It's too windy to wash anything today... The neighbors field will just be all over it in a few minutes.... I'm trying to find inside projects today.

slacko, these new fangled cars, have no need for tlc with the patina, what's the fun in that!

All the cars washed, lawn is mowed, now it is time for Rickie to relax

Goddamnn chicken head ghetto smurf tags me on the driver side rear. Screams at me, then u-turns and bolts. Nice. Wife and kids in the car. That was a fun way to spend the afternoon.

Damn Pete, did you at least manage to get a shot off?

Would have - justifiably - given what both the wife and I heard her say when I got around to her door. Luckily, it was still at home in the safe. Havent done CCW paperwork yet.

They picked her up a bit ago. Had to do a lineup - that was a first. Of course she had a whole different perspective on events.

I'm just glad everybody is okay. The car can be replaced.

Since its too windy to be outside, I thought I'd work on this project.....

Wheni bought this board, for cheap, it had the hideous cat on it.... So I coverd it with carbon fiber vinyl like you'd use to wrap a car...


Now phase 2 begins... Which is adapting this piece of Rob Sheridan artwork onto it in reflective vinyl and several colors. :)

Thanks Rick, Cars got maybe $1000 worth of damage. Her front end - plastic bits and headlights were ripped off. Plastic Pontiac. She wrinkled the metal around the wheel well and scraped my bumper cover. Pfft. Wasn't worth running. Cops were damn funny, she must have done or said something to piss them off, prolly threw down a bunch of attitude. They were throwing whatever they could at her. Impounded her ride. Looking for the gun she threatened me with methinks. :-)

That looks pretty sick Sid, can't wait to see the finished product!
Where would someone purchase a small amount of that type vinyl, in flat black? I want to do my riding helmet.

You can get that vinyl on eBay or amazon in small pieces. I ordered 3 yds of the CF for several of my projects... I had to buy it 60" by 3yds, at almost $50/yd...

I wouldn't attempt to wrap a helmet. This stuff will shrink with heat and conform, but you will still get wrinkles. The curves of a helmet are just too much. Even apply small decals to a helmet is tough....

Hey guys and gals, Hershey was packed full today. A lot of fun. My nephew expressed to me that he wants a Porsche Carrera GT. I told him to just make sure his father knows.

Oh by the way, don't forget to support my fiance and me with a vote.

Start saving now.

Tired, need coffee. We're gunna grill in celebration of a victorious engine extraction.

Congrats, but before you claim victory, you need to post a pic of your empty engine bay, Janet. :D

ditto on the photo Janet, so go back out there!!!

Andy, did you get together with the Pelican bunch at the Crab Shack?

Also Andy, did you actually buy anything?

Pete, I can't imagine having someone hit me here, I would not know what to do in case I go off and someone shoots me.

In Oz if you get hit and its not your fault, you can let fly if you are capable, and let me tell you, I have. But no one has a gun, so the worst you can get is a black eye really, and if you are not close enough its okay.

I usually drive around talking to the dick heads on the road, swearing to myself, giving a running commentary (to myself) on the dicks who don't know how to drive, but I must say I have had to curb that here. Don't get me wrong there are still plenty of dickheads, but I just keep all the commentary inside my head, and I don't flip the bird either, well not above the dashboard, lol. I don't want to die early!!!

People who like to drive like idiots get the horn and a bird right at them. I find if you act crazy people will leave you alone

I think I see the problem.
