    10 Speed Transmission

    I just saw an article that said Ford and GM have collaborated on a 10 speed transmission that will be shared by the 2017 Raptor and the 2017 Camaro ZL-1. It must be a pretty tough automatic to the handle 640 hp and 640 ft/lbs of torque that the Chevy puts out. Car and Driver road tested the new...

    National Corvette Museum loses Vettes to sinkhole!

    Ooh! Do a search on the web, the national Corvette Museum in Bowling Green had a sinkhole open under the floor of the Museum! Eight very rare and valuable Vettes got swallowed! And it doesn't look good for removing the other ones on the floor due to the instability of the structure. Yikes!! I...

    Imported ammo!?

    I guess by now you've all heard what has been done to the lead smelting plants here in the U.S. of A. The EPA has ordered them shut down due to new pollution standards. These are the plants that melt the lead for our bullets. After December of 2013 all lead ammo will have to be imported into the...

    Who uses Craigslist?

    I was just wondering how many of you have used Craigslist. I didn't realize how much stuff I've actually bought until my wife and I were talking about it yesterday. There have been a few good deals that I've found. I bought my '97 F350 six years ago on Craigslist. It's still worth more today...

    Drought

    It's been dry and dusty up here at the top of Florida for nearly a month. We finally got an inch of rain yesterday. The grass was curling up. Rain chances look better in the coming week though. Maybe it's over.

    Fun in Vegas.

    Just ran across this site, World Class Driving. Looks like a fun time if you happen to go to Las Vegas. You get to choose 3 or 4 muscle cars and take them for a 50 mile drive. I can't get it to link....copy and paste, worldclassdriving.com

    2015 Mustang

    I ran across an article on Yahoo news today stating the Mustang was doing away with the retro look for the 2015 model. Wow! Did they ever! Hideous! Now THAT looks like a Ricer/Transformer/whatever for sure. Not sure this one will grow on us. The rear end is really ugly...

    Gun Control at a cost

    Our cost! I looked at the Cheaper Than Dirt online catalog yesterday. The cheap 30 round plastic magazines for my Colt AR15 are $39.95 and the original metal 30 round Colt mags are $129.95! Don't know what ammo is. Just the other day it was $22.00 for 20 rounds....IF they had it in stock! Glad I...

    Connecticut Murders

    Rich, not sure if this goes here, feel free to move it if need be.... What are your thoughts on stopping these senseless murders? Gun control laws won't work because there are miliions of guns already out there and the bad guys aren't gonna give theirs up. And I'm sure not given' up mine. I...

    Anyone disagree?

    "The Gun Is Civilization" by Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human...

    Is Open Carry in our Future?

    Florida Senator Greg Evers is sponsoring legislation to reform many of Florida’s highly restrictive handgun carry and purchasing laws. If passed in its current form, SB-234 will legalize many activities already lawful in other states. Since 1987 the State of Florida has issued nearly 2 million...

    Tolerance, my brothers....

    I am shocked that so many Americans are against the mosque, near Ground Zero . We should allow it, but in order to promote tolerance....... I propose that a gay nightclub be opened next door to the mosque to promote tolerance in the mosque. We could call it "The Turban Cowboy" or...

    The Replacement

    Well, as some of you know, I got rid of my Corvette earlier this year. I loved the car, but with two boys at home and soccer games on weekends and what all, I just never got to drive it much. It was becoming a yard ornament. Now, I've replaced it. I just got a 2004 Cadillac CTS V. WOW!!! 4 door...
