A wise man PM'd me yesterday: Thanks for (finally) locking the Putin/Ukraine thread! What a freakin' handbag fight it turned into. I'd wholeheartedly support eliminating the whole "politics" section. I know some of you put a lot of effort into the Politics discussions - and I'm sorry that...

Just ordered. I ordered a 3D print of this that didn't fit that cost almost as much.

Completed my annual West Texas driving holiday with friends by zipping home 400+ miles, staying just ahead of the crappy cold/ice/snow front hitting Texas this evening and tomorrow. Car ran flawlessly and trip was a blast. Post-trip cleanup, which'll start after the weather gets above freezing, wil...

Pretty good, I agree. I was rooting for Buffalo because I have friends who are fans and KC has been to it a couple times now.

This is better for me though, because the Giants may be hiring the Bills OC as their HC.

Super exciting games this weekend though.

Thanks

The Pinewood Derby was my favorite part of The Boy being in cub scouts. We came in second in his whole troop a couple years ago. I am convinced the first place kid (younger than my kid) used a pre-built kit, but since I "helped" my kid so much I kept my mouth shut. My Pinewood Derby exper...

and the boy wanted it in the shape of my old 928. Brings a tear to my eye. Did it catch on fire halfway down the track? porsche-928-fire.jpgPorsche-928-myth-1280x720.jpg6b456f0839f9586e535617b16a103e0e.jpg Unfortunately, no although I don't think there could have been any more chaos at that thing i...

Changed the oil with Herr Porsche's Wonderful Tantalizing Oil and Dessert topping and put the car away finally. Boo. Just in time as a "light" predicted snow got us at least 6 inches. See you in April old lady! I should probably order her a water pump over the winter, it's past due.

January is Pinewood Derby month at the museum where we host about 25 different Cub Scout and Girl Scout Pinewood Derbies for kids from all across the KC metro area. So, we clear out our "Drive In Movie Theatre" room, where we host monthly car club exhibits and dedicate it to the scouts. T...

Multiple people spinning off the track. I'm going to guess early morning low track temps, but that's some carnage.
