    Mel Brooks best movie

    My 17 y/o loves Mel Brooks movies. I'd been seeing a bunch of History of the World Part 1 clips on Instagram yesterday so I decided to watch that with him. He said it was dumb but he watched the whole thing with me. He doesn't sit around for 90 minutes with me for anything these days so thanks...

    The drivers championship is Kimi's to lose at this point but if anybody can make him sweat it's Max. I think he can at least make things interesting.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I asked this question over in the Rivian sub-reddit a couple weeks ago. Had somethings cooking in the background to where I was going to start putting a significant amount of miles on my personal vehicle compared to the 8 mile daily commute I have now. There were two camps of people... Ones that...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    As long as VW and Amazon keep dumping money into Rivian I think they'll last long enough to land on their feet. Lucid is dead even if they don't realize it. Slate seems like it's an American Kei truck except it's less capable for more money.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    While I'd agree with you that 95% of people, myself included don't need a truck that tows 10k lbs a mid sized truck (that this is competing against) isn't unheard of for tow capacities in the the 6000-7000 lbs range. Now I can see this thing being a hit with fleet sales selling to autoparts...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I haven't seen much noise here about the Slate given they announced pricing yesterday. I don't know how I feel about this thing. I guess we'll see if there's really a market for a bare bones truck with 200ish miles of range that can only tow 2000 lbs...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    If you think you need a 3rd row look at a grand highlander with the regular hybrid not the max. My wife has been driving one of those around and it gets almost as good of gas milage as her Rav4 hybrid did. We're in the low 30's with that thing no matter what.

    HAHAHA I knew it. Ferrari doing Ferrari things. I actually might buy a few shares. It's sitting at $16 and some change right now. If that R2 is as popular as it seems I could see that stock taking off.

    I'm going to be in Okoboji the week of July 19th. I might stop by and take a look.

    I might be interested in that. The cracks are the concern with them. Those FE engines all really like to form cracks in the lifter valley.

    I have a soft spot for a 390. My grandparents had a 64 Galaxy convertible with one and I have a lot of good memories of that car. My great grandpa also had a 64 Galaxy 4-door with the 390 he drove me to school in every day in elementary school.

    It's definitely not going to hurt anything. I just haven't had much luck with that stuff myself.

    I would recommend spending a couple days on the front end of your trip exploring Switzerland. I've been all over Europe and it's one of my favorite countries.

    That stuff kind of sucks but a lot of times you can just buff out those scratches. You'll need a power buffer and a little bit of knowledge to do it though.

    Ok more mustang pictures. First picture is what it looked like when I bought it. The car had been in a fire and the roof was in bad shape. The guy I bought it off of had cut it off, and found a donor for a good roof but never fully attached it. The floor pans where also in pretty rough...

    Don't hate me too much but I grew up a Mizzou fan. I wanted a bright color that wasn't red and I had that combo in my head since I was about 16 so when I painted it I picked the color that was in my mind for over 10 years at that point. If I was starting over though it would probably be a...

    I'm surprised thread this hasn't got more traction. I'll post mine up. I bought this 1969 Mach 1 Mustang in 2005. It's an original 390 big block car. Was working on it pretty steady before I got married but didn't have a place of my own to work on it so it sat in my grandparents shed and I was...
