The first dragster Don Garlits built had a Buick straight 8, outdated by 1953 but they were good engines. And the Dynaflows were also well built. Buicks with Dynaflows were gas hogs, that was the main drawback. We got a 2006 Ford Freestyle with the CVT. 160k miles, the trans is good but it’s got a bad sensor. Damn electronics!

Hard to believe a two speed automatic could perform as well as those old powerglides.

Powerglides are two speed automatics.

Yes that is what I was saying.

Maybe could have stated it better.

Why didn’t the cop shoot the knife out of his hand?

Because he didn't want to hit any Powerglides?

I've seen some "thread-drift" in my time!

In law enforcement training they have a subject come at you with a rubber knife from across a large room. It’s amazing how quickly that rubber knife is in your ribs.

They ran a Teuller drill in the last qualification course I shot, a number of police cadets and spouses also taking the course and having a real need to impress on them that an attacker with a knife need not be within arms reach to be a deadly threat.

Imagine the guy with the rubber knife's surprise when I didn't draw my weapon as he closed, so he came in for his kill, whereupon I had both knives out of my pockets and open, one in each hand, and went after him, hard and fast, screaming AYO GHOKHALI! And my knives were not rubber ones.

The class instructor hit his whistle before I made any actual cuts, and kind of wryly observed, Well, there's a technique I've never seen before....

Its just that the Bang threads do tend to bring out some doozies at times.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

I assume another angry envious little sht.

Everytime I go buy usual stuff or quality stuff in a black neighborhood, I always have a fracking black female cashier tell me what am I going to do with it etc.

These people have deep envy issues. Very bad atmosphere

It was a tiny bit ambiguous , but I think the blame was more on my shoulders. I guess I wanted to read it wrong. Reading it now, it makes total sense.
