  1. I changed the engine oil and the blower oil.. The race ramps make it easy..
  2. Personally, I'd lean more towards a 6.5 CM or others.. IMO, it's all what is in the safe as I already have MOA and sub-MOA rifles in .308 and 7.62x51.
  3. It is never wise to drop what sells.. I've owned 3 white vehicles.. They look decent until the first pass of the sponge shows how dirty they really were.. All I can say is a white vehicle is quite different than a white shirt..
  4. I had great luck with an Ariens also.. When I lived in MD, I had 2+ acres to mow and bought what would be an old Murray with a huge cut. After we added landscaping, the Murray required circling and circling.. I know, buy a zero turn, but they didn't exist back then.. I sold it and bought an Ariens which shortened the time it took and considerably.. When I moved to Michigan, I was mowing 6 acres and it handled that easily.. When I moved to NC, I had Bermuda grass and the neighbor who did landscaping said the Ariens would never handle it. The problem wasm't handling the mowing; it was the Bermuda grass filled the two grass catches quickly.. When I moved to western NC, he bought the Ariens from me and still has it... A prime thing for the OP to consider is the dealer you buy from as some offer great service and others not so great. Or they are great but have a huge backlog and the grass doesn't stop growing. LOL
  5. With heavier firearms or long barrel 357/.41/44 all mags, I wear a holster and belt. With a 1911-A1 in 45 or a modern clone in 400 Corbon; I use a web belt and Army surplus holster. Between the weight of the pistol and a few mags; it needs its own belt or my pants slide down.
  6. Your Bud's car is wicked or as they say in Texas it's sick.. Other than it's a compliment, beats me what sick means. Although I see the header wrap; how are the boots on his wires holding up? I have sleeves on Sassy's boots at the head. What injectors is he running? Sassy is running calibrated injectors. We are at the cabin so I don't have the build sheet here, but they are over 70#. Do the headers have wide band bungs for tuning? No emissions test here, so I didn't need the heated sensors.. All my hobbies have torque or recoil.. No offense to anyone as we all have what we enjoy; anyhow.. If it rolls, floats, flies or shoots, runs on gasoline or gunpowder, goes fast, shoots a big bullet, and makes lots of noise, thus producing torque and recoil, it's cool. But if it's a ball, made out of leather or inflated with air, that's hit with a bat, racquet, or club, used in a game played on a course, green, or court by yuppies, Democrats, or liberals - forget it. Again, no offense intended..
  7. pistol close. Where we live, when I take the Pitts out to do their thing; I'm armed.. The above is about a 70-80# panther or cougar caught on one of the game cameras. Coming home after dark; we've seen bigger or about a 100-120# cat. We also have bears, coyotes, hogs and even armadillos.. When I hear noises at night. The above is a Barnes AR with night vision. It's digital so day/night capable. It's a sub MOA rifle and the ATN isn't as accurate as the rifle; so, I put the ATN on an AK-74 with a 5 watt IR which will jump cans at as far as I need to shoot day or night. Typically in the truck, I have a S&W M59 and a Rem 870 pump. Due to the "neighbors" we take it a lot more seriously than most as we have no choice.
  8. Sassy is quick and could be quicker. But as she sits, quite a beast. She'd be quicker except I like to row.. Feeling the front wheels get light and wiggly in second from a roll is a rush.. Old picture, there's a Nick Williams throttle body and a FAST manifold there now. Sassy is a WIP or work in progress.. Haven't had her back for another pull at Tick, but I reckon she makes more. I enjoy building them. I'm retired after 45 years in engine, transmission and differential design engineering. My last 11 years were in forced induction.
  9. Try meth/water injection. However, I don't know what it will do to a warranty. Basically, Sassy but classy, as the wife named her is a high 9 second car. LS1, A&A blower, AFR cylinder heads, blower cam, Lingenfelter fuel pump, Boost-a-pump etc. Viper shafts etc in the transmission.. At the strip, no cage, so I dial her in, then let fly.. Ooops I'm sorry and it won't happened again. Considering dropping the blower drive pulley diameter and adding more at the tires..
  10. I changed the engine oil and the A&A blower oil, new plugs and air filter..
  11. Everyone's opinion and brand name loyalty may vary; however, I've found it wisest to go with the best service in your area.
  12. What I check is how a pistol points for me. Take a pistol and point it at something without aiming; then move your head to see where it is aimed. Basically, it's not different than pointing your index finger at something. What points well for you or me may not point well for someone else. As encounters of the worst kind happen fast; you will not have time to aim, only point.
  13. With factory built AR-10s. I've enjoyed very positive results with Barnes and Daniel Defense. They come complete with Giselle or Hyper-fire FCG, Magpul furniture etc.. Expensive yes, but when all things included are considered, not too bad as compared to buying an upgrade FCG, furniture etc. Accuracy in my 5,56/.223 Wylde chamber, 6,8 SPCII or 7.62/.308s from are sub-MOA with quality commercial or reloaded ammo. I'm an accuracy addict; not MOA of deer shooter.
  14. What I carry varies by where I am and what I'm doing. Usually out and about, a S&W M59 in warm weather and it colder weather a Portuguese High Power or a 1911-A1 with a McMcormick 10+1. At the cabin in the mountains of NE Georgia, the threat is four legged, a 357, 41 or 44 mag. Firearms are similar to shoes, one size doesn't fit all feet and one size doesn't fit all occasions.
