My insurance renewal papers request that I list major modifications. This might be “major” enough that I should tell them, or risk denial of claim.

British hangars are amazing. (I stumbled upon this at IWM Duxford last month.)

It took Mr. Regular half of the Falcon build to stop calling the place “Advanced Auto Parts”, instead of the proper “Advance”. As he says, his show is unapologetically Pennsylvanian, so there you have it, malaprops and all.

The Vagabond Falcon has no A/C and it was July. Four windows down and 40 mph will send all that funk straight out of the car.

I think a lot of this is military. I had a friend in the Navy, and when he was at Pensacola, he was at officer’s training just long enough to establish residency. Then for the rest of his military career he carried a Florida license having only lived there a short time, regardless of his duty station. I’m pretty sure…

This is the best example of why there should be a “badge delete” option on all cars, everywhere. (Europeans apparently get to do that.)

I can get 2 or 3 Jeeps for that price. While I dig “odd”, it’s too much for shits ‘n grins.

I started backing in at church about 5 years ago, and now nearly everyone there does it. I do it at any place where a mass of cars leaves at once. So many people are passive-aggressive about letting cars back out of parking spots that its worth backing in so you can nose your car in between others when it’s time to…

Actually, you can say “You CAN park here” too. Giving someone license to use the property voids their claim of adverse possession.

And you can avoid it completely if you just do something very simple to assert your ownership of the spot. You know what that is? Give them written permission to park there! That’s right. If someone is taking your property for their use, if you were to simply grant them permission to use it, then their claim of…

Seems about right. Off the top of my head, breaking down my daily driver Lexus hybrid SUV I bought used in 2007 for$36,000 and Carmax will give me $10,000 today, so let’s call it $2600/yr. Insurance averaged $685/yr. Taxes and registration call it $400/yr. Fuel as I drive about 12K/yr at 26mpg and $3/gallon over that…

If I’m held up 30 minutes in a traffic backup because of some idiot, I’m going to get a photo of it.

It may not be as bad as it looks. If the awning has collected enough water, and the ammo is energetic and hollowpoint or frangible, then when the bullet hits the collected water, the energy could be dissipated and greatly limit the peak altitude and range of the bullet.

The vehicle with the camera instigated this whole mess by leaving his lane and driving on the shoulder. That was the initial traffic violation that precipitated the ill-advised pass on the right. Riding the shoulder is illegal if you aren’t an emergency vehicle.

That’s the American consumer paradigm. Buy all you possibly can until all your income (and more) goes toward paying off debt. You leverage your income into getting piles and piles of consumer goods and depreciating-value durable items. This generates maximum sales volume for retail sellers and pumps currency through…

But according to the KDF registry, they have Hitler’s one in their museum in Wolfsburg!

For half-a-million, you’d think he’d clean it up a bit. Get rid of the spider webs and find the horn button that he lost. It did have it at one time:

Whoops.. Went right over my head. The joke’s on me!

In the “country” thieves will steal everything that’s not attached to the ground. Meth has destroyed this country. Remember the scene in the “Lord of War” where the Africans stripped a plane clean? Tweakers will strip every piece of metal from a building to sell for scrap. My uncle had some very expensive aluminum…
