Thanks everyone. they just took me out for the day to spend with the animals. that is what means the most to me.
Hey you folks with bikes. Did you ever see "Boss Hoss"? Google it! It is some shit! Not some goofy stuff like those bus bikes but real bikes with a corvette engine!

I can't drink or anything and don't anyways I am a Vegan. No one needs to be drinking at my age anyways unless they are a bum ore something. Save that for the 20 somethings. Or even 30 somethings. Well whatever but after 80, should forget that crap altogether IMO regardless.

Please remember shit like KU Klux is also Terrorism. It is just domestic terrisom Now they have "straight parades" just to stick it to gay folks. Disgusting if you ask me. Too much hatred, not enough love. What happened to the 60's with all the love? Bring that back! We need that right now!.


Glad you had a good day. What animals did you see? We were just goofing around, I hope you realize.

No We look after hundreds of animals here. Many rare, endangered, wild, dangerous ETC. I am disabled and do not work myself anymore, my staff does. they took me out to see many of them today. I am in a Wheelchair.

Manny, that is a Grand national? If so, excellent car! You can build that thing to almost no limit. I once saw one with a turbo the size of a trash can! Modine Radiator still the best?

What a great thing to do for wild animals, who have a harder time surviving in the wild nowadays. Good on you!

Post some of your mods, anything...... This thread is not strictly for wood lovers........

Maybe I will. I’ve got a camo Aegis Solo with a Fire Luke 2 on top. And a Cube mod in Ink resin with another FL2. Plus two Nunchakus and an Aspire K3 rig in pink. I love all of them, actually.
I made the Cube setup pretty matchy. It’s black and white resin, and the FL2 is white and black resin, and I got a DT for it that is black with a bit of white. It looks pretty nice!

They’re really reliable, too. Like if I drop it, nothing is gonna happen. I dropped one tank last week which shattered. First time dropping anything like that! :bummer:
Last night I was making coffee in the same spot, and knocked the mod over into my mug with hot coffee in it. It was on top of a flat topped canister, and fell in tank first!! They’re okay, though. Which is pretty amazing. I wonder if I’m on a things happen in threes roll!

That is beautiful. You should have a website with gorgeous mods and plants!! It would be so cool. I think I would cry if I dropped one of the Stab mods. It’s why I like Geek Vape, they make them pretty indestructible. Knocking one over into hot coffee was the last straw though! I haven’t been really careful at all.

Well, I emailed VA multiple times... blew me off. So much for warranty. See that is what I mean. You buy these things, you are on your own. So buy good ones. VA is usually good.

Think if they made all Trumps Golf courses housing for homeless people! That is a viable answer but would he ever do that?

You all know how I am shaking. I tried to pour a gallon of Ejuice into a Liter container. Went all over the Granite. Freaking mess for someone to clean up. They get paid nonetheless but I apologized about 10 times.

That’s a good way to give the homeless a place to live!
I’m glad you’ve got folks looking after you! A gallon can be pretty heavy for anyone, imho. It’s cool to be nice!

Thank you. A gallon is like 100 pounds to me you have to understand. I am very sick. Don't worry though I am okay. Just limited in what I can do anymore. Luckily I have people to do anything for me. All I had to do was ask someone to pour that gallon but instead my pride made a big mess of it.

That is indeed a great idea for the homeless. If he really wanted to make a change here. He is self serving. Bottom line. Everything he does is to make his family richer. I give away all my money. How much do you need? AFAIK he has never made a sizeable charitable contribution. Shame on him.

Asmodus i having a 30% off on most of their products including their stabwoods. The EOS II or semi regulated Luna squonker are very inexpensive. Vapor DNA Vapor Range also carries Asmodus stabwoods.

The Yihi SC Mini SL stabwood isn’t tooo expensive especially if found on sale. They’re getting harder to find now though but stabwoodmods UK has a beautiful selection.

Join the stabby club. You’ll become addicted!!!

I’m really glad that you have enough to make a difference for yourself and others. That’s great. Pride goes before a big spill of VG or PG, it seems. Not making light of it, just go easy on yourself. It doesn’t help you or anyone helping you to feel like you should be doing anything. Should s are sometimes unhelpful, imho. Hope I’m not saying anything wrong. Just cut yourself a big break and be happy!
People that are multi billionaires kinda have a responsibility to help less fortunate folks. There’s so much good they could be doing on a huge scale and they’re not. I don’t want to get a rep here as a Trump hater, because I’m not. I like the Farm bill, but that’s a personal thing since I appreciate the hemp legalization. Nuff said.

I really liked that old school car Manny uploaded a picture of. I want a vintage car that’s mostly non electronic and not fiberglass!
Have a good one.

Sara, that Primo is super nice. My Primo is screwed up royally. VA blew me off. I just asked someone that knows them if they could help me out with them. I do not know why they would be such dicks. Maybe it is the "situation" going on there. I don't know. Even if they don't fix it who cares. I will buy another I like better. This one looked very good but it slowly came apart. I think overall they are top notch for production. I just have bad luck.. I hate the word "Billionaire". I guess Trump has put it out of fashion or something. Likely he is not even. The reason he will not release his returns. The truth is he is very self conscious. His feelings are easily hurt and he takes everything personally. People need to realize this and just stop attacking him and then he will stop going crazy. That is what I see. Anyways, yes people with money do have a "duty" to disperse that money to others in need IMO. Maybe some do not feel that way, that is just selfish. Does not make you look very good.

GNX was one of the best cars of all time. I prefer the rare sportier Firebird with the same engine. It is heavier though. Manny, is that Grand National "built"? You say it is "fast". What kind of 1/4 mile? 10 seconds for a streetable car is crazy fast. 7 seconds for strictly a race car that is trailered is crazy fast. More reasonable is 11 seconds and 9 seconds respectively.

I think the SS and Java look very similar, no? Or is it just me? At least in that photo. I know the SS has more blue and the java more red but not in that photo. They look like twins. Literally, like the movie with Arnold!

Next time I will get a resin VA and avoid this issue altogether! I am glad they make resin. Hardly anyone does. That begs the question, do they know they have a problem?

Well the Grand National ran (10) second quarter miles when it was released straight out of the factory..... It's a supercharged 3.8L but what killed it is the body.....

The car weights as much as a Russian T-28 ....ha

But he's put a larger supercharger and a cooling system...... So it runs 9's but poor traction the car is an automatic transmission and it burns out in every gear change......

I'm outside changing the oil on the bike........

Get a new Primo..... Sarah's is real nice looking (sexy).......

As usual, Phil at UK Stabwod Mods helped me with VA. That man is one of a kind. Few people would do what he has done for me. Sure, I bought some Mods from him but he went well above and beyond. If you want great service and he has what you want I would suggest you shop there. Obviously I am partial :)

I think side by side the Java really does look like the SS.

I did not know that car was that fast. Damn. I thought it was in the 12's out of the box. 10's is fast 9's is very fast. I like how the speedo goes across the dash. That mofo just jumps up when you spin the shit out of the wheels LOL. An Auto is usual on most race cars though. Like a Linko ratchet shifter if he put that in there. The stock trans not sure it will handle 9's. Maybe a smaller lock up torque converter and solid shaft. Like a 7 incher. Plus bigger rims/tires. Slicks probably bolted to the rims so they do not slip. You get that fast it is a pain in the ass.

no they didn't. Gn's were in the 15's, GNX's where around 14.

and it's a turbo, some had intercoolers.

my truck, if I got it tuned, would destroy that.

there are "plated" legal street cars that run 7"s

I had a "plated" legal '92 Mustang that ran high 6's. 1,300+BHP at the crank on twin turbos. It was the first twin turbo Mustang. It was a nightmare to keep running. I spent more time walking than driving. It was also nearly impossible to drive due to traction on street tires. Even Pirelli P-Zero. Ultimately I overheated the manifold, threw a rod and sold my $150,000 car for $3,000. It did have an exhaust gas temp monitor but I was not paying attention.

I was pretty sure the GNX did not do 10's out of the box in the 80's but I was not going to argue Manny(my friend). I figured he must know. To get it to 10's is no small feat either. That is a completely different car then. Not even same block. My Mustang had the same block but it was bored and stroked to 384. Luckily they had that Feldco spiral Head Gasket already or that would have been blowing every day with 43 pounds of boost. It was all boost in that car. The motor made less than a stock Mustang,

GNX seemed fast. I wonder if a Typhoon would beat it stock for stock? The Typhoon came out much later of course. It is the same 400BHP at wheels as the Cobra of that era but I think it is lighter? What kind of truck do you have jinx'd? I know a guy with a "stable" of legal 7's trucks and 3-4's trucks on top fuel or nitro that are only trackable.

Okay back to woodies....

I will be rather surprised if VA stands behind their Mod. Given the verbiage of their warranty. It would just be out of generosity but I kind of doubt it. It was indeed improperly cured wood, nothing I did. Yes I got juice on it but Stabwood is supposed to be waterproof. The wood actually "burst" apart. It was not in fact "water logged" whatsoever.

Something odd dawned on me and I am not sure why now. Trump no doubted will win again even if he has to resort to playing "dirty" which we all know is certainly not beyond him. I do not really mind either. Quite frankly I could care less. If nothing else, it makes for good "entertainment".

See, in that picture the SS looks nothing like the Java. In your side by side pictures for some reason they do look very similar to me. They are both very nice in their own right but I would give the edge in looks to the Java. I prefer the SS just due to the size. The Java is rather large but it was made to your hand so it is perfect for you but probably not for my small hands. The SS fits me like a glove. I am honestly afraid to use it very much, lest anything should happen to it. It is now my favorite Mod. That speaks volumes, my having such Mods as the Top Hat ETC.

Probably my daily driver now will be the Thor II. Not so expensive if I wreck it I will feel bad and it is otherwise pretty nice. I cannot bring myself to use an expensive custom Mod as a daily driver. I guess between that and a Thor I. I would use a Paranormal(have good battery life) but I have very bad luck with their longevity. Somehow juice goes right in the USB port and kills them rather abruptly for me at least. I guess jinx'd has better luck. So much in fact he went to the length to painstakingly make Stabwood panels for his without even using CNC! His looks like a completely different animal altogether. Very nice indeed. Since his lasts, that is really great.

My daily and usable mods are not Stabwood....... The mods need to be tough, lightweight and indestructible.......

The ones that qualify are these...... The Boxer and the Rebel.....
