yea, we were getting tornado warnings for a few hours and I live 30 miles from there.
My wife got a warning when she was driving home from work that said pull over and take shelter.
She was 30 miles away and it was blue skys and sunny

The need to do better on the geolocating of the warnings

After much consideration, I have decided that Billy's allowed to make at least one "cracker" reference given the number of servings of "white rice" he's had to put up with here since buying his Honda.

Appeals will be considered as necessary.

Now...about those tacos... ¡Vámanos pues!

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Just got a good chuckle

I live in a relatively small town maybe 9000 people

I was at the post office picking up some mail from my PO box and this nice old lady, probably pushing 85 years old points to my Targa and says" Its that black car yours" I say yes Ma'am it is. She then asks "Is that a Lamborghini or a Porsche" I reply It is a Porsche, a Lamborghini is lower and more expensive" She smiles and says "it sure is pretty and I bet goes real fast, wish I had one" as she walked out the door and climbed into her brand new Ram 3500 Laramie longhorn dually.

Two things: One: she can't pull a loaded horse trailer with a Targa and Two: "climbed into her dually" was as an operative literal term.

Back in the day I had a supervisor who was from Georgia and he kept calling himself that term(not Cracker Barrel). I kept counseling him on why that was inappropriate to say. He never picked up what I was putting down. Some people are simply incorrigible.

Damn. Maybe St Louis is worth going to!



In addition to adults being allowed to play too, they apparently serve alcohol to boot for even more fun.

Anyone have a recommendation for cheap "limited use" insurance? We finally have a third car, which means I can get Hagerty, etc. But a lot of them limit driving to shows and the like, at least from what I've seen. I don't mind a yearly mileage limit (I do about 5K a year, less now), but I don't want to be limited on what I do with it. I also want agreed value.

For the 911 I looked into "Milewise" by Allstate but FYI they want you to plug in an OBD2 dongle for that - to which I say... :lol:

So I didn't do it. Do you have a teenage driver? Paying 6 mos. at a time, bundling home insurance, 3 cars on policy, my insurance is cheap as hell thanks to my Uniden R3 :D
