Perfect for all your coke snorting needs!

Knew someone with a mid-60s Continental that had a similar roof issue. The hydraulic setup was in a box of pieces in the trunk and no one knew how to assemble it. He eventually flew an old Ford factory mechanic out from the midwest to put it together.

If you look closely, there was a pelican on the grassy knoll. 

Makes sense. I lost a beloved Spyderrench that I kept in my glovebox. Still mad about that.

I feel that this is very correct @FriscoFairlane, car thefts and stolen car body parts are usually shipped off to Asia and other Pacific islands. We do not have a lot of processing here for such things and not so much demand either so it gets stolen and shipped off to other places. Great Observation!

Shipping only works at scale. If the authorities nab the few shady scrap yards buying stolen CCs, then they’ve solved the problem.

You’d think that, but when Maine implemented some pretty drastic conditions around buying and selling scrap metal, thefts plunged. Maine, having more summer-only homes than anywhere else in the nation, had a HUGE problem with copper theft long before catalytic converter theft became a thing. But the same restrictions…

Awww, ain’t that cute.

It it what people often refer to as “Free Gun Inside / Follow Me Home For More” stickers.

Unless it’s just a Dodge Colt.

If the bad guys can’t steal guns so that good guys with guns can later shoot at them, the whole circle of life breaks down. It leaves the good guys with no options other than accidentally (sometimes) shooting their family members, friends, and of course themselves.

The guy is driving 170mph on a track without a helmet and just a 3-point seat belt. Unbelievably stupid.  

I’d argue that the whole shadow banking industry (payday loans, pawn shops, those “FinTech” lenders used in ecommerce for installment plans, ‘rent to own’ anything, etc.) would give car dealers a good run for it when it comes to deceptive/exploitative assholery around fees/pricing/fair disclosure of effective…

Biggest thing is you have to stay in the class the vehicle is in. Cars need car donors and light trucks need light truck donors. Can’t legally put a Cummins into a Monte Carlo for instance. Probably wont fit under the hood but a Trailblazer 4.2 straight 6 would be cool if you wanted to keep it “GM”

It involves taking it to a “referee” inspector who verifies that all of the original emission control equipment (cats, PCV, EGR, air pump, evap system) that the donor vehicle would have had are present. Doesnt have to be in the same place, just present. Adding a check engine light somewhere visible to the driver and a…

Hmm. Can I find a $120k to spend on a fugly car?

Pre-shredded cheese is coated in potato starch to keep it from clumping together, but it also keeps it from melting properly and affects the taste. Real OGs know the only way to go is to buy a block and shred it yourself.

I don’t think alot of people knew Mitsubishi also made a VR-4 version of the Galant, and their turbos were in the Koenigsegg 1:1 =)

This is some victim blaming bullshit, and assumes that all pedestrian strikes occur when the pedestrian is entering the cross-walk from the “right” side of the road.

I saw that one too!
