Wow, those are badass.

You can tell by the drives that they aren't messing around.  Any idea what is powering them?

Believe those boats are  CCA Mk.1 and are powered by twin diesels.  Top speed around 60 mph.   The tow vehicles are pretty awesome as well.

Nice, too bad they didn't drop them from a C-17, that would be cool to watch.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach the man to fish and he wakes you up at 5 in the morning.

There was apparently a C8 Z06 at my college today.

I don't think they even noticed they hit the stay.   They're also half-blocking the driveway, nobody parks there. 
 Do people drink and go to church?

My first car I bought off a guy in his 90's. You could see he'd been 'parking by feel' for a while, every corner of that car was dented. Eventually he gave up his keys

Gruff old Finn who'd fought in for Finland in WW2:

Was at a friend's shop yesterday and he was working on this, needed a starter but it was wrapped in headers and couldn't get it out.

Now every time I see a Mopar I think, "Bubba would appreciate this".
