i might look into the whole thing further if i remember in a year-- after all the personal biases flare down, and the facts tend to rise to the surface more.

I haven't watched TV since I purchased my house in 2011 LOL. I should be clear... I watch netflix/prime on streaming but haven't watched any broadcast TV in almost a decade LOL

The biases won't ever end and the facts will always be twisted on the surface. Find original reporting from multiple sources and draw logical conclusions

I've pretty much finished the refresh of that old SS now anyway.

She's is all camed up and tuned, shift kitted, 3.91 rear, all the suspension has been done, bushings, rims and rubber, new hoses, ps reservoir, new coolant expansion tank, serviced every oil and fluid and I even threw in a headunit so I can blue toorh the phone.

It's a comfy old cruiser with all the mod cons.

I was trying to figure out why your car looked weird to me... I've never see a GTO (or variant) with more than two doors. The four door look is super weird!

That's just the start of it.

You couldn't get the last of the V8 Interceptors?

Hey, if you're going to show a UTE at least show a decent one. (so want, can't have)

I chose the picture the same way I shop for cars. Found the first blue one from a quick search and ran with it.

Ah... damn. I was going to close this random thread, when it hit 5000 pages. O’well I’ll just wait til like 5100 pages or something to round off. When it’s closed, new one can be made. Interested to see the title. But we still got 54 pages to go before that.

There is nothing redeeming there that I can see. I also have never had a Twitter account, nor any other social media except LinkedIn and I only have that because it is almost a requirement any more for a job search.

It has gotten just about as bad as Facebook in terms of unwanted solicitations and advertising and I have considered taking down my page. Once I retire, I most likely will.

This site, and a couple of similar ones covering for other hobbies, is as close to social media as I come.

I find FB useful for a lot of things. I have family all over the globe, some of whom don't speak english. So it is easy to see what they are up to and to share pictures and videos. It is also easy to form private groups and organize events without having to call or write everyone. One post and it's all there for all to see. When I played on a national team we had 2 of us out of OR, about 10 out of CA, a couple guys in IL, 1 in NY, and a couple guys in FL. So it was easy to organize travel, practices, schedules, and see who was available for what events.

We also use it at work to keep tabs on customers. We attached their FB accounts for the companies to our contact manager.

I completely understand it has its benefits, but the negatives far outweigh that for me. Just my personal opinion and I realize I'm in a minority when it comes to that.

Oh, and I also don't do business online with a company that only uses Facebook. It's one thing to have a social media presence, its a completely different thing to force your customers to use a specific platform. (not saying you do that, your post just reminded me of that)

You could find information about them the old fashioned way before we had modern technology like the internet or phones...

(I agree with you though, it is annoying)

Ultra has to make the new one though.


Alright, time to burn this fucker down!

Rules? We don't need rules where we're going!

That's basically what i do, I either visit or phone, just don't use their Facebook page. It's pseudo OK if they have an open business page (which doesn't require a login to FB) but a lot of them don't set it up that way.
