I just want someone to use this to build replicas of ‘89 S-10 pickups, or ‘92 Corollas or some other utterly stupid thing no one would think of as being old enough or special enough to be a “classic”.

Nope, you have Obama to thank for this one.

At the $200 price point there is no pimpin going on. I guarantee he bought the caddy because it was what was available for $200. He didn’t buy a 2001 civic because you aren’t going to find one that runs and drives for $200. And even if he had the money in the bank to upgrade to the civic, the gas savings aren’t going…

Back in my first year of college, when I was particularly young and stupid I shared an apartment in RI with my cousin who attended the same college. He and I would drive back to CT every weekend in separate cars, and it became a bit of a game to see who could get to the exit for my parent’s house (his was further down…

A friend of mine’s ner-do-well brother decided one night to steal about a dozen sheets of flooring plywood from a construction site by stacking them on the roof of his 80s Crown vic sedan. No strap or anything. He was apparently driving very slow and careful and planning his stops until he was cut off by someone…

Teddy Rosevelt’s house calls the bedroom he and his wife slept in the “Mother’s Room”

My partner and I dated for 5 years before we moved in together because we needed to find the right place. We bought a house with two apartments so we each have our own space. This was also easier on her kid & I because it kept the kid from feeling I was invading their space, and means I get a place to retreat when the…

“I heard someone backed into your car.”

I fairly actively purge & clean up, because a cluttered space I can’t operate in is a missive source of stress for me (despite this, my garage is still a mess).

I have Ling Longs on my ‘87 wagon, and put them on my ‘64 pickup. I won’t defend them, but when your replacing tires due to weather checking/age vs wear cheap tires just make more sense.

I have no interest in this one, but I have been looking for a cheap1996-2001 V8 RWD one in the northeast for a drivetrain swap into my ‘87 Mercury Colony Park.

This isn’t the airport, you don’t have to announce your departure. 

Trump has lost the popular vote by *millions* both times he ran for president. He only got into the first time because he used the electoral college to win. His supporters are a minority of the people who voted, let alone a minority of the population. 

Had this on the last modern Ford I owned and loved it. Left me keys in the glove box regularly because if it. Was great when going to the Goth club, because I could pare down to just ID and some cash, which was much easier to fit the into outfits I was wearing.

Can confirm, Ford engineers seem to have a “Eff the mechanics” attitude. My current “toy” is an ‘87 Colony Park wagon. I have literally had parts held on with half metric and half standard fasteners. The Ford approved method for replacing (the weak and shitty) window motors involves drilling three 1/2" holes in the…

From an actual job standpoint was also a waterpump. The 3.8 had no business being installed in the Ford Taurus engine bay, and every job on that engine was a study in tight fits. Like you, the water pump was longer than the space between the studs on the engine and frame rail, but it went right in the block, so no…

Frustrating from a diagnostic standpoint was the rough running of my ‘64 C10. As part of a 20 day thrash-fest that incuded sandblasting the frame forward of the firewall, replacing every wear part on the front suspension, & upgrading to disc brakes on the front, I had replaced the old engine with one with 14K on a…

This just continues my thought that Tesla vehicles are from a technology standpoint something I want to own, but Tesla the company is exactly the kind of disaster of a company I don’t want to do business with.

Around here (Rhode Island), the Comcast sprinter vans I’ve seen have their mercedes logos removed and replaced with a huge circle with “SPRINTER” written across it in small letters. I suspect for a similar “They must be charging me too much for cable if the service guys drive mercedes.” BS.

The USPS is the *only* government agency that is required to pre-fund their pension plan for 70 years. The Republicans specifically wrote legislation for and only for the USPS. If this was about financial accountability they would have done it across the board. Paying in full now for the pensions of employees who have…
