I think there is one near me. People do not repaint cars that way like they did years ago.


Bought a white 1960 Ford for $75 and
had it painted cherry red for $29.95.
New car for me. Sounds cheap but
in 1967 that was the same as $650
today.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

When I was a kid people still did it. Today some people will buy 10 year old large, Detroit iron and throw an enamel coat on it so they have something decent looking to take the family around in for a few years. I had relatives had twin LeSabres that their kid wrecked different parts of. If I had the room I would have given them like $800 for both, matched the parts, put an enamel coat on, and sold it for about $3000 which a working man would have jumped at. Alas it was not to be.

Seems like major college football is teetering on the brink. You know who is salivating? The NFL! I'd bet my bottom dollar they move two games a week to Saturday to fill the void and rake in some extra cash.

The college football is a big thing as one year off will affect 2-3 years of the NFL draft. Love seeing these idiots go down together.

A powerful storm damaged 10 million acres of crop land in Iowa. They are calling the storm a dorecho. I’ve never heard that term in my life but it makes me hungry for Taco Bell.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

Exactly! I don't know why more people aren't talking about this angle. Teams in every major sport are really going to be hurting during the draft in a few years since none of the kids today are being developed because of this overblown "pandemic".

Oh well! If they want to slit their own throats, that's just fine with me. Screw sports LOL!!

Every sports team in America should care. But they don't. Go figure.

In the meantime, I'll just grab my popcorn 🍿 and enjoy watching them go down in flames 🔥 lol

Here is a hardcore conservative that lives to win football games.
Kneeling is no longer individual, its a movement involving entire teams to kneel.
Its so rich that one of conservatives favorite sports is filled with BLM supporters
