Nah these are typically kits for cars that are unobtanium unless you have millions of dollars to spend. There are probably very few real examples of these big 1920s vehicles left in existence and replacement parts would probably need to be custom made for them. There's certainly a wide gap between a Chevette and a $2 million dollar concours car, yet nothing in between in this market.

I used to have a roommate who could shit in my pants from across the room. It was quite the trick.

The deadline to have him back was today. Anyone know the current situation?

God why is it always the shittiest 80s cars that people use to build these kits? It's always either a VW Bug, Fiero, or a Chevette in this case.

Also, excellent work finding the exact car OP asked about.

100%

I work with some die hard MAGA (one had a custom "NFOWARS" plate until he crashed his car driving drunk) and this describes them to a T. Weak people that see weak people act like "strong men" on TV and latch their whole identity onto them.

While you may be able to turn up the transmit power on the router, remember that devices have to be able to transmit back that same distance so you may have mixed results.

I got a STEM degree that didn't require any financial classes. I learned all that on my own once I started making adult money at nearly 30. I see (quite a lot of) others in my same boat who didn't bother and are making six figures while living paycheck to paycheck still. The last round of layoffs were quite a shock to these people.

I'll give big credit to my parents who also never saved a dollar and gave me the fire inside to never allow myself to wind up in the same position after seeing the disastrous results of said decisions.

Edit: funny that a CJ degree is mentioned as my aunt and her (trash of a human being) prison guard husband took out a $500k loan to remodel their $250k house. They got divorced last year and still can't sell that house. He lives in Florida now and she moved into a trailer park.

Yes, if any one of them invaded, the others would come to their defense provided they give up their nukes which they did. It turns out that was a huge mistake because nobody has any integrity.

I just saw the Costco flyer for this week and they had a 75" LG TV on sale for like $599. I couldn't believe how cheap TVs are now.

It think it's like suing someone. You can sue whomever you want for any reason but that doesn't mean it's going to be successful. If this guy is retired yet keeps all his retirement money in volatile stocks, he's not going to be successful in retirement.

Seriously I was scanning the comments to find anyone mentioning this. It's insane to leave your funds in stocks if you're retired or close to retirement. That should have been shifted to bonds or other stable investments years ago.

But Cali and New York do not reap the tax revenue of a country with the GDP of their size; they can only reap part of it, both because Federal taxes remove a portion of that taxable income

I'd love to see people like Newsome, Kotek, Ferguson, and Hochul grow some balls and start co-opting Trumps rhetoric on these trade deficits but with federal taxes instead. Currently most blue states pay more to the federal government than they receive and those dollars that they do receive are just returning the very tax revenue they sent out but with Trump's ridiculous conditions tacked on. He currently has his base of useful idiots talking about how uninhibited islands like the Mcdonald Islands are "ripping us off" so they should strike while the iron is hot and threaten to seize federal tax revenue generated from the workers and industries in their respective states just the same. If Trump is going to gut every federal office and program that actually impacts people's lives, what are we even sending them money for?
