    Vent Thread - Buying "Barn Finds"

    Inspiration. Saw this badass Fox body at a local show. It's amazing how small these cars look/feel compared to new cars.

    Vent Thread - Buying "Barn Finds"

    Story time Monday? Here goes. Not a ford and not technically a 'barn find', but in 1995 a 1971 Chevelle appeared at my high school friend's parent's house. My friend was away in the Army. Friend's dad's step-father had recently passed away, and had owned the Chevelle since 1973. I stopped...

    On this day in History 1963

    Dallas Morning News had a mention about it in today's print edition...way at the back of last section in the "today in history." I guess Dallas just wants to forget about it after 61 years? To be fair they did have an article online. Pics I took last year:

    Annuities. Who of you invests and what’s your takes?

    I think they were quite popular in the 1980's (and maybe prior??) when interest rates were high. I believe they are a talking point / of unrest again due to (what were) rising interest rates. Watch the sales / admin fees and whether you will be ok with the funds not being readily available if...

    Anyone use products from the Chemical guys? Worth it?

    The glass cleaner is best I've ever tried. Extreme Body Wash + Wax works well. Their detail spray is good too.

    Smells That Take You Back To Your Childhood

    Smell of a bicycle shop. They largely still smell the same today. A bike equaled freedom to roam. Leather shoe polish. Reminds me of my Grandpa and also the shoe shine stations you'd see at airports or busy downtown sidewalks. The chatter, the newspapers, you just figured great...

    House in the foothills being raided by the feds today

    Are you talking about the right Peabody (BTU)? It's at $27.80/sh right now. I bought at $1.80 and up 1,200%. Unfortunately didn't buy enough. I have plenty of loser stocks from following RDP stock picks. Some I exited too soon (after 3-4 years of downward movement), sold and now those...

    OnStar gone Sirius XM next??

    Like mentioned, online chat, cancel due to "too expensive." They'll give an offer. If you decline that, usually next offer is 6-month term. Sometimes it's vise versa. They've played this game for easily 20 years running. I cancelled altogether on my 2014 Sierra. Then waited. Wasn't long a...

    What’s it worth. 1955 Chevy bel air . Pics

    Is it just me, the exterior looks like an original orange color but the interior pieces are red? In any case, the interior would be easy enough to straighten out or replace. Honestly, being a 55 Chevy is my favorite tri-five and probably favorite car, this would have been in my garage already.

    What’s it worth. 1955 Chevy bel air . Pics

    IMO if the body is rust free, I'd think $25k would be a good deal. Used to see '55 Chevy rusty shells on a trailer at Turlock Swap meet trying to get nearly $10k. That was 10+ years ago.

    RIP Roadkill and Motortrend TV Shows

    No sweat, I figured that was the case, considering the link you posted (that is the theme with anything AT&T has a hand in, even when a parent entity). I'm not sure where the hate for the Roadkill guys comes from, but I'm with those that think it was a good show. I get the whole safety thing...

    RIP Roadkill and Motortrend TV Shows

    We're now at Warner Bros Discovery went BK?? What the hell? WBD shuts down what appears to be an entity within an entity. Nothing went BK.

    RIP Roadkill and Motortrend TV Shows

    The $41 billion debt is for the whole company, Warner Bros. Discovery. I think originally stemming from AT&T's purchase of Warner Bros in 2018. Warner Bros was spun off in 2022 to merge with Discovery. Read here, that anything AT&T touches goes to 💩. I think Finnegan and Freiburger should...

    Hanging Christmas lights - high roof

    My peak is around 23ft, so I bought a fiberglass 28ft rated at 300lbs, figuring the heft of the ladder would be more stable. Also, got the extension ladder stabilizer. It's a pain to be honest moving it into place as I'm a weak ass. I use a 16ft extension ladder for shorter reaches. Pretty...

    Exterior Christmas lights rant...

    Ewing Irrigation. Here in Texas, a lot of commercial landscapers buy from there. So, that's where I purchased ours from. Not cheap, even with a small discount, but the quality is definitely noticeable. This will be 5th year. Not one problem. I've dropped their bulbs from over 20ft high...

    BTC

    I haven't bought Bitcoin, but here's an article on buying Bitcoin ETF's. Much easier to buy / sell, lower share price, and can buy via (assumingly) most brokerage firms. Bitcoin ETF's

    How do you stop scammer phone calls?

    This is what I do/use: Verizon Call Filter app, don't answer, and block spam numbers if same # keeps calling. Seems to work fairly well.

    Have you tried a foam repair kit for your existing sub? Simply Speakers I bought new foam for my Cerwin Vega home speakers and it worked out perfectly.

    What happened to the extra 15 million voters from 2020?

    Quick exercise I performed. Numbers are from Wikipedia, except 2024 are from Yahoo.com (AP numbers - morning of 11/6/24). Sure makes you wonder about 2020!! 🧐
