Now interested in identifying NUT CASES obsessed with PRESIDENT TRUMP and possibly suggesting medication.

...I still would love to take a Dodge Hellcat for a 8500 RPM "stroll" down Route 66 in Nevada. Did that once in my 60 Chev 409 CI back a few. Cost me $77 in court costs but it did 133 MPH. I had to stop and wait for the police chasing me. Those were the days.............

... ran across a bunch of NUT CASES you might be interested in.

Go to YouTube and search "Lincoln Project Unprecedented."

P.S. Speaking of medication - Route 66 does not enter Nevada at any point. Perhaps some Prevagen is in order ??

At risk of wasting ink.... and all along I thought we were through with this obsession of yours but............

Wow, no new "how's stuff" posts here in 21'. So here's an update.............wait for it .......... onaccounta my age and my wife's "TURN HERE" prompting from HER side of the car, yesterday I hit a curb with my 2020 BMW X4 , blew out the tire, bent the "expensive" rim and am now out about $2500 for parts and realignment labor. The ONLY "good" thing is that we're in Florida soakin up the sun while back home they're shoveling the white stuff ad infinitum .
Although we're here, I'm still "at work". . Being a GC, I no longer ( but used to A LOT) carry 12',5/8 doubles from truck to installers and have calluses to prove it( ok, it may have been singles). I have 14 capable , currently employed and working non-stop ( no "regulations") getting paid and not hoping for a dole at the whim of those who haven't a clue.
So far, looking back at previous posts, seems like all are doing well and happy in their lot. I'm looking forward to seeing more of that. Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
