  1. Looks pretty rad. I don't like the liberty walk stuff I have seen on some cars but on a replica= all day long. This is what the replicas should be about. Not trying to copy OE cars, rather, taking the style and putting their own tastes to them. I love it. This car is drivable without the associated concers of carrying a million dollars around with you. Cars like this make real Miura even more special and don't take anything from them.
  2. IMHO the substance has been proven to be less harmful than alcohol and has legitimate medical use. It's not an IF, but a when will it be declassified. A lot of people will get very rich off of this eventually. I'm not sure when ethics became an issue as there are far greater evils out there happening right now that I seem to be the only one here who has a problem with 😂
  3. I bought a small amount of a couple different companies about a year ago.. was going bananas for a minute, now I'm about 50% under.. I've just decided to let it ride... It'll go big some day... not if.. when..
  4. Good one. I agree with much of this, right up to "we need". I just think we are sacrificing a lot of class with the way things are being carried out. We could use a good re-org, but not at the expense of looking like dirtbags. **edit, this touches close to home because I also have friends who are very pro Trump and you'd think we were mortal enemies with the way we talk to eachother on Facebook.. this is fine when you're talking to someone who you've known for twenty years.. the issue is the shrapnel/other audience that you don't know, that gets dragged in or jumps in.. it all points back to my original point: were just not mature enough for this level of communication/connection. Please also understand that my responses, 9/10 times are said with a joking/razzing intent. Only until we start throwing insults... which I never initiate.
  5. Responses like this are why I laugh at pretty much all of you (not members of this board, rather retardlicans). Like talking to a rock, only the rock doesn't insult you. Half of your arguments (the positives for What is the absolute worst president in history) build off of the GROWTH OBAMA oversaw, and the other points are your short sighted opinion at best. Still with the racial divid thing, not willing to just THINK about what I said. I'll explain, and use small words for you. Racism was always there to begin with. It wasn't apparent because you didn't hear from every ignorant f*** in the country (kinda like I'm hearing from you right now) until the internet and social media really took off. I'd say some time in 2005. Growing, ooozing... those who were closet racists now read other closet racist's thoughts daily, and it festers. The internet gives every imbecile a voice and an ear... the rest is just gravity. You want to blame OBAMA for this, I say it shows your racism. Thanks a lot Obama. The only valid thing you said was about spending. Unfortunately, until you recognize that the guy you likely voted for before Obama took us from a solid surplus, and stick us in a pretty deep hole= your blaming OBAMA just makes you sound ignorant. Speaking of spending, you know what else is at an all time high? 1%'ers wealth. There is most certainly correlation. Jobs and with the exception of September.... and next month it will be "with the exception of September and October... and so on.. Stockmarket at all time high. Funny you went there, it was on a pretty nice pace under OBAMA.. what you have now is all dumb luck and will result in the worst recession ever, very shortly I'm betting.Youll be hurt much worse than I will. I'll buy you a beer when it happens. Snowflake. Lol. If I'm a snowflake, than you're a white supremacist who claimes your views are because of Obama.. You absolutely are a pockmark on this board. And seee! You have successfully proven a few more points I made.
  6. cheers man! Just think about it. We can't talk to eachother about common interests such as cars, without somehow getting into arguments over who has a bigger dick. Add in politics, money, religion.. it's amazing there is anything of value anywhere on the net. Imagine what will happen the day the alien ship arrives... So, I said I wouldn't bother coming back, mainly because every time I poke my nose in here (lol) it doesn't go anywhere good and I lose two days of my life arguing nonsense that is all pretty subjective or point of view based.. even the stuff cited as irrefutable by.. was it emananon? Is all kind of subjective, as I showed.. Everyone of you has made a post that I have agreed with at some point.. likewise, I have disagreed with at some point. We could all work on the way we communicate with people who have opposing views. Cheers guys-
  7. Bananas. Watching people post pro Trump anything is similar to watching my cats chasing a laser pointer. Doesn't matter that they can't touch it when you stop moving it.. they'll continue to chase it as if it was real. Not heading down this road again, I'll see my way out. *** edit Trump is a good leader? Just stop. Trump inherited a fiscal disaster? You're joking, right? OBAMA inherited a fiscal disaster. OBAMA ruined healthcare? No, healthcare ruined healthcare. OBAMA put in place drastic measures so that it would self correct. AT least people were covered. Let's take that all away, right? Just stop. Racial divide= actually, I believe the racial divide is caused by our love for social media. We are not ready as a species for this level of communication. Flame away, you're wrong. ✌️️
  8. Bananas. This is just bananas. I just don't know what show you're watching.
  9. Hits close to home. I don't hate my job at all. Actually, I love my job. I love what I do. BUT- it will never get me to where I want to be. Like you= I know that this is not what I was meant to do in the grand scheme of things. I am not running for the door, but I am planting seeds. Also just like you- I want to do something with Lamborghini. My own project has really given me a lot of confidence, but truthfully- I had plenty to begin with, considering what I took on. With that in mind, I would like to do exactly what was mentioned, reimagining Lamborghini. Taking a basket case car and making something of it= my way. I don't care what the purists say, it's a basket case to begin with. With flood cars likely about to pop up everywhere and a constant source of damaged cars out there.. I'll be having fun for a long time. That aside- I have also began sketching my own design. Seeing the inside of my 6.0 at the intimate level I have has made me very confident that I could design my own car. Manufacturing it- well, lets see how the design goes :-) I wish you all of the luck in the world. KB
  10. In hindsight, I wish I would have looked more. I was messing with the phone, dealing with a bratty eleven year old.. man. I wish I could re-do. April 8th 2024... coming to my town. I'll host! Bring your cars..
  11. This was incredible. It was incredible in the moments before, when it was bright, but dim.. then the totality.. ohmygod.. the corona was so intense. If this didn't impress you... what the hell does??
  12. I've been waiting for this day since I was very young. Taking the fam to Hilton Head Friday and will be somewhere in that line for Monday. It BETTER be nice out..
  13. I'll just.. set this here... could be fake news... shrug. http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/26/report-s...-the-very-rich/
  14. I'll tell you what guys, I'm sorry I bugged you. It's probably best if I just went back to keeping to myself. This is supposed to be my leisure time and when it becomes a good old fashion gang bang, insulting stuff that people are quite proud of, even when it is just one or two jerks, it takes a bit of the fun away. Cheers-
  15. Think so? How do you suppose I should claim it? How about "I'm reimagining" a Diablo? Does that separate me enough from Allan? Edit, that sounded snippy. I'm sorry, not really aimed at you.
  16. Apparently I like fake Rolexes too? Actually, in 2003 we picked up a BNIB 16610 K series Submariner. If I recall it was $3600 out the door after a small discount which saved us tax. I also have no problem standing at a urinal because I'm not ashamed at the size of my penis. Man, I thought Ed O'Neil straightened you out, Doyal...
  17. I suspect this didn't go quite as Allan had hoped. Darn. Yes guys, as Allan attempted to skew to make me look bad, I am restoring a Diablo. Not all of the parts will be OEM for a number of reasons mentioned. There are actually a few of us out there who enjoy working on things and have taken on this very challenging project. I have kept it sort of out of site here because I didn't really want the criticism early on as that can be very discouraging. So what's my story? Well- a couple of years ago I decided that many of my previous hobbies had lost their charm for me and it was time to do something that's not a complete waste of money and time. Key word, complete. It's still a waste of time and money, like any hobby. Some points made which I will absolutely echo... NO= this will not be a $400k 6.0 example. NO= this will not be oe correct. With that being said, the car will have a lot of parts fabricated by me, it will have minimally, a Murcielago drivetrain and aftermarket EMU.. something I can program myself. Which? Don't know. I am many miles away from needing to even shop. Why murcielago drivetrain? Because they're readily available at what I feel are reasonable prices. I am holding out as long as I can for A 6.0 setup, but I'm no longer married to the idea. V12 Lamborghini is a certainty. It will sit as a roller as long as it needs to iuntil I can put it together. The car will have mostly OE suspension bits, with the exception of the shocks and possibly the lower front arms. I had already modeled the whole arm and had ball stud sockets machined because I intended on fabbing them. Still up in the air because arms aren't that expensive if you look hard enough. Already have a 9.9/10 set of 6.0 wheels, need tires but not any time soon. Ideally, a set of out of date tires in decent shape for rolling around purposes would be found, obviously to be replaced when the car is running. Already have some OE body panels here, as well as some aftermarket parts that were copied from OE. Some are quite nice and bolt up ready, others need a lot of work. Most of them will be re-mastered and then rerun as vacuum formed carbon fiber. I see nothing taboo about this after seeing the Countach restorations that were mentioned. I have fabricated a new steel roof skin and replaced 98% of the damage to the frame. This is where it currently sits. In the coming weeks, the chassis will be blasted and primed at which point I will be focusing on creating my own vacuum formed, carbon fiber floor panels to replace the steel floor that remained in the car but was beyond repair. What is the budget? There isn't one. I have no clock to punch. It will cost as much as it needs to and be completed when it's completed. I buy a part here, part there. Some parts are necessary (to me) to have OE, some are not. Please don't fool yourselves thinking these cars are technological marvels.. they're not. They are beautiful, they are glorious. They are nothing short of amazing!! All at the same time, just a steel frame with a V12 and a nice body. What is the end goal? To have a toy to play with on Sundays.
  18. There you go assuming again.. No, I think we're a little north of that. Not much though. AND I went to the limit with the home. And the girls have an unlimited budget for softball.. So as laughable as you think it is, yep.. I'm restoring a Diablo. I buy parts when I can and I have liquidated/consolidated some other hobbies that had run their course and put them all into this car. I am in no rush. I'm also not dreaming that the car will be worth what a nice 6.0 example is worth. It keeps me home, it's teaching me a lot. I really have not spent over my head on it and some day; many many days later, I'll have a neat trophy. It's a hunk of shit to you from what I have shown over at my place.. but you'll see. The original point of it was to have something to show my girls. We are pretty adamant about teaching them that girls can do things too. I had hoped that they would both decide to pursue an education in engineering after seeing all of this.. You're welcome to point fingers and laugh all you like :-) it really does make it worth it in the end...
  19. I had thought about that. Honestly, I really don't mean for my posts to hijack the thread. But I'm done. Here is no need to go any further. I'm certainly not trying to make enemies, rather- just participate in some conversation... Fortis, fortis fortis.. I can assure you that nothing I have said to anyone here - was intended as an insult. Christ, Allan called something if put two years of my free time into "a hunk of shit"..and you're mad about a little jab that was said in jest. You can't be that thin skinned. I apologize if you were insulted.
  20. Well, some of this is true.. the trolling.. lol.. giving back what I'm getting.. stubborn.. sure am, BUT.. moldable.. can be reasoned with can have mind changed.. HAVE had mind changed to some degree.. The golden toilet was not specifically at him, and NEVER have I intended anything to be an insult.. 250k/yr would be marvelous.. but honestly, $125k/$200 combined would probably keep us set, including all of our dreams and aspirations. I have friends in other parts of the country doing more than that with... not an insult, what I feel are less valuable educations.. Yes, my location sucks as it's been pointed out..
  21. I am such a sucker.. no one reply to me= after this. That's all great Fortis, except that I feel that I manage our finances half way decently. We're not broke. I don't have excessive debt and we don't waste much money. Well, arguably. I don't have cable TV We don't have Hi speed internet because I already pay for internet with my cell. This is actually a burden. Our grocery bill is actually quite light compared to most families of four=I'm iwilling to bet. We don't go out to eat all that often. And I do work as hard as is needed. If extra time is required to meet a deadline, it's there. If not, I use my time for other projects of my own. I really don't sit still long. I don't watch TV. I don't sleep all day, I'm usually in bed early and up early. So just as every other assumption that's been thrown out there about me, you're also mostly wrong. You mention additional money and how it's spent. Well= he fact that it is spent means that someone else in here is benefitting. So with those extra dollars in someone else's business, means he can pay his employees more.. and then they can spend they're money somewhere else.. and on goes the dance. You can sit on your golden toilet and respond about how I'm wrong and know nothing, and keep playing the game like this. Eventually, it's gonna dry up. People aren't going to be able to spend. Houses will be foreclosed... auto loans defaulted.. and we will have another crisis...all because of the choking of the middle class/majority... Sooo.. I'm done. I've said how I feel, again.. and it's my right to feel this way. I'll continue to work and help improve the company that I work for, I'll also continue to think of ways to do my own thing. What I have taken from this is worth a lot to me, you fully admitted that by helping the wealthy, through tax cuts, means nothing for the rest of us. And for that, I still say I win. Disagree if you like.. I'll hang it on the wall as a trophy.
