  1. Building the engine. should be a stump puller
  2. I’ve been busy almost every day since I got my car back, engine bay is detailed and painted, door latches fixed, rear end sorted out and today I started working on the headliner. One a tight schedule to get it ready by late September.
  3. The reason they got into the SEC was as bait and a crack in the Big 12. I don’t think the Big 10 takes them. Maybe the PAC 12.
  4. He'd blend in with the meth addicts
  5. Dude, It's no shirt, no shoes, no dice!
  6. Today was the big day. Now I’ve got some assembly work to do. Let me know if you need enclosed car transportation. This was awesome and stayed dry in the rain. It look like a full sized Hot Wheels car
  7. This reminds me of that Japanese game show called "old Enough" where the moms send off toddlers to walk to the market and bakery and get ramen or cake for dinner. It would have been a lot cooler if they had the hidden cameras on this kid the whole way.
  8. I think it might be a little more pragmatic than that. I think they want to take away his ability to do it to other people. It might look vindictive, but he lacks remorse and taking away InfoWars and any capital he could use to rebuild another media company goes a long way to keep him from doing this again.
  9. Installing headlights. Over 30 parts per side. Check out the reflection
  10. I think the stakes are higher as they work though new grifts so that it affects more people directly. We've always had corruption in things like import licenses, liquor or gaming. The problems started accelerating when we got into areas that were for public good and privatizing taxes: Defense became a huge deal during WWII and then during the cold war with the whole military industrial complex. This didn't hurt anyone except more taxes. Then we had the war on drugs and privatization of jails and the profit incentive was more people in jail for petty crimes, now there were classes of people directly affected by this policy. We moved on to making traffic horrible so that we would buy off on privatization of roads with toll roads build with public bonds that transferred the risk to taxpayers and profits to corporations. Privatization and deregulation of our electric providers means the focus is on profit instead of providing a service so when the power goes down and rates skyrocket we get to use more taxes to line the pockets of the corporations that don't have the best interest of the public at the top of their priority list. Now we're doing the same thing with education by intentionally making it bad so that people will buy off on vouchers to enrich out of state business interests. So the more they dig into the "for the public good" areas to privitize things that are really public services the more it affects the population.
  11. Maybe she wanted two dudes at the same time. Watch your cornhole.
  12. Another incompetent Trump appointee, for life. The competent ones quit or were fired for doing their jobs and the rest are corrupt ass kissers, lost their ability to practice law or convicted of crimes.
