    I had a 16 5.0, more like I bought it for my ex under my name :rofl:

    Paid that thing off in 4 years and she wrecked it 2 months afterward (after I pulled it off my insurance since I had broken up with her)

    My old Vette next to it

    And the Taco next to that even that I had when I first joined

    You gotta "white thing"?

    I will apologize in advance if you have color blind thing.

    I am aware that 10% of us males have some sort of color deficiency.

    The Taco I got cheap, just happened to be white

    The Mustang she chose, cause I took her to buy it brand new and she had her choice of lava red, blue, black, white, etc

    The Corvette I got for a steal..was a good under $60k OTD I remember that much

    The C4 is white too, but that wasn't by choice exactly; got it from an old retired dude. Original owner out in Monterey.

    Went with cash in hand to buy it and when he found out I was a Marine, let me have it for half of asking.

    The Z is red, the RX7 is red, and my other Corvettes were all different colors. Even had a purplish one :rofl:

    Man I be forgetting vehicles I owned :laugh: my last f150 was one of my favorites of all time. A 5.0 as well. Should’ve supercharged it before selling it.


    My dream car is a 240z with a stroker and ITB’s. But a 3000gt VR4 is something I’d buy if I ever hit the lottery and could buy one random vehicle to daily

    Also fighting words is saying it takes actual skill to weld flux core pretty and I miss doing it.

    Ok, I cannot for the life of me find these clamps I found about a week ago.

    Does anyone know who makes the welding table top clamps that are specific to 1/4" and 3/16" tops with 5/8" holes?

    The difference being that instead of just a standard round insert, it sort of 'hooks' under the table for tension in order to resist deforming holes that normally occurs on thin table tops.
