Hi everyone, I've been cruising around the HAMB for a week or so, and I really like what I've seen. Alot of good info. I got turned on to you all by a few HAMBers at the Pomona swap meet. I've been messing with old cars for a while now, but cant ever seem to finish anything. I dont have a real rod right now, sold it to put the down on a bigger backyard and garage, oh yeah, theres a house too. Right now I'm putting together a 58 Ford wagon to cart the yard apes around in. Maybe if I can sell all the POS's I have, I can buy another 32. We'll see. When I saw what happened to Mr. Wheelbarrow, I knew I was home. Hope to meet more of you, Thanks.

I hope he's not using it this way but...

It can be slang for a black person that sits in the yard all day. (I really don't think that's what he's talking about unless he owns slaves) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

It can also be slang for "children" (I think that's what he meant)

It's also another name from a breakdancing move "the double helix" a.k.a yard ape

And finally the name of a character in Beverly Cleary's famous "Ramona" stories for kids...

All this useless info and so little time..

Well I was born in D.C. and as only some of you know the black population of palmdale is high compared to the rest of the valley, is the reason I asked. but I assumed i was kids anyway.

Hi All, no a yard ape is not a racial thing, at least not for me. Just kids. DRR
