An unapologetic thread about "manly" things...

Here's my manly shit. The purest form of motorsports and my first love. Started racing at 13 y/o at Amago Speedway in Warner Springs, CA. May that track RIP. Then, started rebuilding kart motors in Carlsbad ,CA at Hi-Rev engineering and setting up KRT chassis for customers right after i got my license. When i was racing 2 strokes, If you showed up to the track with blue painted motor fins, everyone knew you had the power to get to and stay in the front of the pack.

I will be racing karts and part of the PNW karting community until Jesus Christ comes back or I breathe my last breath. I am absolutely the happiest nutjob in the pits 😁 The kart track community and being in the seat was my first sanctuary of peace of mind, well before church ever was. Everything mentally is "shut off" when i'm out on the track and purely reacting to the sensations at play. When everything is shut off for a period of time.....I'm really happy after the reset.

I used to get to that place while long distance swimming. After about a mile sometimes I'd find my mind watching me swim from the top of the pool area. Totally restful.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Dude, it's all about that credit rating!! They have been indoctrinating that forever. Kinda funny that if you are debt free and a vast amount of cash available that your credit rating is in the shitter. In debt so deep that it consumes 90% of your income and your credit rating is good.
The "how much can you afford to pay monthly" is the societal way.
The other big con/bs indoctrinated into everyone is the mortgage interest deduction. Pay 3-4 dollars in interest to bank on mortgage to save a dollar on taxes. Figured that one out when I was young. Just another scheme to help banks make easy money, realtors more commission money, and get the populace to buy more home than they need.

Isn't that the M76 version? In order to make it work, wouldn't you have to cut off the anti rotation tabs from the handguard or mill in slots for them like on the M89 version? I believe it's also just slightly smaller at the flare in the receiver, so the M89/L89 handguard would sit a little proud since it's slightly larger in diameter than the M76/wedgelock.

that is part of the Dave Ramsey idea. personally i have house F&C. prop tax like all serfs,monthly utilities. had no car payment until latest total wreck. i maintain no debt but auto. my reasoning was that my income can tank (pension,SS) with the coming collapse. that is just like your wages,investment income,etc. my thought is that i can maintain when things go bad with having some $ in bank. i know that will likely crash when everything else does,but...my thought is that when/if a crash comes i will be 1 of millions and gov will hopefully take a big hit and be unable to function at its current level so most of us might be ignored. LOL.
