So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?

Peter I have the 2013 Genesis Coupe Track 3.8 that I got with just 10k miles on it for $20k which was a good deal at the time but it's been nothing but headaches and the dealers are awful at finding the problems and actually fixing them without tearing up my car even while it was within warranty so what good does warranty do when dealer can't or isn't willing to find or fix the problems. Only car I've ever had with so many quirks and a engine that ceased at just 110k miles to be replaced with a used engine despite taking better care of my cars than anyone I know.

Their quality just isn't where it needs to be yet despite advertising as luxury cars with only 36k mile warranties which is why many Coupe owners on a forum I'm in have said they'll never buy a Hyundai again. Can't say I disagree with them after blowing $9k around a month ago on a used replacement engine with 50k miles on it, labor, parts and rental car for a month. All for a Hyundai that's only 6yrs old. Thank God I was smart enough to at least get the car at a good used price instead of blowing $35k on it brand new. Wish I could have blown that $9k on a vacation, plus now I found the replacement engine burns 3/4qt of oil every 1,000 miles and has high metal wear #s showing up in the UOA along with hair like metal slivers found in the oil filter housing when I changed the oil. Not a good omen for the future.

These Coupes are fun cars when they respond to driver inputs but a lot of the time it acts like an disobedient kid refusing to do what you're trying to get it to do be it electronics, engine, transmission or brakes and when the engine goes into limp mode dropping 95% power just over a o2 sensor that can get you ran over by other drivers. They decided to put the v8 engine in the 4 door but not the sports coupe which is ridiculous. Shame because there was such potential that was just not reached where they really missed the mark with the car.

Kris, You probably know this already, but for others.
 More injuries happen in articulating booms when they are in the down position (like your pic) and just moving from point A to point B , than when raised.
 When the wheels go over a bump, that basket is like a catapult!

That is the one of the reasons you wear a harness, I have seen so many people rent equipment and don't have a clue about safely operating equipment and wearing the proper ppe(personal protection equipment). Every piece of rental equipment will have the operators manual stored in plain sight.

Hmmmm, nothing great.  Worked a half day, came home and ran a chimney brush through the wood stove chimney so as not to have a  HOUSE FIRE,  er, um, checked the GTA forums......which I guess is airgun related and disqualifies me?

LOL,
M out

Whoa Matt, your user name and Avatar...
I have been wanting to Land Luge since I learned it was invented... But right now it's more like I'll be running Skeleton again this year on the local Toboggan track on my old runner sled.

The cold snap certainly makes "landmine removal" easier... except where our Boston Terrier goes in the gravel 
  Small dogs eat less and make smaller poops, for sure.  I have a buddy with 2 greyhound rescue dogs, a weimeraner , and a Staffordshire terrier (that thinks it's a lapcat/greyhound mix).  His backyard can be terrifying if he misses a couple days.


I did nothing airgun related yesterday; I did wrap up The Expanse on Amazon Prime- no doubt in my mind it is the best Science Fiction series ever produced.

Perused Jalopnik and a few other blogs per usual.  Oh, and I know a lot of you could care less, but for me and SWMBO- we're excited about news from Hyundai: it appears the new Hyundai pickup will be made in Bill's backyard.  380 databases don't lie: Hyundai is building some darn good vehicles.

I'll be looking forward to see how it stacks up.  Certainly fills a niche of a true utility vehicle.  I don't need another full pick-up, but I do cart around bags of concrete, fencing, lumber and such periodically.  Hyundai has been at the head of the auto-design pack for a few years, so I'm wondering if this will be a niche vehicle like the El Camino/Ranchero, Subaru Brat and Baja (and Rabbit pick-up) were- or if this is going to pick up a lot of momentum.

Well, like I said in PM. If you're looking for a uni-bodied front wheel drive with a face that looks like it was a bad Camaro transplant, a 2.5l engine to haul your YETI cooler and boogie or skate board around then the Santa Cruz may just be for you. I just don't see any advantage to a 'truck' that would try to separate itself in the middle while trying to pull a greasy string out of a cat's butt.

These are my pickups

Seeing as Chevy decided that they messed up with the El Caminos and made the second and third gens in the S10 package, body on frame with a divorced bed. I really do consider my 99 s10 to be a coupe with a divorced long bed, it is not a truck to me at least.

Elks were a Chevelle / Malibu car with a bed, S-10 were Mini trucks.
Other that the '63 Fords F100 I can not think of a "Truck" that was a unibody.
So all Pick-ups would be "a coupe with a divorced long (or short) bed"... right?

i bought my 03 S10 base truck new and to this day it runs, drives, rides and looks like it is brand new. 140k, and well kept. it has never had to do any work,
i have 2 diesel trucks for work and the woods 

[Insanity]

LOL no its my joke that the S10 isnt a truck but a car with a bed. I slide in the Elc as a joke because it was originally target to family women in their late 20s early 30s. To more so degrade it in a joking manner. I have had two full size trucks so this lill guy is getting the job done but its just oh so cute lol.

I bought my 99 s10 last year from my stepdad it really is a great ride and it was super clean until i spun out on a slick road and took out a sign post...

[Hoosier Daddy]

LOL... My '86 S-10 had a 2.5 "Iron Duke" and a 5 spd manual trans.... Hauled WAY (double) more than it's GVW many times. 
treated it like a TRUCK... or maybe a TRACTOR.
took a licking and kept on ticking, traded it in with 250K on the odo.

That’s great!

I bought my Tacoma new in 2000.  It has 298,000+ on it.  Still going strong and I have beat it pretty good over the years.  Not so much the body (it shows some time).  I had 1800 pounds in it once!  No suspension only tires that looked like they were ready to POP!  I travelled 4 miles like that looking at the sky as I piloted that ship home, praying the whole time that it would make it there.  Needless to say, I’ll lever do that again.

I got the 3.4L V6 encroaching 170k and as long as it scoots my 4th point of contact to work and back with the occasional use of the bed say for my dirtbike or wood etc I won't be getting rid of it. I just like to rip on it as all the guys I work with have full size trucks.

mine has the 2.2L sewing machine in it, and the best part about it is...it has a timing chain

I got all my gear together for early tomorrow to go deer hunting.  Opening day and I'll probably take a nap in my blind as usual.  30 minutes from home will put me in the woods.

Anyhow, the Santa Cruz is not a pickup truck. It's a small SUV with the back seat and the rear half of the roof chopped off. I prefer my SUV with a fold down rear seat and a fully enclosed rear. I prefer my truck on a frame, rear or 4x4 drive and a bed that can haul 1/2 ton and above. I also want to tow with it.
At least the Elks had a frame and rear wheel drive and I'm pretty sure none of them were powered by Singer.

I had a 1969 El Camino but it had been made into 1/4 mile car by the previous owner. It had M50 rear tires and would do wheelies when something didn't break. I just used it as a driver and cruiser and to show off from time to time, LOL. It really was about worthless as it could be as a pickup because with very little weight it squatted too much, but the one I had was a cool CAR! I sold it at a time when in CA I could not register it for street use anymore legally because of new smog laws at the time.

I had a 66 Ranchero with a 289 double hump, 4 gear and posi.... that was fun until the frame rusted in half.

Correction.... it was a 65.
