The biggest factor in getting each of us personally and our society as a whole back on track towards a "next normal" is to get vaccinated, if you're an adult over 18yo. Plain and simple. COVID is here to stay for the forseeable future, but people have stupidly made vaxxing a political issue. The most disturbing example of this over the last couple weeks is how much posturing people have taken over Trump's admission to Candace Owens that vaccines help, getting all anti-vax Trumpers in a tizzy.
However...
What still surprises me is the third-rail of this conversation: how many people of color refuse to get vaxxed. I'm somewhat familiar with the Tuskeegee Study so I appreciate that black people are skeptical of government solutions to this problem, but they are gambling with more than just their own life with this virus.

“CR Meats” sounds like an awesome idea!
Congrats, Derek! Best of luck on the new venture.

Just order a Navi if you’re serious about this. I see crap bikes for $1000 to 1200 that need a lot of work. If you order a Navi now, it’ll be here by March right when the weather breaks and every goober coming out of COVID 2 is gonna want to get out on the road. Even if you didn’t want it you could probably flip it for a couple hundred bucks.

For what old monkey/cub pit bikes go for, before you have to rebuild the carb, brakes and put new tires on it, trust me: a brand new Honda Navi for less than $1900 ready for plate and pavement is the way to go.

Honda Navi.

Nice Odyssey wheels!

If it’s got a 5.3L and a 4L60 with compy’s and wiring harness for $700….

Winning cures a lot of personal problems and public perception.
Head coach of jAcKsOnViLlE this season didn’t help mask Urban’s issues.
Will it affect his restaurants in C’Bus?

I am blown away by this video. So cool.
Definitely limited use in shallow waters like Buckeye Lake or backwater/swamps of FL, but awesome tech for sure.
EUR265,000 = just under $300k

Wrong thread, but got a 4bbl and Edelbrock Performer intake on FBM last night. :thumbup:

I have a Mossberg 500e .410 and any boxes for sale have been a tiny crack on the shelf between more conventional ammo. Definitely easy to fire.
Agreed in taking her to a range and having her fire a few guns.

I don't care what the mileage is on that thing....the way it looks now, you'd easily sell it for over market pricing. Amazing cleanup.

Heyoooo...looking for a 4bbl carb for my RV to convert from a 2bbl over the winter. Keeping an eye on FBM of course, but just checking to see if anyone on here has one kicking around.
Electric choke, spread-bore. Carter AFB style, more recently redone as an "Edelbrock AVS or AVS2" carb. Thanks in advance!

Let’s assume that a Democratic staffer is going to be a snowflake anyway, so I take “soul-crushing criticism” from Kamala Harris with a grain of salt.

Dealers are desperate for cars. My neighbor at my cabin sells Chevy's and throughout the summer they had single digit inventory. She still sold ~26-35 cars per month though. Just like was said earlier, they're sold before they get off the truck.
Agreed. Most dealers I talk to have more salespeople than cars on the lot.

Interesting point I was hearing from a dealership:
On the new side, dealers are looking to get and push out whatever allocation they can get from the OEMs, whether it's got chips or not, start/stop or doesn't, console wireless phone disabled, AFM disabled they're going to sell it. Dealer makes $$$$$
When the OEM provides a list of vehicles they've sold that don't have chips that now they DO have the chips/components for, the owners bring cars back for warranty work. Dealer makes $$
The PROBLEM for the industry is going to be downstream, when used-car dealers are getting these things from normie owners or auctions where the Monroney (window sticker) says "Wireless Phone Charging" and there's a dead space under the console. Does a used buyer find out that wireless charging doesn't work and go back to the used dealer? Is there a lawsuit they can file with GM? Can some dum-dum go after Vroom/Carvana/CarMax for warranty work?
That'll be an interesting result of this supply-chain issue...

I passed on an '04 911 Turbo Cab, X50 6-speed triple-black for $38k with just under 100k miles last year during COVID...

My wife is volunteering for a growing community group that's in need of 3-4 buses/vans (15+ people each). Per my CR conneck, I wanted to see if anyone had experience managing a small fleet program for a for-profit school, church, business, etc...
They are looking at leasing/buying options, cost of operations, hiring drivers where community volunteers aren't enough. TIA!

Get'em now before they're gone for good.

I try to find OEM p/n from another site and cross-reference RA to see if they have it for sale cheaper. (i.e Honda oil filters for our van, brake calipers, ignition electronics, etc...)
I think the big benefit of RA is, if you have a few days to make the fix, their prices are worth the shipping wait.
I definitely agree that NAPA has quality parts and a great warranty. I'm glad I live near the warehouse on 161 in Worthington north of KOSU because they have nearly anything on SKU in-stock.

I was told that BaT has area "specialists" that will take detailed photos of your car, type the listing copy for you and essentially do all the work to try and get the highest price, as they get a cut of the final sale price.
2022 Car Plans
in Passing Lane
Posted
What are you planning for in 2022? New cars, work on your existing fleet, car-related activities...
1) I've got to get my '75 RV finished up for family camping this summer. Currently gutted interior and need to finish new roof paneling and sealing but too cold rn.
2) See about Ronnie Nutter cleaning up my air-ride setup in the trunk of my Lincoln.
3) Would love to try to take my 10yo son to HOT ROD Power Tour after Austin and Kerry's adventure this past year.
4) CC&C as always. :thumbup:
No new car purchases planned, although FBM always tempts me, especially now that it's getting cold outside....lotta decent deals. However, after COVID I barely drive my current fleet enough so I'm going to make do with what i have.
