    In my experience I agree with the time line. I usually see my first at my feeder end of March first of April. A couple of years ago I was running behind a bit, I looked outside to see one sitting on the feeder hanging pole looking into my back porch like BRO where's the food! 😆

    Very rare AWESOME Car but only wheels for sale on FBMP in Woodstock GA.
    (Don't like these wheels on this car)

    That is a big engine for the Camaro.
    ___________________________

    Reminds me of a car, one of my friends in Bremen GA drove. It was a 1966 Chevy II Nova SS that he ordered from Jones Motor Company (Chevy dealership).

    It was the car "to die for" when we all saw it. It had a big a** engine that had more horsepower than cubic inches. It could have been the 327/350hp/L79 engine, but I think it was larger.

    It was the age when insurance was nearly impossible for a young male in late teens who had a car with four-speed transmission. I found this likeness that is not a SS::

    The 66 Chevy II Nova was available with the 327/350hp as the biggest engine from the factory. I also had a good friend who had one. It was the 327/365 motor with a hydraulic cam instead of the 30/30 solid lifter cam. It had 11 to 1 pistons, 4 bolt mains, big valve heads and 780 dual feed Holly carburetor. They were quick for their time as they were light as far as weight. His had 4:11 rear end and he put a Crane cam in it with fender well Hooker headers. His was a black SS, it was a good looking car. He got a drag racing ticket in it the first night he was out in it after he got it.

    Hard to tell these days. The "executive" smoke pretty much mimicked a slight smell of da' skunk. At least it didn't permeate over a 1/4 mile swath in all directions.

    Have you been to Vegas lately? You cannot escape the smell anywhere on the strip or on Fremont…

    Well, it is legal there. A whiff of ganja doesn't bother me as much as 2nd hand cigar smoke, and I used to keep a stocked humidor. They taste great, but the smoke is disgusting.

    Awe, dang. So talking about smoke is okay....but the deleted post is not?

    Dang, man.

    Really?

    Even the explitives were omitted. Never mind. The moderation is a hit or miss. Strange, to say the least.

    How come all those folks that used to complain about second hand cigarette smoke aren't complaining about second hand dope smoke??? Breathing second hand smoke just like smoking anything is the same regardless.

    We are taking about outside, and it's usually just a whiff passing. Not quite the same as being stuck in a constant cloud of smoke. Most people who complained (and still do) are stuck in a closed vehicle, restaurant, house, office, etc. I'd certainly complain if someone lit up or vaped in a restaurant or on the train.

    I am sorry, Bill....but that's deflection. That isn't an answer to Jesse's question.

    I absolutely disagree. People would still complain if they had to sit in a room or closed vehicle with any type of smoke, be it from cannabis, tobacco, or cloves. Most never had an issue with people smoking outside and I think that's still the case. Most states that have legalized cannabis still have laws that are supposed to prevent smoking it in public places. Yes, I know there are probably lots who ignore that. Eventually they may get a ticket or whatever their law enforcement can do to discourage that behavior.
    Also, to make a fine point, you can smell that stuff without being exposed to any of the smoke. Terpines and other aromatics are not the same as the tar and nicotine laced smoke that used to fill bars and restaurants.

    ...but we are talking about smoking outside...

    Never mind. This is an issue that is useless on an audio forum. Y'all take over the conversation. In the meantime, I'll go out and enjoy a smoke.

    As much as I dislike pot smoke I'll take that 9 days a week over an older diesel (pre def) blowing exhaust in your face. I do not miss those days of old Cat rollers with side exhaust that seemed to be attached to me on hot days working between buildings.
    Truckers complain about the expense and hassle of def but working around diesels for 40 years I can attest it's the best thing that ever happened to them.
