As someone who works in insurance, that is an obvious total. Let them total it (average NADA with alloys is about $4K), and send them lots of pics from before and any maintenance invoices so they give you top dollar for it. Also let them know you want to retain it, they will run the value as salvage (I ran one with a…

My only complaint is a completely pedantic one. When he jumps in the Peterbilt prerunner, the shot of him starting it is a 1967-1972 Chevy pickup dash. And another shot of the PeteRunner make it clear that isn’t the dash the truck has.

The clearest sign you have taste and style with this style shirt is to get one where the pocket is cut such that the pattern on it lines up with the front panel. A *really* good ahirt will have the pattern lined up where the left and right side of the shirt meet.

The cop hot-rodded his police cruiser.

Im pretty sure he was referring to the housings and not the bulbs.

That “blanket” you listed is a tarp in a bag designed for keeping you off the ground, and will do precisely zero to keep you warm. Instead of a worthless $22 blanket, get a few mylar emergency blankets. They are eve more compact, and run about a buck a pop. I generally keep one in the glove box all winter.

The Yugo can’t be the worst car in america, because the Plymouth Cricket existed.

A friend of mine worked as a Ford mechanic in Texas in the 80s. They had an infamous customer who drove an LTD with cloth interior. Apparently this Good Old Boy(tm) would throw his fast food detritus in the back seat, and only clean it out when the pile got high enough for them to spill over back in to the front seat.…

Now comes the question of whether I can get Project Colony Ship long-haul capable and get over this 5 week long cold/sinus infection BS by the 14th.

Even better, it is on a thin RC car chassis that can go up to 40mph. So it can be a game of car hunt & destroy.

I work in the insurance industry[1] and see claims from across the country, and teslas are the brand that most consistantly has parts related delays. So their claims that it is always the body shop doesn’t really hold up. Unless part of the process of becoming a Tesla Certified body shop includes learning how to delay…

Christ, that Geo is worse than the $400 Corolla I bought. And after a 100 mile drive home (in which I swapped a out of round front tire for a less out of round rear tire) I ripped the engine out of it to keep my partner’s Geo going.

The third. I’m involved with an epic makerspace called The SteelYard here in Providence, and they offered the voulenteers a chance to take the class as they are looking to restart the foundry program. So we lept on that chance.

I have so many diecasts, and my favorite changes depending on what i just bought, or what custom i just finished. However at the moment my favorite is this 1/18 Checker Cab, because i cast it in iron myself.

If you block ads on youtube, the content creators don’t get paid for those views. So I support the youtubers I watch by having my adblocker turned off on youtube.

I am willing to pay with my time. I’m unwilling to pay for a broken and incomplete experience with my time.

But they aren’t running fewer ads, they are running massively more. A Roadkill episode on youtube would have a before ad, maybe a lower third ad, and in a really long episode maybe a lower-third ad. I think I was up to 5 interstitial ads before I hit the point where it wouldn’t play which was maybe half 2/3rd of the…

Did you no read the part about how many ads I sat through? My ad blocker is off. And at least half the episode played.

My frustration is two pronged. One is that when i trued to watch a video the number of ad breaks were crazy, and poorly done. If theu are controlling all aspects the least they could do is put the ad breaks on scene cuts and not mid-word.

Project Colony Ship is an ‘87 Mercury Colony Park wagon that is going to get a raised & beefed suspension, off road tires, custom welded steel front & rear bumpers with cages to protect the lights, and a custom roof basket integrated with the stock roof rack but with added lights.
