• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

What’s something you’ve acquired in the last couple years that has improved your life?

Convertible late model Manual Sports Car...it’s not my daily but a third car that has basically become my therapy...some may say it’s a mid life crisis car, whatever maybe it is...but after a stressful day, going for a drive with the top down, rowing through the gears and hearing the engine sing is truly intoxicating...not mentioning make and model at risk of being accused of a humble brag (not my intention at all) , but any quality manual convertible sports car will work...
