little sayings on the back of drag cars.

That blonde sure got around, apparently she was here in the 70`s as well (West Coast Canada)

 

One of the top fuel teams (don't remember which one) had "Send lawyers, guns, and money" on the back of their car. Probably has to do with the last line of the Warren Zevon song.

 

Fictious race team: "Dewey, Cheatam & Howe"....(sound it out.)

 

Around here "UPPER U-S" was popular back in the '60's

 

Leakie I guess I spelled the last name wrong but thats
what I mean
Yep

 

I had on the rear of my Mini Cooper SCCA road race car:

I may be slow, but I'm ahead of you!

 

I remember an older (59 or so) corvette that said on the trunk in big letters, "When the yellow comes on, I will be gone".

And a certain 4spd 55 chevy that had, "I'd rather eat worms than drive an automatic" LOL.

 

On the back of my "White Lightnin " recreation. Southern style 55 Chevy gasser.

 

Because golf only takes one ball

 

"Gone like cool breeze"

There was a I believe it was a ford fairlane that was called "Color Me Gone"

 

Dude... that was the Three Stooges.

Correction;
"Dewey, Burnham, and Howe" was used in an episode of the Stooges, not Cheatem. However, somewhere along the lines the name was changed to Cheatem on all the merchandising following the skit, such as posters, coffe mugs, etc.

 

Did she drive a Canary Yellow Vette???.... We heard that one also here in Michigan..

 

The one I knew often drove a Corvette but was famous locally for pulling her brother out of his 409 Impala at the local hangout and calling out the guy in the car that just beat him and going out and blowing his doors off. If it had wheel on it she could drive it and usually better than the guy who owned it, especially her brother. Last I heard she had turned cowgirl and lived in north central Wa. She didn't have anything written on her cars though but was known to put herself up against a guys cash in a race.

When I worked for Frank Weaver Pontiac in Waco, Tx in the 70's my boss's son had a 69 Camaro super stocker convertible that had "Some men have become moderately wealthy drag racing, they were rich to begin with." I may have missed a word or two in the phrase but it pretty well says it all.

 

There is a time and place for everything, and first place aint for you.

Second place, is the first looser

Losers talk about luck, Winners go home an f*ck the prom queen.

That just from the top of my head.

I wanted to put a sticker on mine saying; Have you hat your ass kicked by a Volvo lately.
But that takes some wrenching ;-)

 

Here is mine on my 64plymouth one is for the batt cutout switch the other says it all.

 

I used to have Ronnie who on the back of my altered wheelbase chevy II, but I took it off because of too many people not knowing what it meant.

 

its not how fast you go......its how you go fast!

 

I'm having lettering done on the back of the Austin that reads, "not an Anglia!"
Seems everyone who looks at it asks me if it's an Anglia.

 

Found on reservation dump!

 

"For a Fist Full of Dollars"!

"Nine-Lives"!

"Twister"!

"Lead Zepplin"!

"James Gang"

"Not your Daddy's Oldsmobile"!

"Sky High"

 

Knew a guy that had a 64 or 65 Plymouth that said "Sorry My Friend" on the back. There was always a story (and I've heard it from quite a few older guys) about a blond that street raced a 70's Vette here in Jersey with "If You Can Beat Me, You Can Eat Me" lettered on the back.

Some of you guys complain about spelling Nazis but this is an excellent example. If its spelled 'blond', thats a guy but if its spelled 'blonde', thats a woman.

 

"FarFaKnout"

 

On my Nova Gasser...

 

That is a bitchin car

 

she must have traveled ,cause she was in so cal too. lol

 

There use to be a woman in my area that had a rather quick Corvette that her and har husband built for street racing. On the back of her Vette it said "If you can beat me you can eat me"!

I really don't know if she ever got beat, but rumorville said that she did and supposively the car was never seen again.

 

Olds Cutlas used to cruise here with "If God don't getcha this mutha will...".

 

"Hey could ya give me a push?" I saw that on the back of an altered at a car show once.

 

On the back of Pat and Walt Austin's Alcohol Funny Car, "you can't put a price tag on a good time!"

It was my HAMB tag line before this thread.

 

I remember an all steel turtle deck T with 14x15 rear meats.

It had "Here, Kitty Kitty" on the back.
