Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

The truth is though, everything is scarier on the water. Accidents being high up there with all the other nopes.

100 mph on my motorcycle, calm and collected. 80-100 on the little river jet boat I was on.... insanity. And anything above a calm trolling speed on a bass boat and its like my ass tried to eat my underpants. Not so bad now, but as a younger kid for sure. Big ass outboards and that boat feels like its at 11:50 and about to flip. Gotta get to them fish fast!

75+ in my ranger miss big time

I wonder if I could find your "module" and connect it to my car directly or with some mods. Got any pictures of it?

 

 

As far as I know if you can find a separate module which has the auto function, go for it. I want one too. On the Golf the buttons for all windows had 4 positions (2 up, 2 down), with 2 of them being auto.

I bet they are empty.  That truck would be on it's tires if there was lead and brass in there.

If they are .50bmg it would be about 118 grams a round so......2300-2400 kilos?

Don't know if that math is right, but I agree with Ryan, if that were full that truck wouldn't be able to move.

I just guessed at a weight based on how many boxes it looked like. Looked up the weight of military balln ammunition

Eh our .50 cal cans are bigger. These would be for 5.56 (.223) rounds.

Anyone ever read Born To Run? It was a really interesting book.

What was really interesting to me was that we actually were able to develop our brains (with protein of course) when we were without "weapons". I'm trying to summarize a long chapter but we have some very odd evolutionary traits that categorizes us as a "running" animal (such as our Achilles' tendon and a special characteristic in out necks). That being so, we captured our first meat by actually running animals down over a period of time until the animal literally collapsed with exhaustion. This allowed us a steady meat supply as well as larger brains and therefore all the developments we now know. I find it odd as most people say that our bodies were not made for running marathons but that is, in fact, exactly what they are made for.
