This one was nice and shiny, just like my truck. I bet your jaw would drop if you saw some of the cars we see on the regular down south. Where are you from? Do you live up north or somewhere with salt?

Last Friday a Trailblazer SS saw mine... he saw my tailgate anyway. I drive mine to work, to the store, all around town whenever the weather is nice. They are definitely rare but I think a lot of it depends on where you live. Down here we see them every now and then. Mostly 2nd gen though.

haha you're correct, I absolutely would hate a "performance" truck with a freaking V6. Do not care if the stock numbers are faster than a stock truck from decades ago. Who the hell compares stock numbers? If you want to be fast, you mod. I'd still pick the V8 all day every day. I'd...

Wow that really sucks about your HOA not allowing you to build a shop. My parent's neighborhood allows shops and detached garages as long as they match the "look" of the house. You might want to look really closely at the language in the contract and see if that could be allowed. A shop...

I'm in the middle of a bathroom remodel myself, and I've been researching the same thing. There's nothing wrong with using CBU (hardi board) this is what I did for my shower walls, then waterproofing membrane, and large format marble over that. It took some time, but it is very strong...

I love my '99 Cobra and I give zero ****s if someone thinks it is "slow" because no matter how "fast" they think they are, there is always someone else faster. I'm in my 30's with a wife and kids, I'm not interested in being the fastest guy on the street these days. I bought my car to cruise...

^^^ I agree with this. I have a '99 Corolla with a 3 speed automatic for a beater / commuter car. Every single thing works perfectly fine on that car. I cruise 80-85 mph on the highway twice a day and it just buzzes right along. I see countless other 90's Toyotas every day driving to and...

I drive my first gen Lightning quite a bit when the weather is nice, and it makes me smile every time. Mine just turned 140k. It's close to stock but has a punisher valve body and I'm pretty sure it has an aftermarket torque converter. Excellent shape well maintained runs perfectly. I found...

I wouldn't say he has an ignorant opinion, I'd say he has a (somewhat harsh) civilian's opinion.... are you only looking for responses from people in the military, or from civilians as well? My younger brother is a pilot in the Air Force, I am a civilian and I can see first hand how he has...

:D :DI love mine! It helps me take the free meat from my backyard and put it in my freezer. I'll take the best tool for the job every time. IDC if you (or my non-hunting neighbors) get a little salty, I like to eat good! ;)

I believe Tennessee allows the use of crossbows during archery season. I've hunted with firearms all my life... but I have a unique situation at my current house with a LOT of deer in a semi-residential area. We have a creek and woods in the backyard and I hunt near the edge of my property...

Like the guy said above, probably for hunting purposes. An interesting fact about open carry in NC as explained by my ccw instructor: If you are open carrying, you can walk into a bar and drink like a fish. However, this would be illegal if carrying concealed.

We have a 17 month old baby daughter and my wife works from home editing scientific journal articles. My daughter has already changed my life and made me into a better man, and I can't imagine life without her. The sacrifices you might make seem significant before you have kids but once they...

nah bro I used that voodoo magic I learned while working for an HVAC company... god some people... bless your heart. If he's got any charge at all he's gonna be absolutely fine jumping that switch for a minute to verify the compressor is operating correctly. It's the oil starvation that will...

You must not have read my post. There you go son. Sufficient charge FTW.
