The planets have gravity. Make sure to check how high before you try to land. The ground comes at you pretty fast.

I actually racked up my first few hundred hours on a gtx 580. This game is incredibly well optimized. Just remember that its a sim, so don’t expect to have everything right away. You can do quite a bit from the beginning, but if you start grinding hard for an anaconda you may get burnt out.

The learning curve is like being kicked off a cliff and learning to fly before you hit the bottom. Its a lot of fun, though, and the community is one of the best I’ve ever seen.

I tore apart a truck at the scrapyard that was late a 70's chevy. The odd bit was the drivetrain. It had a 454, TH475 trans, and a posi rear end. We think it was something a dealer ordered or something odd, because it also had a boring brown exterior, brown interior, bench seat, and zero other options. It was the…

No love for the AAV?

I love those trailers and their 40 independently steered tires.

I’m not gonna lie, I’d straight up go to sleep if I had autopilot in my truck. I live out in the sticks and have an hour drive at 4am a few days a week. Usually I don’t mind it, but some mornings I’d love to have another hour of sleep.

I remember doing this in high school with an old car hood and 6 or so people. Cop at the conoco told us to not go too fast because there is pavement underneath the snow. Granted, we were in a small town and not in a bigger city loaded with traffic.

It was a Ford problem, not just the Expeditions. The early design only had a couple threads holding the plug in, and after a couple years of hot/cold cycles they would blow out. Fords solution? 2 piece plugs that are known for snapping off in the heads when you try to remove them.

I know. I was just tired of dealing with it. My wife reminded me about the window regulator I replaced on it, too. Managed to get a broken hand and 6 stitches fixing that problem. It locked up halfway down and I had to remove it under pressure. It fell in a way I was not expecting and caught the regulator across the…

Bought a used Ford Expedition for a tow pig. Wife was tired of riding to the drag strip in my work truck with no AC, non-adjustable seats, one speaker and stiff suspension. I bought it from a buddy of mine, he racked up a lot of miles on it when he first owned it, but it was mostly highway miles and had a good…

I drive an old 70's Ford. Faded red, bit of surface rust in random places all over, but nothing rusting through so the body is remarkably solid. It has the ford twin traction beam front suspension, which is not good for anything at all besides being sturdy and overbuilt. One morning I smeared a deer all over the…

Too bad this guy does not negotiate. I just want a clean body I can drop a drivetrain in and drag race. I’m not paying those prices for a shell.

Did this a few years ago.

Well, now you have me curious if leather would work as a gasket. Which gasket? I’m pretty sure leather would work for most gaskets, but I doubt the head gaskets would hold up. They sell fire rings for the cummins, but I wonder how many sizes I could order fire rings in. Would it have to be an AMC 360? I don’t know how…

That’s exactly the answer I’d give my family. They would accept it because the alternative is them getting involved in whatever project I’m currently ignoring.

I don’t think his weight has anything to do with his job.

I’ve taken quarters from a couple, but I didn’t even look at the rest. I’ve also hauled off the whole carcass just for the rack. DNR does not like when you cut the rack and leave the rest.

My dad once got into a heated argument over a struck deer. My mom hit it on her way home one night, and called my dad. Before he…

There is not a whole lot of meat on the head compared with the rest of the deer, bud. I’ll gladly forgo the maybe 1lb on the head for the 60+ from the rest of the body.
