Race hood.   Street hood.   Rain on the engine usually not good.

It's not a daily driver anymore.

Wife hates riding in it. Kids would go deaf.

It mostly hibernates in the garage. 

We need term limits..... Biden, McConnel..... People with mental health and dementia issues being manipulated and told what to do..... Scary times! 

Hit Chattanooga for a tour

Checked out a new distillery and picked up a couple of their high rye bourbons.

Picked up 3 bottles of JD finished in Tequila barrels. 
 

Now on to heat extraction.....

Car cools fine when moving.

Cools fine when sitting with AC off.

Turn AC on not moving and just idling and you can watch the coolant temp rise, rise and rise.

Theory.

All the shit in front of the radiator (Intercooler, trans cooler, AC condenser), heat from LT headers, heat from supercharger, etc., is trapped by the lack of airflow and venting under the hood.

Solution. Chop hole in hood. Rivet hood vent in.

^ Yet this weekend a solar rep offered me about 5 times more for my land than competitive farmers.  $2.2 million dollars to me over 30 years.   I smell a rat, a government subsidy rat.  And subsidized rats have a way of hanging around.

If I had a farm, no way I'd sell it.

I want at least 5 acres, but prices have gone up too much for me.

Would love to raise my own food. Cows, chickens, lamb, veggies.... 

Picked up a Ruger Precision Rifle in .308.

Already got the Barrett Zero Gap rings on with a .10mil 20x42.

Next will be a monopod and bipod along with a Hogue grip.

^ No trailer queens in his garage.

Haters gonna hate... 

No trailer queens here either. I drink'um as I feel like it. I'm not a alcoholic and don't drink to get drunk, so they may empty out slower as a result.  

I do nurse the bottles I love that are hard to find until I can hopefully score a 2nd.

Like the title states it got the best of me, wound up getting Forza Horizon 4 along with 5 and have been playing both and messing with different specs on different vehicles......playing a moment ago I see a CannonFodderFNG gamer tag......Fodder? That you dude?

I've not seen Fodder in forever (since the great Godaddy crash that wiped us out) on here.

Be cool to see everyone come back, but I think Facebook has been the nail in the coffin for forums. 

So what rides you rocking in the real world?

I drank it all.

You’re not buying enough! Go get busy hunting bottles man! Lol 

Scored an old batch 17 STAGG Jr today.

I couldn’t pass it up! 

I also grabbed a Bardstown and Knob Creek 9 year single barrel reserve 120 proof.

So Musk just rebranded Twitter to X. lol

Hot start issue is fixed. Ground cables fix it. Had the car up to 210F coolant temp, idled and drove over and hour. Shut it off and restarted like new! 

Routed one differently.... Only took a few minutes to get this one on. Now on to the battery to trunk ground.

Because communications are SUPER important.

After I do these common fixes for the issue, if it doesn't remedy the problem, I'll look at modules. 

Wow... Easy fix then!

I need a better job

No you don't. You work at NE$. Those jobs pay GOOD base salary over there!  

We make our money via OT. Base salary is shit. 

I'm sure heat soak and age might have degraded my starter.

So I'm going to put this bad boy on as well....

Mine does the same exact thing:

Simple fix to such a frustrating issue...

Well, I was thinking this morning about how long we have before the death of the ICE muscle cars and performance cars in general.

Manufacturers like Dodge are abandoning ICE muscle cars and going electric....

Chevy rumors to be working on an electric Camaro.

Ford claims it's holding out for now on ICE Mustang, but will soon go E.

Should we veen keep our old ICE muscle cars?

Will they actually be desirable like the old muscle cars from the 60's and 70's? 

Resale value go up or down?

What do you guys think?
