At the hotel for a few days, wife has a conference....Free trip for me, will hit the gym and explore the area.
I ran across some old pictures of my dad’s '68 Big Block L71 in the early 70s. Notice the funky port hole window added to the hardtop. ?

He has his Halliburton company car pulling his ‘68 to the track. :lol:

.they say "we get it from the same chick we always have and she's got good stuff. We don't buy from randoms" I'd be terrified that some day she might get some bad stuff and it's over.


This provides little to no security.

I review autopsies for all "non-natural deaths" in major metro area that includes overdoses intentional/non-intentional.

We often have DEA agents to sit in, and I can tell you many times witnesses and cell phone records show frequent purchases from same supplier. We also had a case where two friends purchased 5 pills from their guy as they always do, both took one single pill....one OD'd the other did not.

Safest bet, don't do drugs.

There's things I might go cheap on with a vehicle, Chinese tires would not be on that list.

Side note, Picking the '68 from the shop in 30min. :pimp:

Maybe he plans to trade in this truck in the near future but needs a set of tires to get him by.


Considering he was very concerned with long tread life and noise level, you could assume he keeping it for a while.

I remember years ago when I got some Hankook Dynapros AT tires for my truck. I had never heard of them and they were the best set of tires I’ve had.

Yep , Hancook truck and SUV tires are actually made in Tennessee.

I’m at DT this morning getting the wife’s ( <—-Avatar) SUV’s tires rotated/balanced. I’m waiting and guy comes in and tells service guy he needs tires on his Tundra and “only wants ones on sale” . Sales guy gives his recommendation, customer not happy with the price and asks for something cheaper. They go back and forth and settle on some Chinese brand I’ve never heard of and customer finishes with “Are they good tires? I am wanting tires that are quiet and will last.”

Man he’s in for a disappointment. :lol:
Too many options to only choose 1 IMO...

In one of his lectures, my Gross Anatomy prof in college referred to it as “also known as the chin rest”… the 90s were great. :lol:

One more because my Zealande integrated strap just showed up. Talk about high quality.






The Breitling B01 movement is superb, brand names removed one would have a hard time arguing which is better between the B01 and the Daytona 4131 movement. Amazing how similar when compared.
Id shadow someone if you can...

After my sophomore year in college I thought about not going back after the Spring. My brother ran a large A/C business in South Louisiana and had me work for him during the Summer.

1 full summer of going up into a South Louisiana 148degree attic in late July/August was enough for me to go back to college.

Lots of people think they can "handle the heat" until they experience it first hand.
