I’m posing a poem

“Would you consider moving to Paris and being my model?” Said the poverty stricken American artist circa 1830
With nothing but what could be carried

“Would you drink red wine in goblets that we tucked in pockets,
Stolen on a drunken dare?”
“Would you recline on a chaise, and pose?”

The city is busy and the artist watches them watch you
A classic beauty that elevates disparity
As the artist records with coal

The struggle bears fruit
As the Artist absorbs, through eyes and mind
“I will share you with the world” said the poverty stricken American artist

There is a small tuner company in Sealy, Texas. They are making high performance monsters. What is that company? It is Hennessey Performance.

They take somewhat ordinary cars, and make them into souped up monsters, Some of the highlights include the 650R, Venom GT, VelociRaptor and the Exorcist.

The latest creation is the Goliath, which is based on a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss Z71. They have made it into a 6X6, and stuffed a 705 horsepower animal into the front.

The engine starts out as the factory 6.2L V8 engine, and it is then upgraded with the Hennessey’s HPE700 Supercharged engine upgrade which includes a 2.9L supercharger system producing 7 psi of boost along with a stainless steel exhaust upgrade producing 705 bhp @ 6,200 rpm and 675 lb-ft torque @ 4,200 rpm. 0-60 mph times are expected to be in the mid 4 second range even with the additional weight of the 6X6 conversion. Additional GOLIATH 6X6 upgrades include:

6X6 Conversion with additional axle, wheels, tires and brakes
All new rear suspension system
Eight-inch lift kit
Custom 6X6 truck bed
Hennessey 20-inch wheels
BFG 37-inch off-road tires
GOLIATH 6X6 & HENNESSEY graphics
Rollbar upgrade
LED lights
Hennessey front and rear bumpers
3 year / 36,000 mile warranty

And the price for all this madness? $375.000. They will only make 24 of them, though.

I think that Texans are the most insane people in the world.

they walked together
hand in hand
over a rocky trail
stopping at a lookout point
they tugged at each other
looking at each other and then
the landscape
"i'm going this way" she said
"i'm going that way" he said
fingers released and found pockets
"don't forget to write"

News in Texas where someone accidentally locked their keys in the car with a baby inside.
A group of guys are pounding on the WINDSHIELD, then sending a woman in to pull the baby through the smashed windshield.

What's wrong with this scenario?
Windshields are made from laminated glass to resist smashing.
One smack to the driver or passenger window shatters it into a few hundred pieces where they can safely reach inside, UNLOCK the door and get the baby out!

never heard of it until i worked with 20 somethings. now i can identify salesmen by hair and shoes. lol
my little brothers

I am a huge, huge, HUGE car nut, so I devour any sort of car related videos and tv shows. The biggest one was Top Gear, when Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were the hosts. I loved watching the stupid challenges, the car reviews and the epic journeys. I was super bummed out, when Top Gear ended in 2015.

When it was revealed that they went to Amazon to make a new car show, I immediately subscribed to Amazon Prime, in order to be able to see it.

The first season was amazing! Full of fun shenanigans, cringey bits and amazing cars. The opening scene was the best thing ever! I loved every episode, and I was hoping they would release a season 2, which they did.

That was even better, and it was clear that the show would only be bigger.

Now we are six days away from season 3. It premiers on the 18th of January, and I am so going to see every episode!

I hope they will include some truly spectacular cars!

You remind me of what I’m trying to forget
Though genuine care f*ck over my imagination
I toss my mane and squeal

On darkest of nights, the Illuminati of all pretenses
Bury your head into my chest, allow me to inhale the scent of the wild

I’m learning all about people and sales. I went on a joyride In the backseat of a SS Camaro, unfortunately. The youngsters simply wanted to play with a toy. Since my associate was of a large size, I was nominated to chaperone. After pulling my pencil skirt up, I squeezed into the back seat. Windows down, Blonde hair flying, I crossed my chest as if I was Catholic. The driver manipulated the stick in a manner that didn’t sound good. I am inexperienced in the sound of a manual transmission but my gut was telling me, things could sound better. The youthful driver gunned that machine and then almost kissed the freaking bumper of the car in front. I said many “Jesus Christ’s “ but they could not be heard over the revving. The second passenger, of the same youth went on about the V8. This rang a bell and I asked if they had seen Mad Max. With my best Australian accent I shouted “the last of the V8’s!” Good old Ducky.

I wonder if Ken has one of those...
If not - I wonder how long it'll be 'til Ken has one of those!
