You can get the most bizarre stuff same-day on Amazon. The last thing I had same-day'ed was an electric toothbrush (clutch play,) but my comment is mostly based on the telescope I bought my grandpa :lol:

Amazon delivered it at 2:18PM.

That's some impressive sh*t right there.
You Californi people have all the nice things. Out here you're lucky if you get things in a week even if you are a member...

I wonder what happens if you buy a drone on Amazon - how's that work?

The guy who delivered it seemed kind of boring, but I don't think he was a drone.

Drones delivered by drones = Skynet

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.

So, we had a driving event Saturday morning for the museum - nothing exciting, just a caravan visiting different stops. One stop was at a home for male juvenile delinquents. We had about 25 cars in the group, so we basically did a car show for them. I ended up letting about a dozen of them sit in the Turbro and rev the engine up so they could hear the exhaust.

On a completely unrelated note, B3, does Jake do Mezger rebuilds?

I think it's pretty sad that SLS can't get off the ground despite using all four main engines from previous shuttle launches and solid rocket boosters that are pretty much identical to shuttle SRBs with the addition of one more segment.

I'm a space junkie and NASA fanboy, but this is pathetic.

Isn't this when that baldheaded dickhead used Amelia Earhart's goggles as a prop? That still pisses me off.

I found his cowboy hat egregious, but...the Schnelly family hails from a place in Texas where drugstore cowboys aren't appreciated.

On that note... In the south, when churches can't agree, they split and start *new* churches. (that's one reason why there's a church on every corner down here) Normally I would agree that a church split is NOT the best path, but in light of RL power junky mods, to hell with them. What's wrong with a little fun, sarcasm, and camaraderie? Maybe this forum will grow wings and include our other IMSB brethren - the 997 crowd. Gonzo could be our first!

Well, since it's Sunday and since I just used the church analogy, I must admit, I've backslidden! Yep, it's my daughter's 16 birthday and I used part of my fun money to purchase her a used car. She's just like her mama and knows how to get to my heart. Well anyway, I still have half of the money, but it may be a little longer before I'm in a 996. Hope it doesn't take too long. My luck all there will be left is ragged out '99 models. (no disrespect Slakker)

Oh, and GOoooOoOooOooOOOOOoooo DAWGS!!!!
I'm one of the 997 brethren, apparently several years late in finding this site. I didn't have the background that many of you had been kicked off Rennlist, but was saddened to see the disappearance of your contributions.

Groove made me smart last night in an Off Topic thread. Good to see you guys are still out there sharing. This makes me happy. Thanks!!!
