Good call on the Autozone rental! Will start there. Dude, the HF thing is crap, from what I researched. Will go that route since no one is stepping up anyway (if I can't get a pipe expander from Autozone...)

Similar to this: https://www.harborfreight.com/large-tail-pipe-expander-63704.html I need to stick this in a dark hole on the backside that I need to widen a bit, to get my big, 2.5" diameter pipe to fit inside. I've tried cramming it in and it's too painful, no matter how I massage the end and angle the entry. If I have a good time with it and it's good for the machine, I may do it again, but no more than 2-3 insertions. I'll be sure to lube it up first, so you get your tool back ready to go again.

Rick, that QR code thing was easy to use and judge. I've had a crazy summer so far and wasn't able to judge for the Arthritis Car Show but would be happy to help if I'm available that weekend. Keep me in the loop!

Menards is having an 11% rebate sale going on now. Just sayin'...

Got dat Barbara Walters photo filter

Whew! You were going to replace all those parts ANYWAY, amirite? :no: Car looks awesome!

Speaking of food, the boy is looking LARGE. He needs to lay off the Big Macs. I was on vacation last week...didn't even realize there was a Helsinki summit until Thursday. My expectations bar is set low, but I was shocked at the knob-slobbing. He'll try to let this blow over but I won't forget and I hope others won't either: give international validation to dictators and not get anything in return. I'm watching The Vietnam War series on Netflix and some of the same global posturing LBJ did to sell the War to the American public is going on right now with Trump. Politicians gonna politic but geez...this is ugly.

Listening/reading a variety of news sources...I am really disappointed with the way Trump handled a Summit that he had requested (as opposed to him being brought into a global situation). It's clear to me that he's just trying to posture with no plans or regards to a strategy. Spaghetti on the wall.

I hope you put this guy on blast...the repair is going to be more involved than the original paint job, methinks.

Gib ya $500 for it. :gabe:

This is going to look awesome! Congratulations on getting to this point. Almost there....

Awesome W123! Have a blast getting it going again!

My wife and I are interested in the "Howard360" concept, where I could DL content (videos, interviews, bits) on demand, for all of Howard's 23,000+ hours. I can do 3 days a week as those days are usually well-contented with interviews and bits...plus, I don't get everything in one day anyway, it's nice to hear a repeat on an off-day to catch what I may have missed.

Bingo. *** = "or law enforcement" Don't underestimate the brainwashing of Trump supporters, who would unflinchingly take a personal stance against their fellow man if they felt that Trump's "honor" was being threatened.

STAY IN SCHOOL, KIDS!

I agree with the anti-Trump stuff (grow thicker skin, my man) but the interviews have never been better and the Wack Pack and phony phone calls are still really good.

Welcome to the forum!

I love a clean M5....but I love my V a little more. Excellent work as always, Tim!

It was a neighborhood friend’s. He got it from his dad who was a Shelly exec out of Findlay...fleet truck.

Looks AWESOME!!! Yes...fuck Michigan’s potholes!

<<< Still waiting for SPARC to be built... MAGA? This isn't ever going to happen.

It was bugging me that you were leaving without being an even 200% of goal I've shared my appreciation with you before, for what you've done with promoting CC&C as well as all the CR support.....even my cheap butt needs to reciprocate. Have a great time, Doc.

I will be interested to see how some of Tim's DD jobs hold up over the next several months. Everything wears out and needs to be reapplied at some point, but the products/techniques Tim uses are pretty amazing.

Huge fan of the GT350s. Congratulations of course to you, Aaron! Feels even better knowing guiz that paid over sticker! That is a great color combo as well. Amazing car for the money!!!

So, I sell the BMW for $3k, then buy a 160k modified M3 convertible for another $4k? I'm not saying I wouldn't do that, but I need to sell the 318 first.
