Maybe the victim wants to put it behind him. I vote to leave it closed and keep the fun on this thread and there is one more thread about Sunkin. Where is the one about the Normandy spikes? I can't find it. Such obvious bs but everyone really thought Sunkin was a high roller. What a pathetic loser. I'd rather fess up to owning a Bayliner (which I don't) then to lie about owning Apaches and yachts .....

I found it. Page 7, post #69 of this thread. Has pics of his house too showing no boats, swimming pool or place for hidden spikes to penetrate children's feet:

One flick of the wrist to the right and a stab at the gas pedal would give you 300 feet of fishtailing fun.
What I did was this- I planted a thick growing ground cover over there. Before I did, I went down to my shop and cut eight pieces of 10" I-beam each 4 feet long. They are buried at a 30 degree angle back with about 9" sticking up. The ground cover has well grown over it. If I weed-whacked the pachysandra, it would look like the tank traps on the beaches of Normandy.
I have no problem locating the culprits now. I just walk out whenever I see the flashing yellow lights of the wrecker trying to pull their impaled Civics and Mitsubishis off one of my "welcome party". It doesn't even loosen the I-beams. Pretty much everyone has gotten the message that the biggest prick in the county lives on the corner house with the white fence. I'm a hero to my neighbors, though.
Thick growing ground cover? I beams?
Yes......I just don't see that "Normandy-style" I-beams either. According to Wiki HERE, the ground covering "pachysandra" grows only in the Southeast of the US. Where is Ohio?
Maybe it's another fabricated story? Although I would agree with Chris Sunkin's statement that "biggest prick in the county lives on the corner house with the white fence."

Maybe being the world renowned but not popularized botanist that he is ,cross bred the pachysandra with a native frost proof plant from the north
Do not doubt Mr Sunkin , he is all knowing.

Chris Sunkin,AUTHOR
In the last year or so, I have spoken with more than a few shop owners about the marine engine market. At the onset of each discussion, I noticed three specific responses, the first being an enthusiastic interest. These owners recognize that this can be a lucrative market segment and are interested in how to get into or become more active in it.
The second group has already been enjoying the fruits of their labors in this segment.
The third…well, their responses are usually a cross between seeing a ghost and discovering their identity has just been stolen. These reactions are typically born out of either having no idea where to begin, or from having an initial bad experience that left them feeing burnt. That’s unfortunate, as these shop owners are missing out on one of the most profitable niches in the engine building world.
For those unfamiliar with marine engines, there is a common misconception that these are highly unique devices. This simply isn’t the case. If you can rebuild an automobile engine, you can rebuild a marine engine. If you can build a solid, reliable drag or circle track engine, you can build, or rebuild, a marine performance engine. The key to success is understanding the subtle differences and being able to recognize the pitfalls.
