Yes and if possible find some charcoal filters in your size.
Open bags of charcoal and let it sit where the smell is worst.

I hate it. I avoid I-10 as much as possible.
Im not sure if it helped because i just did it today but i removed my phone number from my voter registration. Im assuming thats where they got it from initially.

I agree an owner usually has too much to lose in most situations for this gimmick. Now do a min wage cashier.

That is a thing so you are partly correct but it doesnt stop the station worker from pulling his vehicle or a buddies vehicle in right after you are finished to add to your transaction.

You are correct. They never commit other crimes like rape, grand theft, armed robbery, etc.
Absolutely we should be lenient on the poor 17 year old criminals. :rolleyes:

Before phone cameras 25 years ago this would of been a simple case of “brat kid got bitch slapped and this crazy man almost drowned him”. He and his crew wont be doing that again.

I heard hes selling, or has sold out of Agave...and some Zeus.
There is an article online from KPEL that says Nidal sold out of Agave last month (May ‘26) after 20 something years but does not list the new owner. I find this very odd (convenient) given the timing of this story.

Ain’t the coonass you need to worry about. :usa:
Sure but its difficult to keep short.
TLDR : Nothing sounds like a Merlin powered mustang.
During WW2 (mostly european theatre) we were losing our bomber aircraft at an atrocious rate due to the fact that our current fighter escorts at the time didnt have the range to keep up all the way to the target. They would escort the bombers part way then be forced to turn back home due to low fuel. The german fighter squadrons figured this out and would wait to attack after the bombers were on their own.
One day some brit test pilot who worked for rolls royce had the genius idea to take an already existing p-51 airframe and mate it to an existing 1450hp rolls royce merlin engine. This turned the plane into a monster at high altitude thanks to a 2 stage supercharger. Better yet it gave the plane enough range with external drop tanks to provide cover for the bombers all the way to the target and back. Its often quoted as being “the plane that won the war”. Not possible without the merlin under the hood that was being built under license here in the states by Packard.
And if you are ever lucky enough to hear a p-51 in person there is nothing else that sounds like it. Cant mistake it and its music to my ears.

Yes. But this quote will be lost on most non aviation fans sadly.
Huge loss for Aviation community. Dan put on some great airshows over the years in that plane.
