1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Hellcat PT Cruiser

 

That would be fun to drive if they still made them. Didn’t the car go extinct years back?

 

Back in the day, Chrysler would put a V10 in anything you wanted in it for a while. So I've been told.

PT Bruiser

 

The hellcat charger gets 22 mpg highway. Why can’t Toyota even come close to that with their v8 tundra?

Again, mysteries of the universe.

 

I bet i could get 22 if i really wanted.

 

Downhill and in neutral is the only way I’ll achieve it.

 

I said an unforgivable, or should I say deplorable, bad word. At least that's what I've been told in an explanation that consisted of three words.

Can't say I'll be checking in too often because I don't like sn_wfla_es. I probably can't post that word either. I'm sorry to anyone I offended by posting two words thanking a super special someone for taking my wife's job weeks before C_ristmas (that words a bad one I'd assume too). Glad the mods reminded me that a pickup truck forum is under the direction jurisdiction of the PC police.
I might check in on Instagram under karmakannon1 or other forums if any other irredeemable degenerates want to communicate. Maybe, or maybe not. I have a long travel trailer to build and no time to censor every other word like I'm talking to a child. If this or anything else I've posted offends anybody... I am sincerely sorry and I wish you the best life ever.

 

I dunno man, I said it after this guy tried to accuse us all of being one, so it can't be totally taboo. Not on IG here, else I'd keep tabs.

 

Because Toyota doesn’t do cylinder deactivation… which hemis LOVE blowing up because of

 

Followed.

 

Damn, it’s like 65 degrees out. If it weren’t pouring out, it would be a perfect night to sit outside and drink a few beers. Too bad it’ll be 45 degrees it tomorrow. Wish I had a porch like my old apartment.

 

We had that today. Wake up, it's like 70-something outside. Go to my friend's brewery to add a wireless mic to their sound system, an hour later it's pouring outside, leave an hour after that and it's liek 50-something outside. I think possibly the same front that was spinning up the whirlygigs in Noah's state.

 

I don't like every post of yours. But, I don't need to, I'm an adult. I like the majority of them, and you have great insight which I appreciate. Nobody likes all of my posts and some probably think I'm an idiot, and that's fine, I learned a long time ago that trying to please everyone pleases no-one. Social media is tricky, intended messages are not always received as intended. The mods are running a forum which is a business, and they have to use judgement when enforcing the COC. Rules are subjective, and individuals are tasked with enforcing them. We don't all have to agree.
What I really want to say is it would be great if you would stick around.

 

Sorry to beat a horse. I was just thinking about: PHM once came at me strongly (I felt) about a suspension decision I made that was wrong. I learned a lot in that post, made corrections. @BubbaW basically told me my build thread sucked, in a funny way - he was right. I deleted a bunch of needless BS. I'll have to track him down, out of nowhere a member told me my welds sucked and why. I wish I had known a long time ago. @Darkness @Casper421 @daveeasa @shifty` @Openbaffle @empty_lord @des2mtn @FirstGenVol @Tundra2 (very incomplete list) and many others are more subtle with their insight. Ah, @shifty` maybe less subtle, but he works the hardest. I appreciate all of you.

We don't always hear what we expect. Thank god. We don't always hear good job. Sometimes we say things the wrong way. Sometimes we say something and don't expect the response we get. And, sometimes we learn what to do, or how to say something, or to reconsider what we thought was right, within the current guidelines or possibilities.

I don't agree with all of the rules or guidelines here. How could I? I didn't make them. But I like it here, so I try to play by the rules as I understand them. I quit Twitter, because I could not play by the rules, theirs or mine. I could be gone from here tomorrow, it would not matter. But, I hope you real contributors continue to walk the line between praise and criticism, and avoid the potential penalties for engaging the wrong way, by forum standards.

It's worth being here, even if we are taken a back once in a while. Don't let pride mess with you (Pulp Fiction had different verbiage).

Tell me where to take it in a PM anytime. I'll tell you back.

 

My nieces have been scouring FB for reported sightings of the other dog. Some reports fo similar dogs. They are worm out from yesterday, and have asked us to go out, and look.

I told my sister, and BIL yesterday to be prepared for the worst news, but hopeful for the best. They told me that Roxie had lived a good life, and was old.

Perhaps Jugghead faired better. Juggy

 

Glad you're back, always appreciate your posts... hope you choose to stick around.

Very well said. The forum can be very humbling at times as you mentioned, and some parts/ rules I don't necessary agree with. I also think there's a little bit of selective enforcement in some areas, but it seems that's almost unavoidable due to the subjective rules that are at the mods discretion. There's little way I could have acquired some of my knowledge without participation here.

I hope really hope Mr. Lee comes back to fan the flames.

 

phm was never a body and suspension guy from what i’ve read about him. kinda like in the movie there were the face and body models and then their were the rare hand guys. beeing one that picks up on patterns i could see his cycle was pretty regular and on time near the end of every month..

 

that alabammy dealer has a sweet parts special. had to rub my eyes on the prices becuase they so low

 

But was PHM really a PHM? I guess we’ll never know.

Mysteries of the universe.

 

@Tundra2 , glad that you and yours are okay. Sorry to hear about the pooch and here's hoping the other one is safe. When I heard about that nader, my first thought was "I hope Tundra2 ain't near there...".

I hope y'all can rebuild quickly.

 

My son has been watching these weird garbage truck shows(asmr type stuff) with miniature trucks and stuff.
Apparently they will give anyone a hand gig, wrist tattoos, calluses, you name it.
Heather would have a aneurism!

 

Ha! You're too kind.

Subtlety was never my strong suit. That really kicked my ass in life, right up until we had kids and I realized: If I didn't dial things ay down, I'd be amplifying my own misery.

 

I put the part in and went from dealer to dealer in the search, some random FL zip code. Same part ranged from $175 to under $100.

 

Thanks for thinking of me, and us. Turns out, there's another pooch that looks similar to the niece's pooch in the areas we were looking. Didn't make sense how it could have been on the other side of the county anyway...

It wasn't far off. As posted about earlier, Wyatt and I were smoking cigarettes looking up it's Nader arsehole at work.

The devastation in my sister's neighborhood is just unreal...

I asked my sister if she needed anything. Clothes. Food. Present replacements. Etc. She declined all help from me (and all family members.) which I find strange, but accepted help from the church, and some kind of weird crowd sourcing thing that someone local started.

Most importantly, they are warm, dry, and have somewhere to sleep.

 

Any hand model that doesn't have manicured hands is suspect. I called him out for cutting his own nails with what seemed to be a $2 nail cutter.

 

Yea, any self respecting man chews em off.

 

Even plumbers!

 

I know a Vietnamese lady who will cut, clean and polish those for $5. Only downside is you can't understand a word she says.
