  1. Out anyone who has a dangerous, vicious, and probably rabid pet squirrel.
  2. "Yours is mine, and mine is mine, and ours is mine" was the worldview of one of my exes.
  3. Lot scarier to be in a convoy not protected by a few.
  4. Life choices made when we're young and largely ignorant don't always look so good when looking back through the eyes of wisdom.
  5. Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Loved those things from the first time I saw one light up, still do. EDIT: I'd built Monogram's M34 "Eager Beaver" 6X6 as a kid, and when I saw similar-looking trucks fitted out with armored beds, multiple .50s and even M134 chain guns salvaged from helos, I was like "C O O L !!!"
  6. 11:15 PM EST Nov. 6, 2024 Still intermittently hanging and pix won't load. Sometimes requires closing out and re-logging-on to get it to work at all. Yes, my caches are clear and I'm using the latest browser versions. No offense, but if somebody brought me a car to fix and I couldn't do any better than this after this much time, I'd seriously consider shooting it.
  7. DING DING DING DING !!! WE HAVE A WINNER, FOLKS !!!
  8. Bumper-car rides ain't what they used to was, because OMG OMG OMG they're DANGEROUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. Cute little trucks just might send the signal that you're not trying to compensate for anything else that's little.
  10. "Bigger isn't always better" said the guy who had a tiny JDM pickup.
  11. Lotsa stuff. Pretty good day...so far.
  12. Natural place for well-dessicated mice or rats in there too...and spiderwebs.
  13. Looking really good, fantastic ref pix too. Somehow I missed it earlier, but I have a few of these to get to, and REALLY appreciate your posting this.
  14. People will be people, very often irrational, illogical, and willfully ignorant. https://bigthink.com/neuropsych/people-choose-willful-ignorance/
  15. Me is happier and more hopeful this morning than me has been in some time.
  16. Mirror mirror on the wall, who's that geezer looking back at me?
  17. "Bible" is going to be a tough one to use without ruffling somebody's feathers.
  18. Cool tool. I understand entirely. And it'll probably outlast 5 "modern" plastic ones with undersized motors and bearings.
  19. Norris the Cat was Morris's little brother, and had no desire to be a celebrity.
  20. Tomorrow at this time we'll know more.
  21. I have some MREs from the late '60s or early '70s. Make offer. No lowballers. I know what I got !!!!!!!! https://mremountain.com/collections/vintage-mres-and-rations?view=boost-pfs-original
  22. "Warden Cleaver, we wasn't tryin' ta 'scape, honest; we was jus sharpenin' our hol-diggin' skills so's we could git payin' jobs when we git out an not hafta re-sort to a life-a-crime agin."
  23. If you're looking for interesting Pantera customs, this one-off dubbed 7X was designed by Tom Tjaarda as a show-car. The factory did this major facelift in 1990, with a Ferrari F40-style wing, and several were built for customers as late as '97, maybe later.
  24. Cumbersome Cucumber is the mascot for the annual Salad Bowl game.
  25. Absofrigginlutely not stock. Never a factory option or race part either. I specialized in Panteras for years, and have done just about everything that can be done to one. They're not Lambo parts either. Just somebody's one-off dorko mod. The typical mod is to replace the quarter window glass with scoops. The gills immediately behind the quarter-windows are sometimes replaced with scoops, but it's not a common mod because it requires cutting into important structure, in an area where Panteras are notoriously weak.
