    Been a weird holiday weekend so far. My dad got triple bypass surgery Friday, he's doing ok but has a long way to go. 

    Crazy neighbors next door got the boot out finally. However now there's a new crazy neighbor in the next building over :lol:. Cops have been here 3 days in a row for her. We came home from the hospital Friday and she was in the parking lot screaming obscenities at everyone, have no idea why. I live streamed the Ring camera to catch it on video. After talking with the on site maintenance about her I will be sending the video to management.

    Well y'all can stop throwing dirt on Jimmie Johnson...throw it on Kyle Busch. :blink:

    With that said...I totally agree with you all. I never thought I'd see a day where JJ would be in something other than Chevy. I have seen articles on it, but haven't brought myself to read it. Because...you know, reading it makes it true. I'd rather be the ostrich with my head in the sand when it comes to anything with my Hendrick boys (JJ will always be included in that list...LOL).  I don't get why he wants to change or to switch...probably never will. Maybe money has something to do with it. IDK. I do know that the current Chevrolet will stop making parts after (I think) next year. So there is talk about what they will drive after that...so maybe that has something to do with it. I've read articles where they are questioning whether Chevy will be in NASCAR after that. Which I can't see them NOT being in NASCAR, but maybe JJ knows something we don't know.

    Don't be throwing JJ under the bus so soon...HA HA. 

    And it's not just JJ...it's also Richard Petty. So why you not throwing dirt on him? Just poor JJ...LOL.

    OK in all seriousness, I agree with you. But I have a hard time being negative about JJ...even if I am disappointed by his choice he has made. He's not perfect afterall.

    Just super man. ;) 

    Richard Petty has no stake in the team anymore that's why it's called Legacy MotorClub Racing. Maury Gallagher bought out Petty's stake then sold it to Jimmie. Toyota must've threw a big number at them to switch from getting Hendrick motorsports stuff.

    The one I test drove was dark blue with white stripes. Was fully loaded but I didn't like the moonroof, that alone took an extra 1.5-2 inches of headroom in an already tight space. There's one I've been eyeing for a few months that still hasn't been sold that's silver with black stripes, I'm thinking the dealer might be interested in making a deal since they've been stuck with it for so long. After we got the Regal I wasn't really looking but our mechanic said my little red Saturn might be destined for the junkyard or I could throw more money at it replacing the front suspension. I'll have a talk with our banker this week and see what they say.

    After a lousy Saturday morning with my dad and uncle a friend took me out to test drive fun cars to cheer me up. Test drove a V6 Camaro that left me smiling the rest of the day. I don't think it was factory stock V6 as it sure didn't move like a V6. The exhaust was modified as it had a nice low thrumble. Great price too, such a great price everyone is telling me to go for it even though I'm trying to be practical in my next vehicle purchase lol.

    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.
