Random DIY mixing and More

[Skeebo]

In 1985 my first car was a 1967 Camaro. Hold the oooohhs, ahhhsss, and applause though. It had a straight 6 for a motor, which had about 250,000 miles on it. Zero to thirty in a quarter mile.... My friends use to tease me by sticking their arms out the windows and making a swimming motion. According to them it helped acceleration.

I think my car was the first car in the world that made you wear seat belts. If you didn't you stood a chance of being thrown from the car while turning, because the doors would fly open. It had a cool navigational system too, way before it's time. You could always find your way back home by the bondo crumb trail it would leave behind.

I remember when my step father threatened to put it up on blocks because I came home late one night. I was so disappointed when he didn't follow through. I figured he had hopes of me falling out of it one day.

Has anyone here tried the Butter Pecan Pie flavor from Wonder Flavors? I saw it on BCF and thought since Pecan Pie is one of only 2 pies that I have ever liked, it might be good.

It's decent.. and not bad as a single flavor mix. I like to add an additional pecan to it to help though. I like to mix it with caramel butter WF and butter pecan FW.

I got it one order ago. I sft it at 7%. Just ok to me on the tank I tried. I’ll give it another go next empty.

I've tried it. I didn't care for it, but...that might've been because I'm not big on letting things steep. I tried it immediately, then the next day, and the 3rd day...and it still didn't "do anything" for me, so I quit trying it. I need to make some again though, but let it steep this time. I learned from making a recipe with TFA Banana Bread and 2 other flavorings, that steeping sometimes does make a huge difference. The taste of it totally changed for the better.

Those Fiat Spiders were neat cars, IMO. Also, much better for a younger person than a lady who was pregnant with twins.

I adored that car! It was grey with British tan leather interior and top. All of my parents, and himself hated me driving it so it was sadly short lived fun. I had a bit of a lead foot, so probably not the best for windy roads anyway. My godfather (he owned a dealership) “traded” it in on a Mazda glc, that for a 323, then a rx7 (father objected sadly), so I almost graduated college with a volkswagon sirocco. That dropped its alternator in the Wendys drive through graduation day, so he traded me a 626. I loved that and Himself drove it until it was old and decrepit. After that has been all vans/suvs of every sort imaginable.

It is a long steeper. I used it trying to get something close to the pecan notes in Don Juan Reserve... I never could get that dry pecan note though. I have tried about every pecan flavor their is, roasted pecans and cream wf was better, but I still can't get anything like DJR.

Just read a review... sounds good but very sweet. Doesn't seem to have any crust flavor so need to add something. Do you have OOO Pie crust?

My favorite vehicle was my 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX. It had 400+ hp, all wheel drive; just a very fun car to drive:

I like my truck a lot, it's a 2017 Toyota Tundra Crew Cab...

Hey, my 72 Satellite only had a straight six engine but it ran really good.

My motorcycle (OK... that doesn't count I guess) Don't laugh but I loved my 1973 Ford Pinto

Just checked and my stimulus check was mailed out Jan 6. I'll have to get my mother to drive me up to the mountains were my wife is... we both have to sign it ($600 each) Can't wait to finally order more flavors.

then a rx7 (father objected sadly)

No doubt...it was a really fun, sporty car for a younger person.

What was everyone’s favorite vehicle they ever had?

Well, I really liked/loved each vehicle I've had, for different reasons or because each reminds me of specific fond memories. But...I guess, since I've had the Bronco II for 33 years now...it must be my ultimate favorite.

However, if motorcycles counted...it might be my 1971 Honda Z50 Mini Trail that I still have. Trail and hill riding at Croom Florida, riding on Daytona Beach, etc. throughout my late teens and early 20's sure were some really fun times!

Thanks for the input everyone about the Pecan Pie. I think I might end up passing on it. I have a feeling it might end up being something that sounds much tastier than it actually is.

Or any speeding tickets I guess?

I would never laugh! I’ve had a lot of cars over the years, but the one I remember most fondly is a used conversion van my husband surprised me with for our 11th anniversary. I hated it IMMEDIATELY. It was 9+ feet tall, too wide for parking spots and got 8 mpg. He bought it from our mechanic from an estate of a gentleman in the produce business with “questionable associates” (along the lines of al capone types). It was maxed out with every gadget and luxury possible, down to the seats he had made by the Lear jet people. But it was a great vehicle for that time in our lives. It’s also the reason I got banned from our local Arby’s .

Too fun apparently for my own good

Meaning The Walking Dead? Or is there a show called The Dead that I need to know about?

Yes, The Walking Dead.
