    This describes my 80's childhood.  That and I unfortunately convinced my parents to get the power glove after watching the movie " The Wizard."

    I had one of those things. So useless! The cheat attachment for the game(for get what it was called) made video games amazing and stupid all at once!

  2. I'm actually glad I grew up in the 80s! I remember all the cartoons and millions of cable channels. And a remote control!!! The only thing I really got excited about as a kid was when we got a color TV in our bedroom. That 13inch TV was the shiiiitttttt. I remember moving the NES and Super Nintendo into our bedroom! Man that was the best feeling ever!

    I need a new battery for the Harley. Because of the high compression motor I need one that's powerful enough to turn it over even with my compression release valves open. The battery is out of stock and all I could do is ask them to notify me when it is in stock. I'm working on plan B now because the battery in is toast ?

    I tried to order oil filter, brakes and rotors, and everything is back ordered. Oil filters since middle of last year. A lot of Shelby owners are gonna end up parking their car due to the shortage soon I suspect.

  4. Seriously everything for my car seems to be either on back order without a time line when it will be back or an eta of "We don't Know" which is the same damn thing!

    Besides car parts for my Shelby GT350 what else do you Ladies and Gentlemen are looking for that has been on back order for several months without any ETA?

    How's about cases of Little Kings from ABU!? I'd guess they are hoarding those for Capcon.

    What else is everyone wanting on??? Let's hear whatcha's got!

  5. I'd lay money on it was due to their covid 19 policy and the fact they couldn't toss this event after taking everyone's money. I'm watching Capcon to see if that turns out good or bad. I already see some of my friends second guessing if they should have bought tickets.

    Battery died again, and it won't stay running after jump-starting so the power gremlin has killed a second battery. Service center admitted they have other jeeps with the same battery drain issue, so this time they are going to do draw tests over the course of a few days to try to find where were loosing energy.

    He didn't mention prices, so I hope its still a warranty fix.

    Electrical issues are absolutely the worst sort of car thing you can have and most of the time its in that grey area they wont fix under warranty in my experience. My wife in 2011 bought a used 2010 Fusion and about 9 months into it we had electrical issues with the car just shutting off on its own randomly, and after replacing everything under the sun they got to a point they simply refused to work on it any long unless we paid hourly wage. We traded it in for a Mazda 3 after that.

    Repair??? The car is totaled.   No insurance company would ever sign off on repairing that kind of damage. 

     

    Stolen ... possibly.  And watching that is only encouraging that shit behavior. 

    I agree that car had to be stolen. And from other videos there was a LOT of spectators watching... I dont know why anyone would do that

  9. G's Grill in Granite City was huge staple in my home town. It was next to the Steel Mill, and was inside a gutted trailer. There for 20+ years and about 10 years ago, it go sold. It went through some changes but failed to maintain the same food and culture and it flopped sadly. now its gone. Another chicken restaurant that served fried chicken was Clucking Chicken and it was a great recipe for fried chicken. Their main cook whom 1/2 owner of the restaurant had a falling out with the other owner. The owner tried to hire other cooks and maintain the restaurant but it failed about 2 years after that.

    Lol, lol and then it gets passed on the highway by a minivan because it's geared for the quarter mile not the top end. You my friend need a 15 speed gearbox.

    Hugs,

    Freta

    I don't fear the gear! 4:09s makes it fun although my 5/6 gear are .60 and .54 so I can actually hit 220mph in 5th and theoretically 6th is like 330mph. Doubtful I'd reach that but I've hit 200mph before going into 5th gear

    I've not been following this thread because there isn't much you and do about it.  Here are my thoughts. 

    A lot of this has always been political for decades.  We buy oil from other countries, yet we sell other countries oil that we produce here in the USA.  Why?  Because when we sell our oil to another country, they sell us something we need that we either can't produce ourselves, or produce enough of.  It also helps us with the country we sell our oil to as they become more of a friendly country to us.  They need our oil, otherwise they might buy from a country unfriendly to the U.S.  That's why on the one hand it doesn't make sense to sell our oil to another country and then have to buy oil from somewhere else, but we do it to make good connections with other countries that could be on our side should things arise.

    I also know that gas companies can control the prices.  When I came home from work the day the twin towers came down, the price of gas had almost doubled.  Greed and taking advantage of a disaster!  Fortunately President Bush put an immediate stop to that warning that price gouging on gas would not be tolerated.  We get 7% of our oil from Russia.  That can hurt but there are ways to conserve and produce our own oil or buy from other countries instead.  Cutting back on all the plastic grocery bags and going back to paper bags will save millions of gallons of oil used to produce plastic bags.

    Lastly, I don't like the higher gas prices either.  No one does.  On the other hand, I wouldn't want to get into a war of any kind with Russia and have parts of our country wiped out by nuclear weapons.  That's why many countries will sanction Russia but aren't willing to send over troops, planes and bombers to attack.  Putin has proven to be a nut case and got himself into a mess he didn't think would happen.  He won't back down and he is destroying his own countries economy with all the sanctions.  We've been though this before and have endured.  I'd rather have a little more pain at the pump than make it a lot worse by getting into World War 3, especially since the biggest difference from World War 2 is nuclear weapons!  Look at what happened that finally ended World War 2.  The A Bomb that wiped out Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Who would want something like that to happen to us?

    Since we get 7% of our oil from Russia but more than 30% of our wheat from Russia and Ukraine, I'm more worried about being able to get bread, flower and anything made from wheat and grains.  We have become a spoiled country over the past few decades.  We generally have anything and everything we want and if someone tells us we can't have something or have to do something different, many people scream, pout and rebel instead of coming together for a common cause.  Spoiled brats that suddenly can't have it their way anymore.  The recent protests with masking, distancing and vaccines for example proves this.  This situation isn't new, but the reactions of the people who have grown up in a society where they have always been allowed to buy what they want and do as they please is what's different.  In World War 2 sugar, butter, gas and food were rationed.  Anything made with metal or rubber was unavailable, including new tires for your bike or car.  Bike and car.  You were lucky if you had one because you couldn't buy a new one!  In order to get a bike or even travel you had to have special clearance and permission based upon your job that was vital to the war effort.  People came together to defeat Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito.  They scrimped, saved, donated every bit of scrap and rubber they could find in back allays (you think recycling is recent?)  There were meatless Tuesdays and people planted victory gardens to supplement their meager food.  We've come a long way since then, but the idea is back then people pulled together for a cause and did without.  Now we are so spoiled we can't see the entire picture of what could happen if a country like Russia starts taking over the world.  Will Poland be next?  The middle east where most oil is produced?  That is exactly what Hitler tried to do.  If Russia takes over and controls these other countries, how much per gallon do you think gas would cost, if we could even get it?  We only think of ourselves and whine and cry when something costs a bit more or we have to either wait longer to get it or we have to do without.  It could end up a lot worse if Putin is successful in any way.

    Family owns a farm and I can say they(In Laws) are spooked by the market when it comes to fertilizers.

  12. I'll start off by saying I am pleasantly shocked by all the actual talented folks in our community. The fact we have so many professionals among us from actual woodworkers to lawyers is impressive! Never amazes me when someone in the forums or chatroom asks a question that a laymen simply isn't able to answer that someone with expertise in the subject is there to answer the question!
