Yeah, I guess you didn’t. Still, I think LA and New York are ahead of that. And what about El Paso? Or Fresno? Or Bakersfield? Or Miami? And I completely agree that it will be a long time—everywhere in the country—before things are colorblind, a-religious, not nationality-based. A couple more generations for the…

But we all enjoy the looks, whether it’s supercar, muscle car, or, for some of the people here, ugly car (I don’t get it).

Haha! That’s a clever one. I’m just trying to figure out how they are all positioned. Kudos to you!

I buy all of my supercar replicas from those guys in South America.

Double snap!

Snap!

Easier: spray it generously with Oil Eater (I think it’s available at Costco, comes in a gallon jug with a spray bottle). Wait 5-10 minutes. Spray it off with a hose. DONE! Higher water pressure is not recommended.

And, of course, we will maintain ownership of all Federal government property, mineral, and petroleum rights.

WIRES!

How do you deal with the neighbor’s hatred?

I’ve never heard that, which isn’t to say that you’re wrong. But I used to a van to haul a roadrace motorcycle and never got pulled over or heard of anybody else being pulled over or read about this being something to be careful about. Also, while it makes you feel cool, do NOT put any stickers on your van or truck.…

Make life easy: ANY longbed truck and a couple of loading ramps can handle any of the vehicle types you mentioned (although personal watercraft will probably require a trailer). Don’t worry about bed or tow capacity, it will handle the job. Maybe take a look at mileage.

Steve, just make the disclaimer all encompassing. ...and for your convenience, your credit card has already been billed. You’d be surprised how much income you can generate without actually interfacing with clients or defendant.
