I wanna grow up and be a weatherperson.......

These are the same people that told Noah "just a little rain in the morning but mostly sunny this afternoon!" -
8 second electric Ford Mustang

When some police departments started using Tesla's as police cars, the report was the battery only lasted about 3 minutes at full throttle. The Bugatti will empty the tank in 12 minutes at full throttle. The Bugatti can be refueled in a matter of minutes.......the Tesla will take several hours. That acceleration is nice but I don't want to have to plug my car in and wait several hours so I can drive back home. -
I have a good friend in the Clearwater area (transplant) who feels the need to ping me when they temp here drops well below freezing so the only way I can get back is hurricane season. I asked him if he had enough supplies for Elsa (beer for him and food for his greyhound). This is the forecast for the hurricane.....well about 30 forecasts actually. How many of us can go into our bosses office and show them the projected outcome for future project looking like this.....and still have a job? Years ago, there was a local morning show that commented about one of the new stations in the area having an attractive weatherperson......they said if you are going to give me complete inaccuracy, at least give me something to look at!

No they aren't considered a kit so no discount. The Motor Max are $10 @ WalMart. I have a few of the C8's but more of the Jeep Gladiator, Dodge Rams and most of the colors of the Dodge Challenge Hellcat

Hobby Lobby had a medium blue and the neon yellow C8 in 1/24, but they did away with the 40% of coupon so at $20/each, they are still on the shelf.

I've spent the last six months trying to collect the life insurance proceeds of my father's policy. They said they need yet another form completed and offered to fax it to me. I said "ma'am, I'm living in the 21st century, can you e-mail it to me??" -

The NHL Golden Knights are getting in on the action as well...... In a statement on their website from VP and Global Head of NFTs Joe Conyers, the Golden Knights stated that the franchise is “always exploring new, innovative ways to engage our fans. We view NFTs as an emerging space that has generated significant interest and momentum in recent months.” Engage our fans? I would have thought 'gouge' would be a better term. -
I got a call today from a 1/800 number that I mistakenly answered. The lady went through her perky intro, including that it was a call from AT&T and asked how I was doing. I said the Valtrax wasn't working today and 'the boys' are burning today. When I was almost finished, she said 'great' and went into her story at that point I was laughing too hard to carry on and hung up as I now knew it was a pre-recorded message.

What did you see on the road today?
HomerS replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
After going to a Cars & Coffee this a.m., my son and I were going trying to find the Sam's Club, he shouts out "Dad, there's the General Lee!" Like the dogs when you open the fridge, he has my full attention. He kept an eye on it while I found the turn road (shot the wrong way through a bank lot and small retail plaza) and caught up with it at a small plaza where the driver was going to grab lunch. He said it's about 90% authentic (no roll bar so the kids could use the back seat).....down to an operating CB radio and the Dixie horn. He said he ordered the General's items but wanted it to be more true so everything was painted on before the clearcoat. I don't think the Duke boys were running a 440 with dual quads. -
I have an uncle that has been divorced six times. After #4, we stopped learning names. I asked him if he kept a divorce attorney on retainer.... I lack the filter between the brain and the mouth so there was far worse comments but if I share I will get banned here

One of the local radio stations these little space filler between songs before giving the station call letters...... I was invited give the best man speech at a friends second wedding.....is it wrong to start it off "Welcome back everyone!"?

My son is going to Lake Erie with the school's fishing club. Considered renting a car until the reservation page had their cheapest ride (Mitsubishi Mirage) at $100/day, even booking it a week ahead of time. Seriously?

Our neighbor two doors down and I have a pact.....if one catches the other mowing the grass in black socks and sandals, sniper rifle and head shot! My dad passed away four years ago from dementia. My oldest son just graduated college (BA) debt free and the other son starts high school in the fall. There is a magnum of champagne in the downstairs fridge when the younger one is out of the local school system (it's not him....it's the new way of learning that I just don't understand). I'm also stepdad to four furry ones who are currently crashed in the living room snoring as the doggie Xanax only does so much to help them get through the storms of last night.

Go over to the office supplies aisle and grab a blue marker......underline the misspelling like their phone does for them.

Nope......there was a whole other paragraph on that as well! -

Better known as Herbert Ruggles Tarlek, the sales manager for WKRP in Cincinnati. "Somewhere out there, there's a Volkswagen with no seats."

I went out to Ollie's website and filled on their survey and told them the stuff that happened at my local stores. Surprisingly I got a call from the area manager who blamed it on shipping issues/staffing issues at the warehouse and that they track any pre-sales to prevent stuff not being available. I said that isn't happening as the one pic I posted was taken at the store opening the day the sale started. She said it's the Amazon sellers that are hoarding them and they try to limit them to no more than half a case (yeah, that's not happening either). The second store had nothing and when I asked the clerk she admitted to pulling some for her dad but he didn't want the one rig (I told her I would take it). I said the Camaro and Escalades linger for months after the add and this time there wasn't even an empty box. I invited her to visit this forum subject to see how widespread it is. Point blank, I wanted one of each on the cars as I have a teenager that I actually talked into attending the local model car club meeting (he seemed to be into it!) He is learning airbrushing so at $10/each, I will get him several kits to experiment on.

A couple years ago, I bought a handful of built models at a local auction. It's nice combination of drag cars, stock cars (including a first gen Ford Fusion COT stock car) and police cars. Most of the drag cars have been traded off/sold but still have a few. Looking the police cars, I'm going to turn the 74 Impala back into a regular coupe as will the 71 Cyclone (need to get stock seats as the builder user low back bucket racing seats?). The 76 LTD will be converted back to a street version of the last new car my grandparents bought. The 56 Buick is a resin, no glass...I wonder if it was cast off the Maisto kit? I believe the 74 Chevrolet sedan is a Modelhaus release. No clue on the four door Mopar. There's another half dozen 70 Ford Galaxie patrol cars not pictured here.
