    Yeah, way back when, I used to drive from Rancho Cordova (Sacramento, CA) to Riverside CA. 472 miles 1 way. My record was 4hrs 30mins flat. (=105mph avg). I can't imagine doing that for 24+ hrs.


    Just so happened that was the weekend before Christmas heading down the I-5 in California. For those that know the area, it's flat and straight and if you're doing anything under 80, you're getting rolled over by semi's. Anyways, got into a line of about a dozen cars and we just rolled like a train almost bumper to bumper. 1st guy would lead for about 10 miles then peal off and fall in the back, then 2nd guy would lead and do the same. Did that for well over 100 miles (at pushing 110-120mph). I decided if a cop were going to try to pull us over, I would be the 2nd-to-last guy to pull over. That was fun. Dangerous. Stupid. And Fun.


    Oh, and same route, different trip, got a speeding ticket for coming down the Grapevine at 85mph. Didn't have the heart (guts?) to tell the cop I was in neutral!

    Back in the 70's my father and I always had a CB radio in the car and on long open drives on the highway we would talk with the truckers who would drive in a formation like you are talking about. They would love it when some guy in a car took the lead going really fast and they would all speed up and fall in behind that person - - the term they used on the CB when referring to that lead car was the Human Sacrifice - - - - - - - - - - "We got us a human sacrifice"

    Unlike many that defend their side regardless of numerous indictments and prison sentences. I welcome all justice. If there were people breaking the law while performing an investigation, lock them up. Anything that taints results isn't good for America, period, regardless who did it.

    I agree, anybody found guilty should be done - locked up or removed from office


    BUT - we also cant forget one of the biggest things that makes the U.S. justice system the best in the world is the concept that EVERYONE is innocent until PROVEN guilty


    Unfortunately many people like you decided that Trump was guilty before he was even elected and have wanted him out of office without even waiting for the proof that our system requires


    Whats really frightening is that future presidents will without a doubt be subject to the same standards that you and many others think are enough to remove Trump - and if that happens there is a very good chance that impeachment will become standard operating procedure for which ever party loses an election


    "F- the election results"

    So, which do you think has caused more harm to Biden's election chances - Trump asking that a corrupt oil company be investigated, or Schiff making it the central issue of his call for impeachment?


    Frankly if Schiff hadn't made it this huge thing I would have never even known about the Biden's connections to this oil company or for that matter his China connections - - - would you?

    Sometimes it's fun to have a vanity plate.... Sling 1 Indiana I have the first Slingshot registered in the State of Indiana. (that's a little lie-----I did have the first, but now I'm in my second Slingshot but still carry the Sling 1 plate.) And yes it costs me about $50.00 a year …..

    Yea - I did think about it - "RED SL" is even available, but I just cant bring myself to sign up for the never ending payments just to have something that the people behind me might read - - if its that important I can just get a license plate frame that says the same thing

    So, If the U.S. officially declares the Mexican drug cartels to be terrorist organizations does that mean the U.S. will start flying drones over Mexico looking to take out the leaders of the cartels?


    I am very much agains these cartels, but I am not sure officially declaring war on people with so much access to our borders is a good idea - - could really open up a can of worms turning their focus against us instead of each other


    :/

    The rubber gasket in my cap fell apart over a year ago - it has worked just fine without it.


    With my California slingshot having a vent system on the gas tank with a carbon filter canister I am probably breaking some law by not having the tank sealed, but WTF

    Maybe something changed with the lower shock mounts in 2019. Of course SoCal had to use washers, too. Not sure what year his is. The top mounts fit perfectly, no spacers needed. At any rate, I made 6 spacers and got the shocks installed. Set them at the stock ride height and adjusted the comp and rebound for softer "around town" ride. WAY better than the stock shocks. Heck, most of the rattles and clunks I used to hear when I went over bumps have even stopped!

    If you want to get rid of more of the rattles and clunks I highly recommend that you replace the stock sway bar mounts with the DDM sway bar mounts - the stock ones are hard plastic and they transmit every little noise right to the frame. The DDM urethane mounts are much better - - - oh and if you do this might as well change the sway bar to a DDM as well and finish off the suspension mods properly
