Friend in college had a late 80’s IROC.

We were 2 skinny kids back then.

We tried so many times and so hard we just couldn’t get it going fast enough.

Finally broke down and asked a couple of guys walking past.
I learned to park on a hill. Still got a old m38a1 jeep that all it takes for its little 4 cyls is about 4 feet and it fires right up.

very nice
Check out this site..most comprehensive I have ever seen

Fuck me.
What a load of overworded bullshit.
420 ss can't be hardened - better tell Buck, they've only made tens if millions of blades from the stuff.
I work with stainless steel all day every day, and I'm making knives as a way of relaxing - I'm a little saddened to hear that AEB-L, CPM154 and a bundle of modern stainless cutlery steels are rubbish.
On the other hand, I suppose I'm not his target market.
 
I live in Broussard La. I met Edwin Edwards, nicest crook you’ll ever meet.
Five gallon pot of gumbo with 6 lbs of pork and smoke sausage with 6 lbs of chicken. I cook my roux for 12 hours before I throw anything in it! Boom! 🤣🤣👍

Had a Ford 3/4 ton with the old 300 six. Damaged or broke a tooth on the flywheel. If the engine stopped just right the starter would not engage. So, I always parked it on an incline so if that issue occurred i could roll it a bit, the engage the clutch to turn the engine over a bit to allow the starter to catch.

So much wrong with that truck. After the Vega/Monza debacle, and a Camaro that was the pits, I had turned to Ford. The Fords turned out to be even worse. So, I returned to the Chevy/GMC fold for trucks and our good ole Miata and never looked back. The last two Suburbans I owned and our current GMC pickup have proven to be wonders compared to the vehicles we owned that were built in the 70’s 80’s and 90’s. (Except that 1990 GMC Suburban which went right at 300,000 miles without any major issues)

And it did not skip Crestview...or Niceville.
Well not exactly, our son lives in Valparaiso, which is back to back with Niceville and before he purchased his home, he lived in Crestview. And he is Louisiana born through and through. (Though if truth be known, he is a North Louisiana man.).

No, cause I don’t wanna wake up in a hotel room with one of my kidneys missing… and with my luck they’ll probably take the good one.
Serious question.

If you are kidnapped and taken somewhere where someone would remove your kidney and leave you in a bathtub full of ice, why wouldn't they take both kidneys (and possibly other parts)?

HA!

had a 74 Vega in high school,
decent car, handled well, for a Vega

no idea what the mileage was , gas wise, but between fill ups (as in full tanks) it burned 4 quarts of oil, sometimes more,

hot day?? get up to speed before turning on the AC, if the AC was on and you stopped for a light or stop sign, the car would stall out,



next was a 77 Ford F100 custom, short bed, 300 6cyl an d 3 on the tree,

ran great, strong motor, but the linkage was toast and it would pop loose sometimes,
so whatever gear it was in, you just found a place to pull over, get under it and pop the connections back together,

eventually put a floor shift in it, and no more issues

till I totaled it,


3 vehicle was a Toyota Celica, which had 60K on it when I bought it, and all I ever did to it was a water pump,
 
I’m not sure why Val’p is not a part of Niceville.
Because Val’p was incorporated first. Niceville is on the other side of Boggy Bayou and it was just a small vil when it was incorporated and they were no where close to each other. Then Niceville kept expanding until it ran into Val’P.

On a non related subject, not many folks understand Val’P

Dunno, region 5 has enough money for the best facilities, equipment, training, and can recruit anyone they need. Pretty much like the US in the actual hunger games ehh olympics. They'd take an early beating but would catch up.
Your deflated footballs ain’t skeerin’ no one!
