    Just to be sure that everyone understands what I am talking about using. It is the Lucas Slick Mist Tire and Trim Shine. Under the hood just spray it on and let drip dry and it looks like new. Do not forget to cover the engine with a tarp. I have never tried getting it all over the engine and the surrounding area. On the tub just spray on and let drip dry even if it is dirty/dusty.

    You should have heard me say this before. If your Sling has the black under the hood, open the hood and cover the motor and everything with a tarp and spray the bottom side of the hood with the Lucas detailer and just let sit. Mine still looks brand new (2015) and I do this about once a year. As to the black tub, I just spray and let sit and I do not even wipe it down. This is a lot easier than trying to wash under the hood and looks just as good.

    Way da go Frankie55 ! Well said! It will be a great day when/if economics are taught in our schools again. Sadly they are not. I consider my self a “Smithian” considering Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” to be brilliant!

    I am 29 years now in business and very grateful for the support of my family. My great grandparents came here on ships with nothing but the clothes on their backs and a dream and a work ethic. They worked their asses off in mills and built their own houses. Raised families to work hard, be God fearing and generous. They paved the way for me as I have tried for my family. My daughter now has her own business a little over a year now. She is still struggling but her tenacity is great and I/we are convinced this American imagrant family will see her American dream come true.


    My dad would get his hackles up big time if someone said “well you got it easy”! As he started his first business at 55. My dad’s father used to cut tires and re-sole his shoes and do for the neighbors if any was left over in a Pittsburgh steel town. He had one shirt and pair of pants and shoes. He put himself through college and got his PHD AND MASTERS degree at the same time while working nights. I don’t say this to be “showy” or brag. Just that thank God if you really want something- are willing to put the time in, then this great experiment called America is still a place where it is possible.


    HOA's are wonderful. I've been the president in four different neighborhoods. If people want to live in unkempt houses they can stay out of my neighborhood. I don't want cars parked up and down the street. I don't want crazy house colors, driving my homes value down. If you want to be unique, special and roll the dice on the value of your house, go live in a unruly neighborhood and leave us more conservative people to bask in our orderly neighborhood with steadily increasing home values. If you don't like HOA's you like chaos, clutter and disorder. If you notice that you are the one always complaining about your HOA, know that you are the problem.


    Furthermore, it is nothing like "Democratic socialism". You knew you would be in one when you looked at the house. You paid to be in that neighborhood because you like the comfort and tidyness of an HOA community. You also, when buying the house agreed to the HOA monthly payments and by laws. If "Democratic socialism" is the same as socialism, you won't have a choice. You will unwillingly pay into it. You will not agree with any of it. Socialism creates chaos not the beautifully manicured lawns and we'll kept houses and security found in an HOA.


    One last "pin" fuck an HOA, I have never been, nor ever will be paying somebody to tell me what to do around my house.;):*

    I would never and I do mean NEVER buy a piece of property that I planned on living on that had a HOA.. I might buy for investment only though.

    I agree with you on this. Any changes are designed to update and upgrade the look, but are obviously a move away from what made a vehicle popular in the 1st place. The changes are usually subtle in order to maintain the character of the vehicle. Some times they nail it and sometimes the manufacturers just blow it. And then there are times where they do a total redesign and keep the name to try to attract buyers (Mustang II - give me a break!). If the brand lasts long enough, like Corvette's 66 years, the originals always gain value and appeal. Give me $70k and it would be a tough call between a '67, 427, 4-speed, removable hardtop 'vette (my high-school dream car) and a 2019, but there are 2 decades - 80's and 90's - that I wouldn't touch. Hint: the 1st $70k would probably buy the C7 for the drivability over collector value. Sex appeal is strong for me in both!

    I had the 67 coupe for 26 years, then sold it. Also had the 1960, both of them red

    Do you think you could get it passed? That would be a lot of politicians out of what they call a job. When are you going to run for President?

    My question is what kind of rain gear are people using? I have froggs but I still get wet and they tear pretty easily. What is a good quality thats also breathable that everybody uses?

    I have the Fulmer rain suit that I bought in Maggie Valley 2 years ago
