Mostly only owned black vehicles. They look awesome 3 or 4 times a year then slowly look like crap until another clean, rub and buff marathon.

Last year as I was struggling to getting out of the Vette (suspension purposely lowered) at the grocery store, a woman around my age looked at me and said, "REALLY?" I said DAMN RIGHT!

Just because my back doesn't work doesn't mean the rest of me is shot! You know what they say, "men age like wine where women age like milk."

Saying that to your woman is like calling her your last girlfriend's name while being intimate.

Had lifter noise (intermittent ticking) coming the drivers side of the Vette. Pulled the valve cover to see what was going on and to send pictures to a friend that knows LS engines. I'll change it up soon, love the look of that valve train with those roller rocker arms.

I could use some of that Makers right about now. Get off work about 7, the Wife & I go home and let the dog out, consolidate rides, and go out to eat. Drink 3 Bud Lights with dinner and go home to chill. Getting ready to watch the Bering Sea Gold episode I recorder earlier and the phone rings. It's the damned alarm company. The fire alarm is going off at my business. This is the second time it's done it and it has to do with the compressor malfunctioning and not holding pressure on a valve and the water starts flowing. Thank God it just goes out the drain into the parking lot. We got a 12" main coming in here. The hell of it is there's nothing that will readily burn without holding a blow torch on it. Anyway, the firemen can't do anything about it so I'm waiting on the fire sprinkler guy to call me back. This damned system cost me a ton and we even had to put it in the overhangs we have outside. You may can see the 8" main running the length of the warehouse. It's the same on the other side. Not the way I wanted to spend my Friday night. Getting ready to turn it off at the main valve by the street.

Don't it suck to be #1? Especially on Friday night? At least there isn't a real fire, that would really suck.

LOL... They told me if I kept it under 12k sq ft then I wouldn't have to have this damned fire sprinkler system. So we built it 11,990 sq ft. But, there are two overhangs, one on the back and one on the side that are 80' x 40' for a total of 6400 Sq Ft. That counts, even though it's not enclosed space. Live and learn. I could have bought another 550 like I have now for the price of the sprinkler system. It's overkill anyway. Check out the valve coming in.

Damn boys. 2am here and I’m checking FTE after a long shift of drinking with the neighbours at the lake. You guys have been busy. Dusty dash turned into a dumpster fire, AdirondEx hiding stuff from Teddy (I’ll find out what that was about tomorrow) and we got some fresh meat in the thread. Good work FTE brethren. There were so many new threads started tonight that I would of liked to insert my 2 cents but trolling is just like driving, safer to do it before you downed a couple of cases. 😂😂😂
