Welcome to the forum!

Wanna race! I had to do a bit of cleaning to be able to take this pic. I can't even say how long I've had it, but I love the way it sounds.

Well done!

I love it!

So true!!

Very cool!

Sweet!

Welcome to the forum Mal!

Bought the 99 S-10 Extreme kit. Looks good at first glance. I'm glad the side skirts are separate, I'm building mine for my brother with a 98 so I'll be doing away with those. As a result, I'll have to design & print a new rear bumper. I may keep the front bumper with spoiler though. That would be more surgery that I'm comfortable with.

I saw that on the "just in" list and thought about it. Nice!

Add to all that, I just read an article where a woman was told by her PCP that her EKG showed she'd had a heart attack and that she should schedule an appointment with a cardiologist. After the cardio looked at the result himself he told her she was fine, and that her PCP took the word of the AI w/o even looking at her EKG. Worse yet, here in Ohio we are part of a test program to use AI to screen people on regular Medicare to determine unnecessary procedures. How's that?

The woman used AI for that vid and you can see the flaws, too. Her eyes randomly glance about at inappropriate times. Her mouth goes into odd shapes at times. Still, a very good copy of herself. There is an AI bubble coming. Both in terms of business impact, and the stock market. Right now the promise AI productivity gains is fueling investment in AI tech, which is keeping the stock market high while the broader economy suffers. If investors "get the memo" and realize that they won't get the returns they expect, they'll start putting their money elsewhere, and the market won't handle it well IMHO.

My daughter used to do transcriptions up until last month when the industry dried up. Almost everyone is using AI transcriptions, with zero human checks. She's now doing AI follow-up in a different field and making more money.

Very nice! I recently pulled my old 69 Camaro from the shelf for a redo because its falling apart. You give me some nice ideas!

Yes I do! I remember them cheaper than that. My brother and I used to buy one each with our allowance, and I never got $13 allowance. 😅

You are correct, my post actually should have been that a Tesla WOULD have hit the kids. 😜

Cool project!

Awesome!

Beautiful job! Well done!

Yup, gotta be the best end of summer in NEO I've had the pleasure of living through!

Welcome to the forum Evan!

Its not just skilled trades that this happens to. I've had rental property, and everyone thinks that you're overcharging them. They don't look at insurance, maintenance, & time spent in court kicking out those who won't/can't pay. I also did computer repair on the side and I can tell you that people devalue your labor, and your knowledge. They can't do it, but they don't want to pay those who can. Those same people will pay more to live somewhere with a faceless, nameless investor runs a multi-suite complex where they never fix anything, and never complain once. Or they'll call Geek Squad to fix their computer and pay more for labor, plus the upcharge for unneeded software. That's the major reason I don't sell my CAD files, I simply don't have desire to deal with people's BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH.

Parts box build that I started years ago. The engine & chassis are the only things glued together, but the engine isn't glued in. Not sure about the radiator. It looks too small. This build is way out of my comfort zone, which is why its taking so long.
