So, hammertoes, here's somethin ya may not have known about...

The 1959 Corvette Scaglietti Italia. Carroll Shelby, along with fellow racers Jim Hall and Gary Laughlin, purchased three 1959 Corvettes, sent them to Italy and commissioned Italian design house Scaglietti to build streamlined. The hope was to convince GM to build the 'Ferrari Killer' cars. GM passed and Shelby later linked up with AC and Ford.
Quite the good looking cars...

Question...I saw a car on the freeway with a mattress on the roof. Are hookers doing Door Dash? Meals on Wheels? Anybody?

Looks like a Ferrari 250 with a lift kit and a Mustang fastback roof line, ugh.

Scaglietti built bodies for Ferrari, hence the similarities.

H1, do those industrial tires damage the grass? I've got turf tires on my little Kubota. Did the same switchover as you earlier this week. Enjoy the outdoors as you cut.

Ya Scotty..... I'm going to be turf tire shopping this week.... they friend I bought it from kept his turf tires to put on his newer JD and put these tire on mine. It will be for the acreage not the front and rear lawns for the house... I have a Toro mower for that duty.... these will work as dry as it is in the pasture but will need the turf tires to keep the weight distributed better.....

My 5205 JD has a cup holder but all that will fit in it is a 12 oz can. Pretty worthless as far as I'm concerned.

And all I have ever seen offered as potential replacements or add-ons are those which are held on by adhesive to a flat surface.
Kind of like the cupholders in a C6, not really well thought out.

A 16 would tip over and fall out. Besides, a cup holder isn't worth jack schmidt unless it will hold a 40.
