THE CZickness LI.....Shooting for a Summer to Remember

[mcapo]

Busy, busy, busy here. Wife back to teaching, daughter getting ready to leave for college.
Dear old dad checked on doing the 100k service at a Toyota dealer and an independent mechanic…..
$1500 to $2000!?!?!?

I’ve worked on a lot of cars, but these newer ones just plain suck!!! You shouldn’t have to remove half the engine bay to change 4 spark plugs on a 1.8L 4 banger!!! I did it:
1- PCV valve stuck where the sun don’t shine
2 - Spark plugs, which allowed a lot of light to the
Top of the engine….did help with the PCV
3- Automatic Transmission Fluid
4- 4 banger coolant
5- “Flux capacitor” Hybrid Battery Coolant
System
6- Glorified motorcycle battery at $250….

Yea....my Jeep is 20k past due for its 100k. Want me to drop it off?

Speaking of cars....had dinner with some old 'vette buddies tonight - all driving C8's.

2023 C8 Z06 - oh snap....Seems like a fair trade for my HOUSE!

You probably have enough S&Ws to make it an even trade.

He should’ve ran that the Air Strip Attack race in Marion today! There were a couple C8s there.

Earlier my son asked if I know anyone that owns a Lamborghini. I said “Yeah, I know this guy named Mcapo”. I figure he has at least one of everything and has a Lambo “parked at a buddy’s house”.

Fondled a P229 Legion SAO 9mm yesterday, now my brain is spinning in la-la land.

We passed a delivery truck with 8-10 new Vette's on it yesterday. So what a million on that trailer?

Morning folks! ️

Got some minor housework done, now need to go to the grocery store, then get ready for church. Afterwards I'll need to get some cardboard dropped off to be recycled and then decide if I want to mow, or wait until Tuesday when it's supposed to be cooler.

One of the guys has a Eray on order. It went from a 2024 delivery to undetermined. Anyway….he intends to take it straight to the strip. He also has a Demon that he ran in the Factory class Mopar sponsored (or however that worked) when they were new.

I was disappointed he’s not buying a Demon 170.

SAO.....

Either you hate SAO or you're mad I didn't buy it, either way I need aspirin now.

My oldest son and I had a great time at the race today. We saw quite a few Lamborghinis, McLarens, Porches and Vipers, along with all the new American muscle on the market. Pretty much everything was highly modified for running top speed on a 1/2 mile drag strip.

The race day was cut short after a really bad crash. A 3,000 hp Viper lost traction and tumbled sideways and end over end at 200+ mph at the finish line. It’s likely he was going much faster but I don’t have a number. Fortunately he’s alive. Last I heard he was alert, responsive and in “good spirits” when Life Flight landed on the track. Prayers for him and his family are appreciated I’m sure.

Here’s a few pics of some of the cars

I've been tempted to go on one of the Faster Rallys, but I can't afford it. So I go on cheaper ones, like IndyHood Rats.

I really love the look of the C8s. They are so nice. I know a lot of people that think that just because I like Mustangs, I shouldn't like Chevrolets. Most of what I have owned are Chevrolets. I don't know that I will own another, but I would definitely own a Corvette.

Then again, I am not a fan of most of Fords lineup right now either.

I stopped by Badger Creek yesterday, I really need to stop stopping by that place. They of course put a Standard Manufacturing 1911 in my hand. If I had that money in my gun fund, it might have gone home with me.

I also saw the Standard Manufacturing Jackhammer. Standard does some really weird guns. I kind of like the Jackhammer, it is goofy and weird.

Good morning fellas :bgoOJ:

Been enjoying a beautiful morning out on the deck. It's going to be a nice day out today.
