@dustyslay @historyrock_ What does "greatest guitarist" even mean anyway? Some on that list are innovators, but some just wrote catchy licks and anyone that has played for 10 yrs or more can play as well as they do. What did Keith Richards innovate? Clapton? These lists get me frustrated lol

@CuriosityonX I mean, Curiosity should've picked something a little more eye-catching like a lagoon or a mountain lake with the local flora and fauna or Matt Damon.

A lot of people ask about how Trans Am hood birds were installed at the plant.
Back in 2021 an interview was conducted of an ex-plant worker who had the job of installing hood birds at the Van Nuys plant, An article was written for Smoke Signals magazine.
The GM plants were cranking out 58 cars/hour at the peak of F-body production, so installers at each station had just about 58 seconds of actual working time to complete their task. When Van Nuys first started building Firebirds, decal installation was done as the cars were emerging from the paint curing ovens. Jon said the sheet metal was so hot they had to douse the car with three 5-gallon buckets of water just to be able to touch the surface. Even so, the water evaporated so quickly the decal immediately fused itself to the hood wherever it touched, so the defect rate was over 50%. They eventually moved the decal installation operation further down line just before the doghouse was installed.
Workers pulled a hood off the overhead conveyor, set it on a jig attached to a turntable that allowed them to spin the hood 360 degrees while using a squeegee to displace air and water trapped under the decal. Once the decal installation was complete, the hood was hung back on the conveyor hook (in the same spot) where it would remain in proper production sequence to be mated with the car for which it was intended. The photo shown here was taken at this stage.

@dustyslay @Mericamemed No one wants to just sit there and drink. That means you have a problem. Drinking with an activity is just being a guy.

@Mericamemed When you have to get hammered to do it then you probably don’t enjoy it

@TomMcFly10 @Keinnection Would you say they lost the shipment… in transit?

@Keinnection @pmtiegs Now the question is, what is the likelihood that a Ford Transit was hauling the front lower control arm for a Ford Transit?

@dustyslay @Ravenismeee We were too busy working to be bored. Farming, home upkeep, chores, car repairs kept us pretty busy. Yes those are things we did as early as 6 years old where I come from.

@Ravenismeee Sometimes we would cut ourselves with knives or start small fires
