That loon needed a diesel just to overcome all the drag from all those flags.

If you would have gone to see it, do you think you would recommend the new Top Gun?

My Buddy wanted us to go with them yesterday, but my Wife had to take a nitro again. So we postponed it.

I'm just sitting here waiting for my spot putty to dry...

I went and got gas just before it's supposed to go up. The Walmart Plus gives you 10 cents off, by the way. I also got a 35 dollar cash back into my account last week.

Absolutely.
And I'd whole-heartedly recommend the IMAX experience if you have the opportunity. (If I'd seen it, that is.)

We were going to go to the theater about a mile from us. Not IMAX, but a decent theater for being out of SLC.

For the record, I am NOT a fan of Duplicolor primer. It stays shiny on the bare metal. It really makes it hard to see what else I need to work on. It sucks right in to the Bondo too. Different than any other primer I've ever used. BUT, it's all I had and I am too lazy to drive to the store.





EDIT: Hey, someone posted this LS swap on FB.

That looks great 👍.

BTW, The "90 Vert GT" that my Wife's new employer has is actually 95 V6 Vert. Hard pass.

I got this message today... lol. I just laughed. I bet that is the 15th time he's asked me to sell Frankie to him.

The FR500 wheel is thicker and just a wee bit smaller diameter than the stock one, and quite cushy and grippy! The original may as well be made from hard plastic by comparison. I can't wait to get it put in, but i'll have to. I'm leaving Saturday for a week back east with the folks, and there's lots to get done before I go.

Yeah, unless you (really) wanted to V8 swap that 'vert, I wouldn't do it either,especially because it's likely an auto to boot.

No, I was going to mention from my own experience if you leave your car parked outdoors and it's not moved frequently....
the entire car is soon to go in crapper...

Engine rusts inside, brakes deteriorate, tires, paint, Fuel evaporates easier....
