Amusing/Ridiculous Muzzleloading Misconceptions...

What does she have to do with ML misconceptions?

Not a damn thing. Just that the thread has drifted into trucks as symbols o machismo

I’m a bit late with this but we own two 2006 Prius cars both bought new.. I’m 6 feet tall weigh 230. Plenty of room for me, my wife and two large dogs (one 50 pounds the other 75) plenty of luggage space too. We drive the hound out of them and they give little trouble. All that an 50 MPG, what’s not to like.

Someone started a comment about men having to show their masculinity with trucks....never did understand that. We buy and build what we like, has nothing to do with masculinity!

Why not start a separate thread then!!

Whats wrong with a Prius?

Objectively, nothing, but on a purely subjective note, the Prius is one of the most uncomfortable cars I have ever driven. Had one as a loaner a few years ago while my Saturn was in the shop, and after 3 days I took it back and told them I would rather walk.

Okay, go ask your Wife and Preacher if you go to church and maybe they can help you.

My church is the great wilderness.....my ears are not sensitive.....If I don't like what I'm reading, I pass it over....you know-free speech?

Badazz, knife wielding, fire and brimstone shooting, outdoors livin' mountain men driving a Prius is a somewhat amusing picture if you ask me.
Then again, I enjoy driving my wife's Mazda CX5 so what do I know?

wm (skirting profanity but just barely)

After retirement I started working part time at The Mannheim Auto Auction here. It is the world's largest auto auction, both in size (5 square miles of asphalt) and in volume. As you likely know, new cars and used cars are scarce right now. Couple of years ago 26,000 cars on the property was not unusual. Right now it's more like 13,000 . I've been there 15 years +/- because I made good friends and have a lot of fun. I can safely claim to have driven pretty much anything in current production and a lot that are not. Including antiques, customs, CDL trucks, pretty much anything you can imagine. Jacked up pickups? We keep ladders handy because there are some you would not believe. I could drive the dune buggy I built years ago under some of them.
Driving the Prius was and is boring. But the pure electric cars would shock you. (Pun accidental). Put the pedal to the metal in my first all electric- A Kia?!?!?!? The acceleration surprised the hell out of me and damn near gave me whiplash. Neck hurt for two days after. Pure electric race cars are the wave of the future. Bet a paycheck there are already people working on how to goose or soup up pure EV's.

I don't how scarce they are because every used & new car lot is filled that I see.

Around here? Lots of naked asphalt in car lots. Although the used lots on the outskirts that offer "Instant Credit" and "Pay Here" have cars. Whether you or I would want one.....Well.

There are soooo many misconceptions about muzzleloaders. The biggest right now continue to be formented by gun mags and some “gun nuts.” You need a black plastic or camp gizmo gun to take a Bambi. Real black powder is extremely dangerous and dirty. It shouldn’t be used by anyone without a explosive certification.

Hopefully we are now back on muzzleloaders.

Looks like it's time for someone to close this thing - the original topic disappeared awhile back.

On this forum, I have never been on one thread where the train doesn't leave the track.

That's like a sausage stuffing machine. I'm 165 lbs., 5'11" and that thing is like sitting in a tuna can, pure hell getting in and out. That's a really funny tall tale you tell though.

I don't think soooooo. Does it really matter.....it is actually very interesting.

In ALL of your history of being a member of this forum? Since way back in of May of '21?

Almost all of the threads I have seen in my short time on this forum stay on topic. Otherwise, it's known as hijacking a thread, which lead to posts getting deleted by a moderator - especially when the post had zero to do with the forum category, such as non-muzzleloading posts about vehicles in a General Muzzleloading forum.

Am I upset? Hardly. It's just being fair/polite to an OP who starts a thread about a muzzleloading topic and for some silly reason expects answers that at least have some relationship to the original question.

Like I said, "you can't fix stupid", on both her, hubby, and store clerk part!

When my daughter was an ER nurse she used to say, "We can't FIX stupid, but we sure as hell can sedate it!"
