Tundy, house and beetle build thread...and exploring.

Got chrome?

 

It's only the v6 since it's a rental.

I miss my auto high beams and rear roll down window. But i do like the radio buttons being within reach without having to lean to the side and reach to change the station. And an average of over 20mpg without trying is where mpg should be. Highway mpg was achieved at well over ideal speed. But I'm sure plenty will deem a 75% increase in efficiency is nothing to be happy about. Cylinder deactivation is not noticeable and she'll get up and go real quick for a v6.

Same plastic interior as the Tundra, the infotainment buttons are more... Bubbly/animated looking but work fine. The lever type push buttons at the bottom are kinda silly but they work. Reverse camera is not as clear.
If I wasn't on the other side of the state I'd bring it back to swap out for the f1shitty.. but I'll have to save that for some other time.

 

Went with a hybrid for the last day... 24mpg.

 

Found a curvy road.

See y'all in a few hours.

 

Tail of the dragon?

 

Nah this epic scenic road i just found.

 

So... That was a good fun drive! *Through Mexico with an uncalibrated speedometer.

A couple hundred miles of long sweeping corners, and roads were in nice condition.

I drove for a few hours and realized i was damn close to Alabama. So i figured i would make it to the border then turn around. My trip back up the road was at dusk and there were many deer that appeared on the side of the road, but most stayed there.



Thing was ferking crazy fast. It's been a minute since I've been behind the wheel of a vette and the last one was an 09 Grand sport. A rocket is the best comparison.

I left it in tour mode which is normal mode i think. Options were eco, tour, sport and track.

Rear visibility was non existent with the top up so it was down the whole time.

Big fan of the HUD. You can adjust it up and down, what it displays and how bright it is. I didn't realize until the end that it has timers and gforce gauges on the dash...

 

Thought this might interest you since it was built in your neck of South Park. No garage shown though.

Nice, i like the idea!

Maybe for the next one at another location.

It's windy as fok up here this weekend... Still debating on trying to dig some holes for the shed posts this weekend or volunteering.

 

Heading out to dig some holes and someone says they won't be left behind!

 

Long day fighting the wind. First half of the day was calm while digging the holes.

Then i went to get posts and from then on it was 20-40mph winds. Made it real fun setting those things. But braced them up one by one, continued to make sure they were plumb and moved down the line.

It'll be a bit shorter, they only had 12 footers.

7-6" x 21' i could've went another 7ft and kept it under 200sf, but I'll probably do that size for the greenhouse.

 

Any reason you’re keeping so narrow? Some extra width may be nice especially if you can keep it under 200 sf

 

This one is going to be a wind break for the greenhouse as well as planning to just use it as a lumber storage area. It will only be three sided. And i won't need deep shelves for the lumber since then I'll never be able to access stuff in the back.

This is basically what I'm building for this one but it'll be dirt floor.



But now I'm thinking something like this would be nice... Have the open end facing out and then have a door on the end for long stuff i can put access from one end of the shed.



And really i just wanted to build something already! I just always have access to random materials that I'd like to be able to store somewhere other than lying on the ground.

I have a feeling as soon as the main building is done and I'm in it I'll probably put up another building for more storage. I'd like to be able to store trailers and equipment in a sheltered and secure area since the garage will already be full.

 

How do you like those seats.

 

It was a very good upgrade.

 

You have a link to where you bought it from

 

Bought it from a local Motorsports place.

 

Who are they made by. I'll look them up on line

 

I'm assuming you're talking about the racing seat? The model number and i think even the link to it are at the same area where you originally quoted from. I don't know it off the top of my head.
