Hey Kiwi !

I watch this guys channel to learn a bit about the Chinese culture .

yeah, but, but it's no worse than the flu. Yeah, bc China quarantines nearly 800m people each flu season. Overnight Italy registered a death and has locked down 10 towns. Watch the South Korean numbers as they will be slightly more reliable than China's. Even in the US people who know are gearing up for a big hit.
And it's not even just the disease that kills. There's the resulting dysfunction from a breakdown in supply lines, more poverty as people can't work, overwhelmed hospital/medical resources, etc. Alternative figures for the current hit in China show a massive drop in domestic demand/activity. Coupled with that are some scary increases in food prices as the supply chains break down. I can't put my mouse on it but like I was saying a few posts back about how their debt fuelled expansionary policies were already starting to spin wheels before covid-19, they recently pumped a record creation of credit - about $700b or so in one month, and it did SFA to the local M2. They are screwed so far beyond what they are telling the world it's not even funny any more. Sadly, people won't appreciate how bad it is until it washes ashore near them. They'll rock up to the pharmacy for their prescription only to be hit with massive increases (if they can get the drugs at all) because China aint supplying enough anymore. Already happening in India.
 
Hey @carwashguy , My uncle @MustangMike has a step son that had a nice Acura, had a 1.8 that was FAR from stock. Crazy kid had it shipped from Japan. I’m not an import guy so I don’t know 100% of the specifics except for, it sure was a fun car. I always liked your s2000’s, thought they were very innovative, the sodium filled valves. I grew up loving the Ford v-8’s but in the last 15 years I’m all LS CHEVY

That’s awesome! Don’t get any better :)

Well new firewood tool came in the mail today 9BFB9285-9C08-4E2E-9D52-BD25C2A6B246.jpeg Love this thing! Sure is handy. Perfect length for picking splits off the ground without bending over. Works great for pulling rounds out of the pickup or trailer too. Nice and light. Sure like this forum, have gained a lot of knowledge from here for making firewood easier and more enjoyable, and found some good friends too.

Put an LS6 in the s2k and put the f20c in a first gen miata. Now you have 2 great roadsters.

motor, I’m 38 now gonna be 39 too soon (April) this is going back to when we were 19-20 years old. That thing snapped axles all the time. He first bought crazy expensive ones but they didn’t last any longer than the cheap ones. So he bought some Autozone ones with the lifetime warranty ;)
