And a certain pig that got itself painted on a 917...

Fuck yeah. Our minivan was awesome. If you have active kids and need to haul them, their friends, and all their stuff, there’s no better way to go. Going out with your dad-guy buddies? Minivan. You can plug the cooler in the back, designate a driver, and party until it’s time for bed at 10:45.

I’m digging the Subaru SVT side windows.

Because we stay in town and eat with friends, and have a few drinks.

Yeah. It’s a heap of shit. But that’s not time and neglect; it was a heap of shit coming out the factory door. It’s a good-looking heap of shit, but a turd-pile nonetheless.

As a Canadian I say “Bring it.” If that orange bloviating idiot is going to tear up the free trade agreement, fuck the US. We have the capability to sell crude and petrochemicals to lots of other countries. 

Sure thing Donald. Go ahead, hit us with 25% tariffs. We can shut off the freshwater supply to the Northern States, shut off the flow of crude down Base Keystone, and shut off the flow of softwood lumber. See, you’re not as independent as you think you are. Water aside, there are lots of other countries willing to…

Yes, this is a great deal. Spin scooters are damn-near bulletproof. The speed is good enough that it’s faster than walking but not so fast that you’ll be a hazard. This is a good buy.

Yep. Museums de-accession parts of their collections all the time. This would likely have been done with Mercedes’ blessing; although that’s not always required.

There has always been a small-motor Mustang. Even in 1964/65 the base Mustang had a straight 6 instead of a V8.

The point is that 30 years ago (and maybe you’re not old enough to appreciate this - I don’t mean any disrespect by that, I’m old) we freaked out over a passenger car with 400hp. Today, it’s commonplace. Ergo, quaint.

These sucked ass.

I think you’re missing my point. Yes, this is a good price for a 400hp crate motor. That’s not the point. The point is that 30 years ago we were all agog over an 8L V10 cranking out 400hp in the then-new Viper. It was an insane amount of power in a reasonably accessible vehicle.

Did you manage to get (or give) a purple nurple?

It’s funny how our expectations change. In this era of Hellcat motors putting out 700+hp, getting only 400hp from an 8L V10 seems almost quaint.

Or, hear me out, just forgo this entire box of nightmares and let Stellantis die already.

The rear wall folding down is as much nonsense now, as it was when the Avalanche came out. The idea that you should share your safety cage with the load in your truck bed, is idiocy.

Haolong must we sing this song...

At first I thought “that seems reasonable”, then I saw it was a Ford. The coil packs on my Tundra run $600 at Rock Auto all on their own. I could see a mechanic hitting $1300 on my truck for that work once labour is factored in. Fortunately, all of that is within my abilities. Still, I’d be sitting at $750-$800 in…
