    Hey I saw a video you might want to look up. Gordon put on a fake mustache and got a car salesman  to  let him test drive a car he was supposedly going to buy. When he got out on the road, he started doing crazy stuff and the salesman freaked and kept screaming  " You're going to pay for this car! " and then when he got back to the lot he took off his mustache while the salesman was freaking out and the manager was smiling ( He was in on it) and then the salesman saw who it was and knew it was a joke! :)  

    This is the 2nd one after it came out that the first one was a bit staged.

    Kids these days I swear...here we are busting a** at work while one of our coworker's called in sick. Turns out he isn't sick at all, he's selling crap on some app called Whatnot or something. One of my other coworkers is live streaming this :censored: online sale. Hope the boss sees it too and gives him a good reaming. No wonder this country is in the mess it's in with bums like this.

    Is it on Fox again? I still don't have it because of the contract dispute with Dish Network. When does it start? 

    Yeah it's on Fox. There is weather in the area and the race start has been pushed back to close to 4pm. Pretty good chance to get the full race in but with all the weird weather California is getting this week it might be postponed or rain shortened.

    In Europe this is the Opel (Vauxhall in the UK) Insignia Country Tourer. The sedans are reasonably popular here.

    They are really nice cars. Really wish I was getting the new car as I would get one.

    Well my dad for some reason or another cancelled getting the stent put in his carotid artery this past Tuesday. The surgeons don't want to do the heart surgery without getting the stent put in as the risk of a stroke is too great because his right carotid is over 90% blocked. I don't know why but I wish he'd make his mind up one way or the other about the heart surgery and stop putting the rest of us through the emotional rollercoaster.

    I know...it’s not cheap or a budget set. But, it contains almost the entire KR franchise, besides just the original series (the only thing not included was the 2008 remake 1 season series), Including tons of special features & memorabilia items. It’s expensive, but well worth it if you can do it! :banana:

    I wonder how much it would be if they drop the Team Knight Rider series out of the set. I was never a fan of that show. Since the 'Hoff is so huge in Germany it's not surprising to see they put out a special edition Blu-ray of the series. Mill Creek releases aren't really worth the money. They compress the quality to fit more episodes on each disc.

    Did some test driving Friday. Drove a Buick Regal tourx. Those are rare and since the wife is getting the new car I figured I got to take the chance to drive one since one showed up at a local dealer for sale. It handled great for it's size. Then we went to another dealership to see what they had and they just got in a 2014 Chevy Impala with the options she wants and without the moon roof and only 5,000 miles. It still had the new car smell too. It sure was nice but after doing some research we decided not to buy it since the 2018-20 model years are Consumer reports best buys since Chevy worked out most of the issues. One main issue was the trunk leak from the brake light area and the fix is a new rubber foam gasket to replace the thin one that was put on at the factory between the brake light housing and body. Unfortunately gm doesn't think it's a recall-able issue even though it effects every single one they made till the put the new gasket on 2018 or 19 models. Dealers charge anywhere from $600-1200 just to do this gasket replacement.

    I guess they will be taking away the California Auto Club Speedway in 2024 for a couple of years due to construction. People are throwing out the idea of putting the Coliseum in it's place in the play offs. :roll: Like Denny Hamlin said...they had a hard time fitting all the cars on the track as it is...how they going to put 40 cars out there. 

    I don't think they will do that at the Coliseum. It's just not big enough. They might try Portland for just one race to replace Auto club speedway for 2024 season. They're turning auto club speedway into a short track. The plan is to basically use the front stretch and then put in two narrow turns like Martinsville and a short back stretch so it'll look like a shorter narrower Richmond. It's supposed to be done for 2025 season.

    Garret you're not the only one that didn't watch the whole Clash. Once they got to the "halftime" show I turned it off. I'm with Dale jr I hope this is the last year they do the coliseum race. There's plenty of short tracks on the west coast they could hold this race instead of having to temporarily build one. Or better yet move it to a short track in Florida and bring back the speed weeks.

    Off the subject....I am so mad right now. My wife worked a double shift today. Her workplace has been having trouble finding employees the past 2 years so has been offering more and more money to attract people. They are now offering to pay their newly hired secretaries the same amount per hour that she is making.....AND SHE HAS BEEN THERE 44 YEARS! 

    I guess this is not the fault of management. They need people and this is the only way to get them. The government is just paying more money for people to stay home than work. Oh well, we aren't supposed to get political here. We can only do that if defending the Dukes so I won't go any further. It's infuriating. I can't wait for her to retire....hopefully in the fall.

    Yeah and the younger generation thinks they should be making $20+ an hour and get hour lunches and half hour breaks and also make their own hours. One of them got their walking papers a few weeks ago at the wife's work when they went off on the foreman for changing their break. 

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    we're having all that rolling black out crap where I am to!

    Electric car owners in warmer climates that got the extremely frigid temperatures found out one thing about their better for the environment vehicle's....they won't charge in such cold temperatures :lol::lol::lol:. One Tesla owner in Virginia found out the hard way when they tried charging at home and when that didn't work they drove to a nearby Tesla supercharger spot where it once again failed to charge, in fact it drained the battery further :lol:. That would explain why I only seen one electric car on the road over the frigid weekend.

    This is why I say automakers should be throwing their money into hybrids instead of only electric cars. For one our national electric grid is not up to the task and is proving quite vulnerable to weather and attacks.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    Merry Christmas everybody. We are more than half way through the storm and still haven't lost our electric. I hope it stays that way. Our daughter and her family are visiting from out of town so electricity is always nice with a full house!

    We just received an email from our electric provider that there's the possibility of rolling blackouts for the next 24 hours due to the grid being pushed to near limits. I really hope not as our heater is electric and so is the stove. 

    Pets name after Dukes's folks?

    I never saw a cat on Dukes...but they tried blaming a sound on a cat when they were held captive on the farm. But Rosco or someone had to pipe in that they don't have a cat. LOL. 

    Thank you. <3 

    I swear I remember an episode where Bo or Luke is petting an orange cat when they were visiting someone.
