Okay, since we’re all spending our time here learning, how did you embed that???
Copy the URL of the YT video, then at the top of the panel you type your message in, to the right of the smileys there's 3 dots ... and a drop down arrow.
Click that, choose media, past the video URL in there.

Pretty sure every active member of the forum has posted. Might as well get mine in.


I was here. That is all.

Speaking of pie, I just got back into playing racquetball.
Last time I played racquetball, it involved filling it with gas, lighting it on fire, and kicking it up and down the street on fourth of July. Cops were called, we dispersed, and all our parents asked us if we knew anything about it. Nope! Don't know anything. Huh? No mom, my sneakers always look melted and smell like napalm. duh.

Oh crap, someone mentioned wisdom here. I'll show my way out.

My mother wouldn't have minded as long as we didn't ruin shoes (pretty expensive on their budges) - instead of kicking gas filled balls down the street, we built tennis ball cannons. About 5 or so beer (or pop) cans, cut both ends out of all but one.
The one you left the ends on, use a nail and punch a hole in one side next to the bottom. Then tape them all together end to end, with the intact can being the bottom can, all the others taped to the top.
Squirt lighter fluid in the hole in the bottom can, shake it just a bit, drop a tennis ball in the top, light the fluid through the hole - BOOM, that thing would go a city block.
The task was made easier by the fact that our mother supported our doing it, furnished the tape, matches, etc. and when we ran out of lighter fluid, we'd borrow some change from her and ride bikes to town to buy more.
We used firecrackers to shoot soup cans clear up almost out of sight in the sky - firecrackers furnished by - yup - Mom and Dad. They furnished the soup cans as well.

That's some damn fine parenting there. No bubble-wrap kids came from that house.

That's what I thought about mine - it replaced my 2011 Chevy - and I drove it about 6500 miles a year.
I assumed this truck would be driven even LESS since I'm retired.
HAHAHAHA.
20K and it's not 2 years old until November 12th or so.
I drive mine a hell of a lot more than I thought I would. Going full road trip next week though, so the miles are gunna come.

Holy crap we used to do that too. Must be a Midwest thing. Grew up in Ill.

C’mon Tuscadero and eTorque. I am beyond ready to place my order.
It will be the last Jeep I ever own.
And I would love for my granddaughter to get it when I’m gone.
