They will be too late. I am already there and snagged myself a nice 911 edition 50. :kisswink:
Good choice. :nod: About the only thing I’d take over that is a GT 4 or one of these…

Now that would be a hard choice. :nod: Back in my younger days, I thought Porsche's were ugly but as I have "matured", the body lines and subtle curves are more appealing. If only I had a bit more money...... :(


Granted I still love the old square body pickups and those things were nothing but a brick on wheels. :lol:

Progtards up in arms about Biden’s choice for SC since she put away a black man for 12 years “for selling 8 ounces of weed”. Hell, they loooooove them some Kamala harris, and that broad kept black men in prison past their sentences for the cheap labor!

This lady (Childs) should be right in their wheelhouse!
If this excites them, just wait until they see Harris’ record.

I would also take a late 40's Diamond T 2 ton truck or a KB4 or 5 IH.

There are a few routes I could go, just depends on what I find. Overall I am a huge fan of the 40's and 50's pickups or trucks. Love big front fenders, grills, and long hoods. I am also a big fan of rat rods with diesel engines.

Women and parallel parking :ohno:
Police have not said whether she will be charged. If someone steps on the gas instead if the brakes and kills someone, how is that not manslaughter? Should charge her Bentley drving ass with manslaughter.

Hope they checked her for a prescription drug DUI. I used to train a really wealthy older gentleman and his wife was always out driving her car "high" on prescriptions. Scratches and dings all over her high dollar Mercedes. Acted like she was entitled to do whatever she wanted.

The real irony in all this was that she was beside herself over her grandsons marijuana problem. They had to do an intervention on her because she had so many prescriptions!

Wish I'd known you were looking, some Chicago fireman scored mine - '75 Dodge W100 Power Wagon, factory 440, Carter AFB w/Offenhauser intake, headers, modified xfer case for true 2wd (50% increase in gas mileage right there), and the lagniappe - a Grateful Dead sticker next to the gun rack.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.
