrows it down a little

                    Yeaaaaah it would cost a buttload to drive it up to NY. But it runs like a champ! As they say everything's for sale. But here it is in a couple of starring roles.... 8^)

                    This is The Void featuring Neanderpaul playing their cover of the Beatles' Ballad of John and Yoko. Special thanks to Garrett for driving. The featured ride ...

                    This is the latest live looping vid from neanderpaul. It was shot in my back yard with two sony digital cameras. the sound was taken from one of the cameras....

                    This is neanderpaul live at the Celebrate Catawba festival. You can see me roll by on my heelys! 8/15/09

                              I owned a blue 74 ranchero back in 1979. I loved that car, or was it a truck. Fastest stock car I ever owned. The 351 Cleveland was a great motor. It had a strong automatic trans too. Don't remember what trans it was but it would curp the rear wheels when the trans shifted. I was down the shore and got drunk and slept in the back of it one night. Seeing yours brought back a lot of go memories. I even raced and beat a corvette on the Garden State Parkway once coming back home from the Shore. Hated trading it in, but had to get something with a back seat because I had a 2 year old son and another one on the way.
