Congratulations and awesome winter project! You don't have kids, do you?

From my YT watching, it seems everyone is jumping on the K24 Honda swap bandwagon, but for the price you paid to get a turbo'd engine and trans to go with it is a great deal. Hope you can get it all to work well enough!

I know Ford is proud of Godzilla...will be introducing a Megazilla-something mill soon enough. Would be amazing to see them have an aluminum block option.

Despite inevitable progression towards Daily-Driver EVs, we still live in an amazing time of high-horsepower factory hot rods.

If Chevrolet can price the C8 Corvette at less than $60k, then come the fuck on Cadillac and price the CT4 Blackwing less than $50k, or you’ll simply not sell that many of these.

Major props to Caddy for coming out with two global heavy-hitter sedans with sticks in a marketplace bereft of the option. Will be really interesting to see what the take-rate is.

TaoTao Hellcat.

Parts-swappable with a Grom for a fraction of the price.

an off the beaten path, would be a vw rabbit/golf convertible. cheap to buy, parts everywhere, and dont weight that much.

Yes, was considering a “bitch basket” as well, but I struggled against my frugality: the good ones were commanding a premium....and weren’t even that good to begin with.

For context, guys - my wife picked up some older games that apparently don't work on his Xbox One:

Ridge Racer 6

NHL 12

Forza Motorsport 4 (what he really wants to play)

Get him the new one you cheap skate!

(I know nothing about current video games)

(I don't know either. Wifey told me to ask CR)

:gabe:

Jesse, would love to talk with you more about your trip out west. Let’s grab a drink sometime...within state COVID guidelines, of course.

It’s not just the money, it’s the timing of him going into 4th grade

And us having the RV. The tough thing about a trip like this is the slow RV...we’d be adding another 5-6 days onto travel time to get out west and back...let alone travel between states and parks/attractions.

My 9yo LOVES “This vs That”. We’ve been watching every episode.

Like Hert says....Hoonicorn is just moppin’ up...

Tim, very sorry to hear that as well. Try not to beat yourself up over not being in Ohio...it’s more important to share love with your family throughout the grieving process and you’ll be back in Ohio soon enough.

As a parent, I really can’t think about losing a child. My heartfelt love to you, your brother and family through this difficult time.

Nice. If you ever come out this way get ahold of me. I’ll take you out to some awesome off-roading trails. I’m also learning about some pretty awesome camping spots.

Thanks, Brent. Wife and I are talking about a National Parks trip in 2021 as our son is in 4th grade and the nat'l parks system is free for families of that grade level. Out west would definitely be the goal.

Not sure how much time we'd have for trails or how ambitious we want to get but if I can do some light-duty off-road here in Ohio and get the kids hooked, that might be a smart move to get the family interested in chasing some off-road parks out west.

Picked up a 1975 Jeep CJ5 on a 1979 CJ7 frame and axle‘s. 4.2 L, no rust on the frame, newer top and doors, and the body hood fenders and grill are all 4WD Hardware fiberglass. Got it for a very good price, runs and drives well, looking forward to using it in 2021!

When I saw this thread I thought of Joe....I had no idea how involved you were, brother!

It does suck that there's a lot of changes going on.

So Barr admits no election fraud...

...but Trump knows he’s making money by fanning the flames and he’s going to self-pardon on the way out the door.

Classy.

Sorry guys, was a busy 24hrs as I was also out of town.

I called Casto day of the announcement, but with Phoenix I’m hoping things stay the same. Time will tell.

There’s tons of trackers and samurais out here in Colorado. You could make a trip out and go home with a rust free decent one behind you. If you wanted I could check a couple out for you before you head out.

Thanks for the offer, Brent! May take you up on that.

69KVBFCM for 69% off Kove Audio.

I have their noise-cancelling headphones and Commuter 2 Bluetooth speaker and both have been really good pieces. The Com2 is an awesome fireside speaker for camping or backyard whiskey sessions.

I think a small car is going to be easier to find, but when you toss in the manual requirement you pretty much rule out 95% of the cars today. People laugh that I never lock my Jeep until they see it’s a stick, then they understand.

Yup. I only need one vehicle to work for me. Good thing I’ve got time on my side;)
