    car detailing ?

    I am between Chemical Guys and Shine Supply, I have mixture of both in my detailing cabinet. I got turned onto Shine Supply, after the Denali was done by Kelly @ShineDetailing. I like the Ride Shine detailer.

    Performance Boat Candy Products

    I think they are all but defuncted. I found some product on Amazon to get me through the next season, but I think it was just scraps of whatever was left. I sent an email, to see if there would be any response, nothing. Probably switching to Hot Sauce after this last replenishment runs out.

    Cool traxxass RC Boat Video.

    TRAXXAS is offering this trailer soon. Both on the Spartan and M-41. I thought it was just a custom build when I watched the video. Traxxas caught on and built their own scale trailers, super cool. The boats look like they sit nicely without dragging the rudders. Real straps, optional winch...

    Traveling from San Diego to the river in the mid 1800's

    Super cool. Always wonder about this stuff driving these roads, how did people pick the line that trails followed. The vertical drop off on the 8, down into the valley is crazy even in a modern car.

    Awesome! Another Carpe Diem. What motor/drive does it have?

    'Carpe Diem' 1995 Hallett 240

    This was a CP Performance part. https://www.cpperformance.com/p-74416-sfw-fuelwater-level-senders.aspx You will need to know the depth of the tank at the pick up. We had to take everything out, measure, put it back together, and then place an order. Not too complicated just a pain. Only...

    Anybody Use Navage Sinus Cleaner?

    Bit the bullet and bought the NeilMed bottle. Last few days has been really helpful. Shit coming out of my nose with the rinse is unreal. Big relief. Less irritating then having pool water or lake water up there. Not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.

    Picking the ultimate family hauler

    This is another place I was getting stuck, looking at the used inventory. Trying to find a Suburban with the "Max Tow Package", on the 5.3L. The filters on the search engines were all over the place, and there are lots of inconsistencies with dealer ads. You have to really dig into each one...

    Picking the ultimate family hauler

    I went down a rabbit hole with these. It is such a cool conversion. The Suburban's with the HD Silverado fenders, hood and grill are sick. The donor + conversion was I want to say 60k+, which was more then my Denali. Lots of implications on California Registration too. I ran into dead ends...

    Picking the ultimate family hauler

    I found this in Phoenix in 2022. 2018 Denali Ultimate, 4x4, and a rare middle bench, I didn't want the captains chairs. The rear bench is folded almost 24/7 and I load it up like a truck bed. Dog included. I have had it packed to the gills, and not needed a roof rack or tailgate carrier yet...

    Is the RDP aging out, next generation coming up?

    We're are out there. The hustle is much harder, and more expensive to participate then it used to be. Cost of entry is much higher. 38years haven't missed a beat. Mom/Dad have a nice Hallett 240 in the Family Trust. I don't need to buy a boat right now. I just contribute when/where I can on...

    Time to go looking for the food, waste disposal, trash, cans, you tossed out earlier last year

    CR&R services Rancho Santa Margarita as well. My bins are inside my garage at the condo, so it already gets pretty 'ripe' with the trash, and baby diapers full of shit. No way I want to start composting inside my garage now too. 🤮 Been avoiding the "green waste" process as much as possible...
