Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
That Barber museum looks great, will check it out someday! Slot cars were a good time, spent many hours racing with my cousin

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
We do have some beautiful old buildings in Jackson! But I got on here tonight to be sure you didn’t get shot or robbed hanging out down there ... just kidding ... but seriously😬! Hate it didn’t work out for us to meet up, but with work it’s hard to get away sometimes.
You made a good route going to Barber Motorsports. That place is definitely amazing, and since it’s bike collection changes regularly we try to visit every few years.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
Man I’m jealous, that old car city looks awesome! Looks like you’re still having the time of your life, maybe you spend too much time with the hillbillies in Arkansas? Those duck tape skills appear to be advanced to me... I would know I’ve got a degree in duck tape and bailing wire

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
It would be hard for me to explain this place
That is the owner He grew up in the junkyard His ‘mommy and daddy’ started in 1931 Very nice man That is more of an artist than junkyard owner |

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
Wonder how many of those cars in post 238 ran shine? You’re not THAT far from the hills of Appalachia...

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
Old car city used to be a thriving junkyard, unfortunately, they don't sell parts off of any of the cars in the yard anymore. There's a bunch of good c10 parts left that I can see!
I'm not too far from there, but still haven't seen it in person. Might have to go over there some time this summer

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
I can see how it's cool in an artistic sort of way, but I get bummed out at a place like that. I want to save all of the ones I like.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
These vehicles have already been saved
Most of these cars would have been in the crusher long ago Once he’s gone, I’ll bet this place gets wiped off The face of the earth The way I see it The guy is a pretty good business man too I’ve been to so many museums They all cost roughly $10-15 Went to this one that is right down the street https://tellusmuseum.org/galleries-more/ I’ll bet it was in the hundreds of millions to build With dozens of employees walking around Old car city doesn’t claim to be a museum It doesn’t cost him a penny He has one red neck employee (that’s nice too) And he charges $30 if you want to take pictures When I do the math, he seems to be an artist With a good business sense |
