    Profit on Pickup Trucks

    Model 3 test drive March 25

    Drove my Nephews model Y at Christmas time. I just hopped in and went, the car was fast and fun. It was in a rural area, 55 speed limit and hardly any traffic. Nothing to it, while I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, I didn't have any problems.

    I want to like Tesla...but...

    BIL and Nephew both have Tesla model Y's. Asked Nephew if he came to family Christmas party in his Tesla. He didn't say a word but pitched me the keys. 14 year old grandson and I took it out for a spin. I wish you could have seen how big his eye's got when I floored it.

    Bringing A Classic LS6 454 Back To Factory Specs

    Bought a new, in the crate LS6, back around 1990. Paid $2800 for it. Headers, 850 double pumper and an HEI ignition and it was ready to go. Put it in a nice 70 CST Chevy pickup and it was quite a bit faster than the 307 that was in it. Good times.

    1964 Ford Falcon

    My Aunt had a 63. She won it at the grand opening of a shopping mall. A helicopter flew over and dropped a bunch of ping pong balls. She got one that had a mark on it and turns out it was the winner of the new ford falcon. They drove that little basic car for many years and miles.

    The continuing saga of the Maserati Ghibli

    Sister just bought a new Levante. She was going to buy a Tesla, but didn't think it looked as good as the Maserati. She bought with her eyes as a lot of people do. In fairness it is a very nice looking car.

    Thieves broke into my truck several years ago. Punch a hole under the door handle to get in. Wife had left her pocketbook in the truck.
