  1. NPD Is the best place, better delivery times, no backorder hassles, better customer service, the owner owns a 69 Boss 302 and is active on the car forums. Only go to CJPP is not available at NPD.
  2. @Lhorn Nice! Single cab and long bed, just as God intended.
  3. Lol, and the Lady on the left made her dress out of the communist China flag.
  4. There is a good point here. We’ve talked about Russia winning when they had the support of England or the US in the past, but when was the last time Russia won a war they started? Napoleon - They were invaded WW I - Got into the war because Serbia was one of it’s biggest allies and was supported by England & France WWII - Invaded by Hitler who was their ally at the time and bailed out by the US In each of those cases Russia ended up with more territory than they started with but they were invaded first. In each case they could use the existential threat to unite the country but now they are trying to make up “Nazi” threats and it is not motivating the troops. As best we can tell their main motivations are washing machines, iPhones, toilets and getting out of prison.
  5. If the measurement is how many pushups they can do then I agree.
  6. This is the most expensive pocket knife I’ve ever bought. It has a bi-metal blade, the tips is reportedly delicate but it gets sharp as can bee and holds an edge. I like carrying it and it matches my wrist watch (lol).
  7. To fund the men looking at women looking at social media program for America.
  8. I have both the black one and the white one. I'll have to find them.
  9. I got civ 6 on switch in early November right before I caught the Flu so I binged it. The port to switch has some strange things when you use a TV as your display. I was coming from Revolutions which only has about 1/3 the complexity. I hated the World Congress at first but getting the hang of it. I wanted to try a sea domination path with the Vikings and then the Dutch but I need to change the map because the default has all the other civ afraid to set a city on the coast. I am getting the hang of playing the Dutch (everyone hates the Dutch) The thing with diplomacy in this game is you have to play nice until you're ready to completely take a civ out. My favorite part is trying to figure out how to layout my first 3 cities for best adjacency bonuses and growth. If you get that part victory is a fait accompli. If I get to where it is obvious I will win domination I will quit and start a new game. I love planning double bonuses from Wonders by having two cities able to get the bonus from the wonders. I have won a religious victory after getting killed by it for not paying attention to it at first. If you have the Saladin or Gandhi in the game you have to watch out. Get to the Apostles early enough so you can kill the missionaries. If I get the right starting position I might go for Economic. Culture seems unattainable. I have not faced every leader yet.
  10. She could have overseen the Darrel Brooks "sovereign citizen BS"
  11. yeah last time I was there was after meeting a chick at Rhinos and Jocks that wanted to ditch her girlfriends and play pool so we went there first (I had a pool table at home too but not sure I wanted her to know where I lived). It was an interesting scene. Rhinos and Jocks has probably been gone over 10 years now. I know that last visit was at least 19-20 years ago.
  12. you should have started with Gettin' ripped off These also apply: Gettin' robbed Gettin' stoned Gettin' beat up Broken-boned Gettin' had Gettin' took
  13. I was going to say Pearl Beer but apparently small boutique brand now. Handy Andy (Missed out on the Piggly Wiggly) Best - A Service Merchandise type place before Best Buy I had not seen the Texaco brand in years but they are starting to pop up again. Certain car names disappear for a while and then come back like Bronco, Camaro, Impala, etc. Will there be another Taurus or Chevelle? Skaggs Alpha Beta Scottrade and not long for this earth Ameritrade
  14. Well I’m sure his plan will be to delay and distract but if he ever has to pay it will be funds from a grift. He heard about gofundme but realized no one would give to a “billionaire” so he had to manufacture grievances that people would contribute to show how mad they are and here we are with a steady stream. That is the whole business plan. Well, and to not pay taxes or for services until forced.
  15. Pics Also, I was watching season 2 of The Wire last night and Nick had on this shirt. I wish I could find one.
  16. It might finally happen So I have been in a queue for getting paint and body work so long I only know it is over a year but not whether it is closer to 18 or 24 months. A month ago I got tired of the delays from my shop and discouraged by all the cars they have in the shop at one time even though they said I was next so I called another shop to check in. Slightly more money but they seem to get cars in and out quicker and I aint getting younger. I want to enjoy my car not just leave it to my kids. Today the second shop said they were moving me up in line from March to late December/early January. So excited. Now I'm talking to an individual and a shop on rebuilding the engine that burns oil/fouled plugs while it is at the body shop. Reduce the amount of time the car is down and get the engine bay detailed at the same time. I have pretty much done everything else myself and these are the last steps. My wife actually seems peeved that I have saved for so long towards this goal and would rather I spend it on something else. Fuck it, I'm happy and here to share the excitement with like minded people. So share your stories, encouragement and advice. Drivetrain Plan: Pull the engine, AC, Radiator and transmission Give the engine to the rebuild shop for a mild stroker build (331, heads, intake, cam, stay carbureted) Optional C4 to T5/TKO swap and upgrade the 8" open diff to LSD with taller gears Body and Paint plan: I remove the interior except the dash I disassemble the headlight buckets I remove door glass and vents Shop does remove the stainless trim remove the front and back glass Strip the paint from whole body and door jams shave the fender emblems and fill antenna hole prime and paint with base clear in 2part formula for the original Candyapple Red Outsource the headliner install before the glass is reinstalled Detail the engine bay Get the glass and stainless reinstalled Align doors and fenders Install new rear louvers and front chin spoiler optional add a '70 Grabber c-stripe to the sides Engine guy will install the engine transmission and diff. I could potentially do all the following Reinstall door glass, vent glass and interior including Ridge Runner sail panels Install all rubber seals Reinstall fender extensions/headlight buckets, side scoops and qtr panel extensions Reinstall headlights, tail lights and marker lights reinstall engine accessories and radiator
  17. my beard is a little unkept because November but that looks like crazy goat boy beard that would point a lazer grip pistol at his ex in a bar.
  18. Yeah, telling your voters not to trust the system and to not vote early then complain when there are lines on election day and trying to fit all the voters in that window between 5:00 and 7:00 pm is some seriously dumbfuck shit.
  19. You could just say he is an aggy.
  20. When I used to work off Mesa and 183 I would go to Wally burger express and get the tacos now that connection is made why I like them so much they were just like their Mayfield DQ tacos.
  21. Need to add another minus to footwork and decision making
