Not really practical to fully restore it, unfortunately. The cab and chassis could be cleaned up (it’s all just plate steel and beams), but there’s currently no way to reasonably re-mold the tires it used. There used to be a lot of related scrap (including other LeTourneau parts) at the Arctic Surplus Surplus Salvage…

I really love Calum’s videos, and it’s always nice to see the LeTourneaus getting attention. They were really interesting pieces of machinery. Also great that he made it up to AK; we have snacks and everything!

Purchase price and lack of heated garage in a cold climate, which will impact battery charge state and conditioning.

I want a mode that just makes Zoidberg “woop-woop-woop-woop!” noises.

It sounds pretty cheesy, but it’s also optional to activate on the Ioniq 5 N, so I can’t bother actually getting upset.

Suzuki X-90 therapeutically enacting sweet, sweet revenge.

That’s a lot to pay for somebody else’s project, but at the same time, it isn’t excessive for a 2013 Corvette with just under $50,000 miles.

The Environmental Protection Agency says Moody Food installed illegal equipment on diesel trucks.

They’ll probably just decline to pick it back up, quite frankly. I can imagine a timeline in which they pay you to dispose of the vehicle due to the liability of adding it back to their books.

You could likely make an case for the mechanical coupling aspect, but you’d still fail to meet the 9" clearance requirement. As Hammerhead mentions, lack of gearing would make it an academic argument regardless.

This is unrelated to the Crosstrek at the heart of the original Reddit post, but I’ve always been keen on the dual range boxes found in some Australian spec Subarus. Legitimately cool stuff.

That’s the crucial part about this, and why I can’t really find fault with what may at first blush seem to be overzealous enforcement. For every driver who knows their vehicle and is capable of taking it through difficult terrain in an intelligent manner, there are hundreds of people who won’t contribute the same…

As someone who owns both a Samurai and a Fiesta ST, this video speaks to me.

They’re frequent enough that they have an entire category known as “park outside” recalls. Kia, Chevrolet, RAM, Lincoln, Mazda, BMW... pretty much all manufacturers have issued one at some point. The vast majority are traditional ICE vehicles. Battery positive terminal vs hood is a pretty common one.

A minor difference in camber or toe-in adjustment can result in wildly different handling, too. Their Miata may have just needed a minor alignment. There are so many variables when it comes to vehicle compliance.

Is your Slack channel down

So awful. :(

I like to imagine that this car was gently placed all the way up there on that curb with a crane.
