    So I bought a hovercraft.

    Came up on facebook marketplace. So a friend and I bought it.

    $2,100 dollars for a device with no real use, is pretty expensive, but an absolute steal of a deal for a whole new personality.



    Needs some cosmetic fiberglass work, and a little rework on the skirts, but it does float and run. blast to drive. has the upgraded cuyuga 430 35hp 2 stroke engine, that runs well.

    Fellas, if you google it, make sure you put SCAT in front of Hovercraft, otherwise the algorithm pulls substantially different results.

          Living the childs daydream of being an adult with a hovercraft. You should be proud man. Share the memories is all I can suggest.

          I feel this way every time I see a 40/50 era bulldozer show up on marketplace. I have no use for it but it’s cool.

            as you guys know, im a bit of a philosopher when it comes to machines.

            and this one drives like the future we were promised. its not nostalgic. its not looking backwards. its an old machine thats looking forwards. its enjoying an alternate past's future. its somehow delivers on the promise we were made in the 1990s, the end of history. a pre-9/11 past where none of that happened. an alternate pasts future where we won bloodless middle eastern wars in 72 hours, with the help the rest of the world. like some kind of norman rockwell painting, but with all the neon and chrome and *eXtreme* we were promised in the 90s. Its a brilliant machine, fueled by powerful rich and clean 1980's Miami cocaine (pre mix!), the letter X being used eXcesseivly, and using dayglow yellow, orange, and green in high fashion. the most tiny of sunglasses. its a machine that can only be built by someone crazy enough to live in a world where things don't need purpose or practicality. and doing things not because it can be done, but because its Xtreme to do it. but also long before such mentality was corrupted by influencer culture. like, you watched this in the 5 minutes of adds on the front of a VHS of dinoriders, not what the algorithm feeds you while scrolling.

            it doesn't make me feel like a kid. it makes me feel like an adult who grew up in the utopia i was promised. we fixed the hole in the ozone layer AND climate change. with our powers combined: captain fucking planet. and blow, lotsa blow, but like, in a good way.

            I love it.

                Beautifully put. Born 2000 here. I never knew a word before 9/11. The 5 minutes of ads if front of a SNL- Best of Chris Farley tape, or whatever it was I was watching of my parents collection. Was a glimpse into a world, that feels alien to mine. Remember everyone glazing this hippie chick, at the phish NYE lot awhile back. Not because she was hot(she is), or smart(she avoided the ghetto malaria from what I can tell XD), or feeling really great on a mix of non fent laced drugs(I'm still holding hope that one day, I will come across some old hippie, with some Owsley acid stashed in his freezer)! But because shes enjoying life, and able to hold a conversation without making you want to gouge your eardrums out. Everyone used to laugh at Heavy Metal Parking Lot. But At least Zebra Man had a social life, had good memories with friends, learned from true life experiences and mistakes, grasped life as it came at him. Unlike Ipad/smartphone/brainwashing device addicted kids you see at restaurants and parks today.

                Worlds Going to Hell In A Bucket, And I'm not enjoying the ride. The slop and lies being delivered, are just to revolting to stomach anymore. At least when you old guys where kids. Black Sabbath tickets were a couple bucks, Carson was the king of the Jew tube(ban me, im jokin!), and you could walk through your neighborhoods wooded backyards, with your elementary age friends, 22 rifles slung on your backs, looking for anything worthwhile to shoot at. As long as you didn't cause any trouble, and were back in time for dinner.

                Our forefathers lived real lives, good and bad, like the sitcom intro told you. They did not live fake, meaningless, aimless, directionless, faithless, without spiritual connection, without social cohesion, without brotherhood clubs and lodges, without bars and taverns, without street/town/city festivals that meant something, etc lives! they lived as were supposed to! The lack of that in society today. Is worse than any smut, or music, or tv/movie, put out to poison the mind and soul of the youth, all put together.

                When Kids grow up being taught that they are just an drain on the planet. Another mouth to feed, just a carbon another carbon footprint. That we aren't brothers and sister in this together. That we are evil and selfish and cruel by nature. That we can't get along and create incredible and beautiful art, architecture, literature, philosophy, music, medicine, etc. Then they give up. And those in power do this on purpose.Why, because they want us to kill ourselves. So they can roll in the big guns, and turn them against us (for our own good you see)! So they can get fatter off of our flesh! And take what ever they want for themselves. These are old blood lines, forget race or ethnicity.

                These people follow the OLD RELIGION (as these satanic freaks call it), from when Sumer was the place in control. And these freaks just see you as cattle, as batteries, as sacrifices, as playtoys, as means to their end. An end that only those raised/initiated in their "club" are allowed to know. But they still need your land, blood, cum, holes, everything. And you need to be scared and in pain beyond your comprehension, when they extract the "Golden Elixir" as told in Sumer times. (Again, what these sick and twisted fucks believe, not me) Fuck Baal, and the hundreds of false demon gods like it, in every mystery cult/school, secret society, THE GRAYS, whatever 4chan post you believe is telling the truth.!

                Take care of the ones you care about. Prepare for the next few years and decade to be very hot. And that it's by design, to funnel you in like lambs to slaughter. So Re watch the doomsday preppers, buy some old surviving off the land books. Get prepared for WHAT IS COMING! Maybe knock on the door of a nearby militia/commune, If they are worth joining, after a solid vetting process! And remember when its you and the ones you love up against the wall/horde/TheState/whatever it maybe be one day, that comes to do you harm. Will you Stand ready as Paulie Walnuts did on the stern of the Stugots, or cower and dial and wait for "ThE aUtHoRiTiEs"! XD

                Lone Wolfing is way too lonely. We need human connection. Whether caged in a prison/camp, in a bog/swamp, desert, holler ,whatever. We need connection back in society at a local level. Everyone mocks china for someone dying in the street, and everyone walks by. Did you also hate watching Irena Zarutska bleed to death on a fuckin train car floor, with people watching and filming for the GRAM. That's all of america in a few years. If we don't learn to look at one another as fellow team players!

                Instead of us fellow prisoners of the system, feuding and killing each other over bullshit. Use our strength in numbers and shared beliefs and values, to tare down the walls of our prison. So our grandchildren can run free and shackleless. In a better world than we had.

                CHECK OUT THE DERP WITH KURP ON YOUTUBE! Hosted By the comedian Kurt Metzger (great on Opie and Anthony, if Patrice O'Neal gives you props and says your funny, YOUR FUNNY XD)! episode 24 and then 29. start with 24. It will be hard to digest. But it will help you understand and prepare for whats coming! God Bless You All!

                  my only advice to your generation is find your community. and your community wont look like you, it will feel like you. us born in the 1980s folks got to live through the peak of civilization, you guys were barely walking for it. that has to have an profound impact on your understanding of the world. and now we are just speed running the end of the empire. an intelligent and skilled civilization would have taken 1000 years for our empire to fall, but, we are going to speed run it in less than 20 years.



                  one reassuring thing about this world, is that both times the jack booted thugs came down my street, we met em, and we won. sometimes the most unlikely people to be in your corner, you havnt even met yet. they are your neighbors. they are always your neighbors. get to know your neighbors. this doesnt mean its not going to suck, and your are going to see and do things you never thought possible. but we did win both times. and we plan to win when it happens again. the world never goes backwards, always look forwards.

                  there is also no coincidence i bought this the spring after the worst winter of our lives.
