I am with hpiguy.

As i am pretty strict with the people i surround myself with, there cant be many.
I will probably outlive my friend though he are just 1 year older than me, but he already died like 12 times, in a hour or so.
I do have my little sister and the respect of her 2 oldest kids, and i have told them pretty much what hpiguy write.
Plus if they want to do something really nice for me, please spread my ashes over international water. and that you can do on a 1 day booze trip on the ferry to Norway or Sweden.

And while i am a stone cold SOB, then there are a great many people that have died that i mourn in my own way, There are also some still living i have the utmost respect for, and whom when passing i find the world will be a lesser place due to that.
But i have never been to a funeral, i do hope the only times that will happen will be for my mother and my father.
Both of which are also the kind of people where with their passing the world will indeed be a little lesser place.
I am not going to say the same about myself, i will leave that to a few other people.
I know there are many 100 people i am sure that want to turn my fathers funeral to a spectacle if they had a say, but i am also sure he would not like that,,,,, really got to talk about this with him soon, cuz what he want i will give him.

When i was a teen people did become somewhat pissed on me not attending a guys funeral, but really he was never a friend and i had sort of already broken off with those people.
And the guy was just another guy i did a lot of booze and weed with on weekends, and who proceeded to stronger drugs which killed him in a OD a while later.
So why the hell should i attend a funeral for a guy i at the time had not seen in several years, and who was a fracking junkie.

O and the junkies death, well that turned another of the guys into a "almost" murder as he tried to shoot the guy that sold the OD in 2 pieces with a sawed off shotgun ( loaded with bird shot )
And in Jail he got signed up with Hells Angles, with whom he roll to this day as far as i know,,,,,,,,, i do not have dealings with people like that anymore, that sheet are past me.

Timing is everything

Got my 200 back from the body shop today after they got done with the crash repairs from 6 weeks ago and had them do a little other work while they are on it. The accident related work was a new fender and straightened door, then had them straighten a door ding from late 2015 and pain and install the new gas door I picked up from the dealership when they were done with the mechanical work (impact shattered the steering rack gears, and I tore up the clockspring before I realized that, plus it got new TRE's.

Here's the door and fender damage from the day of the wreck.

The door ding caused by a careless customer at local grocery store, then the woman just drove off with my sister sitting in my car, never saying a word to her

No pics that have the gas door in them, the hiunge was going bad and I had it replaced, then touchups in that part of the quarter and on the door ding. Here's how it looks now

Glad they took good care of you BJoe.

I was waiting for an #LSswap or supercharger for the 200.

Unfortunetly, only superchargers I can find for the 3.6l are the ones made for Wranglers and LX Cars, the 3.6l FWD's (both DCX and FCA eras) are all but ignored for specific performance goodies, especially forced induction. There are a few things like induction parts and exhaust system, suspension wise, it's relying on what pieces that will exchange with the SRT4 Caliber or maybe Journey sway bars

I did get the 2014 and Europe only BR2 front brake caliper brackets that will let me put what is essentially the same front brakes as the SRT4 Caliber on the car. That package also uses the rest of the SRT4-C brakes, but just the front brakes make a huge difference from what those have done the swap have said. These brakes will clear the factory 18" wheels for both the Avenger and 200 as well.

21,147 GMC DUKWs were built by GMC at Pontiac West Assembly and Chevrolet at St Louis Truck Assembly between 1942 and 1945. GMC and well known yacht designers Sparkman & Stephens collaborated on its' development. It was conceived, engineered and entered production in record time. This amphibious vehicle was based on a GMC CCKW military truck that was already in production. DUKWs have been used by military and civilian groups all over the world for decades. Britain's Royal Marines had several DUKWs in active service until 2012. An original DUKW is included in GM's Collection.

^^A good charger setup, and parallel charging boards was one of the best RC investments I ever made.

Same here

hpiguy · 03-26-2019, 03:37 PM

Fire because of the visibly damaged packs on the left (which could be just the covering and purely cosmetic), or the amount of packs being charged? It's on a tile floor, and parallel charging is no more dangerous that regular charging if done properly.

Jeckler · 03-26-2019, 04:51 PM

Fire due to NONE of the balance leads being plugged in. Not sure why he/she (lets's be honest, probably he) even bothered plugging in the balance lead of the para-board itself.

hpiguy · 03-26-2019, 05:29 PM

Ah, didn't even look for that.
