Wow What a day. I pissed off a Prius Driver good today. So heres the story We were getting off the free way and its a long off ramp about a mile long so all of a sudden I see the Prius pull out from behind us and try to cut us off. So of course my dad can't let that happen so he matches his speed and at the end the Prius just dives in forcing us to slam on the brakes so I think thats the end of it right no. So now where coming down to the light and he slams on his brakes about 50 Ft before the stop light get out and comes over to talk to us. He says "So you think its funny to have a Carpool sticker ( In Cali if your car gets over like 40 MPG you get a sticker that lets you go in the Carpool lane with only one person in the car) on that pice of crap". " I have to defend the Prius and thats why I passed you Fuc*** and cut you off. So then he goes to peel off my sticker and at this point I am pissed and I get out to go stop him and he is trying to get the sticker off and he can't and you will never belive what pulls up behind us. A COP So the Prius driver gets put in the Cop car and is charged with reckless driving Man It made my day and he is the sticker he got pissed at
Here is mine

Here is the real one

Or better yet, put it on You Tube!
Never shot a sabot. I'll have to watch next time we go shootin.

I know, I know..about burning bridges that is. I am trying to approach this in the best way possible that is as low impact as possible. I am already stressed out trying to get the house sold and preparing for the move, I just don't want to fight anymore battles. He is the type of guy that holds grudges and won't let things go either. Believe me if he continues to bring it up or gets pushy with me I'll go off on him.

On a serious note that is kinda creepy, Ive seen it done plenty of times working in resturants though. Ive never discounted food in order to talk to girls, ...I never needed to
Eh, eww. No thanks. I stopped that one right there and made it very clear to him that it wasn't going to happen. After that I was charged full price for stuff and I preferred it that way. You know its like those women who knowingly accept free drinks from the ugly drunk guy at the bar. You KNOW he's going to try to take you home. Men sometimes think that if they spend a few dollars on you they automatically get a ticket into your pants.

I bet you don't have any problems Chris. I believe that one.

Yes well getting money out of me is like trying to squeeze oil from a peanut. I sell my house, I'll become a supporter.

figured I check in, been out in the shop working on my switches and other stuff for my dash mod. Ran into a small problem. When I had my Kenwood head unit installed 2 years ago(local car stereo shop) they did not tell me that they broke the tabls off my dash bezel, and my stereo was just hanging in there with only one flimsy tab, got to fix that tomorrow.
Only got to spend about an hour or so on it tonight, and ill take some pics tomorrow and show yall the finished product. I ve still got to run another lead to the water temp sensor,(got the oil temp sensor done last week) Need to get some more small zip ties tomorrow to clean up the mess up wires I have going everywhere(under the dash).

Nick thats a great story.

Gonna catch up on my subscribed threads, see y'all tomorrow.

I used spray paint on the powerstroke cover.Take the cover off of the truck first. I spray painted the letters first, let dry, covered the letters with electrical tape,(painters tape would work better) cut around the letters with an exacto, and painted everything else. If you'd like me to paint it send me a PM.

The sabot discards within about 5 yards outside the muzzle... but the plastic serves to not load the rifling grooves, the same as the copper does not build up nearly as fast a a solid lead projectile in , say a 22 long rifle. The lead projo's build up much faster than the copper jacketed in most cases.
