Butt ugly doesn't come close to describing the front end of that truck. It's only slightly more aerodynamic than a barn door.
Speaking of aerodynamic, I have a couple projects to finish up before I put together the cool trailer to match my super sleek 10 second narrow body C6. Most of the parts have been gathered, so it'll be a Summertime project to haul tires, tools, etc to go racing in the Fall.
My current HF trailer is OK for trips to the local track, but wouldn't survive the 5K mile road trip to the East coast.
Made a new ball cover last week. The previous one was getting long in the tooth, turning gray, and hair was falling out.

I know that the hood on my Charger opens fully...………….. thinking that this one may have been only partially opened for the show, appears that the plastic piece in the front acting as a support, actually wraps around the front latch.

That weather is coming to Central MO today/tonight. It is to be 9° here Saturday morning. I will be going to the property to frost seed a half acre of chicory and alfalfa for deer food plots. Supposed to be a rain/snow mix on Sunday, which will be great for working the seed into good soil contact. I might also cut a few trees down as a start to reclaiming a half overgrown roughly 4 acre field.

Now I have a low profile race Jack that slides under my lowered C6, even with a hockey puck as a jacking pad. Made raising the car so much easier.

Ended up frost seeding just chicory. I got about 80% of the larger trees cut from 2.5 acres of field. I only dropped the trees so I will be going back to delimb and cut for firewood. It looks like a tornado went through the field right now. I will try to remember to get a picture before I start cleaning it up. Of course, maybe nobody is curious what it looks like.

Costco had them for 999.00 plus tax here, came in three boxes, and a few hours to set-up and be ready to run..............
although you can't stand up beneath them, unless you may be a dwarf or midget from the state of WA............. still better than constantly raising on jacks, and using stands to hold it up

A GS'er man was seated next to a blonde on an airplane.
Shortly after the take off, he turned to her and said, “Let’s talk. I’ve heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The blonde, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the man, “What would you like to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the man. “How about nuclear power?” he smiled.
“OK,” she said, “that could be an interesting topic, but let me ask you a question first: A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass – yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?”
The man, visibly surprised by the blonde’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
To which the blonde replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don’t know crap?”

So…….anyone have a good electric pressure washer?

I'm wondering a bit about that rear entry gun..... I know that I bought a pressure washer from a box store and it worked fine the first season then the pump gave up and I replaced that with a decent one for like 350 bucks....now the damn thing won't start and is getting no spark...... that was last fall. They seem to be high maintenance machines and I find I am tired of them. If the electric ones would work and the pump is good I would go that way instead of pouring money in to mine. Have you looked at Amazon to see what they offer?

I only had one of the small 1400 psi units. Didn't have enough juice to easily clean off aluminum or vinyl siding. Took forever to clean concrete, even with a turbo nozzle.
I recently bought a 3100 psi gas Simpson unit with a Honda motor that's not much bigger than the electric unit you pictured, and it cost less than the electric.
