Sink both of them off shore so they can be artificial reefs. If done correctly its great for the environment

What does . mean? Is this yet another Kinja failure?

Previous post deleted, I answered my own question.

Judges get away with it because they have no oversight or repercussions for their actions. Same as police. Sonoma County is known for being extremely liberal, but the police and judges here are no better than anywhere else. They are just as racist, just as ready to shoot as they are in any hick town in the…

One they left a parking in front of hydrant ticket on my car. The car was 200ft from the closest hydrant, was on gated private property 75 ft from the gate, and was on a lift with its engine out and no tires. I took pictures and tried to fight it. Judge refused to even glance at the pics. Literally would not look…

I’m not sure that’s the case in all US jurisdictions, but I know in Canada it is. If you get in your car to “sleep it off” or something, never get in the driver’s side. Ever.

A cop happened to be passing by and the bumpin’ music caught his attention. The cop stopped and found the guy in the driver’s seat with a beer in his hand. He was then arrested for DUI (“intent” since he was in the driver’s seat with the key in the ignition). No sympathy from the judge, with multiple witnesses…

My wife and I were looking for a new hatchback car for her in early 2010. We attended the Cleveland Auto Show in late February and narrowed down our choices to a 2010 Vibe, a Honda Fit, and some other vehicle now forgotten. I knew the Vibe was essentially a Toyota and also remember some other brand sleazeball…

It seems to depend on how “seized” it is. On my friend’s car the caliper piston clamped the pads extremely hard on the rotor and I could not force the piston back in with a large C-clamp. I agree you might as well replace the flex line along with the caliper.

A long, long time ago a friend was driving a new ‘77 Malibu sedan his well-meaning parents had bought him as a college graduation present. This was shortly before graduation and one of the front disc calipers locked up. I had tools, a floor jack, and one of my dad’s big-ass C-clamps to try to force the caliper…

Another guy works at a GM dealer. The blown-engine-filled-with-fresh oil is not uncommon.

He says that NINETY percent of the lease returns from NY are absolutely beat to sh*t. People lease $80-100k cars, park them on the street, and just ignore them.

Getting a warm shower there was pretty easy because you could just set the water bags outside at your campsite and let the sun do all of the work...

I asked her when was her last oil change and she said “the guy that leased it to me said all I had to do was put gas in it and drive”.. She had driven that Jetta around for three years on the same oil or lack there of.

A pop up shower tent for privacy, a collapsible bucket and a portable electric shower head for showering

I was the 4th owner (knew the 2nd and 3rd) of a ‘79 Camaro Berlinetta 350-4bbl, 4-speed stick, posi (same color as your photo). It was my DD from about ‘96 to ‘04. Rusty old bastard but relatively reliable. Nice car for its era, but I parted it out after the master brake cylinder failed and all of the hard lines were…

I had a green over tan ‘78 Pontiac Sunbird hatch from ‘78-’04 similar to the pictured Monza hatchback. 231 Buick V6 2-bbl, four speed Saginaw trans. I swapped in a Hurst shifter, posi rear carrier out of a Monza GT, Trans Am steering wheel, and powder-coated Vega GT wheels with white-letter Goodyear GT radials…

Yep, 1953 Studebaker - the cleanest, most “modern-looking” of the USA 1950's designs. The worst was the more and more chrome excesses ca. 1958-59. The “horsepower wars”, while entertaining, were still constrained by the lousy brakes, tires, and suspensions of the era.

Having lived through it the worst was the Malaise Era, not only ‘73-’83 per the linked article, but starting in the 1971 MY with the industry-wide drop in compression ratios to accommodate low- and upcoming no-lead gasoline (absolutely necessary for catalytic converters), and corresponding lower HP. You had…

This is a great comment. I have personally replaced every motor start capacitor at least once in my array of three Genie garage door openers over the last 30 years. Maybe two or three years ago I could hear that my Trane central A/C tried to start but would not. I called my local HVAC service company and their…
