I swear you are singlehandedly keeping the gizmodo media group alive. The others just stir shit up and here you are rolling out a quality article.

We stuck an alcohol burning go-kart engine on a riding lawnmower in high school. It would keep up with traffic on the highway better than you would expect. The only downside was no brakes.

You have to watch it to the end.

I replace stuff when its bad. While I’m replacing the bad part, I replace any wear item that gets removed. If its a good part but has known issues, I’ll replace it if it gets removed as well.

Gas would be the way to go. A bit more expensive, but so nice.

This. I used to run 10 miles a day. Loved running. Some damage happened along the way, and I started getting growths in my shin. Ignore them until its hard to sleep at night because they hurt. Turns out my knee was leaking knee juice (?) down into my calf and causing cysts. I’ve had surgery twice to remove lumps that…

Does it have to be a manual in the conventional sense? I know the military has some transmissions in the AAVs that are manually shifted but do not require a clutch. In fact, they don’t need a shifter. They shift off electrical signals. We actually wired one to the dome lights in Iraq with comm wire so we could get…

Forgive me, I didn’t do the college experience, but could somebody explain to me the benefit of applying to that many schools? Surely she does not keep the 4.5 million. Is it just so she has plenty of options?

It was something about striking a pedestrian. Fought it, judge said I was in an automobile, so I had a greater responsibility.

Fuck cyclists. I got hit by one, and got ticketed for it. I had a green light, and he flew through a red light like it was not meant for him. Nailed the side of my truck. I used to slow down and give them as much room as possible when I passed them, but now they get half a lane if they are lucky, less if there is…

I’m glad to see this. I have an Ofna Z-10 or 3 that I break out every couple years and show the local kids what speed really is.

Likely story.

I’m late to the party, but that pegboard is galvanized, not stainless.

Depends. Working on the rat rod? Yes. Working on wifes car? No. Tearing an engine apart? Yes. Putting an engine together? No.

My grandfather grew up very poor. They saved and reused everything. He had a 55 gallon drum that he put a spigot in about 1/3 up from the bottom. He devised a gravity fed filter and had that fixed on top. When he changed his oil, it went in the top and mixed with the oil that was filling the drum. He reasoned that the…

Not an 18 wheeler. Like a Brinks truck but with schwans on the side. Flat windshield and everything.

I’ve never seen one parked. Only on the highway. If there is a distribution place close I’ll see if I can get a pictures without being buried alive in concrete.

I loved having an Expedition as a tow pig. Pulled great, rode great, and then we each had a bench seat to sleep on.

Or what probably happened...

Your parents defied the local drug trade.

Yup, still around.
