I'll give Mercedes credit (not for that soccer-dad crap posted earlier). They did make some sexy cars at one point...very sexy.

IINM, Citroën also produced a gull wing model (perhaps not a production car but experimental) back in the early - mid 70's. It was more sleek/modern and would resemble the (relative) modern day "DeLorean." I wish I still had the model # or the pic.

Touchy, aren't we? Did we get up on the wrong side of bed today? :rolleyes:

I never said I knew everything about every last gun out there. Far from it. I only expressed what I thought it could be. I never said for certain that it was. And I was only asking you how you knew it was... And, believe it or not, we are all "actual shooters" here. Some with more experience than others.
Touchy, no. Just stating the obvious. You should relate to that, it kinda seems to be your thing. Almost like you're a captain in it. 🤣🤣

Could be any brand, Crossman, Gamo, Hatsan, Beeman.....
I should have said break barrel.
I don't think its break barrel. It's one that shoots BBs or pellets and you pump it up. Not supposed to pump more than 10 times. Only 1 or 2 pumps for shooting mice in the garage. Did nobody have air rifles as children?

Not today Fedboi.

Polish 🇵🇱 Princess said she felt right at home in TN with the weather (near-identical to her area in PL), loved the lack of diversity, strong Christianity in the general area, and she LOVES BBQ BRISKET (first time having it this way). 🤍🤍🤍

And she was laughing at all the high-calorie people 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Closed escrow on 5 acres in one of the most postcard-perfect neighborhoods I've ever seen. Now the real bullshit begins.

It is time to buy a skid steer, if you don't already have one. A smooth bucket, a toothed bucket, a grapple bucket, and pallet forks. Buy or rent a shredder for it. You'll need it to clean up the land, and build any structures. You could sell it after you've got everything the way you want it, but you won't sell it. Kubota SVL-75 at a minimum.
 
Mmmm, yeah. I’m obviously partial to the German junk but street legal race cars give me a boner

I grew up in an area with very successful car and motorcycle racers in abundance and learned to wrench from a few of them. As an example, the dude that ran the local Chevrolet service department had wrenched for Penske / Donahue during their run in the Trans Am series. We had a couple of NHRA record holders in town, etc. Their daily drivers were fairly sophisticated rides. Most were set up as drag race cars, but some were road racers, like the Chevy service dude's cars. If you want a street legal race car to survive on the road, you need some mods like ride height but there are plenty of options if you have enough buckets of cash.

They really are a force multiplier. And a back saver.

I actually can’t stand the trope “race car for the street”, that makes me cringe pretty hard. I understand the trade offs between street car and race car. But something that leans really far towards race car sounds so fun as a weekend warrior, just not as an actual daily driver

Something like this looks so awesome and I’d probably have a boner every time I drove it. But there is no way I’d drive this more than 100 miles a month

For anyone who has time on track with a track car..there is no such thing as a track/ road car.

Take a gt4 or gt3 porsche and then get next to the same “model” but it’s a real cup car. By the time you get buckled up I’m half a lap ahead. And after the 2nd lap street/track brakes pads would be on fire in a cup car.
