Before I scrolled down to the pic, I expected to see the skeleton of a syphilitic donkey.  

I hear that. I finally sprung for an angle grinder because I’d heard how versatile they are and was surprised that they weren’t too expensive (~$60 for a Makita 4"). I was lucky a few years back when I helped a recent widow in my neighborhood move out of her rental and received a bunch of her husband’s tools in…

Do you mean “stripped” as in rounded off? Or the threads are stripped? If the bolt is out, but the threads are stripped, you can repair that with a tap and die kit borrowed from an auto parts store or some other methods that David Tracy discussed in his mini cooper article. If the bolt is rounded off, you can…

This comment would be more effective if you changed “hauling” to “haulin’”

A coworker DID get one of those $35k model 3s, but as you may know, the people that paid $35k still got did not get the base model.  It did not make economic sense for Tesla to produce the different gear for the relatively few base models, so they just honored that price, but gave them leather interior, self-driving,…

Yes, my dad had a ‘95 5-spd and it was such a lemon. It was in pristine shape cosmetically, but still had to be basically given away at the end because of transmission problems. 

I wanted to try RC Cola, so, at a rest stop in... Tennessee? West Virginia? I bought one from a vending machine and it dispensed two RC Colas. Or someone had forgotten to take their previously bought RC Cola out of the dispenser and it was still cold. Pretty big coincidence if that was the case. They were…

Mmmm, that 92 Eunos Roadster S-Limited

I have snakeskin Uggs for this purpose.

You know how they talk about a 10-year flood?  This is a good, 6-month joke. Thank you.

It’s a good thing that I found 148 Cadbury Creme Eggs on sale for $0.10 each a couple months ago...  They expire in April, so have to get cookin’

I think this is a better figure. Still just as dramatic.

Is he done with Davidson, too?

Of course, now you have to do the opposite and use kitchen utensils to work on cars. The farthest I’ve gotten is using a butter knife with blade covered in scotch tape to remove all those finicky plastic fasteners to remove the dash. To go in the opposite direction, just used my jack tonight to help replace the…

Are we talkin’ about a climbing gym in Madison Heights?

When I had a brush with bedbugs in a Ft. Worth hotel, I put all my non-disposable stuff into heavy, black plastic trash bags in my car and left it out in the summer sun after cranking the heat while driving. Even without any specialist equipment, it got hot enough to warp the foam inside the backpack straps and warp…

Yeah, that was a real laugh-out-loud moment!

I’ve had the “smells like burning in reverse” problem.
