    Lathe I bought before I joined

    I guess I should clarify that the included and fully functional Fagor DRO is what I really wanted….

    Lathe I bought before I joined

    Just looking for the you sucks even though I have owned this for a year or so. Have not even ran it yet lol. Could not pass it up as it was literally at a school less than 1 km from my work. They auctioned 4 of them and I almost bought 2. When I bought my 2000 series Standard Moderns years ago I...

    I'm very excited

    I know a guy that may sell his 2000 series Standard Modern if he ever gets the time to get his 13x40 running. This assumes the 13x40 cuts as accurate as the SM. Had this Darbert 13x40 for over a year and only just started working on it.

    Car designs suck

    I know what you’re saying. My issue is someone stating a mustang will blow up at max hp in a few mins and that is completely untrue. A modern high hp car/truck can put out max hp all day long. A heavy truck isn’t making/useing max hp once up to speed just like a car or truck so not sure the...

    Car designs suck

    Guess you have never been to a racetrack? As much as a non Ford lover I am I do not believe they all blow up in a few mins. Would be some pretty short road races…..

    Car designs suck

    Anything in this day and age can be replicated with aftermarket gear. That said my 702Hp 2023 Ram TRX makes its own magical sound that the 70’s has NEVER even come close to. Underpowered vehicles do not sound good except possibly at idle if cammed. I grew up owning carbed V8’s and loved them at...

    Car designs suck

    Back in the 70’s…. 1978 for example a 350 chev made about 190hp. Now a v8 makes 400hp. Modern 400hp v8’s do well into 20 mpg.

    Real estate listings suck

    To be fair I said tool’s and toy’s. 20k 4 wheeler, 80k side by side, 40k Swimspa, 140k car. Haven’t touched tools yet lol.

    Real estate listings suck

    Keep in mind 99 percent of the guys with a good garage have good stuff in it and don’t want it showcased. Advertising your 2k tv and 5k stereo is one thing but 200k of tools and toys with your address is another.
