Name that car
Compare the hump back trunk, shape and number of side windows, the location of head/marker lights and the contour of the wheel wells. In your pic, you can almost make out the gas cap cover on the rear passenger fender. I'm convinced it's an Olds F35.

Name that car
Double window is on the four door sedan. There is also a two door sedan, the F35 touring coupe.

The second picture is deceptive. The low resolution make it look like the grill curves more than it actually is, thus making the nose appear pointier.

My $$ is on a mid 30's Oldsmobile.

Solomon's Shooter Supply in Farmingdale, only a few minutes off 195 and less than ten from 18. If you want to see his website, google Howell Trap Club. It will have address and hours. It's a pretty lame site, one of those free hosts, but it has all the essential info.- Clinton WMA Pre-Election Shotgun Shoot - Sunday 11/1/20
It's probably a hike for you, but Gene Solomon always has clays, and the best price anywhere on 135ct White Flyer AA. The other problem, his hours. Wed & Fri 6:30-9ish Sun 1-4. If you do a lot of trap shooting or reloading, he is "the guy". People from all over the tri-state area go to his shop, it's that good. If you go, bring cash.- Better wear you ear plugs!!!!
So much gunpowder. One shell would give me a lifetime of reloads. I wonder what the burn rate is....- Daily humor thread

@Zeke is alive and well. Reports of him being handcuffed, blindfolded and gagged, having candle wax dripped on him are false. It's probably honey.- Steel Core at Outdoor Range
I'm not so sure of that. R14 offers day passes in lieu of annual membership. I don't know how that works on the reservation website though. I think you just set up your account on the MDL reservation site, reserve a lane, then pay the day pass fee, along with the lane fee ($25+$10 per person) when you get there.- Clinton WMA Pre-Election Shotgun Shoot - Sunday 11/1/20
Don't forget, DST ends Nov 1 at 0200.- brass cleaning
Is that the way some people do it? I guess that would get pretty tiresome. I use a wire scoop to dig out the brass, 95% of the media falls away, then I dump it into a strainer until it's full, and then shake out the rest of the media. That gets out 99%. Lastly, as I inspect each case, I tap out the last few bits that may remain. There are tumblers that look like BINGO ball cage, to shake out every last bit of media too. I don't mind tapping the cases as I inspect them before I toss them into the deprime/reloading bucket.- Clinton WMA Pre-Election Shotgun Shoot - Sunday 11/1/20
80% in. +1 bringing at least one 135ct case of clays.- I may be a dope but.........
There are a plethora of aftermarket grip makers. Just google XD-9 Grips and check out some options.- Ammo increase in price
I would not hesitate to use that for pistol ammo. Once you get it set up, and work out it's peculiarities, I bet it will serve you well.- Daily humor thread
- Anyone know a Lawn Sprinkler tech?
Lets say she drove up on the lawn and rolled four heads (it happens), that's like, maybe a $300 service call. If the ground was extremely soft, it's possible that the Tees or risers snapped, in which case each head will have to be dug out and the Tee + riser replaced. Not a major repair, add $20-$30/head. We need the rest of the story.- Ammo increase in price
BINGO! Ammo and components are never getting cheaper. Even when I was overpaying post Sandyhook, I think 48cpr was the most I paid for M855, I knew the price of M855 will eventually be more than that in "normal" times. 48cpr seems cheap right about now. The only regret I have is buying M855, that stuff is crap.- Ammo increase in price
Factoring time as cost for a hobby is a fools errand. That's like saying riding a bike cost a person $x.xx per hour.- So sick of it all.
Phrasing.- So sick of it all.
Blake..... Stop.... close your eyes..... breathe...... exhale....... It sucks, but it is what it is. There is no point in getting angry over something you have no control over. We are all in the same boat and feel the same pain. Be patient, have cash on hand, shop, watch for the "deals" and then pounce. You can find ammo, but you have to invest the time, and unfortunately, the extra money. If you see ammo in stock, BUY IT. When gasoline was $4.25/gal, you still bought gas, right? After this all blows over (god willing), chalk up the extra cost and time as a learning experience. For now, just suck it up, buy what you NEED and practice sparingly. The silver lining will be that you will become a much better shooter because ammo is too expensive to waste on mag dumps.- I may be a dope but.........
Way back in the 90's we used to have this thing called a telephone. We'd open up this other thing, an off line hard copy database called the Yeller Pages. I know it's old technology, but it could save you a lot of time. You will probably have to use the inerwebs to get phone numbers though. The problem though, you will have to talk to people and ask questions by voice, another fading skill. If you find yourself having trouble, just pretend the person on the other end is Siri or Alexa. - Clinton WMA Pre-Election Shotgun Shoot - Sunday 11/1/20
