Cars, motorcycles, and other things that move

When Boeing moved their HQ out of Seattle, I thought "There's the beginning of problems."

Doesn't this feel EXACTLY like another company abandoning its roots, going for the the buck and abandoning the principles that built it??

As a guy who grew up in Washington, I always preferred to fly in Boeing aircraft. No longer. That says a lot.

I think they should move back to Seattle and restore the building procedures they had when they left. I have a friend who worked at Boeing and he told me how thorough their process was. It's clearly no longer in force.

im thinking its a don't care attitude. just here for a check. working in machining i saw things that were sent out,
that i knew were coming back. no pride in their work. even when i had tolerances i tried for perfection. could be over worked and under appreciated workers too. pushing for production instead of quality. getting rid of the talent for less paid workers. it bites you sooner or later.

I was given a 76 Vette yesterday... Owner died. Garage kept, needs brakes

Maybe my Zombie Apocalypse Vette, on 33" BF Goodrich Mud Terrains isnt too far off.

Got to need more than just that. If it’s anything like dads 81, it’s leaking for every seal it has.

Nice score either way.

Whoa! Sorry for your loss.

I don't know about the insides, but that's one of the cooler body styles.

Never been in one, though. Is it hard to see over those swells over the front wheels?

No. The driving experience is odd though.

It's tricky to tell exactly where the nose ends until you get used to it because it swoops down so much. Seeing over the swells was never an issue.

The loss was my first girlfriend's (7th grade) husband.

I hate most Vettes after 73... the exception it the 78 Pace Car.

That being said, they're convertibles that handle like a dream, with posi's and a SBC. They're a bitch to work on, but worth it when you do.

And for what Im going to do with this car, I dont care.

My kid installed a tuner on his 2021 Mini S. Says it fells like a significant gain.
