    Transporter prices are out of hand. Friend in California isn’t helping either as he restores them and then auctions them on Japanese sites as they will pay even more. Tells me that to find the very best examples you’ll have to go to Japan to find them now.

    Even Gronk knows you don't eat the soap.


    Teens, Please Stop Eating Laundry Detergent

    [​IMG]

    However, the Tide Pod Challenge will do nothing but cause health issues to the people who take it, who are mostly teenagers. The so-called "challenge" of eating the pods started in 2016, but the ridiculous trend has recently experienced a resurgence thanks to a series of memes depicting the pods as "forbidden fruit".

    Back in 2015, the Onion published a joking article from the perspective of a child wondering what it would be like to eat the highly enticing red and blue-colored detergent, looking like sweets. "It's toxic soap chemicals that these teenage children are putting into their mouths". It responds to recent news reports and writes, "we want to make very clear that our position is the title of this video: DON'T EAT THE LAUNDRY PODS.Not even a little tiny bit, to impress your dumb friends or the internet".

    Mom tried paprika, belts and the spatula. Despite what the educated busy bodies say will happen, we all turned out ok except my brother he's a complete fuckup that even a bullwhip can't sort out

    So I live in a pretty spectacular neighborhood with an HOA. I was seriously drafted involuntarily to serve for one year. While there though I learned the people that were pursued for infractions....were truly mentally challenged. If you buy a house where there is an HOA....you are very well notified of all the rules before moving in. They are not going to change for YOU! You can't buy a Tacoma and then trash Toyota publicly for not selling you YOUR truck with a LS engine in it. The Taco is a product that you were very well aware of in it's entirety before you drove off the lot with! Now....I happen to completely rebuild major wrecks....do plenty of complete driveline swaps and so forth at my house. No one wants to see your trash hoopty sitting in the driveway even if it does have a cover on it. No one wants to have to drive around your multiple vehicles that you have parked on your street that should be in your driveway. I manage to pull off what I do only because I tow my vehicles to my house and immediately stuff them into my garage. I do not make any loud noises after 8pm and I don't work with the garage doors open. The only time the vehicle gets to see the sun is when I am rolling out a complete running and driving vehicle. If you have a good HOA...they truly do help keep your hood looking good while preserving property values. But a bad HOA.....holy $heesh.....you really are forced to witness and be victimized by some seriously scary stoopid!

    But that's the problem. You may know going in what the current situation is, but it changes on the whim of the nut jobs in office (much like our political system). Some day a board member decides all garage doors need to be open all day or you get a financial penalty. No recourse, you're screwed. No thanks.
