    Who else is ditching their smartphone.

    We have a similar rule as when we were growing up; no phone use while eating dinner.

    Who else is ditching their smartphone.

    Who here remembers calling Time and Temperature on their house phones?

    Who else is ditching their smartphone.

    I did that a couple years ago and was off for about a year and a half. I am thinking I might do it again because the anti-gun talk is killing me (Possible pun?). Also, can we stop hearing about Hogg? We give him WAY too much attention when he deserves none. See, there I go again. I need to just...

    Who else is ditching their smartphone.

    Same. I am a stay at home dad but work on the side and use it when I am running around. Our phones have actually become a lot more to us. Not because of social media, but because of the other things they can do. For instance, we ditched satellite radio because they kept driving the cost up and...

    Power vs Handling

    Really depends. I was just in both situations. Most of my life I just wanted the fastest thing in a straight line. I really didn't care. I had a B7 Audi S4 that handled really nicely. Got bored, but I think it's because it only had 340hp. Today, it seems like you don't have to completely give up...

    1st C7ZR1 on the Dyno

    TC still leaves a lot to be desired. It kills the throttle tremendously if you don't have it in track or sport mode, and even in sport mode, it still tends to do too much at times. You use all of the torque almost immediately and you use all of the power in the upper speeds, so it's not a...

    1st C7ZR1 on the Dyno

    Yes, a lot of performance oriented vehicles are dynoing well because the manufacturers know they will be dynoed and called out immediately. BMW has been doing it for years and it's nice to see other companies starting to give more conservative numbers on claimed hp. HCs dyno at about 640.

    Tesla P100D vs Dodge Demon -street race .slow Tesla ?

    Lol Yeah, should have left the street DRs on. My “shitty” 555Rs would have been better than that. I think he might have pulled out in second? I see HC folks doing that sometimes. I never liked it.

    zl1 stolen from dealership

    I have had a few friends over the many years that have vehicles stolen from them. If you want them back, then go for it. If someone steals my car, I don’t want it back. Every single one of them that got their’s back had problems with them. One had nasty scratches and a sound from the suspension...

    zl1 stolen from dealership

    Alright alight, you bastages. My post went off on a tangent that may or may not have been off topic..ok, ok, it was off topic...a bit. I re-read it and it was not my best work. My quick logic was relevant to my area, not everyone’s. We have a large population of illegals. In order to operate a...

    zl1 stolen from dealership

    Currently, the GM performance drive trains are among the most expensive and desired on the black market. CTS-Vs are being stolen on flatbed trucks right in front of peoples’ homes and right in public in front of everyone watching. How many people buy these cars and cant make a payment? Not...

    $2,000,000 SUV! Built in China. Based on Ford F-550. Looks like a stealth fighter.

    But the real question is, can it deflect radar detectors too. Lol Only a top speed of 87mph. Wouldn’t be able to take advantage of that much anyway. Cool concept, but exectition is terrible. They certainly didn’t want American cstomers with that.

    School shooting in Maryland

    The kids are usually getting them from their parents. In Texas, its the law to lock up your firearms. Yet another law that you cannot enforce or monitor. We only see the results in cases like this. All of my firearms are locked up. I have a bedside biometric safe (I clean the glass every time...

    School shooting in Maryland

    Hind sight, there were at least two kids back in my school that I now realize had the potential to be a school shooter. THese kids were just not right in the head. Yes, they were bullied, however, one kid didn’t have a father in his life, his mother was poor and, well, didn’t seem to pay much...

    The housing market

    $1800 for 700sq ft, then noticed you were in CA and not surprised. Cali is insane, and stupid, for that matter. They area destroying their economy and before you know it, nothing but rich people and homeless people wil be left. Isn’t that ironic? Dems, the “heroes” of the poor, are killing the...

    Just ordered another firearm

    Funny story. I knew a guy that is in his 60s now. He was a life long hunter. Been around the world and extremely experienced. He taught me a lot. He was a close friend’s dad, actually. My friend was a very good hunter too. Anyway, he would carry his rifle around by the scope. He literally used...

    The housing market

    In our town, there is a building bubble. It’s about to pop and put a LOT of construction guys and builders out of business. Then again, about 1/4 of them or more weren’t in business before the market took off, so its not as big of a hit as it seems. These new builders will all be gone and the...

    Just ordered another firearm

    Perhaps I should have ended my original post with “If some moron posts about how they built theirs for cheaper, just stop”. :P So I actually ordered a different color and didn’t realize it. Lol It’s ok, still love the color. I think they all looked cool, honestly.

    The housing market

    I haven’t been paying attention to the rest of the country because my area seems to be in a bubble. I live in College Station, which is not far from Houston. Houston has been exploding in population and success since about 2012. As the houses started flying off the market, demand went up...

    Im very Impressed with Procharger!!!

    I had a 2014 with ROUSH supercharger and it was blown within a few months of selling it. No idea if he had done anything to it, but it was a pretty conservative tune when I sold it. Should have been well within its safe limits. Had 8k miles too!! Can’t wait to start seeing 18s with FI...wait...

    I hate nissan dealership

    So what you’re saying is, they have to pull the struts off anyway, so why not have them just replace the struts while they are doing the job, but they want you to pay the full labor cost of doing it? Surely that should be prorated. Sounds like they are pulling a scam.

    Just ordered another firearm

    My collection isn’t extensive by any means. I am just trying to fill all of my hunting “wants” and needs. This will be a longer range hog/coyote gun. My AR-15 is mostly for varmints and self defense (protecting the range, not the house itself), I have a 700 30-06 that has been by my side since...
