Re: Get Well Soon, Ron
Glad to have you back in the fold! Life is ridiculously fragile and precious. The scare you must have given your family, and all of us internet family members too! Take care of yourself as well as you do your cars and you should be just fine!

Help Horn Hospital!
Hey guys, sorry I've been absent! After having to sell my shark, then having to sell off my shark stuff, I got into a depresses state. Eliminating most of my sharky friends, except a very close few, Ken (horn hospital) has been one of them. He opened up to me and let me know about the his ailment, c...

Re: Coping With Loss
These responses are exactly why I love this group. It's almost as if the Big Coupe mindset is a much needed break from the rest of the internet. It makes me grateful to be able to open up and share with y'all and hear some of your stories. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a place on the interne...

Coping With Loss
The holidays are a really tough time for a lot of us, okay, most of us. I, for one, have lost just about everything except my health in the last two years, including my sixer. How do you sixer dudes cope with the holidays in a non-six related way? It used to be that I could hop in my car and drive m...

An interesting lot of goodies
I sat here for about ten minutes trying to find a good "pick me" subject for this post, and I came up with nothing. Damn. Anyhoo, here's the story, I got my shark, loved my shark, went through a separation and ended up with three boxes full of really obscure objects that were meant to go i...

Howdy, y'all. After selling my sixer, wrecking my One Series, and hopping over to the dark side of Honda ownership, I've had a itch that I can't seem to satisfy...automotive excitement. So...I've created my own website to try and harness the enthusiasm that I used to have towards my shark. I'm tryin...

Re: Wheel Rehab?
Nailed it, it was a Nissan Murano. After doing some research and talking to a few people in the wheel business they call it "Hyper Silver" paint, which is ridiculous. The whole concept of the paint being put together with four different parts (or something along those lines) and it's not r...

Re: Hack Mechanic sorts out the Shark
Seriously, Ken, you're such a cool cat, I wouldn't doubt if Rob would send you an autographed copy if you asked nice. Really.
Or...us here on the big coupe forum could kick in a few bits and get you one.
Or...you can just wait until my next book comes out.

Re: Hack Mechanic sorts out the Shark
Ken, if you need a hotline to Rob, I've got it. We've been correcting each others grammar since, well, a few years ago. He's a solid guy, love him to death.
On a side note, if you like his hack mechanic shenanigans, you'll love him as a singer songwriter. Check him out!

Howdy fellas, it's been a long strange trip, and the sixer is in good hands...although not mine...as of right now. I have a conundrum. I know ya'll know your stuff and have sage advice, sometimes warranted, sometimes not, but I need some help. Long story short, I'm doing automotive detailing profess...

Actually. No.
The "It's Back" was more about me having my One Series back from the shop, but it wasn't fixed right.
I'll be back here, as much as possible.

Never enough.
My advice, you can never have too much insurance. Case in point, my One Series got rearended and it became living hell dealing with not the insurance, but the body shop. The greatest thing about it was that State Farm was almost like border collies chasing the shop around to make things right. At th...

The shark gets a new interior
Before I went all the way to California to pick up my shark, I new there was a bit of work to do in the interior. Mr. Bee went through the effort to find some replacement seats and interior bits and pieces. Give us one Sunday and we can make some magic happen. http://nikkiweed.wordpress.com/when-is-...

I didn't make it to Pink's sadly. I have a long horror story as to why. It involves Drew Carey, Whole Foods and four bloody fingers. I missed out, maybe next time - and I assure all of the West Coasties there WILL be a next time. Perhaps in the shark again. I'm out to lunch on the thought of naming ...
