We dropped the car insurance with USAA this past year because they got outrageous and went with Flo at Progressive.

While I was at the body shop there was another guy in there with a less than year old car. Progressive was apparently severely lowballing the front bumper work on his car. The service tech looked at me and said that Progressive was the worst to work with and often would require added time to repairs because if all the back and forth.

many 80s muscle cars were weak sauce

Now do the 70's.

For reference, the 1970 454 Corvette was lauded as a proper muscle car. It did 0-60 in 7 seconds. It had a 15 second 1/4 mile. Road & Track tested.

Today's Honda Civic Hybrid 4-door sedan, with zero performance credibility, does both faster. 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and a 14.8 second 1/4 mile.

That same Vette was epa rated at 9 MPG while the Civic gets 49 MPG.

A Civic Type R would absolutely maul the 454 Vette.

Technology and advancement in autos is astounding.

The white powdery stuff on your crepe myrtle leaves is almost certainly powdery mildew, a common fungal disease that affects crepe myrtles, especially in humid climates like Louisiana. You’re also recalling a traditional method used to manage fungal issues: applying a Bordeaux mixture or lime-sulfur paste to the trunk. Here’s a breakdown: ?

? Immediate Action: Treat the Powdery Mildew 1. Prune for Airflow • Trim crowded branches to increase air circulation and reduce humidity around leaves. 2. Apply a Fungicide Use a fungicide labeled for powdery mildew. Common effective ingredients: • Neem oil • Potassium bicarbonate • Sulfur-based sprays • Horticultural oils Apply in the early morning or late evening to avoid burning leaves. ?

?? What You Might Remember: Trunk Paste You’re likely thinking of a lime-sulfur paste or Bordeaux mixture (copper sulfate + lime), painted on the lower trunk to prevent fungal spores from overwintering and reinfecting the tree the following season. How to Make Bordeaux Mixture (Classic Recipe) (Use with caution — this is more preventative than curative and is used when the tree is dormant) Ingredients: • 1 gallon water • 4 tsp copper sulfate (bluestone) • 4 tsp hydrated lime (garden lime) Instructions:

1. Mix copper sulfate in ½ gallon of warm water.
2. Mix hydrated lime in another ½ gallon of water.
3. Combine the two mixtures, stirring constantly.
4. Apply with a brush to the lower 12–18 inches of trunk when the tree is dormant (late fall or early spring).
Note: Do not apply Bordeaux mix during active growing season—it can burn foliage. ?

?? Natural Alternative (for Leaves): A simple baking soda spray works well for mild infections: DIY Baking Soda Spray: • 1 tablespoon baking soda • ½ teaspoon dish soap (non-detergent) • 1 gallon water Spray every 7–10 days, especially after rain.

? ?? Long-Term Management • Choose powdery mildew-resistant varieties if planting new crepe myrtles. • Ensure good air circulation and full sun. • Avoid overwatering or fertilizing with high-nitrogen fertilizers (this encourages lush, mildew-prone growth).
