    New to me car….C6 Z06

    After many years and many variants of mustang ownership I finally decided to see what the other side was about and bought a Z06. Its a 2007 Ron Fellows edition with 15k miles. The car is very impressive to drive and I wish I had made the move to buy one sooner before prices went crazy. I was...

    Quarter Midget Sponsorship

    Some of you may have seen the thread where my 7 year old son started racing quarter midgets this year. He had a helluva season as a rookie. 15 total races, 9 podiums, and 4 wins including a national event win. For 2023 we are moving up out of rookie and adding a second car. That being said if...

    New to me car day

    I’m last three vehicles have been trucks due to need, but I finally got to a point that having a truck isn’t necessary. I picked up this 2019 Grand Cherokee SRT tonight. I gotta say after having a few quick cars over the years, the launch control on this thing surprised me. I can’t wait to put...

    Quarter Midget experience

    My son turned 7 a couple of months ago and asked me when was he old enough to be a race car driver. So we found a local quarter midget track that did an arrive and drive tryout last fall. Needless to say he was hooked. Fast forward 4 months and we are starting his rookie season next month. Just...

    First boat!

    I picked up this 2020 Yamaha AR240 this weekend for some family fun. We’d been looking for about a year half heartedly and then Yamaha came out with some crazy deals for May that made it make sense sooner than later. It’s my first boat so if anyone has any tips or must have accessories let me...

    Las Vegas first time suggestions

    I’ll be in Las Vegas for the NADA convention in a couple of weeks. What are some must do things, recommended places to eat, best shows, etc? This is my first trip to Vegas and I’ll be there with my wife. I only really have maybe two days that aren’t tied up with work events.

    Bought a new bike this weekend

    Picked up this 2019 BMW S1000R on Saturday. The Harley needed a garage buddy! It’s an absolutely incredible machine that I’ll probably never ride to it’s full potential. Now I need to get these break in miles done before the season is over! Sent from my iPhone using the...

    New truck day!

    I’ve been pulling out 30ft travel trailer with my 16 Ram 1500 for a year now. With plans to move to a larger camper next year I went ahead and pulled trigger on a 3/4 ton diesel. The new truck rocks! It’s a 2018 Ram 2500 with the Cummins. I was lucky enough to find one with pretty much every...

    Rode a new motorcycle this weekend

    So earlier this year I got my motorcycle license and I promptly went out and bought a new Harley Iron 883. My buddy has owned one for a few years and he’s really enjoyed it, and honesty it’s pretty intimidating to go test ride bikes on a fresh license so I went with what I knew. I’ve added a...

    04 mystichrome vert for sale

    So I keep going back and forth about selling my car. After putting about 700 miles on it in the last year it doesn't make much sense to keep it with my work, school, and family commitments. I figure I'll start here before an ad in the market. If you went on the MACA spring cruise a couple of...

    Pulley alignment

    Does this look normal? Billetflow aux idler and billetflow hub/pulley. I would have thought belt would ride more in center of idler.

    Keep current cobra or find another?

    I bought a pretty basic bolt on mystichrome vert earlier this year (no pulley even prior to me) with 42k miles and the mod bug is starting to bite.
