Fun! I had a Pontiac Trans Am, and I didn’t really need to see this as I experienced it first hand. Some guy ran a red light in the oncoming lane as I had a left turn signal and hit me nearly head on. Actually, my damage wasn’t quite this bad, but the hood did buckle in a similar fashion. It wasn’t even totalled, as…
My brother did the same thing. At 2 years old he would stand on the bench seat and rest his arm on my mom’s shoulder. He did it so much that she finally banned him to the back seat because it was hurting her shoulder. Myself, I liked to sleep on the “package shelf” in the back window.
Yeah, during WWII the nation had a 35 mph speed limit, gas rationing and a halt to automobile production. People with low priority jobs were limited to either 3 or 8 gallons of gas per week. That’ll cut down on traffic deaths.
Get a Subaru. Doesn’t everyone out west drive one?
Go look on E*bay right now. There’s at least 2 brand new Symbas out of Spokane WA. Have fun! (Sym is Taiwanese and word is that at one time was a Honda licensed mfgr of their bikes. True or not, most folks agree its the best US-legal copy you can get.)
You can’t get a Super Cub in the USA. You have to settle for a SYM Symba (which I think has been discontinued) or a Chinese knockoff. Otherwise you do like I did and find a couple old C70 Passports. I’ve got an ‘81 and an ‘83. The 83/84 Passports are preferable because they have 12V electrics and a CDI, otherwise you…
That’s what a friend of mine told me (many years ago) after his visit to Australia. He was utterly unimpressed because he lived in California and thought Australia was just like California. New Zealand was a different story...he loved New Zealand.
Why do you have to ask that question? It’s a little old man’s/lady’s car that only took them to church every other month and occasionally to the doctor. I know this because have a 1965 Chevy II with 16K miles. It was my grandmother’s car but unfortunately it was parked on dirt under a small carport so it isn’t nearly…
My 1979 Trans Am (auto) had no shifter for a period of time. I had torn out my interior for some unknown reason (I was a dumb teen, what do you want?) and couldn’t get the console shifter to work after trying to convert to a ratchet. Anyway the linkage from the transmission to a collar ring on the steering column was…
Never liked Subway and still don’t. I liked Blimpie but they’ve all but disappeared. Firehouse is the only chain sub shop I’ll go to now.
When the government does something, it is legal. For example, Social security is not a Ponzi scheme because Ponzi schemes are illegal. Social security is the law and is not illegal and so therefore is not a Ponzi scheme. Taxing is not stealing because theft is illegal and taxes are not so therefore taxes are not…
Rent the most powerful pressure washer you can and see if it might take that paint off. You might be surprised. Failing that, get some Aircraft paint stripper and do it in sections.
GMG is like a car fire, I want to look away but can’t. That being said, on the F40 episode, they repaired the car in a Ferrari licensed shop. Rawlings and his ass monkeys didn’t do much but find parts, paint it black and drive it away.
Poor car. This is all I could think about...
I know a fellow in Georgia that has his own 20KW hydro plant. He has so much excess power, he just leaves everything running. The power company pays too little and requires too much for him to sell power back to them.
One the one hand, hawk a few stupid gadgets. On the other hand, have no job.
I’m going to get a Yamaha TW200 one of these days.
This ain’t me, but one of the strangest I’ve ever seen was as a log splitter:
Nice. My mom always wanted one of those but never got it. Dad could’ve easily afforded it, but she had 3 of us kids so it wasn’t practical.
