Stars should be on the left.

And don’t get cute with the know how I know you’re gay bullshit.
We don't need to get cute with the "know how you are gay" bullshit. Half of the members here know firsthand, and they showed their videos to the other half.





Just kidding





Couldn't walk by that because the set up was too easy.

I don't know what year that's from but $150 seems like a shitload of money for a mini bike back then.
I paid $800 for a new 81 RM80 in the fall of 81.
The Dino is my personal favorite,,, just something about it I really like.

The focal length on this photo makes it look like a model car.:geek:
 
Grammar school air raid drills in the 50's
I asked teacher WTF?, if they nuke us. How will hiding in the basement under a coat against the concrete wall protect us?
Teacher said it was only so they didn't have to bury us later.
If you were close enough and outside there wouldn’t be a need to bury you
 
Most beautiful car ever was a Ford.
An Atmos to be precise.

Then there is the Lambo Super Diablo owned by Mike Tyson that I tweaked.
I took the useless A/C system and made 2 evaporators into intake air chillers unlike anything I've seen before or since (hey it's not like you could use the AC in a roofless car...so I put it to work).
Twin turbo V12 and was squirting just over a thou horsies after my upgrades.

Or could it be the uber rare Maserati I restored ?
1957 Frua Coupe, 1 of 18 made and only about 6-7 left.
Yea, that's me back in my hey day.

Pfft.
I do (did?) cars like you can't even imagine.
And boats.
And (gasp) planes.
 
In Lafayette in the mid 60’s they would crank the air raid siren at straight up noon! You could set you watch to it. It was loud! 😳
They do that here every first Wednesday of the month - although it's the tornado warning sirens, different tone for actual emergencies like invasion. A couple of times "technical issues" have prevented them doing it on the normal schedule, so panic ensues.. :rolleyes:

Back to pics..

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater of Euro sports cars. I grew up racing dirt bikes and drag cars and got to take some fast Porsches, BMWs and even a 365 BB on road tracks. But I'm mostly partial to cars I wrenched on and drove. A friend bought a brand new 69 Z and got the 4 wheel disc brake option, factory headers (delivered in the trunk with cast iron manifolds bolted on) chambered exhaust and cross ram dual 4 barrel intake. I helped install a roller cam and mod the suspension. It was a road car but could put down mid-to upper 12s in the quarter once Lonnie got some good rubber on the back. It was a blast to drive, defining "throttle response". We all raced dirt bikes, so we knew how to make low torque motors get up on the pipe. I miss those days every now and then.
