    Stock Market

    I'm out with 2.5% since May 23rd. That wasn't pretty, NVDA and LLY were the clear heavyweights in the bunch. I was way backwards on SMCI until today when it came roaring back. ENT did well anytime oil went up (which wasn't often but you could play with it) BSX, APPL, MSFT popped too to help...

    What is the ONE thing your A body has you wish your modern car had?

    Have you ever hit (more like bumped) anything with it? I rented one at an airport for forestry work. It had dings on the bumper that I circled on their damage form. Attempting a 3pt turn I lost traction and dug in a enough to lower the back over a stump. Yep, bent that thing out and down. I...

    I'd forgotten how ugly the Superbird really was ...

    Agreed but I kinda have a soft spot for @Cuda Hunter ’s Mad Max/Cudabird ….

    Which Shocks for SS Springs?

    I’ve had SS springs for awhile and the car bottoms out on very specific shape dips at speed. Always used A body spec shocks (& my shackles look like yours did, but with weight on ‘em)! The ability to transfer weight better may help my crummy 60’ times too. Thanks for your reply

    Which Shocks for SS Springs?

    OP: did the shocks also set the shackles in the aforementioned correct angle? Change the stance much? What’s your opinion of them 3 years on? Thanks

    Another boat question

    ‘It’s the season once again! Last weekend was the last of it (fingers X’d). Finally got a spell of clear weather so I finished painting my hull today. Motors are still off from the welding repairs and she was looking a little rough.

    U-Haul car trailer experience?

    I actually drove my Barracuda to the UHaul place to pick up the van and trailer. They helped me load the car on. So we could vet the straps and tricks to get the car on. Drove that combo from Jacksonville Fl to Lufkin Tx. No problem. My family has used them for at least a dozen moves since the...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    I found pulling the hinges back with a ratchet strap anchored to the rear wheel was an another avenue for solo micro adjustments of the pillar side bolts. Go slow! Little movements at a time. MoparLeo is a great resource. I found very little helpful YT vids. Good luck I took mine to town to...

    Kudos to Canadian Tire

    Anytime we were within an hour of the Sault we’d sneak over to do our shopping. Always included a Canadian Tire visit. Can’t believe that was 20 years ago… I used my handmade paddle from there just this morning! Big Fans

    Getting fed up of high-perf , being happy with less

    I will say that I appreciate the folks that try all the fancy stuff that circle back to make recommendations or painful rants! Once in awhile something comes along that helps keep my driver class car driving w/ less effort, time, expense, or frequency of failure.

    Stock Market

    I’m back in heavy to tech before the bell. Let’s see if there’s any more upside with the bulls today. Also picked up some LYV,LLY, BLK, c, APLS, BSX, ENT, CAT, LMT & RTX. I couldn’t find 5N plus for sale on my platform…. It be there too!

    Stock Market

    I doubled down after it lost ~15% thinking I’d break even if it went up 8. Better yet it went back over my purchase spot by half a percent! I left AMD well on the plus side. This is fer fun remember. 22 shares all told. Folks give more away at casinos and lotto me thinks. Now what to play...

    Stock Market

    NVDA Q1 results are due out on 5/22. I understand January ‘25 calls over $1000 were hot sells last month. their peers and vendors all reported strong results BUT shares were punished for forecasting some headwinds (China trade policy) META was punished for spending too much on AI. There may be...
