I bought a top box like that in about 72. At $80 a FEW weeks it took while to pay off
Still have it!

Thank You For Your Service.

See, you can be a bad ass and style recycle!

I bought a Rick Mears Special Edition Snap-On box in '84 for $1,100. Still have it.

Was sitting at a table with a couple of friends in the bar in the restaurant I used to work at and this big old Lincoln screeches around the end of the building and pulls up over the curb and into the bushes. He backs down into his parking spot and exits said Lincoln. He stumbles in the front and into the bar, my friends and I are looking at each other with great glee! He sits at a table and orders a drink and the cocktail waitress brings it to him he takes a sip and sets it down. We are all watching to see what comes next. He reaches for his drink but grabs the table candle instead ? pouring hot wax in his mouth ? immediately starts pawing at his tongue and grabs some napkins to assist. I was in so much pain from laughter. He walks out, gets in his Lincoln and burns on outta there.

The mods are probably climate change activists. If you get banned “again” we’ll see you win a week our so. I enjoy you intellect and unbiased your insights. If the mods get offended they should go drown themselves in the cereal they eat from their mother’s kitchen.

I was going to let this go, but “am1978’s“ annoying political comment prompts me to set the record straight:

Gore was quoting a NAVY scientist In 2009.

This is exactly word-for-word what Gore said:

“Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap during some of the summer months could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.” Gore cited findings from climatologist Dr Wieslav Maslowski, a research professor at the Naval Postgraduate School.

Polar ice is ENORMOUSLY important to our military. For example it’s critical to our sub-based nuclear strategy. In 2009 and today most models show its MOST LIKELY that the Arctic starts having ice-free summers around mid-century. Obviously the Navy can’t just prepare for a “most likely” scenario and call it a day. They model more severe scenarios for preparedness. SOME of the models have to assume things about global methane and carbon emissions, ozone layer reflections, and the like which could accelerate the process.

So yeah, have a good laugh at a scientist who chooses to support our Armed Forces.

Seriously, the fact that it’s larger not smaller doesn’t matter? Only matters the it was some Navy guy over estimating intentionally. Facts don’t matter I guess, because it wasn’t even a close to REAL world prediction.

That’s cool. No big deal. Try not to take things so seriously. I could really care less if it was a Navy scientist who said it. As an Army (disabled) veteran and DoD civilian I have seen all sorts of mediocrity in my career. Just because the guy was a Navy Post Grad School researcher doesn’t make him special and it certainly doesn’t mean he was necessarily supporting our military, that’s simply his job. And he was wrong, so in my capacity I will laugh at him.

I was a civie in the DoD at one time. Some of the stuff I seen needs to be flush down the toilet. The bullshit that goes on to justify research money is insane. Research money for climate change is easy pickin's. That's why you seen a lot of scientists jump on the bandwagon. They made a easy living off of it.

He sure didn’t stop capitalizing on it when it became fact that he was full of shit. Hell, some are still buying it.
