Vanishing Point. Too bad they didn't keep track of those like they did the Bullit Mustangs.

thought I'd kick this out. I read the funny stuff every day. A few members had commented on a Muscle car pic posted. I was 7 years old when Hot Wheels came out, I had some of the originals until my second divorce. I grew up with muscle cars, hot rods and choppers. (and long hair, bell bottoms, and all the other stuff) I am a machine nut. I love mechanical stuff for whatever reason. I have seen all of these cars new, ridden in a lot, and even drove a few. I remember all of the styles we have gone through. Read Hot Rod and Car Craft religously in my younger days. Looking back at some of the stuff makes me cringe but it was whatever was in style at the time. One post I read today was about keeping these old rides original specifically tire/wheel combos. And if that is what you like great! I was a hot rodder, nothing stayed factory original if I owned it and 99% of the old cars were modified. On the specific of tire/wheel combos, remember, a LOT of the muscle cars were ordered with the cheapest OE stuff because they were getting aftermarket "mags" on the day after delivery. There's a segment now that is rebuilding these as "day two" street cars with air shocks and tires sticking out 4 inces from the quarter panels. I remember this and don't like it. We have the skills and tech to keep the ride height down and narrow the rear so that it all fits. And this actually WORKS better so if you are going to modify, why not do it the way it SHOULD have been originally? That's just my opinion of course. Anyway, I could never buy an original survivor or restored muscle car because I'd modify it and drive the hell out of it. That's what they were built for. Same reasoning for my not buying unfired collectable firearms that I would love to own, I'd shoot it. So after all the rambling, what is your favorite muscle car and why? Would you restore original or modify it? Yes, the 1970 Coronet R/T is the top of my list without question or Challenger. 70 Challenger is in the top 5 as is 70 Cyclone. And all MUST have a big block.

An "I was there" moment. This is the most angry, formidable looking muscle car ever. If you've never had this roll up behind you on a two lane you can't understand. Had a customer when I delivered newspapers as a kid who had a Plum Crazy with white top, stripes, interior, 440 4 speed Coronet R/T and been in lust ever since. Same year Super Bee is near tie for second place on my wish list.

Most firearm trainers will say to have two of your primary arms in case you are ever involved in a shooting. They will confiscate your firearm until the investigation is complete and you are cleared. Having a duplicate means you don't have to learn a new primary. Sadly, I haven't the focus to get two of the same, I want something different most often.

You guys are going to cause Mama to ban me from TGO. Putting such ideas in my head! Fortunately, I do not have the necessary tools to build a bowling ball mortar. I say this without even reading the instructions. However, golf or tennis balls are possible. LMAO!

Welcome!

I need it, just can't swing it right now with the cost of fencing I'm doing. Bad timing for me. I'll regret it later. GLWS

the lever gun anonymous club is waiting with baited breath on price.

Our big girl loves fruits and veggies. Timmy will take a carrot and drop it. Most times he'll eat apple, he prefers them peeled. Matilda has swiped tomato off of the counter.

I go there, our insurance pays for it all. Lucky in that respect I suppose. I was falling asleep everywhere, watching TV, working, sitting at stoplights, even in slow moving traffic on the interstate. I still have issues but nobody on I24 has to worry now. Yeah it is a pain but you get used to it, I can't fall asleep without it at night. Wife says she doesn't sleep as well when the machine isn't on. With all of my other health issues, yes, it is definitely worth it. I had my study done in their facility, very clean, nice room with a nice bed. They do a lot to make it not look like a medical facility. Wife says I still snore but the doc says it's probably my mask leaking because I don't stop breathing and I do have leaks at times.

Safe bet

His advice might be unnecessary in TN. 2 suspects still on the loose in deadly Harrison home invasion (msn.com) But as I have been trained, shoot to stop the anti-social behavior. Center of mass.

Quite a valid point. FIx it and sue the at fault. Should be a slam dunk with the history of that ship. My thinking is the fed dollars will never be returned, prices will increase due to using other ports, the shippers and ports will make a profitt and any money recouped from the ship owners will be diverted to the companies who take a "loss" over the whole mess. In essence, we will pay twice to rebuild. Also, I'm totally untrusting of anything coming out of Joe's mouth.

I stand corrected,,,partially. (open mouth, remove foot) I know it will impact shipping and commerce, still not my tax dollar responsibility. Increased costs by the affected goods would cover it just like during the pandemic when everyone was getting fed dollars. Still the ship owner's responsibility though Maritime laws differ from US or International law.

Jaw dropping. I remember when the old Jefferson St bridge in Nashville was demolished. It was a big thing, televised event. We all watched in anticipation until the charges blew. and waited,,,and waited. Nothing happened to that unsafe for use bridge. So they did it again the next day and, nothing happened. Took demo experts three attempts to bring down an "unsafe" bridge. One freighter took down Key bridge in seconds. Second, why does the clown in chief think it's MY tax dollars that are needed to rebuild? Baltimore, the state of Maryland, and the shipping company's insurance companies need to take care of this bridge I've never crossed or even seen in a state hundreds of miles from me and not on a federal interstate highway. Don't tell me the repercussions of this port being closed, NOT MY PROBLEM.

Wise choosing to have pros do it. I'm in process of putting in about 300 feet of field fence on t posts to keep my dogs in. Not as simple as it would seem. Gates will come later as I can use the woven wire as a flex gate to get the mower through. I have an AKC Great Dane and a shelter rescue half Dane. Shock collars only work until they decide to do whatever it is they are going to do. And they have. I would not trust the underground fence. However, if your pup would respect the collar I would recommend the sat collar. No wire whatsoever and tracking feature. You can set the boundaries anywhere so it would travel with you wherever you went. And NO UNDERGROUND WIRE

The Mustang appears to be a 1970 model. Could be a 69 but no earlier. So 70's is best guess.

My wife said if you come to walking horse country, leave the truck at home. for me, wish I had my 1980's vintage MAC in drive air ratchet back. that thing was a,,,well ti was too small for a hoss but it was great. I bought a lot of MAC back then. They are high quality stuff. As the aforementioned air ratchet, it was smaller than everyone else's and had more torque. My boss was impressed also as it out hossed his Snap-On.

Older sisters maybe. Check the median age on here. there's a topic on here somewhere regarding that. With some of y'all, it'd be wives.

that's scary stuff. God bless. I'm right with y'all having multiple surgeries, not fun at all. The only upside is my family gets lots of laughs while I'm medicated. yeah, the plates and screws know when the weather is turning bad.

hello. right around the corner here outside Shelbyville. welcome aboard.

Welcome, and damn, another E Tennessean? They have all the good deals over there.

Welcome. Hope you enjoy it here.

Everything I own has been fired. I have two new-to-me that I have yet to get to the range, but they've been shot. Some guys are collectors of history or art when it comes to guns, no desire to shoot them. I believe it. Just like the reference to collector cars, some are bought for investment. If you bought a rare gold coin would you carry it in your pocket? As far as believing what is posted, I trust but verify. None of my dealings with TGO members gives me reason to distrust. If you don't trust the seller or believe the worth of the item, just move on. @Tom B damn, shoot that thang! I'd love to get hold of a 97B! Had an EAA witness .45 years back, loved it and think the CZ might be better. My one exception might be a vintage royal blue python, those are just SO pretty. But I don't have vintage Python money so the glass front velvet lined case will just be for someone else.

I do have to plug in the light on my nightstand pistol occasionally
