Anyone know what day it is?

Why did they cut off the end!!!????

Happy Friday from Surf City.
Think I'll post up a contest like I used to do. Been too long. Time to have some fun.

 

[SPOOLFOOL2]

Just posted it up. Happy Friday.

Thread 'Spoolfool contest for a set of bumper fillers. Time to have some fun.'

Dec 13, 2024

Time to give away a set a bumper fillers.
All in the name of having fun. Or, at least, who has the most entertaining story about breaking something or carnage on their Turbo Buick.
Post up your story here. Include a picture(s) and, or video if possible. Were not necessarily looking for the most carnage. Just the most entertaining reason why you wish you would have stayed in bed that day. Most entertaining story will receive a full set of Spoolfool Bumper fillers. See link posted below for rear bumper filler options. (there's a new style). Post up as many offerings to the gods of speed...

This song came out just about the time the first Intercooled GN's were being built....

Happy Friday from Surf City.

Happy Friday!

It's a rainy day in Phoenix, doesn't happen often. Made me think of this song. Best version EVER.

 

[SPOOLFOOL2]

Happy Friday from Surf City. All the rain has moved out. We sent it all to Guy in Arizona.

Ah, my teens....

Here's a disturbing scenario to ponder as you sip your 3rd beverage on this glorious Friday.. a few 20 year olds are hanging out together, 1 of em says hey I'm leaving earth for awhile on a wizz bang space craft traveling at close to speed of light thru space, be back in a few years.. when he returns he meets back up with those same friends & they're 65 years old.. he's only 25 WTF?? If u can explain this like I'm 4 years old, please do.

This is based in Einstein's theory of special relativity. It has also been observed experimentally with regard to particle physics and is even used by GPS to provide accurate location calculations.

Simply stated, as your velocity increases, the time you experience is slower than the proper time if you were at rest and not moving.
At every day velocities the effect is virtually immeasurable. As you approach the speed of light, your time slows. You have to be very near the speed of light to get a significant effect.
The other piece of this is that the speed of light is constant everywhere.
The equation below is a solution to the effect. t0 is the proper time and t is the moving observer time, or in this case the kid in the space ship.
c is the speed of light and v is your velocity. You can see if v = 0, then t = t0. As v increases, the denominator gets smaller which shows that t begins to get slower (time interval is longer) than t0.

Waaayyy to difficult. The other 4 year olds never understood what I was doing when I took a big hit.

I had a similar experience. I drove my Turbo Buick like I stole it for 25 years and now I'm old.
How can I go back?

Time to pop open a beer and ponder this (or something else).

Happy Friday.

HEY! You woulda benefited from a few tours of space travel duty there Charlie Boy

Let's face it you were old as soon as you started looking at a "buick"

Gonna start calling you Dale, my mensa buddy.. I mean that's all good and crazy shit but even though you were slowing down time, you were doing it for 45 years after all said and done.. thats what gives me a popsicle headache
