I averaged 24.6 in my 14 Ridgeline today coming across the PA turnpike... the trip computer read lower than what I actually got, (about 22.8). So it is possible, just don’t drive like a dick. I set the cruise to 70 and let everyone go by.

The entire Wright brothers first flight was shorter than a C-5's cargo floor. Fun fact.

Over 2400 flying hours on the C-5 David and every time I walk up, I get that same feeling. Then I get sweaty working and think, why the hell am I still doing this... lol

No Cargo take-off out of Norfolk back to Dover with only 45k fuel... 460k-ish gross weight with 200,000+ lbs of thrust... It was impossible to get up out of your seat on climb out. Pilots where showing off for the F-22 guys who said we’d break and be stuck there forever. lol

There’s only 5 A Models from the 60's still flying... :(

Came here to see Ultimatt for win, guess they set the bar really low for COTD...

That is awesome! I’m planning a trip into Rausch Creek later this year, going to throw some steelies and better tires on my Ridgeline and go at it. It will be out of warranty by then.

I was trying to sell it, but now I’m just gonna hold onto it. I love it too much. Plus it’s properly fucking quick. I’d love to have Sean ride it and give me honest feedback on my setup. Next upgrade is a rear shock, forks are already fully built.

Sweet! Btw I ended up just keeping my RC51 and buying a cruiser. Now I have the best of both worlds! Victory Vegas Low and my RC, pretty decent garage for the moment.

This is awesome! I’ve done something similar for friends and family for years and had no idea it was becoming a thing! I usually just charge them 5% of the selling price which covers any of the legwork and listings I do.

Mad stars for the Fifth Element Reference!

I actually went and looked at a 89 CRS Si yesterday as a daily. I drive 20 miles one way to work and wanted something fun that got decent mileage. Sadly the one I went to see had a maaco paintjob and I left when I saw that. If you’re subjecting a car to that, I’m not gonna trust anything else they did to it.

That would sound terrible.

“A bald eagle flew overhead and perched on a nearby Wrangler, a single tear streaming down its beak. It then handed out Tea Party pamphlets and shotgunned a Miller Lite.”

Yeah I didn’t have a need for a nice grinder, I was fixing rust spots in the bed of my 89 Nissan Hardbody... It’s just lasted for years and I beat he shit out of it. Now if I’m buying a tool I plan on keeping a while I’m buying a good one, the wife usually gets mad but I’m only buying it once!

Only thing I have from Harbor Freight that hasn't failed me is my grinder. That mofo refuses to die. Btw my truck has a grade 5 in it. I'm thinking that's fine.

I use floor mats when winching or towing with chains. Very handy and are cheap to replace if destroyed.

Did not know that. Thank you.

You’re assuming they had a grade 8 pin. I’m not saying they didn’t but I’m not putting my faith in a Harbor Freight pin if you know what I mean who knows where they bought it. Now I’m gonna go check the one in my truck to make sure it’s a grade 8.

Fuck.
