The title is not anti-religious. It's the comments within the thread that breach item 8. I never said delete the thread. I advocate closing it, because everyone involved has already given their opinion and are now just sniping back and forth and repeating their selves.

I could not agree more. Our COC clearly states: Item 1, line 2: Please respect other members and avoid making posts that may be seen as personally offensive. We don’t allow flame wars here. Item 2: We do not allow IO to be used either as a soapbox to aggressively promote any faith or political...

More like this car I built in the No Limit Drag Racing game I've been playing. Ported and polished Chevy big block, twin turbo charger with nitrous! 199 wins and only 3 losses so far! :cool:

It varies state to state, but in mine anything under 50cc's or the EV equivalent does not require registration, insurance or inspection, just a driver's license to operate. Some states require yearly safety inspections at the owner's expense, but mine only requires it of used vehicles when the...

Not so far in my state, but some states here are starting to tack on a registration surcharge to make up for lost gasoline tax revenue. At present, EV's can cost an additional 20% or more here to insure with higher deductibles. Some insurers are even increasing homeowner policy rates when an EV...

I'm an old hot rodder. My interest in EV's has more to do with potential power output than anything else. Instant torque and all that. Thing of it is, with the amount of driving I do, an EV wouldn't save me all that much and would actually cost me a lot more to insure and register. So with...

Nice. I was seriously considering a secondhand Leaf, but went off the idea when prices more than doubled this past year. Guess my old petrol burner will have to suffice for a while longer.

Oh, I did the last cut back in August. The grass is on it's own now! 🤨 Yep, had climate change in 1938 as well, when the high here was 77F on the same date... 😉 I remember one February about 15 years ago. I got all bundled up to rake leaves and immediately started sweating bullets! Unbeknownst...

Simply put, I consider God to be the founder of all things, the object of my faith, reverence and down right awe. I subscribe to the trinity and believe Jesus was exactly who he said he was, here to perform a specific task just as prophesied in the old testament.

Ha, 81F - 27.2C today! Our trees are loosing their leaves and budding all at the same time. Bloody grass, normally dormant this time of year, has started growing again! 🌳

Naysayers are but a dime a dozen and about 9¢ overpriced...😁

Getting back on topic, I just finished clearing our driveway of leaves. Sweating bullets here. It's currently 77F - 25C on this fine Fall afternoon. Still waiting for that freeze! 🌞

I think you're right. I love the way Aussie's daughter in law expresses herself. Her incite never ceases to amaze me.

Nah, that's an ad photo from a site, that sells lift kits for the Suzuki Vitar, Sidekick and other small 4X4's. Almost bought a Vitara once. The wife wanted it for snow season, but once she realized the traction lock feature of her Mazda2 would keep her from getting stuck in most cases, she went...

No worries, we can get them mudders under there! 😁

I was chatting with Aussie's daughter in law the other night, she's a rather sweet young lady of Aboriginal decent and she said something both amusing and profound. At least in my way of thinking. Anyway, I decided to ask her about what her late father in law had said, regarding Aboriginal...

Oh, that's what we call all terrain tires here. Not all that noisy really and you can actually balance them! I was thinking she had it fitted with off-road treads or something.

My most memorable travel moment happened several years ago on a return trip from Fiji. The wife and I had just arrived at Los Angeles International. We went through immigration and customs without a hitch, but when we attempted to check-in at the domestic terminal, things quickly went awry. So...

Don't know about me, but my snow blower gets plenty exercise and is quite healthy! :D

Old Benny Hill bit about being poor - Benny smoking a big cigar: Oh, we were poor, damn poor.... Our maid was poor, the butler was poor and our chauffeur, by golly he was poorest of all! 😂
