    Offered to take my boys to the Twins opener yesterday.  They chose the auto show.  Not at all due to the weather, but just the fact how boring baseball was.  Figured I'd be a crappy parent to not offer them a baseball game experience at least once.  Took them to the Globetrotters game a week ago, going to a Loons game tomorrow and a Wild game next week...but they said no to baseball.  They both have been to the Saints stadium as we went to the championship game, but that might be more exciting than anything MLB has to offer as an experience.

    Football, we sit in our seats and watch game. Baseball, maybe a couple innings.  Rest of the time it is just a big party.  I don’t think I have ever sat and watched 9 innings of baseball. :dunno:

  2.   I thought it  was interesting and have always said. 
    We are kind of local socialites and hang with like minded people. Definitely,  been my experience. 
    At weddings, I see couples who rarely drink together. Having drinks and next thing you know they are dancing together, pawing all over each other like teenagers.  

    Everyone should hang with their spouse at least once a month. Take her out, wine and dine her, bang the hell out of her!  
     

    My marriage advice. :lol:

    Been together 33 years also.

    X2.  I would want to enjoy the car I put that much time and money into.  Some people get that excitement out of shows though I guess.

    I guess that’s why I really dig rat rods.

    Yeah, its kind of funny. You go to the shows with all these beautiful high dollar cars and every one is flocking around the rat rods. You can only look at so many Camaros, chevelles , corvettes. 

  4. The days of a shiny paint job and a set of wheels are pretty much over. You really have to push the envelope to get your car noticed now. My dads mustang. Never driven, other than to put it on and off trailer. Not for me. I wouldn’t own a car, I wouldn’t drive.

    When I first started collecting Corvettes I was all into the Bloomfield and NCRS bullshit. That phase didn't last long. It's more stress than anything.

    Yeah, some of those guys are nuts. we have done a couple, where they came in with nice shiny paint jobs and we sanded em down and repainted with lacquer.  kind of weird, making a car look worse than when it came in. probably done more corvettes than anything.  i had a guy bought a new frame, every bolt, screw, fastener. completely disassembled his car and rebuilt it from a bare frame. motor, trans, rear end,  interior. all new. it was a pretty fun project.

    Floor was crumpled up pretty bad rails weren’t bad it got hit low. It’s even more enjoyable drilling welds when they barely drill out and leave it to VW to put 10fucking million of them. 

    Right! the new metal destroys the bits.  shitty job, having to cut anything apart like that.

    Resale is a dumb argument.  You pay more for stock to sell for more?  I buy cars to enjoy them.  Shit made in the 60's generally suck to drive until modified.  Some rare exceptions but the charger is not one of those exceptions.

    Couldn’t agree more.  Most people don’t know what all original is anyway. The cars you are driving today are perfect. Nothing like older cars. The paint and fit on them were awful. I like my car, but am I owning a hot rod with a 175 hp. Motor? Hell no!  :lol: 
    Let my wife worry about resale, when I die.

    Working on trying to get up and move after cutting this shit box apart all afternoon :lol:IMG_5465.thumb.jpeg.a9cc8d1ceda542c9193fec8372ba2543.jpeg

    Damn. Lot of work. I hate drilling spot welds. Couldn’t pull the floor?  Rails look pretty straight. 

  9. Always loved these. I remember when they first came out.  Guy had one down at Woodward. Pulled into the gas station and had a huge crowd around it. He let all the kids sit in it have their pictures taken. Pretty cool of him.

    Wild isn’t it? SMH

    ”Oh the drama” or “Stop whining” :suicide:

    Yeah, just the way I see it. You have members who admittedly have no desire to be civil or part of the community. “Im just here to trigger other members and fight with them”!!!!

    But, he is the one bringing the drama? :dunno:

    Over what? He was asked a question and was having a civil discussion. Why is that a problem for you?

    It’s hilarious. rigid is one of the most even keeled people . on a site with people who can’t make a post without tagging others , retard, maggot, dumb fuckers, or some personal attack. Yet he is the  huge shit  stirrer who needs to calm down and be  dealt with. :dunno:
