They'd be fun to wear as a joke to a cowboy match SD
NO, they wouldn't.

You seem to leave comments on quite a few of the YouTube videos that I post.
Let me rephrase that: I don't initiate anything on You Tube, but I will respond to some items.

JDWIW, I bought two 7mm Remington Mag rifles at the same time from a PX in California, the Rem 700 BDL and a Weatherby Vanguard. I put identical scopes and mounts, slings and padded zipper sleeves for both.
I took them to Camp Pendleton to shoot. because our little range at Seal Beach just wasn't suitable.
Identical factory ammo for both.
The 700 was dead on accurate to three hundred yards (Back when I could shoot at something that far away and hit it.
The much vaunted and highly recommended Vanguard wouldn't hit a box car at much over fifty yards.
As I was cleaning up and getting ready to leave a Marine walked over and asked if he could handle the Vanguard (After all, kit was a Weatherby.) I ended up "reluctantly" selling it to him, whole kit and kaboodle, for $30.00 more than I had in it.

There's a LOT of good content on YouTube Forty. A lot of it is nonsense, but there is some funny stuff there as well as educational stuff. I've learned a lot about working on my vehicles there, there's a lot of political stuff that makes me think that the WHOLE country hasn't gone nuts. And there's a lot of hilarity there too. You want some really crazy stuff? Search for Sovereign Citizen traffic stops. These people are just plain NUTS. Gun stuff, knife stuff, take a look. You might be surprised.
Still not sold. I've gotten by without these computerized sources of aggravation for 84 years. I don't need them now.

Years ago I shot a short video of some simple activity on the farm. I flaged it unlisted so only people I sent the link could see it. After being up many years, I got a notice that this video's content is in violation of community standards. I had simply titled it "XXX". The video contained nothing lude or explicate. I renamed it and problem solved.
I had another video flagged as hate speech because I used the words "shooting Josey Wales". I revised it somehow to take the hateful words out.
Why do you bother?

I've never seen that show. Is it worth my time?

You got it wrong....I'm not THAT old!
You don't have to be old to be a dirty old man. I've seen three years olds trying to look up skirts, peeking in doors and copping a feel.

Yes. Are you asking because you think it was wrong but we should have done it anyway? If it's wrong it's wrong, and it stays wrong even if it's easier and even if bean counters say it's better. People do wrong things all the time, and so do countries, and then we live with it and go from there. All I'm saying is I prefer to make decisions based on judging the means instead of just achieving the end at any cost.
Sometimes something needs doing even if it seems wrong. If it cures a problem, especially a problem that endangers others anywhere just do it. We have let too many of these international criminals get by (sort of like so very many of our homegrown criminals), without intervention or punishment.
I can live with doing something wrong if something much, much wronger is stopped.

That was well handled.
We have some great cops here. They are part of the community and try to treat people very understandingly.
I've met a few dozen of the locals and am friends with four or five.
Them and our local fire /EMT / ambulance folks....as good as any I've known in my travels.

He pulled a young lady over for erratical driving. She pulled over and stopped on a slight uphill spot, but her car kept rolling slowly backward. She kept stopping, shifting gears and rolling. He said she looked scared to death and was crying. Her car finally bumped very lightly into his cruiser and stopped. He walked up and said for her to shut the engine off. She did and he had her get out of the car.
Long story short, she was driving her boyfriend's car to the store while he was getting supper ready. She was just going to get desert and wasn't familiar with his car, a four speed manual transmission. She was being really careful, but wandering around very slowly trying to get the car stopped, but couldn't find find out how to put it in park. She was shifting gears alright and got it into neutral, but just wasn't familiar with a stick shift.
He got her calmed down and showed her what she was doing wrong, then followed her a couple of blocks home.
She never did get the desert.
He said he was fighting hysterical laughter, but really felt sorry for her because she was really doing her best.

Why flip it?
All that glass will turn the interior of the car into a greenhouse. If you flip it, the glass will be on the bottom and the body of the car will be up top towards the Sun.
I'm confused.
All that glass was great for seeing what was going on around you. I'd love to have that good a view from my Impala. I've been in buttoned up M-60 tanks that were easier to see out of than that Chevy.

The only Porsche I ever doubted was a 904 (?) coupe that was a total loss after its flywheel blew up and the car went off the road, flipped end to end at least once, and ended up in "pint-sized" pieces. The driver was taken to the hospital but released four or five hours later.
I saw a few others that should have been worse, but those tough little cars were mighty hard to destroy. I never owned one and never drove one, but they were right popular in the mid to late '60s...mostly 911 variants.

Awards events for anything entertainment profession I can think of are "WOW! Look at all the people who voted for me. I'm so wonderful" nonsense. That includes things like Miss America and such frippery.
I used to watch them so that I would know what NOT to watch. Now everything is so worthless that I don't even care.

No, I'm not forgetting how bad Maduro is or what he's done. No I'm not forgetting what happened to the oil companies. Yes I know people are celebrating in the streets because they're glad he's gone and they're not thinking beyond that. Yes I know what was going on was bad for us and bad for Venezuelans and something needed to be done, I'm just not pretending it's ok to try and fix these problems with the worst idea we could come up with. Why wait until we're trying to deal with the problems this will cause just because we've done it so many times before? Just remember the end doesn't justify the means, never has and never will. If you do the wrong thing for the right reasons, you're still doing the wrong thing.
Really? Remember WWII?

I'd like to see them all out on a large table together with good lighting. Then I'd like to see you get them all running at the same time (might need some help with that from a some well trained assistants) and get video of the whole kit and kaboodle...maybe with a leggy lady to point out the features one by one as you narrate it.
Hell, I'd even pay for a video of that gala affair.
Every one you have shown us so far has unique features, and they are all works of mechanical art.

I can tell you what turns me off is that the entire site is noisy, way too loud, jerky, over hyper-active, difficult to watch, inappropriate music (?) infested crap that I don't want to watch, won't support, and cannot tolerate in my life. Nice try, guys, but I won't be back to your program and it certainly turns me off on your new sponsor, Tango Down, who is guilty of ALL OF MY COMPLAINTS!
Get real, boys and girls: All of this over enthusiastic garbage is a major turn off to a lot of us. Take a survey and I think you'll find that a lot of your potential audience will simply walk away and you'll never know it, much less why they are gone or never showed up.
