CDL isn't required for personal recreation vehicles. This thing probably drives like a larger pickup with the wheel base it has.
You nailed it. It was a little shocking at first but you get used to it surprisingly quickly.

<3 Love it.
Good luck with the sale, bud!
Clay, been a while man, Thanks!

1995 36 foot Georgie Boy Encounter RV. $15,000 OBO
Despite its year, with just over 50,000 miles, it has a lot of life left. Reliability is this rig’s cornerstone. It has carried our family of five from central Ohio down the entire southeast coast to The Florida Keys. Most recently, It has served as our 30 plus day lodging and transportation all the way out to Yellowstone National Park and down through all the national parks in Utah.
Perhaps most demonstrative of its reliability is the fact that we partnered with another family in their much newer(2017) Fleetwood Bounder RV for our western journey and this Georgie Boy prevailed with a smoother trip with less mechanical issues.
Exterior Features:
*Fuel injected 7.5 Liter/460 cubic inch V8.
*Brand new starter solenoid.
*Coolant,transmission and differential fluid have been flushed and changed.
*Brake fluid has been bled. Brake system completely overhauled. The brake caliper slides have been lubricated.
*The tires were purchased in March 2019.
*Batteries were purchased in March 2019.
*New sway bar end links.
*The motorized steps have been rebuilt.
*The hot water heater has a new circuit board.
*There is all new drain plumbing. The water system has been replumbed
with pex and new valves.
*It has new serpentine built.
*New throttle position switch harness sensor.
*New spark plugs, plug wires and distributor cap.
*Central air conditioner has a soft start system installed which allows the A/C to run off of a small generator or both A/C’s to run on 30 amps.
*New headlight housings and LED lighting upgrade. All electrical housing connections have been cleaned and coated with anti-corrosion spray.
*Added locking gas cap and door
*The generator will start and run. Its carburetor has been rebuilt twice, it has power output, but surges as can been seen in the video below.
* Recently winterized for fast/easy storage.
Interior Features:
*New high pressure
shower head.
*New back up and side camera system.
*Up-to-date and fully functional carbon monoxide and smoke detectors
*2 smart televisions.
* All interior bulbs have been upgraded to LED to minimize battery drain.
*Multi-faceted phone charging system/station.
*Queen bed in the back, couch that pulls out to a double sized bed in the front. A small lounging/sleeping area in the kitchen area.
*The refrigerator functions on electric and propane.
*A CB is installed, which requires a slight repair because it sends but does not receive audio.
A potential negative could be said to be the Georgie Boy’s faded paint. Its clear coat is practically entirely eroded. The trim around the windshield is due for replacing, but not leaking or urgent.
However, again if reliability and safety are your goals, this Georgie Boy is the rig for you!

1970 AMC Gremlin V8 FOR SALE
You are looking at a first year 1970 AMC Gremlin, complete with original emblems and most of the interior. This great car was originally built by one of our beloved member Ben Moore and my dad and I purchased it from him and have been perfecting it ever since. As my father has since passed and I have brought it to a completion point I am happy with and have other projects on queue, I am offering it for sale.
This car is an unbelievable head turner - I get more attention at gas stations, car shows than any other car I have ever owned! This says a lot since I have been a car aficionado since before I was old enough to even drive.
This has been a project car for me and my dad for several years. As a result, I can say with confidence and personal knowledge that every bolt on the front and rear suspension, drive train and brakes have been loosened, tightened and have had anti seize applied. The floor and frame are solid.
The car is extremely fast and solid. Even the handling is pretty darn good for a 1970’s car. The car is fully functional with wipers and windows. I have the original heater box but it is not installed
All locks are keyed the same and are fully functional.
The car includes the following features:
355 small block Chevy engine (350-400 hp) in a 2,730 lb chassis.
Double hump/Fuelie cylinder heads with new valve springs
Comp cams magnum roller tip rockers
New CS1095R (GM 350/350 HP) camshaft and valvesprings
Edelbrock air gap intake manifold
Holley 1850 600cfm vacuum secondary carb with dual feed
K&N filter with Xstream flow top
MSD Pro billet distributor
MSD blaster coil
Accel short plugs and 8mm wires
3/4 length headers with 2.5” intermediate pipe and Purple Hornies glass packs
Holley 130 GPH mechanical fuel pump with 8an feed/6 an return with return style adj fpr
8 gallon aluminum fuel cell
Aluminum water pump
Aluminum radiator with dual speed electric fans controlled by AMC “Weather Eye” fan switch (relay protected)
Jegs built GM TH350 with 10” Jegs converter and manual valve body
Hurst quarter stick shifter
New AC Delco gold gear reduction starter
Ford 8” Rear end
New master cylinder with brake line pressure switch for brake lights that don’t default to on
Properly wired 3 wire GM alternator with functioning dash light
New ignition switch
New tires
But with its unique quality, comes some ‘bumps and bruises’ with its age- including the following (all seen in photos):
Rear driver side quarter panel and rocker panel rust
Bubbling on passenger rear quarter
Just beyond surface rust spots on the Rallye wheels
Passenger side fender rust
The headliner is out - although I do have the torn headliner for a template
$12,000.00 OBO

What are you looking for in crossbows? Cost, speed, lightweight?
I know a couple things about crossbows and am into mine way too damn much for what someone should put in a crossbow.
Cost primarily and availability of parts/bolts. I asked at cabelas today and apparently a wicked ridge made by te point or something like that had a lifetime warranty so a used one of those would be great. We bought a couple compound bows off of eBay a few years ago but can barely hit a hay bale so the rifle similarity is what intrigues me.
I was surprised as the emphasis on scope quality as I figure at that range a red dot would be more than enough?

The 365 is starting to pop back up in stores. Blackwing had a few variants of it last time I was there. It's been my favorite carry gun in all aspects to date.
Yeah I just saw one at cabelas the other day

938 is my absolute favorite carry gun. I like 1911 controls and the metal frame. Size is perfect for a smaller piece too as I have big hands and its comfortable to shoot.
That being said tons of people love the 365 if your looking for a polymer lower.
Yeah I was having a difficult time deciding between the two

Hey all - trying to put the sbc AMC Gremlin back together to sell this spring and happen to have currently misplaced the starter motor. Does anyone have one lying around they don’t need. I have a few places to look still but thought I would ask around.
Thanks,
Andrew

Pumpkin SHOW you uncultured swine.
Hahah I apologize. I had a good friend from Circleville years ago that talked about it all the time. I have never been but obviously should have by now.

My town doesn’t have Uber.

Bruh, I live in Circleville. We barely have pizza delivery.
Well, at least you have the Pumpkin Festival!
We have had several people from Circleville park at our lot and use UBER to get to the airport.

Do you not have uber? We used Uber in Puerto Rico and my sister used it in a very small town in Spain

Hey all,
My company is doing their annual Christmas giveaways again. Unfortunately like last year the following has been weak so far so you have a really good chance at winning.
Last year a fellow from CR actually won the first one!
All you have to do is follow Park With the Shark on Instagram or Facebook and share/tag three friends and you are in.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew

It looked to be a turbocharged and intercooled inline 4 - if I had to guess it was a Honda k series but couldn’t tell while driving…
Definitely cool tho and I would like to learn more about it!
