    Maybe he was asked to leave ??

    Before being arrested and hauled off.

    Sorry for your bad luck!

    Be glad you live where you do.

    Pz check the local docket he might've gotten appointed to a county magistrate position as the clock struck midnight.

    Happened to my family years ago. We brought civil action against the city after our house had 8 feet of water in the basement in a flood. A year later our attorney sends us a letter saying he can no longer represent us. Boom, appointed as the judge we would be in front of. Milked us!

    Wow. That’s a good example of why they have the reputation they do.

    Sounds like there’s no Professional or Ethical Standards down there.

Lots of cool stuff but I only took a few pics. 8787F75F-6BD7-41BC-9EDB-81F44FAF08FC.jpg84C5C100-F3EE-43FD-886E-D9540A731D29.jpgE0AD6E26-B20B-412B-A1B0-D93A7FC23D87.jpg19E9E963-0592-4D1D-AF0F-778CA2790CC1.jpg12659E06-7B5D-4F58-8F00-CDEFC0FA72EF.jpgEF0FF7A9-5B58-4C23-A4B3-46C6E97B41BB.jpg7503A5D4-7705-43EF-AA7C-A78E0E8A34E6.jpgF04C6727-C4DE-4C01-91F4-89D5F717D096.jpg

    the rampage should win the show just for still existing.

    i tried buying one a few years ago for the nostalgia. i dropped the deal when i started looking into replacement parts before the purchase. almost none exist, meaning everything needs to be custom fabricated...

    I thought it was neat, but thought that exact thing. I worked at an agouti parts store years ago, and a guy came in looking for a radiator for a dodge 50 pickup, which was actually some rebranded Mitsubishi thing if I remember correctly. There wasnt one anywhere on the east coast, and it was like 4-600$ to order one. Hard pass.

    also I only took pictures of a car if I thought, “the guys in shop time would really think this is cool.”

    except the carbon cub. That one was for me.

    i'll never be able to be the judge at a car show.

    i rate vehicles on their use, not on finish quality.
    it's easy to keep a car that's never used clean.
    it's so much harder to use a vehicle and then clean it up for a show.

    Thought I'd like to build a terminator model, and out of metal! How fun!... well, the pieces are very small, slow going. I'll feel quite accomplished if I get it fully assembled 20230611_152231.jpg

    This part in my hand is actually 4 pieces assembled to make what you see.

    I made a bicycle one a long time ago. Recently threw out a Kawasaki that I'm not sure I had all the pieces for anymore, and a windmill

    They're interesting, just not for me

    Just be careful, the pieces break really easily if you manipulate them too much. I got the tank one and broke like the 5th piece in....
