  1. You might want to think about how you're going to kill the animal too. Car hits often leave maimed animals to die slowly and painfully, sometimes taking days. What would you do with a deer with one or two broken legs and no other serious injury?
  2. I didn't know that. Frankly, that makes me furious. I'd like to work a "hunter" like that over with a baseball bat.
  3. Love it. I had a '62 413, bought really really cheap in about '77. Daily driver, black / red interior. Borrowed a VW camper from a friend for a vacation trip, loaned him the 413 while I was gone. He was a moron, drove it into the back of something at around 40mph. Killed the car...not worth fixing back then. Who knew. Wish I had it today.
  4. There are probably 20 online articles citing the Uirapuru as the inspiration for the Jensen Interceptor's styling. Of course, as in many things online, much is mindless repetition of "facts" read elsewhere...online. This short video segment compares the two cars from various angles. I think there can be no doubt the big Jensen borrowed a little, though cleaned it up a lot.
  5. That's just beyond pathetic...
  6. Nice video here of one of our hard-working, responsible, well-paid (with great benefits) postal employees doing what a few in every profession do best... http://www.news.ruralinfo.net/2014/05/video-inappropriate-postal-behavior-usps-throws-package-in-rain-while-im-home.html
  7. Put a mower and a chain-gun on that, and you'd really have something useful.
  8. Hmmm...I always thought he was just a Mason...
  9. Man, I haven't seen one of these for decades, and all of those were gluebombs. Nice job. That dual-Paxton blow-through setup would sure look good on something...
  10. The Little Engine that REALLY could ? Rails...we don' need no stinking rails...
  11. Beautiful work, Steve.
  12. One seriously flashy car. Beautiful.
  13. Great concept, clean execution. This is one I'd like to see done full-scale.
  14. That's not a toy, sport. And people in general are only too happy to post every detail of their personal lives online. The "man" doesn't have to dig very hard to get anything. Privacy hasn't been "taken" from the American people...it's been mindlessly given away.
  15. If it's supposed to be raised above the surface, 1/4 round or 1/2 round styrene strip. Carefully.
  16. No worries mate. It's just Chinese heavy-metal sludge from recycling American electronics mixed in with the plastic to stretch it a bit. It's only a little toxic, really.
  17. I agree, but where there's a well thought out deer population management program in place, and the animals culled are actually eaten (as opposed to being put in the freezer 'til the meat is so old or freezer-burned as to be inedible), I don't have a problem with hunting (though I know a few "hunters" who'd pee their pants if anything pointed a gun at them).
  18. Nice technique. Quick too, if you use a Dremel for rough shaping after the glue sets hard.
  19. Nope. Taking the bike (pedal variety) next week.
  20. Interesting. I wonder how many consumers are totally turned off, just like you were, by this marketing "good idea".
  21. The A-10 Warthog lawnmower would help to keep my neighbors in line, for sure. (A-10...best damm ground-support aircraft in the history of flight)
  22. At least some of it became venison too...mmm...deer burgers!
