In the 1990's Car and Driver or similar did a test between a 62 Corvette and a Toyota Previa Minivan... the minivan beat it in every category.
Except one.... cool factor!

I tried to coach 2LT’s 45 pistol qualification, holy crap!
We were never on the moon. It was all a hoax.
Guess it's going to be awhile before my grandson gets back to martial arts training. He suffered a major traumatic brain injury during a motocross race Sunday morning. Flight for Life ride to Children's hospital in Madison. Brain surgery Sunday afternoon. Going to be a very long recovery.
I did the same, thankfully we had the old High Standard .22 guv target pistols to break them in with.
One of those guys qual'd expert with the 1911 and took me for a trip in a Tommy Tomcat.
Why yes, I did blow chunks, but it was worth it.
Prayers for your grandson and your family. I raced motocross for many years. Its a insanely exciting sport and very dangerous.
Absolutely agree. Women have much finer motor skills than men. Two biggest obstacles for women are usually recoil and guns are scary. Both are easy to overcome with a .22lr .
you are obviously a pinko commie trying to destroy all that makes america good.
I've taught a fair number of Appleseed events, and as a symptom, yes more men are likely to try to muscle their way through than women at first. But, most are taught out of it easily.
I think the cause of those who fail is bad attitude, and actually it is rare overall, even rare in men as a general rule.
The I already know it all, embarrassed and making excuses, not listening, refuses to admit they are doing it wrong attitude is the problem.
I was also a firearms instructor in the military and law enforcement and found it rare overall there as well.
That attitude is most common in macho alfa types and yes, many were saddly officers.
Shows up to first match bragging, leaves while making excuses, never seen again.
I will third it as well. Did a great deal of firearms 101 training. Women are more open to listening to what you have to say, men think they know it all already. I never had to toss a female from class, but I did show a great number of men the door, some required some assistance to leave.
I think it has to do with a macho thing, but really don't know. If the "new" thing is "manly" men will think they already know everything there is to know about it. If it is not "manly" then they think it is beneath them.

#TBT: Can a minivan be as exciting to drive as a classic sports car?
Compared against the supercars of years past, even the most mundane vehicles of today–like the much-maligned minivan–offer surprising performance.

Any idea how much copper is in a single cable?
At least six rocks worth… to put it in California terms!

Prayers for him and your family.
Amazing what those young people do in their recovery.
How old?
Craig Hospital is absolutely amazing for brain injury rehab if he is old enough.
Boy could this tree tell some tales If it could talk.
( The largest cypress tree in the United States. It’s located on Cat Island in West Feliciana Parish. It’s estimated to be 1200-1500 years old.)

My son, wife and I all raced motocross, it is a great family sport, but tragedy can happen in a nano second. Prayers from our family as we have been there before. Gods blessings for you! Praying for the best.
What is his first name? Helps for prayers.
Prayers going up all around.

Interweb experts say each cable == ~1 kilo of copper.
Less than half as much as the average traffic camera ... pffft.
If Ruger designed engine exhausts.
and the banks and credit card companies don't get a cut.
Most of us are going to die in an old folks home. Better to go out like him than dying in a soiled diaper.
Try coaching a lefthanded Amish with glasses BRM. Just pencil whip that NAPA and go on down the road.
I'll put a Luger in my mouth before I'll go to an old-folks home.
You'll see me on the news as "Cancer patient" with a big pile of brass around my ankles eliminating a prison population or something...
But I'll Never got to a home.
