    Kid needs a power wheel. Suggestions?

    Whatever you get, get an aftermarket battery from ML toys. Not just more speed but more importantly more run time and expected life from the battery. I put the extended run time battery on my son's Corvette which they say "adds a touch of speed" but I'm here to tell you it hauls me around...

    It’s my money and I want it now!

    You have to take a lie detector test to become a cop? Is that in most states? So they use a test that often (always?) cannot be used in court because of it's proven inaccuracy to screen candidates for their team? Irony and hypocrisy at it's finest LOL

    Discussion of the future of gasoline cars and their values

    In a way I hope you are right, but can you imagine the repercussions for these automakers and the economy if all of these investments into the EV sector are for nothing? I live in upstate SC where a huge BMW plant has been operating with great success for years. They just announced they are...

    Discussion of the future of gasoline cars and their values

    I’d like to get everyone’s take on the future of gas powered cars and even gas itself. There is a lot of doom and gloom rhetoric out there about the two and I’d like to get more info before I draw my own conclusion. My main questions are: 1. Will gasoline remain available for the next 30+...

    From the archive: IROC vs. 5.0

    In high school, I had a super clean black '89 IROC with the 305/5spd. I loved the car. It was definitely more torquey than fast.. Best I could get out of it stock was about a 9.0 in the 1/8th mile. I ended up putting a cam in it but sold it before I took it back to the track. The car would do...

    SVTP stock pick thread.

    I am getting cash ready for a dump into the market at the bottom. I wanted to do this when COVID hit but wasn't in a position to at the time. I'd like to take advantage this time. Have you guys had success doing this with select undervalued single stocks in the past or is an S&P index fund a...

    Top Gun Maverick: Review hopefully no major spoilers

    We saw it Saturday and it was thoroughly entertaining. Best we have seen in a long while. My only gripe is some of the unrealistic elements but I guess that's par for the course in Hollywood movies- These aren't documentaries after all..
