A vehicle where you can watch the fuel gauge drop like a reverse tach.

I love mine.

I have been saved by channel locks several times. They’re great.

Literally this. Shove the thing off the dock with a broomstick.

Roleen, Roleen, Roleen, Rooooleeeeeeen

I adore everything about this vehicle and what the team at McMurtry are doing with it. It makes my gubbins fizzy.

Rizzly dizzle me, aquatizally.

It is definitely the /r/blunderyears of cars. I’ll tell myself that this car existed so that the CT5 and CT6 Blackwings (RIP) could.

Not a hydrogen bomb, that’s a C4 bomb with hydrogen in the middle of it. Still, that’s wild.

*Arctic Surplus Salvage, not Arctic Surplus Surplus Salvage. I surplused too many times; apologies for the spurious surplusage.

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.
