  1. Sorry for laughing but the idea of a store only having one side is what would happen to me. On a holiday. At least you have traditional shocks and not struts. Was looking at mine on the 2001 4Runner and trying to decide what local garage has a press. No way on earth I am using spring compressors on truck springs
  2. Just go with two hand touch. No sliding and no shot to the head
  3. Not even close.... https://www.businessinsider.com/nba-will-pay-two-brothers-500-million-to-get-out-of-crazy-business-deal-made-in-1976-2014-1 As background the NBA/ABA merger left two teams behind. One took a one time cash payout. The other took a percentage of the TV contract until "the end of time". Granted this was in the 70's and the NBA championship was on tape delay but suddenly Magic, Bird and Michael showed up. In defense this was the last negotiating point to allow the merger and it was something like 3am so everyone agreed. The family of the Memphis team appreciated all the hard work for almost 40 years. Got millions for doing absolutely nothing
  4. For no real reason - Cougars (the auto type) are underappreciated
  5. Love the early morning game... They should coach how to run the pick play better than that. Still scored after penalty
  6. GT40 and IIRC this is a Shelby Daytona. Not cheap. Notice bumper sticker A friend of mine bought a barn unseen and found this in it. Not this exact car but the same color and engine - Cutlass 454 Just in case of fire - a hundred year old engine that still works. City tuned down an offer of 1 million for it
  7. Lots of Camaros and single 6 cylinder Mustang
  8. A few Vettes
  9. To cheer us up after seeing upside down car. Went to a smaller car show in the Von Braun Center today. Still had a few really high end cars there Very rare Judge - because of the paint color
  10. There was a better article on al.com. it seems that someone stored the poison bag in the same area as the sand. It was supposed to be stored under lock and key somewhere else. They were going to replace the bermuda greens with a newer type of bermuda in 2024. Looks like that is now 2023
  11. That is some serious level of stupidity. You would think that someone would have noticed the bag label before they hit 18 greens. Or maybe the two bags looked very similar....
  12. Inb4 police show up
  13. Bader would deserve his own thread. He flew and fought with two artificial legs. He was shot down and lost one of them. An arrangement was made for a British plane to drop a new leg one night. After getting them Bader tried to escape and as punishment the Germans took at least one of his legs away every night.
  14. Here's another good one http://www.nationalchamps.net/2022/index.htm
  15. Just keep matriculating the ball
  16. Didn't see it but I had just turned off 183 to get to Pickel Center. Wondered what all the sirens were when I was parking
  17. That list is a little better than a decent collection. More like a bucket list
  18. That deserves a thread of its on
  19. For the 03 season but I agree with 04 in general. SC had multiple ineligible players and knew it. That game should have been Auburn vs OU. The 83 Miami also stinks. (putting on a helmet here because I know Texas should could have won it) but that Miami team didn't play anyone. Nebraska was highly overated because they beat Penn State badly in the first game. They really didn't play anyone either. I still mad that a one loss Auburn (to Texas) didn't even move up when everyone above them lost in bowls. I also wonder if Texas had won their bowl - would they have won it over Miami. The NBC press department spent an entire month advertising the Orange Bowl as the NC. But the 84 BYU was just bad. Because of conference tie ins they didn;t even play in a "big" bowl. IIRC they beat Michigan in Holiday Bowl
  20. To be fair the Monza was supposed to have GM's Wankel engine which never happened. On the other hand they still shoved the V8 in there
  21. That is a perfect vehicle for them. I still have my 2001 version and it is bulletproof and fairly easy to work on. Only 2 or 3 failure points and those are easy to prevent with maintenance. The only issue that worries me isn;t an issue in Texas - rust.Toyota did well when they designed the 3rd gen.
  22. FAFO at its best
  23. I have the same power bleeder and it rocks. Had to make a custom fitting for the 4Runner but man it makes it easy for a one man brake fluid change
  24. Almost got killed by my MGA in college. Was lying on ground with head under car to look at something and asked DAd to start it. He reached in and hit the starter. MGA's do not have a clutch switch so the car took off. Somehow I got my head out of the way and got smacked with the door as it went by. Somehow it hit the end of the garage and didn't do any damage to car (or me). Big fan of clutch switches ever since
  25. I hit 35+ going downhill on Parmer after 1431. The problem was the wind was helping and I knew coming back up those hills was death. Usually 10-12 mph coming back
