    I think even a knee or hip replacement would qualify as replacement of OEM part, but we'd need a ruling from the bunker.

    Last night out at dinner I got a text from a buddy who's at Daytona for the 24 Hour. That got us talking and we decided we're going to Indy this year for the 500. Last time was in 2019.

    We've done a tour package so we get a motorcoach with police escort from the hotel to get through the traffic. And always pay extra for seats under the main straight roof. Gets us out of the sun.

    And I always call it The Speedway...never, ever Brickyard

    Yes! My company is based in Noblesville IN and they do a customer open house every year for the 500. I always try to take a customer. We do the tour bus and escort as well! 50 person suite. They get pit passes etc...very good for customer relations.
    I wont be going this year as i will be putting in my 2 week notice today at 5pm.

    In 2019 We went to Anderson the night before for The Little 500. 33 sprint cars on a 1/4 mile oval was insanity. As I believe Dick Trickle described it as " its like racing jet fighters in a high school gymnasium"

    As I added that stipulation, since OEM parts are unavailable, having non factory parts installed
    in order to maintain full status is completely allowed.
    Although proof of said repairs maybe required..

    Howdy, friends!

    I looked at a 2023 SR 4x4 AC Taco yesterday, she is a brand new truck that's been on the lot for about 6 months. No deals to be had, the sales staff mentality is that when people see the cost of a new base '24 4x4, the 3rd gen will look like a relative deal. Looks like I will keep the '15 for a while longer.

    Has anyone else found the 'girl off grid' YT channel? She's a handy DIY'er living in the wilds of Canadia in a fixer-upper cabin. :D
