“being positive or complimentary of absolutely anything makes you a Republican”

It’s hard to believe it weighs the same as my ‘19 Miata RF GTS did. Wish it handled like that, too. It’s only good in a straight line. Can’t bring myself to cut it up to convert it to IFS, though. 

Damn, that’s pretty good! The Cobb tune didn’t seem to affect mpg’s much to be honest. It just got truck mileage no matter how it was driven. But then again, it was not designed or purchased to be a hypermiler. 

Mine did 18mpg no matter how you drove it. Bat out of hell? 18mpg. Granny driving to see if you can get any better mileage? 18mpg. 

Thanks! It’s no beauty like that Charger, but it’s fun!

I miss my unmolested Evo X (not counting the Cobb tune. It was a very mild Stage 1 tune). What an absolute hoot it was to drive. 

Since the old fart made the list, I figured I should share some pics of it. My father was kind enough to hand it down to me before he shuffled off this blue marble, making his money pit MY money pit. It’s a hoot though. 1963 1/2 Sprint. Freshly rebuilt K Code 289, toploader, 9in rear, Wilwood discs, new exhaust,…

My local butcher has recently upped the price of late ribs. Used to be $5/lb, now they’re $8/lb. It just seems that roughly half my briskets turn out. The point always turns out well, but the flat is jerky half the time. Haven’t tried an extended rest in a faux cambro yet, though. Maybe I’ll give that a shot one of…

Oh for sure! We eat with our eyes first, and I can say I’m disappointed if I spend all damned day smoking something and there’s no smoke ring. 

I gave up on briskets and just do beef plate ribs nowadays. It’s the best part of a brisket with none of the headaches or effort.

I’ve made the pilgrimage to Franklin, and it was worth every minute of waiting. It made me want to throw my smokers away. 

Like this one...

Some smoke ring facts:

Godspeed! I am definitely looking forward to it! 

I can’t be the only person who would want to witness that beautiful beast in the wind at full gallop.....

To drive the old Falcon more. It mostly sits, and that’s a shame. I put a TON of money into it mechanically two years back. It needs to get some miles on it. 

Post a video here!!

I feel like the window decals and choice of wheels tells me all I need to know about this thing. Many, many other bad decisions probably went into this “build”. ND from me, although I like the idea of it. 

I cannot imagine this is remotely true on any level, and I hate Tesla as a company. China isn’t exactly known for their great treatment of workers. 

A decade-old German with even more complicated electronics than usual? Gee, what could go wrong?
