Just your average Floridian doing Florida things, and car stuff.

I am looking for a stolen Florida license plate. I am assuming it's been long discarded after being used for whatever crime.

No questions asked, just shoot me a DM with a picture and I'll confirm it's mine with the registration so we can arrange returning it to me.

They have to go back.
All of them.

I have to disagree with Rick Scott, who says, “If you don’t like Mamdani, come move to Florida."

Absolutely not. Florida is full. Mamdani is your problem, not ours.

New York, I love you, but Florida is not a refugee camp.

FLORIDA GETTING HOTTER! 🥵 This weekend will feel like the hottest of the year so far as heat builds across the state. Peak heat index for some will reach 105°-110°, stay cool!

@Krysx7 Not for me.

After Wilma there were lingering wind gusts. I told my brother to get his longboard (skateboard) and handed him a bedsheet with one corner under his lead foot. The sailboard was born.

Pasadena Officer Shot by Fellow Officer During "Horseplay," Chief Says

PASADENA, Calif. — The Pasadena Police Department has released a Critical Incident Video concerning an officer-involved shooting that occurred on September 7, 2025, inside the department's parking structure at 240 Ramona Street in Pasadena. The incident resulted in injuries to one Pasadena police officer, who has since recovered.

Pasadena Police Chief Gene Harris said the incident involved "unsafe, out-of-policy horseplay involving loaded firearms" between department personnel. Chief Harris stated that one officer was wounded as a result of the shooting and emphasized that the conduct depicted in the video did not reflect the department's standards or expectations.

The injured officer was transported for medical treatment and has since recovered from the injuries sustained during the incident. Pasadena police have not publicly identified the officers involved, and no members of the public were injured.

The case remains under investigation and review by the Pasadena Police Department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

@FP_Superfan They can change where they live to be no income/property tax too. Nobody is stopping them. Their problem is entirely self inflicted.

[avgFloridian @AvgFloridian]

I've been saying this since before the Model S was on the road.
Tesla will become like a Denso, Bosch, Cummins, etc. for as long as the EV fad lasts. Maybe an occasional design house build like SVT, AMG, McLaren, Nismo, etc. Then they'll be used for hybrid parts.

[avgFloridian @AvgFloridian]

This was always the Tesla game plan, btw. They were never going to survive as a solely EV car manufacturer. Nobody does. They just needed to be disruptive enough, for long enough, to get other manufacturers to use Tesla for parts offered in parallel to gas/diesel cars.

Ford and Toyota have recently canceled most of their EV plans.

While the media sees it as retracting from EVs, in fact they have only canceled older, money-losing designs - while doubling down on TESLA’S unboxed manufacturing breakthrough.

But while they share the same technological blueprint, their survival strategies are radically different - One is transforming the mothership; the other is building an ark to let the old ship sink

[avgFloridian @AvgFloridian]

Still too large.
Still too expensive.
Also, no manual transmission and probably no frame rails.
Going to have all the 2017+ anti-privacy, anti-ownership nonsense.

I'll just hack up an old foxbody and make a Durango with my spare parts.

Ford's smaller all-electric pickup truck spotted testing on public roads for the first time. Ford says it will have a starting price of around $30,000 and launch in 2027.

It's definitely noticeably smaller than the F-150 Lightning. The bed is interesting.

@ChiefEngineerCE I had this problem at two schools. The first one heard the complaints, observed him the second semester, asked him to vacate the office for the remainder of his contract.
The second school had one American professor. Two others spoke English, but didn't care about teaching.

I've been saying this for years.
There are a few, very few, sunscreens that are okay to use. The vast majority are exponentially worse than using nothing at all, and the wash off immediately in water, causing pollution or filtration problems.

[Nicolas Hulscher, MPH @NicHulscher]

STUDY FINDS SUNSCREEN USE LINKED TO DRAMATICALLY HIGHER RISK OF MULTIPLE SKIN CANCERS

A UK Biobank analysis of 470,000+ people found sunscreen users faced significantly higher risk of:

- MELANOMA: +292%
- BASAL CELL CARCINOMA: +140%
- SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA: +126%

This is what happens when you slather rapidly absorbed hormone disrupting chemicals all over your body while blocking vitamin D — one of the body’s key defenses against cancer.

These dramatic cancer signals remained even after accounting for major skin cancer risk factors: age, sex, skin type, tanning ability, sunburn history, sunlamp use, and time spent outdoors.

I can go up to 4.4L, but I think the factory truck/van 4.2L is ideal. I'll have to see what cams and tuning cost.

When the rebuilt original stuff goes back in the car, it's definitely getting headers and exhaust. Other than that, the Mustang stays stock.

[avgFloridian @AvgFloridian]

The fate of my stable is sealed. Found someone parting out a V6 Mustang to build a V8 race car, so I'm grabbing the drivetrain and ECU. Picking up the rest tomorrow. I'll swap this stuff into the car so it's reliable, and then rebuild the originals. Then swap and mod the spares.

[avgFloridian @AvgFloridian]

Ideally these spares will go into a 1984 coupe, or theoretically this all bolts into a Factory Five Cobra Mark IV.

We have options here:
- Terminator Cobra Eaton M112 roots supercharger
- Above with ethanol conversion
- eBay Garrett T3/T4 twin turbo kit
- stroker builds
