Thread: you might be hot rodder on thanksgiving IF;

Tweet

you carve the turkey with a SAWZALL.

you have to clean the car parts off the dinner table.

there is no room to park the guests cars in the yard because of all YOU'RE cars and junk.

won't let the boys outta the garage to come eat because you want to take advantage of the help to work on you're hot rod.

the discussin' at dinner becomes who has the loudest car, so everybody goes and fires 'em up to see!

You run out of chairs at the dinner table but save the day with a couple of Bomber seats you just happen to have laying around.

You hope she forgot something for dinner so you have to rush out in your hot rod and pick it up.

Your relatives find excuses not to come for dinner because they just know you are going to ask them to help lift the body off your car, one more time!

New recipe.........Turkey ala Flame Thrower.

The gravy tastes strangely like Marvel Mystery Oil.

Hubcaps make great serving platters.

If you delay going to the dinner, because you want to work in the shop ....at least until you get real hungry!

.... or if you "baste the turkey" with an old spray gun!

You rush through dinner so that are ready to take delivery of a new hot rod project.

Actually happened four years ago, bought the LaSalle at the Scottsdale Southwest Nats and the previous owner delivered it on Thanskgiving day.

you melt the marshmallows with map gas. you lift the pan of rolls out of the oven with a open end wrench. instead of holiday music playing softly in the background. it is born to be wild by steppenwolf. you have a large collection of hot rod catalogs on the coffee table with flags on all the pages from your christmas list.

You won't let the kids go home until they have checked all the fluid levels in their cars.

instead of spending it with friends and family your alone in the garage yanking the motor out and refreshening it it for next season,

instead of making sure the over is at 350* your in the shop checking your crankshaft centerline of your new lakewood scatter shield,

you prefer to row thru the gears and make vroom vroom noises instead of rowing thru the taters

Man. When were all you guys / gals over at my place??

Great thread.

If you choose to sit in front of the computer to check new post!! To make sure you don't miss some information you could use this afternoon.

p.s. Don't forget to look over the computer everyonce in awhile to see if the wife needs help.

instead of carvin the turkey , your carvin your floorboards to make the super shifter fit

your checking emails to see what part stores have the best Black Friday deals...
You use 50 wt oil to thicken the gravy
Your wife says, "I'm not pushing that stupid truck into the garage one more time..."

The turkey tastes vaguely like powder coating resin...OOPS didn't clean the oven after powder coating the headers last weekend.

My wife wants to know why the electric carving knife is so dull!
It works so good on shaping Styrofoam templates

And the laminated re-bond foam you make motorcycle seats out of.
