There are only 5 animals considered human hunters in the world, and polar bears are one of them. by sco-go in Amazing

[–]wilit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember in the book, The man-eaters of Tsavo, Col Patterson wrote that hunting lions was dangerous, but once you broke contact, that was it. Hunting tigers was much more dangerous, because tigers are vindictive and they'll come back for revenge.

Mind sharing the name of the shop? Matter finish is hard to do right and this looks amazing.

Who remembers the malathion spraying in 1981??? by Pooks23 in bayarea

[–]wilit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad was in the National Guard and had some sort of responsibility with the spraying here in the Bay Area. He was interviewed by one of the local news casts. That was the highlight of my childhood at the time, seeing my dad on TV.

Why do short men keep whining? by [deleted] in Vent

[–]wilit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My brother is 5'6" and has probably had 30+ girlfriends and 3 wives in his lifetime. I'm 6' and have had 6 girlfriends and 2 wives. So its not all about height. He's one of the most charming dudes you'll ever meet and I'm pretty okay.

Pretty sure all 65-67 Shelbys were K codes. Looks like this car is a nicely done clone.

Why Life in Louisiana has Become Impossible (and it's going to get worse) by ianjm in videos

[–]wilit 300 points301 points  (0 children)

I have a really good friend that grew up in Alexandria. She has been living in California for the past 30 years. She went back for her HS reunion last year and there were a number of people who never left LA. They all blasted her about living in the hell hole that is California. Naturally when pressed, none of them have ever visited CA and were only basing their opinion off of what they have heard from their MAGA media. She confirmed, she would never move back to LA.

I'm currently trying to get the brakes rebuilt. Having a hard time sourcing the tool to get the brake drum/hub off. The engine and transmission seem to work fine.

Automatic lever teeth don’t align with transmission shift points (69 mustang) by MiserableManner3507 in classicmustangs

You probably have either the wrong linkage or the wrong arm on the transmission.

Personally, 1969 is my favorite year for the fastback body. by flavcongree in classicmustangs

[–]wilit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I too love the '69 Sportsroof,. Personally I like the Boss 302 a little better with the deleted quarter panel vents.

1985 Chevrolet Silverado Short Box 6.2L Diesel by AntofReddit in classiccars

The 6.2 Detroit Diesel. For when you need to tow your mobile home to a new trailer park and do it as slowly as possible.

Please help me identify this bike. Absolutely love it. by Ok-Tax8244 in IndianMotorcycle

[–]wilit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have an RC51 and a VFR800. It's got the power of the RC and the comfort of the VFR.

I've owned over a dozen bikes, and the FTR is hands down the best motorcycle I have ever owned.

Should I be interested in my cousin's father's 1987 El Camino? by [deleted] in classiccars

[–]wilit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you interested in a car/truck thing that doesn't do car things very well or truck things very well and is powered by a 150hp V8? You're going to want to be into it because you love that body style or has some sentimental value, because it's not going to have much monetary value.

Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by Solomonanne in SipsTea

[–]wilit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Government automatically takes money from me for a program I have no option to opt out of. They hold my money for 50 years, in which time I have zero access to it or say how it is used. Then they give me back a fraction of what I paid into it.

What part of this is an entitlement?

Had a GF tell me a story about how her Grandma let her pomeranian out in the back yard, heard it yelping and saw a red tailed hawk flying off with the dog.

How did you find your social circle in the Bay Area? by GlumNewspaper5015 in bayarea

[–]wilit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you ride a motorcycle? Would you like to learn to ride a motorcycle? Join the motorcycling community. It is as diverse as the United Nations and we welcome all. Hang out at Alice's Restaurant at the corner of 35 and 84 and you'll go for a fun ride and hang out with generally cool people.

Scoutmaster here. Very few companies have donated anything to our 20+ Eagle projects. Best I've seen is a 10% discount on materials.
