Yup, that seems likely. Around here, “the shit” gets shot on a regular basis. In fact, I would guess that “the shit” and “the breeze” get shot most often, with “the bull” running a close third.

Sounds like you're conducting retired guy psyops on the seller :D. In fairness, he did lower the price a bunch and is willing to sell at a competitive price. Poor bastard is way upside down, probably works 90 hours a week, and now he has to deal with this guy who has nothing but time to F with him....

Finishing up building a couple new sets of Clydesdale-worthy wheels for the two-wheeled hooptie. In a moment of weakness, I agreed to accompany Mrs. KoB on some easy-ish rail trail/bike path kinda rides. So far I’ve discovered that the engine produces nowhere near enough horsepower or torque, tires ...

Was at a little car show last night and there happened to be a couple nice E-Type Coupes....so much want Back in the day (80’s) one of my college friends restored an E-Type Roadster ... pale yellow with a black top. That car was absolutely stunning. I lost touch with him; I hope he still has it. I ...

I kinda hope Alonso wins. I’d like to see him take a few more shots at winning the Indy 500, which will probably be more likely if he’s going for the Triple Crown.

Good post, KC, and great questions ... for which I don’t think I’ve got answers. I haven’t bought anything as far up the food chain as the A8L ... Mrs. KoB and I have generally stuck with Acuras and Infinitis, which I think of as “sort of” luxury brands. Both brands seem to have depreciation curves ...

I have a Beltronics STiR Plus that I never got around to installing. I may revisit that over the summer, assuming that everything else settles down and more car-futzing time becomes available I also have an older Bel RX-65 that I bought used for not much money — sub-$50, IIRC. Works pretty well and ...

1) I am far too old and lame to swing an ax that hard. 2) If I DID swing an ax as sharp as those anywhere near that hard, I would kill myself and everyone else within a 300 ft. radius. Somehow YouTube recommended this to me. So...Ok, both cuts are GOOT! I knew a couple guys in college who were comp...

Damn, b3, you got that backwards ... with the ice caps melting, we need MORE sponges!

Wow! Nicely done and documented. Thanx. Agreed. By far the best DIY I’ve seen on this. I’m fighting a non-illuminated odometer that doesn’t seem to be a dead bulb, so my gauge pod has been in and out a couple times. I’m probably going to have to send it out for repair over the winter unless I spot ...
