    @kl8ton Mystery solved as I use Firefox and don't get the option to search image in Google.  When I switched to Chrome the option is available.  And here I gave you such credit.  =)

    atleast now i now to switch from firefox to chrome. the beauty of the pc, i still have to use aol from time to time on some sites to work properly which is mind blowing
    There are extensions you can add to Firefox that will give you image search options. You don't HAVE to switch to Chrome jut for that ability.

    I know it doesn't mean much without a picture but I spotted a new white Ford GT on the road this afternoon. I unfortunately wasn't able to get a picture as it was driving the opposite direction on the highway. The first I've seen in the wild.

    Saw this posted on Reddit a few hours ago.  One of only 44 yellow Carrera GTs in North America!?  That is in the $1.5M+ price bracket.  Terrible way to spend a Sunday. OP said it happened earlier today.


    The view is good from here, but I’m guessing another angle may indicate collision(?). 


    This was like the car Paul Walker was killed in.

    I am a fan of the autos which come from Stutgart and Leipzig. This was one of the most insane vehicles ever to come from a company which prides itself in elegant brutality. There wasn't anything "elegant" about this car. This car was all brutality, and if not respected and treated with kid gloves..it would kill you..

    The only other auto which comes into the same class, in my opinion, is the '66 Shelby Cobra Super Snake...which was a twin turbo 427 kicking 800/hp and weighing 2,550/lbs..

    The sound of this vehicle wouldn't be challenged until the Lexus LFA hit the streets.

    I heard one of these at 2am rolling well above 150/mph through the runway tunnels of 285 in ATL. #amazing

    Have:
     XLBGE / Stumps Baby XL / Couple of Stokers (Gen 1 and Gen 3) / Blackstone 36 / Maxey 3x5 water pan hog cooker
    Had:
    LBGE / Lang 60D / Cookshack SM150 / Stumps Stretch / Stumps Baby

    for the one or two times i would need to do that its easier to switch. all the covid relief for small business was in chrome, asme forms apps etc are aol, im used to changing. even my last mortgage didnt work in firefox for what ever reason. it doesnt seem to be a perfect world. drew a line with the phone with this kind of stuff, dont want my worlds to cross ;)

    Or if I ever needed a reason to smile,

    It is a southern thing.  Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee thing.  Very steep climbs in mud, rocks, and trees.

    Our trails around here would shred those tires and when you flip and tumble down here you go hundreds of feet down with no trees to stop you.

    The owner of this runs it down in Sonora, MX.  Lots of sand and dunes.

    How can those "wheel cones" even be street-legal?

    If total width is 8' or less then it is legal.  These most likely extend past 8', but Texas probably has other things to worry about.

    @Ozzie_Isaac - after slumming thru your pedestrian flight, where in Texas are you?  Independent of the cones, the ride has been well cared for.  Great finish-likely ceramic coated.
    Coulda done a more professional convertible top storage job.  B)
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    I am in Austin this week.  The ride looked really good.  The first one had a gorgeous candy peach finish.  Super deep with the amount of clear coats and metal flake in it.  Overall both rides looked really good.  The bass was pretty impressive too.

    I would say that ogling rides from your hotel merits an intervention.  Head to Loro if you want to enjoy great fusion food. Brisket with chop-sticks-a whole new experience.

    A friend posted a photo of his new boat taken during a regatta.  I want to see if he is willing to park it on a lawn on Texas.



    Not drone photo either, actual helicopter.

    That's funny. I have a friend who was flying in a helicopter regatta and he texted me that some buttmunch In a fast boat kept taking pictures of his helicopter.  I can't help but think you and I know the same people @Ozzie_Isaac
