I bet if Elon Musk cologne was a thing, it smell like....weed.

Didn't realize it was tequila until I read your captions. It looked like a trendy and expensive bottle of cologne or perfume. For that matter, the name Elon Musk sounds like a brand of men's cologne in and of itself.

Tequila anyone? How about a Tesla Tequila? Too bad, sold out in Hours as Tesla CEO Musk made good on his April Fools joke in 2018 and offered for $250 a bottle a Tesla Tequila. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/11/06/tesla-tequila-sold-out/

Seems that Formula E has continued to gain watching fans and they have decided to invest in Extreme E racing. Looks pretty cool to me. https://chargedevs.com/newswire/formula-e-makes-strategic-investment-in-extreme-e-off-road-racing-series/ Now this ICE custom build project is just ugly to me. But there seems to be people willing to order it up. Ram Trucks has a new customer in the form of Aznom Palladium SUV. A custom built auto. They took the V8, slapped two turbos on it and tuned it for 710 hp / 700 lb-ft of torque. The SUV weights 6,000 lbs. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictures/ram-pickup-aznom-palladium/ https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/ugliest-car-a-ram-pickup/

Also in line is fabricating a 'bullet' housing for the tach. There's a pic I think on page 3 of basically how it'll look, but I don't want the back of it & it's wires exposed. So I have a spare pair of rotted headlight bullets for my COE, and tho they're much larger in diameter, I'll pay around and see if I can make a 'bullet cup'. The blue Solo cup covers most of the tach when mounted, so you can see the size disparity I'm looking at.

I have a vintage tissue dispenser, came out of my grandfather's '57 Star Chief. So I want to incorporate it into the B-59, despite the small center emblem saying 'PONTIAC'. They have a chrome face, mount under the dash and pivot outward, & the tissues pop out the top, like this : But I want to convert it to hide the aftermarket engine gauges, so I can hide them when I want a pick-up street race . So the work in progress so far is; I detached the face plate, have some small hinges, and I fabricated an aluminum plate I will drill for the 3 gauges. I wanted to add some detail, so I did this :

its a premeditated attempt to suck you into believing you don't have -individual- rights, and have no right to your own point of view...Much less act in your own interest. But the nation is founded on emphasizing the right of the individual within the bounds of not infringing in the rights of others. That's why every bullying attempt at forcibly enacting certain things is to sell it as a 'right', and that you are infringing. It's all certain groups have in most arguments but we are played emotionally to believe our 'life/soul/very existence' depends on it. No, --their-- pocketbook depends on it is usually more the case. Cooperating globally is a great concept but we should not bullied into thinking we as a fairly well to do country should be punished and extorted into giving up all sorts of taxes, fines and moneys to global organizations in the interest of 'cooperation' and rights. Until we understand that the nation was founded on the individual, the being bullied into being involved into every social and political issue will continue. The answer is no, people are allowed to care to varying levels about a myriad of issues.

Not trying to be self serving here, but I hope the Quebecois, and all of Canada, control it and get over it so that I and others who want to visit can get to Quebec and Canada again. I am not there yet. Even before this became a big deal, I have washed my hands a lot and always used hand sanitizer wherever it was offered at the entries of places of business. However, it is more difficult than people think to keep one's hands away from their faces. It's reflexive. I'm sorry to hear that ... wicked sick, as in flu-like symptoms magnified ... or other/additional symptoms that were also very hard on them?

One more funny for Today... We are pushing 5000 cases of Covid a day in Ohio, I have largely stopped going out to eat and going places for the time being. I now know a bunch of people who ahve gotten it, and gotten wicked sick.

Do you mean the 'religion' that some people have about Government?

I really want a Challenger w/ a V8 and a manual... and it would be a 2nd car, so gas mileage isn't an issue.
