No question where I’m living now. Haven’t delt with a tornado warning in 6 years. This is normal life Growing up in Alabama.

Side note. My wife is super happy with my camping habits now. Generator is going back fed through one circuit To power tv and lights. Kids just think were camping inside.

I'm sure you've heard this, or will hear it. be careful back feeding the panel, it can have the potential to send juice out through the meter to the grid.

My FIL was a lineman for years. As someone who cares, please kill the main breaker before backfeeding. Otherwise some poor bastard can take a hit.

Yup. Agreed. That’s is why it should only be done with the circuit off. I always flip the breaker off of the circuit I’m putting juice through.

Where is this?

 

[uzj100]

Road Scholars on Page Road, near where page road and 70 intersect, there is a car wash right beside it. Small brick building. Every time I visit the place is empty. Open weekdays 9 to 5. Seen cars I never thought I would see in my entire lifetime.

Or an actual address - baha -

1704 Page Rd Ext, Durham, NC 27703

 

[GLTHFJ60]

I had no idea!

 

[uzj100]

Yes sir. Saw this one time in their shop. They restore Porsche's for Porsche.

I saw a daily driver 959 there one time. Some CEO in Morrisville.

unrelated, that is literally down the street from where I used to live.....I saw that place the last time I was back that way......

 

[GLTHFJ60]

I wish I knew about this a month ago when my buddy with the 911 was in town! Holy crap!!

That was when they did cars and coffee. That is no longer done there. The showroom is still open daily. Here is the experience. Walk in to a showroom full of very expensive Porsche's (all unlocked and open) and no one is in there. A tech comes in from the shop and asks if you need any assistance, you say NO, and look all you want. They also have free water and coffee and a sitting area with books.

So Road Scholars was started in conjuction with the Ingram collection in Durham. Bob Ingram had one of, if not the best, Porsche collectons in the world. 1 of 1s and 1 of 3s.....and he had the best, lowest mileage example of the 3. He had the first Carrera GT imported to the US. The collection was mind blowing. Road Scholars is owned by his son. His collection was sitting right in downtown Durham.

Bob's collection was the one that got blown up in Downtown Durham. I was there about a year before the blast, 40 or so cars on display...918 sitting right up front. It will make you cry to think about it. Cars and memoribilia that litterally cannot be replaced, no matter how much money you have. Some will be rebuilt though, but can't replace the ones that were still dirty from racing 50 years ago.

Owner of rare car collection damaged in Durham explosion: ‘We treasure those memories’

On the sixth month anniversary of the explosion in downtown Durham that killed two people, injured over two dozen others and left a trail of rubble in the city, the owner of The Ingram Collection of high-end, collectible cars is speaking out about his prized possessions.,

Someone will ruin that.

That is basically how Banks performance was back in the day. You could go in and walk through all their vehicles. The record setting TT trans am was there. The record holding 6bt drag truck was there the record holding Dmax road race truck, etc..... then when I went back to LA for a visit I dropped by and it was completely different. Some F-tard must have done something stupid.

Haven’t tried it. I am thinking only use on the beach or to the house at Hatteras.

I recently switched over to winter air in my tires, and the ride is too harsh. I'm not going back to summer air until springtime. In the meantime:

Is anyone familiar with an air blend, or perhaps some other element, that when compressed and used in tires 1) will adequately support the weight of the vehicle and 2) provide a more cushy ride? I mean, there's gotta be a softer compressed gas that'll work.

I was going to use some liquid, but I'm hesitant to drill out my valve stems.

TIA.
