  1. This is a true statement. They opened a new Buc-ees in Warner Robins, GA around Thanksgiving. I have passed it 4 times going back and forth to FL since then and it has been an epic clusterfuck each time. There is no way some things aren’t getting spread there based on the number of vehicles in the parking lot.
  2. Those are the tax rates, but you missed the 20% QBI deductions and the 21% corporate rates. The QBI deduction itself was much more than a blip for the wealthy. Those in the highest bracket are now paying 29.6% on pass through income which is how they have tailored most of their income. That means their rate has dropped from 39.6 to 29.6 which is way more than a blip.
  3. Following the various threads on here and the old site, I don’t remember seeing any discussion of him screwing over some guys on here. I thought there was quite a bit of support when he closed Galveston. May have missed something though.
  4. Good to know. Thought I read somewhere the 03 was worth picking up. I’m going to get the JD more out of nostalgia than to have a good bottle. My refined palette still enjoys JD. It’s what I grew up on. They also have a ton of Buffalo Trace 1.5’s, so I may restock before the craze hits here.
  5. Which of the 2020 Bookers is worth buying? Local place has all 3 for retail. They also have a couple JD Sinatra Selects. Think I may have to get one of them as well.
  6. Now you’re just being a dick.
  7. Going back to the beach. We’ll leave the day school gets out and head back a week or so before it starts back. My spoiled ass kids are already complaining because they want to travel again, but we’re probably done with it though. There is something nice about not dealing with airplanes, hotels, AirBnB, tourists and everything else that came with it. We started the conversation on getting a small place in the mountains to split up the seasons and go for the winter breaks, but I think we’ll go with some long term rentals and see how it goes.
  8. The Fox setup is an adjustable 2 inch lift with the 2.0’s and 3 inch with the 2.5. It’s more than a shock upgrade as it is a full coil over lift. If he’s going 4-6 inches then it’s a different discussion.
  9. A full lift will not, but a replacement of stock components with a leveling kit or small lift with something like a Fox/Icon setup will. Typically in that size range it is the increase in tire size/weight along with a more aggressive tread pattern that is more detrimental than the lift itself. I’ll take the Fox 2.0 setup over the stock setup all day other than knowing you have to deal with rebuilds.
  10. Wow, the balls on them to run that play. Amazing.
  11. Going to be a good game. It will probably be the first game I’ve watched all the way through this year. It’s an interesting year with the old guard of Brady/Brees/Rodgers playing QB on the NFC side and the new guard of Mahomes/Baker/Lamar/Allen playing QB on the AFC side.
  12. I assumed numbers matching at the number you mentioned. I would still be interested but at less than that. If they look to sell the group and you still want the Coronet, I may be interested in throwing out a package number if I could get more info.
  13. It would probably take a package offer to get it done. Estates don’t typically want to sell them individually. After further thought, I might be interested in a package offer and you can buy the Coronet out of it if they are interested and they all check out.
  14. Might have an interest in that GTX if you get back in the door with them depending on specifics about it.
  15. Damnit, going to have to keep an eye on this one. I never realized what a racquet Mecum is. I registered to bid in the upcoming Muscle Car City auction and it’s a $200 bidder fee and a 12% buyer’s premium. There are a couple of Chevelles I’m keeping my eye on.

    Golf Cart Mods

    Not a swap, but we bought a new cart with lithium batteries. It’s night and day different than regular batteries. Zero maintenance, more power, ability to charge at any charge level without damaging batteries, etc have been a significant improvement. The charger is different, but I think it was about $300 for an extra charger so the price of them isn’t bad.
  17. ERC has been opened up for PPP participants. That could be sizable credit numbers depending on the timing of PPP funding for some of you. It’s a colossal pain in the ass the way they have done it, but what isn’t with any of the tax laws the last 10 months.
  18. I cannot recommend enough getting a Jeep and doing Arches/Canyonlands that way with kids. Most of the hikes at Arches are short and you can see them from any vehicle. However, it’s nice to just be able to cut off down a trail and see where you end up. The maps are well marked and the rental places give you a lot of information on where you can and can’t go.
  19. Using Park City as a base camp will be pretty well impossible unless you are going to just drive out for an overnight stay in different areas a couple of times. It would also be worth it to split it up and spend 2-3 days or so there and 3-4 days park hopping. With kids that age, you could easily do Arches/Canyonlands out of Moab or Zion/Bryce out of somewhere in that area. I preferred the Moab area myself, but that was just because it had been on my list for a long-time to rent a Jeep and go trail riding there.
  20. Shorter wheelbase negatively affects towing. I’m not looking for several feet shorter, but the 6 inches or so they have grown over the last 5-10 years feels like more than it measures out to be. Let me see what one looks like with a little less room in the back seat and/or a shorter bed and if I give up 1000 pounds of towing capacity I’ll survive. Checked the towing numbers and the regular cab has a higher towing capacity than the super cab.
  21. I run a lot of highway miles (30k+ a year on each of our vehicles) and still have to visit Memphis/Nashville somewhat regularly for work. I’m not having to mess with parking garages much any more, so the 3rd time may be the charm. I do wish they made a shorter wheelbase version.
  22. Such a strange sequence of events. Did the guy driving jump out when the boat broke loose without the SUV in park? It seemed to be going too fast for that though.
  23. I don't know how he deals with parking it. Talk about a land yacht. F350 dually with quad cab and long bed. The last two times I’ve traded, I’ve walked in with a plan to buy an F250 and walked out with another F150. The new ones are just too long for everyday use where I still have to drive on occasion.
  24. A cabinet full of bottles and as usual I’m drinking High West Ryes (Double and Rendezvous). I’m not sure when the last time I finished a different bottle was, but I know I’ve finished a couple of these the last few weeks. Something about them keeps me going back to them. I could have saved a ton of money by just being only these.
  25. I didn’t even think about there being 2 models, but it was definitely the Sport. It had the slanted rear side window and looked like the new Defender. I’ll keep an open mind until I see the larger one. I have an order on a low optioned 2 door still.
