    Personal defense stories: who has one?

    I had a car pull in the yard, we live in the country. Was late and I was putting kids to bed. They drove all the way to the back by the shop slowly then turned around and went to the end of the driveway. I grabbed the pistol and the Crocs and approached from the driver side, tapped on the...

    I'm stuck between two rocks and a hard place. I need advice.

    Small business owner here. The only ship that can't sail is a partnership. Somebody has to be the head chief, and everyone has to be ok with that IMO. Going to UPS is going to different, small business vs large corp.

    What happened to races on the street?

    Well, it's easier to chop you're wiener off than your muffler, and its more generally accepted by the public, so what else are the kids going to do? There did seem to be more people willing to run up the gears from a stop light back in the day.

    Are new truck prices really that bad?

    Trucks have always been expensive. Getting worse because now you have to pay for the truck AND some lame EV too. The capability of these new rigs are crazy, though.
