I couldn’t afford the steering wheel out of that car!!
It's not brand new. It's a 15 with the C-7 package and carbon fiber package. The dude who had it, installed the clear bra over the complete front and on the side skirts. Saved me about 3-4 grand lol. I did black out the side markers, taillights, and dyed the gray leather stitching inside to red.

Coolest thing about that place was I could walk out my back door and shoot guns, kill deer, etc.
now I’m in town right behind Arby’s and can literally hear the person on the speaker asking what they want to drink!! LOL

Well this thread was supposed to be about cars, guns and BBQ. Since I have gotten rid of the cars and most of the guns, here is the griddle I was talking about that I like so much. Never use my grill anymore. This thing is awesome if you like to grill

True story!!! I can hear it!! LOL
Once the summer gets here, between the people in the pool, music blaring, and burgers sizzling on the grill, we’ll drown them out! And if not, I’ll order me a drink and ask them to drive it over!!
LMFAO. What part of Ky you in?

It's hard to go wrong with red on a vette. Only problem is state patrol likes to pick red out of a crowd. That 02 BMW you showed will last forever. BMW had some issues with the v8 after 2008 but that straight 6 is a good engine.
Yes sir, I love my red cars and use to be all I mainly had. I decided to add variety. I'm good here in Atlanta and a lot of other counties since I use to be a Trooper here and know a lot of them. Yeah, the little bimmer runs like a champ. I need to put a clutch in it after I finish Automotive tech school in May. Have done a lot of work to it on my own since we have 2 in school we worked and got tested on. I had a 745li and that was the worst can I ever owned.

Hah! Yeah, the car just became a pain in the ***:)

And my best friend and you have similar tastes! He has a new Stingray that he has worked to the gills, red, and had a neon blue Z that he had souped up to the point that it became too much of a pain in the ***. Also has an AMG for commuting. Son of a ... ;)

My brother in law is a cop in Louisville. He said he pulled a guy over one day in a vette. I don’t know which one but he said it was supposed to be their baddest production model. He told the guy he just pulled him over to see his car and when he takes off, to get on it and show him what she will do! He said I’m right behind you, ain’t nobody gonna bother you! He told me yeah, I was right behind him for about 3 seconds, and that dude was gone!

He has a 1960 vette that he got when his father passed away. He never drives it. I would in that thing everyday weekend!!

Lmao, I believe it too. He probably had the ZR1 which 2019 has about 100 more horses than the Z06. I took it to school one day and a Cobb County cop got behind me and pulled into qtrip when I did. When I got out he asked me will it run lol. I told him like a scolded dog lmbo.

I think his ‘60 has a small engine and more for looks than speed

I’m not really a car guy. I drive a Volkswagen. Does great in the mountains.

However, I am from the state with the best BBQ, Kansas. That was a statement of fact and should be the end of the discussion.

I also own several firearms. I have several thousand rounds of ammunition as well.

When this thing mutates into the zombie apocalypse I’ll be driving through the Oregon mountains, eating the best BBQ with my left hand, and shooting zombies with my right hand. Before you ask, I’ll be steering with my knees...like all self-respectable men do.

I love cars but my wife and I enjoy the lake so much, I have gotten rid of about everything and bought an old houseboat and bass boat. We spend literally every weekend March - October on the boat. Really thinking about selling the house when I retire and buy a bigger, nicer boat and living on it full time






I feel you on that buddy. We were looking at selling everything ourselves and buy a big 45 footer Deisel pusher Entegra Anthem RV and just travel all over the United States. Decided to keep everything and just wait about 3 years, god willing, and just buy one anyway and travel a few months out of the year to start out.

If you shoot enough ammo into a tornado, will it break it up?

Seems like the early sixties had 283 or the 327 engine. These engines were fairly popular at local drag strips. We have a family member that wins all the time in the gear jammer division and has always ran a 327. It turns some rpms.

My old Heritage. I’m really to big for a normal Harley, LOL


I have a cousin in S.C. That is a tattoo artist and owns a couple of shops. He had 18 running Harley Davidson’s and chooses to ride this!! Not for me! I want electric start, lots of chrome and not a scratch. But this is him!!
