Post a picture you took today

[Grog6]

I rode trial bikes, isdt racing; we did everything from long loops on fire roads, to river crossings on boulders, no feet touching, to mx supercross type sections. You should try 15 foot high jumps at 70,lol.

"Trials bike" or "Trail bike"?

 

[Grog6]

Trials; more the top one than the bottom. but still a mix of both.

This is the one I have now,slowly ordering rebuild parts.

Found another weird bird.

Aren't those similar to the wheels you tried to fit on yours?

Yes but those are factory AMG wheels. Mine were rotiforms.

Pretty close to the grill. I think it's a sign

I was getting ready to ask Chat GPT about these pictures, but wondered if anyone knows anything about this toy car. We found it at my uncle's place this summer.

That is an awesome find! Probably from the 1940's and in MINT condition! Please let us know what you find out about it.

I remember seeing one exactly like that in my great grandparents house on my father's side. Played with it once. Had an area for some batteries and would just scoot around the floor on its own randomly. It was neat

 

[Zep5.0]

Chat GPT found it's a post WWII Japanese tin car. Post war because it has "D" batteries. Pre war would have been wind up. It seemed to believe late 50's early sixties, which would have put my dad in his late teens. My uncle was 2 years older, so I'm not sure who's it was.

Part of me wants to try to take it apart and get it going, but I don't want to mess it up. Great conversation piece of nothing else.

 

[Grog6]

Usually what happens is old batteries rust them to bits.
Open the battery door and post a pic.
It's valuable if in good shape inside.

Congrats! Plenty of Garage space. You have your priorities straight.

You'll fill it up before you realize it. My garage is so full of stuff it's driving me crazy. I've got some serious spring cleaning to do to reclaim the space!

 

[CDsDontBurn]

My garage is so full of stuff it's driving me crazy.

But can you still walk in it without having to climb over stuff or move stuff out of the way?

**OCD intensifies**

 

[KevinVarnes]

Nice! The garage to living space ratio looks somewhat acceptable. What's all that green stuff around the house on the ground?

 

[CDsDontBurn]

**OCD intensifies**

At least you don't live with it!

It's certainly demotivating me to go in my garage for anything.

What's worse, is that a good chunk of this isn't even mine! Well, at least it wasn't until it was gifted to me about a month ago...

My wife's uncle is going through a divorce and to get rid of stuff he's like, "hey you want a couple tools?" I thought "sure, I could use a nail gun".

No.

He literally gave me HALF OF HIS GARAGE!!!!

I need to go down to Goodwill or something to get rid of stuff because I know I don't need a good chunk of this stuff myself.

 

[Jae 'Bird]

I got above average on my engineering mechanics class this term, it was a tough class, the midterm and final both had a 40% average which means the prof didn't do as good a job as he should have

 

[KevinVarnes]

A good professor can make a hard class easy and enjoyable. A bad professor can make an easy class impossible.

Holy crap! I just noticed, are those Bilstein Fronts laying on your engine? Where did you get those? They've been out of production for years.

What's the story on those?

Those indeed are the Bilstein fronts laying in my engine bay.

Story is, I'm doing the 3000GT Bilstein mod. I had them powder coated to match the Bilstein yellow! More info in my thread.

Won't be long till mine is like kinda like that.
