  1. Maybe, but without the makes your eyes burn cinnamon flavoring............that said, on scent alone, I think I would rather have a shot of that over a hit of paint, especially if I can strain the gold out of it before drinking it
  2. That would explain the hyena like laughter then.
  3. That might depend on how sympathetic the cop is and how bad his/her own mother-in-law is.
  4. Honestly, I've heard the flake makes it more effective............do not want to know how all those tiny metal flakes affects the respiratory system when breathed in large quantities though.
  5. Got my Vaterra Ascender K5 Blazer built from a box of parts to a point that it looks like a truck as of this morning. Seen somebody complain about how bad the instructions for this kit were on R/C Crawler, but considering I did all but the wheel and tire assembly and install at night between 10pm and 3am over about a 5 day period with minimal problems, I'm guessing there were more issues with that builder than the kit.
  6. Huffing isn't just a kid's high, I remember seeing a couple mugshots on line of guys in their 30's or 40's who huffed silver and gold metallic paint, of which you could who huffed what by the color of their "Homer Simpson Stuble".
  7. That's a whole lot better than the ladies outhouse I've passed over a dozen times already, not as entertaining once I realized that I had actually seen that though!
  8. Well........some companies would probably prefer these people pay for their high.....
  9. In cases like this, they may not be trying to just keep it from minors and/or taggers, but also addicts trying to get high from the fumes and or hypoxia or lack of oxygen.
  10. A Hemi like my Sister's Challenger has or one of the naturally asperated SRT motors would be a pretty sweet swap into one of those Studes, but I can see the LS being pretty useful, especially the LS-A.
  11. Are you saying that the GPS is that innaccurate there G?
  12. Couple new ones, got to the gas station to fill up and had to wait at least 10 minutes for the people who parked non flex fuel vehicles at the only pumps that sell gas and E85 to come out of the store portion just to I could go and fill up. While I don't know how busy it was when they got there, there were several gas only pumps open to use. Noticed the same for the diesel and gas pumps too, especially the one next to the E85 pump! Then once I got on the tollway (cost me $2.60 in tolls, not going to whine about that though), there was a stretch that has car traffic allowed to run 70mph, but still restricts semi traffic to 55mph. The 10mph varience between 65 and 55 mph is bad enough, but why didn't they bump the semi limit to at least 60mph too?!
  13. "This is a great rendition of the Coupe , but with an LS in it what the point of using the Stud body?" Simple, those Studes seem to dominate that race, so these are Ultimate Street Car style tributes to the car,the race, and the country the race is held in.
  14. What's funny about those, from some of what I've read, if a self driving car that is driving it self and is in the wreck, it tends to be the other car's human driver's fault for Driving while Stupid!? I wouldn't be surprised if a self driving car could use these directions safely.......problem is being miles away from the actual address that you want to go to!
  15. Google Earth........ I'm going to top off my 200 before visiting Mom at the nursing facility she is now in for the time being and I was trying to map out a route using I-88 from the 2 stations across the street from each other that sells E85 and when I put one station in, it puts the dot 2-3 miles on the other side of the toll way from where the stations are. So I put in the address of the station across the street from the other one, now the dot is several miles south of those stations in the opposite direction of the toll way.........in the middle of a residential neighborhood?! This is the only thing that makes me wonder about self driving cars, people can screw stuff up in an epic manner on their own, let alone with with GPS, I seriously hope that they get this mapping thing worked out before they start putting self driving cars on the road for public sale.
  16. Very cool! https://www.yahoo.com/autos/s/gwa-bringing-back-studebaker-big-scary-way-120044630.html
  17. This, and no, I am not joking either!
  18. I will have to call Horizon Hobby tomorrow when I get to work, the middle cup shaped piece is supposed to be cut for 3mm threads at the square for the 3×8mm countersunk screw that holds the pinion gear in the rear axle and the one that came with my Ascender kit came un-tapped........good thing they're open on the weekends and I'm mainly building the truck when I can't sleep at night due to all of what's going on with Mom right now. http://s7d5.scene7.com/is/image/horizonhobby/VTR232072_a0?wid=1400&hei=778
  19. The lads from Mighty Car Mods already built their 1:1 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pV_rM2kW5YQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MiICQ4gDpH0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JO9vgdSnbeg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3phb0uF2sPQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> They really need to do an episode with the guys from Roadkill where they have General Mayhem running against Mod Max here............preferably on neutral ground, like downtown London, England..........kind of a "Hello from the colonies" special:flipoff:
  20. My cousin had a Versa that might have been a year old when she had a minor fender bender with it, which totalled it out (I think the airbags went off). She bought a '12 Chevy Cruze to replace it and quite frankly, I feel more comfortable having her in the Cruze than in that tin can Versa, especially since she also works in elder care and carts old folks around to appointments and such with it.
  21. Elvis is another artist that sang other people's songs, many of which were covers. Poke around on YouTube enough, just searching out his song names, and you'll see what I mean.
  22. Hands down, the Cash version is better. Cash's has that sound of a long, hard life that is now full of regrets, while Rezner's just makes him sound like a whiney goth.
  23. Honestly, I already prefer the Hudson and would prefer the Tucker over either of those. I think that the movie "Cars" probably helped with Hudson kit sales, and with the Tucker, if there were anniversary edition release of the movie which has to have been at least 20 years ago now, that would be a good time to get a kit out to market of the car.
  24. I had heard that Rezner was pissed by how good that Johnny Cash version came out. Cash completely owned that song in the way Whitney Houston did Dolly Parton's "I will always love you", and in Rezner's mind "took it away from him", IIRC.
