you won't realize it without being informed, but, this an absolutely regular dolly (hand truck), made into a regular go-kart, by a regular guy. He did something quite extraordinary though... he shared all the links to the parts sources, and the how to make it video!
Polaris profits dropped 82% compared to last year.
Causes?
high interest rates pushing people away from financing large purchases, unease over the upcoming US Presidential election, the lack of snow for the vast majority of the East Coast last winter, as well as the general unease folks have over the economy and their employment stability.
allright, lets take a moment to examine REAL price gouging. It's the gas station nearest the airport rental car companies that charge 10 dollars a gallon if they have to top off the rental, so renters fill up at the closest gas station to the rental car company who charges 2 dollars more per gallon than the same brand station 7 miles away does
Same brand, same day, 2 dollars more per gallon.
That's a fact.
The station by the airport on Grape on the PCH is at 6.29, the station on El Cajon and the 15, 4.29!
That's price gouging.
in today's Ringbrothers press release, they listed 3 vehicles they are bringing to SEMA
1970 ‘Cuda
and 2 years ago they brought their Blazer https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2022/11/enyo-wins-semas-battle-of-builders-2022.html
1987 Grand National
1972 Blazer
Just like I don't see the point of repeat posting the same news or vehicle, I don't see the point of bringing the same vehicle, or one just like it, back to SEMA in less than 5 years.
Not many people go to SEMA every year, I guess? But the coverage of SEMA is available every year, and if reporters simply show that you brought the same, or similar vehicles, then, why bother looking at the coverage?
when the musclecars just looked right, they had the big tires in back, some rake, and Cragars, Keystones, or slotted mags

I like 60s vehicles more than the 70s vehicles, but I get a laugh more from 70s fashion and goofy stuff like the van craze, and songs that were meant to make you laugh (Ray Stevens, Jerry Reed, Roger Miller) than anything from the 60s

That's something a lot of people don't realize, most Facebook pages are just simply as focused as magazines were, without the advertising.

the Springfield-Branson National Airport made the news for never towing roughly 25 abandoned cars. One car in particular was abandoned when the owner died... and the newspaper even published his obit. Some have sat there for 4 years
Warbirds of Glory Museum, the museum built around the Sandbar Mitchell B25 field find that is getting restored, has a student apprenticeship program.
This warbird restoration program attracted a group of high school students who were eager to learn about aviation and aircraft restoration. Over the years, more than 50 students have worked on the B-25, gaining hands-on experience in reading original North American drawings, performing CAD work, operating CNC machines, and learning aviation maintenance techniques.
One particularly notable student, Logan Kucharek, who had joined the project at age 13, eventually became a lead engineer at a jet engine company. Another student, Katelyn, discovered her passion for aviation through the program and is now working as an aircraft mechanic.
