It's a guy thing

[bobcat]

Doesn't mean it's a thread for guys only. It's just a thread for things that guys are often interested in.
It can be tools, cars, boats, motorcycles and off-roading, sports, fishing and hunting, heavy machinery or equipment, engineering, woodworking and carpentry, backpacking and camping, survival skills, grilling techniques, hobbies, etc....

This is what happens when you put 10,000 HP in a small boat.
Drag racing on water (Insert Tim Allen grunt).
Over 270 mph in 3.4 seconds.

I've always been mechanically inclined and since retirement have spent some time rebuilding antique small engines, 1930's and 40's era. Searching for parts revealed an entire community of old guys doing the same thing, bringing old engines back to life.

Why you wonder? Because it's fun to start up a ninety year old engine and listen to it putt putt putt away. Most definantly a guy thing!

Still need the correct air intake but below is a 1939 Briggs & Stratton model Z I rebuilt. Wish I could attach the video just so you could hear the sound, it's a beautiful thing.

Is it a guy thing to like women's volleyball, whether it be on the court or on the sand?

I like 4WD trucks, football and classic cars. And sometimes when I am watching all the hens cluck at work and I'm sitting there with the guys rolling my eyes I often understand why men are the way they are around women. Can I be an honerary man? LOL!

I think the comments near the end of that video pretty much says it all.

What's your favorite way to unbind thickly painted-over screw heads (cabinet doors, etc), so the screws can be removed? Using a sharp chisel around (and into the slot of) the screw head can be tediously slow or nearly ineffective?

Heat gun, gel pain remover? Or...

A man and his home built man cave.

Still work in progress, but eventually it will have a lift so he can lower his car into his 'cave'.
