    3 to 4 weeks? That doesn't sound like much time. Must not be a severe fracture. 

    Because the Chinese Grand Prix was cancelled, we've had a 4 week wait for an F1 race!

    This weekend things get back to normal with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from Baku. Due to there being a sprint race today (Saturday), qualifying was completed on Friday. In their first runs of the final session, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc set identical lap times of 1:40.445. If these had stayed unchanged, Max would've taken pole as he set the time first, but Charles set a faster time on his last try to claim his third Baku pole in a row.

  2. Ireland's American car show missed a couple of years due to a certain virus, and wasn't at full strength last year, so yesterday was my first time attending for several years. There was a good turnout, and probably the most Mustangs I've ever seen together, from very early models up to one about a year old. Sadly, there was no General Lee, although I'm sure I saw the owner of the car that I sat in all those years ago. The Road Runner seen above was back again, and this year the Starsky and Hutch collection had grown to three cars, with the owner of one surprising people with its siren.

    Considering that I've been to a few of these events, and that Ireland is a relatively small place, I was pleased to see a lot of vehicles that I haven't seen before, including an A-Team van. Even a brief shower of rain couldn't spoil the enjoyment of my corn dog!

  3. I've never noticed the phrase before, but I've found a few references online.

    From urbandictionary.com:

    A midwestern colloquialism meaning that you could even drive a person who had no manner of sensory perception up the wall because you are beyond all natural levels of irritating.

    From lifeblogcarpediem.wordpress.com:

    Across the years, I’ve occasionally used an expression that is a fair assessment for someone who has the propensity to go on and on when you were actually done with the conversation fifteen minutes earlier. I describe it as: “She could drive a wooden man crazy.”

    From city-data.com:

    My Granny said, "I swan" which resembled "I declare!" She also said about something annoying, "That would drive a wooden man crazy." I use that one myself.

    Did y'all know Coy and Vance dolls were made from Bo and Luke using replacement heads? The cards remained labeled Bo n Luke.

    I don't think that information is on HazzardNet, but we had a member looking for a Vance doll in a 2012 thread, and that contains a link to an article at megomuseum.com which gives very detailed descriptions of the various Dukes dolls. It includes how they just made new heads for Coy and Vance and stuck with the original Bo and Luke packaging.

    I can't remember Easter ever being mentioned on the DOH.....except maybe the Easter bunny. Anybody know?

    The only mention I know is in 'The Law and Jesse Duke'. Rosco and Cletus drive through Hogg's Auto Paint Shop and get paint all over their patrol car. When Daisy sees it she says, "Rosco, where've you been with that car? Looks like you've been to an Easter egg coloring party."

    In more NASCAR news, it looks like Cale Yarborough is in need of our prayers. There isn't any information or at least that is what the article I read on my phone this morning said, but someone just tweeted that the toughest guy in NASCAR isn't doing good right now and is in need of prayers. (Or something like that.) It didn't sound too good. :(

    As you say, the information is scarce, but I found an article at foxnews.com. Here's a reminder of Cale's first appearance in Dukes:
