I could use some of those motzo sticks.
I got the cheesesteak and it was good but i should have just got a good ole roast beef.

I hadn't had Arby's in a few years. It was time to see if the one by the 'new' house was any good 😆

Retired. Finally !!
When the cyber truck was first released, I was like, "That thing is uglier than a crack ho on nickel night. No designer at Tesla can draw anything but straight lines ??". After a while it grew on me. Still didn't want one and amazingly there are tons of them here. Then I started getting sick of seeing them and the disgust returned. Owners started "tricking" them out; different body wraps, paint jobs, etc.. Helped, but only a little.

There is a Tesla distributorship about 15 miles from my house; it was an old Gander Mountain store. The parking lot was always filled with Tesla cars and only a few cyber trucks. It's reversed, more trucks (by a LOT) than cars.

I guess no one wants them ugly things anymore.

First time
I saw it I thought it was a custom car. I don’t keep up with Tesla stuff really.

I go down to SPI and hit the beach on beach access 6 North past the nude beach, or go down to Boca Chica past the eyesore of SpaceX and the couple hundred Cybertrucks, to the border and hang out. It's the beach at least.

Those so called trucks are gross. Just dumpster fires.

They're ugly as sin and don't really excel at being a truck. But as far as tech and safety/crash survivability they're near the top. Plus 0-60 in under at 2.6-4.1 seconds depending on trim. That's rocket sled level acceleration.

From what I’ve been told, they have the meats. But I trust no one. So it could be bs.

I prefer a rocket sled that doesn’t look like it’s out of “The Last Starfighter” plus musk is a tool.

Retired. Finally !!
Not sure if this belongs in the WITH or the TO category, but today I decided to play with my wife's Cricut machine (and 'purt near all the accessories). It's a machine that can damn near do everything. RTA graphics, temporary and permanent vinyl graphics/lettering, Ink press on T-shirts, bags, jackets, tumblers, mugs, etc.. If you can think it, this damn thing can make it. I have a roll of black matte permanent outdoor vinyl, now I have to come up with any silly junk I want to add to my Jeep. :LOL:

This morning while I sat on the back patio drinking coffee and watching the rain (one of my fav things to do), I thought I'd play with it. I decided to heat in-press a coffee mug. I picked out a semi-accurate Jeep Gladiator image for one side, Jeep Gladiator text on the other. After printing, the sheet comes out all one color, but razor-cut, you have to pick the sections out that you don't want. Some mighty tiny picking going on !! Everywhere that is white was a piece I had to pick out with a tool. The front door handle went who-knows-where and I missed one "star" (see the circle in the sky ? lol) The letter R in Gladiator apparently did not get full heat in the press (I had it laid too far right and close to the handle. The mug is white, no idea why it appears tinted in the pic.

First attempt, not too bad.

Ok. That’s cool. So you can do your own custom decals?
