    Tariffs

    You don't "lose" anything until you sell. Not sure why you all keep using this terminology and are stuck in that mindset.

    Have you watched "Adolescence" on Netflix?

    Fortunately, they are. She's still trying to hide the negativity of it all and I can still see the hurt (we've known each other most of our lives, it's pretty clear). However, she has remarried with her third child and she found an amazing guy that takes very good care of his 4 Girls, now. He's...

    Have you watched "Adolescence" on Netflix?

    One of my buddies from Middle School in Vista did something along the same lines. He was a good looking guy, very smart... but liked the romanticism of being a badass just like your friend. He committed suicide during his Bank robbery and left his wife with two beautiful girls. His wife was...

    It's Saturday April 5th 2025.. What is everyone doing this weekend?

    Got an invite a couple of weeks ago from an old Street Racing Buddy/Boss from the 90's to go out to Ocotillo to get his Granddaughter and my Daughter together as they are the same age. Unlike my old crew from here, his phone works which allows friends to actually hang out and spend time...

    Speed UTV

    I doubt it. I didn't touch mine until 3,000 miles... it had been all over the western US in all kinds of terrain.

    Speed UTV

    Back in 2012/2013... you could have put 80 XP 900's on a ride and not had the same level of issues these things have had.

    Anyone have a hook up on car audio?

    Memo!!! Dude... how are you doing?! I can't believe I pulled you into this thread.

    Who did the lowered mini truck deal in the 1980’s?

    My brother got My Mom's 1981 Toyota LONG BED 4x4 in High School, tossed a 7" Skyjacker lift on that biotch with some Alcoas and 35's. Stock gearing. Matching Camper Shell and Carpet kit. I would give my left nut to have that truck back in my possession. We never did the Mini Truck thing but...

    good place to get wheels. Audi a5

    My experience with Import cars and wheels over the last 27 years has been pretty much exactly what John pointed to. TSW has always been the go to for quality, well priced wheels. If you want Gloss Black, they would have the most choices along with pricing. A good 19" wheel will be $250 on...

    San Diego Powder and Protective Coating raided

    Send me the DM (location, etc). I can ask around and keep my ears open. I have moved on to the Semi Conductor/Big bad Ass Laser industry so I don't interact with as many Machinists as I used to but I'll see what I can find.

    2024 GMC 2500 AT4 Smoked Side marker lights

    Yeah... Dale... WTF? Why have you not spent an entire weekend hammering the ALL the clear coat and 2/3 of your paint off the new ride, for the Internet's approval?!

    Trading In or Selling a Deleted Truck

    Their offers are generated via the HJBB perceived value, KBB isn't even on their radar.

    SU Sand Cars New Building and Dyno

    He makes this comment on every builder thread and IG, but Alumicraft. Anytime a Funco, Buckshot or SU is posted, it's the same comment. Don't get me wrong... I'm an Alumicraft guy myself... but a Gabe Agana and Dana - Alumicraft/ASC Speedmetal fan more than the rest of the company.

    Well its Friday March 28th 2025.. What are you doing this weekend?

    Was supposed to hang out with Rockwood Saturday to pick up trash left by Biden voters however; The Girls woke up late and I ACTUALLY switched over to start my 8 month old Versatube setup for my Weekend Warrior HKD 4005. Trailer sits in a slightly level Horse Corral, need to dig the frame base...

    I have a bone to pick with all of CA!!!

    Must be from the Hispanics moving in, that can't reach the Hose spigot in case of a fire.

    San Diego Powder and Protective Coating raided

    I worked at Western CNC (Ashcraft Racing's Machine shop) for a spell and was there in 2019 when ICE audited the employees and they lost about 80% of their workforce. It turned the whole company upside down and showed how much Danny Ashcraft was relying on Illegals to make his profits. My job was...

    Boyz Trip #38 in the books

    I never had any issues (ON BONE STOCK SUSPENSION, BARS, STEERING STEM), we routinely spent +/- 90 days a year out there... in the dunes. It's a big place... there's fresh sand in a lot of areas that caged vehicles don't even venture to. Not sure if you remember but I had a RZR that led a lot...

    Is the Wayback Machine in the cloud?

    I used it to find old pricing on Tom Pro's website when he started to bend me over on my Hayabusa Car build. He changed the price on the frame by a couple of G's and said he didn't. I showed him the old website screenshot and that was the day I began to realize the best Hayabusa Car builder was...

    Boyz Trip #38 in the books

    Looks like an amazing trip, glad you had a great time. With that said, it's highly disheartening to see such a lack of Dirtbikes and Quads in these groups, these days. I'm 46... have zero desire to be in a vehicle with a seat, in the dunes.
