Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Short answer
Generally yes cause it will maintain more speed at the end of the alley.
A Matt finish has more bite against the lane surface and therefore will slow down because of more friction and
the result would be a ball that will hook more.

 

Get something older and fix it up. That's my plan. New stuff has too many "dealer specific " items lots of independent shops can't even work on them

 

Unfortunately this one is for momma. I don't mind at all her having a nicer/newer vehicle than me, she's hauling the kiddos around way more than me. I just drag my feet on big decisions like this.

 

Not so sure what you’re doing is dragging your feet.

You have a specific model and want to get the right price, right?

It takes some time to navigate around the sharks to get the white whale

Good morning everyone Two more days for the weekend. Too had it’s gonna be stormy around these parts.


When I say I appreciate a sunny day, I really appreciate it…

Edit- just read from a reputable news source a 25% tariff on foreign car parts is going into effect on 4/2/25. Stock up on those OEM Yota parts now…

 

Morning all have a great day

 

I used to hang out in a friend's machine shop where he made aircraft parts for Lockheed and Boeing

Super cool thread here ...

 

Morning crew, had to take the bolt cutters to work because we keep getting trucks from Canada with bolt seals on them.

Jealous we are now having wildfires popping up everywhere, with all the hurricane debris on the ground is getting bad.
Hope everyone has a good day and be careful today.

 

Welcome to the shop

 

Good morning manly men, a crisp 23 degrees out there this morning.

 

Stayed up too late playing with my new monitor. I'm paying for that now.

 

I woke up in the chair at 2 am then went to bed - very odd dreams and felt kind of off when the alarm went off at 6. I'm vertical now in the kitchen chair, as long as I stay out of "the chair" I probably won't fall back asleep.

...although I may have occasionally fallen asleep in the kitchen chair too...

In Saigon now ... 1753 hours and 90 degrees F. Not too hot

 

Woke up last night and was realized crashing that expensive job on the machine I run at work was just a dream. Have that dream every now and then.

 

Good Thursday morning friends! Hope you all have a wonderful day

Wow, what a difference

 

TY.
When you do three rounds of sanding/filling/polishing, you know they are in rough shape.
