Nice update! Aside from a few logistical issues with getting registration, sounds like you’re in good shape!

This inspired* me to buy a second horrible old Schwinn while my first one is in the bike shop getting the wheels trued. Spent $20 and $25 on them respectively and so much more than that replacing the everything.

We all knew this was coming eventually.  I’m a little surprising GM didn’t try it first, but then again maybe they just aren’t there yet.  I was thinking it would more take the form of “The car had detected it is 0 degrees out.  For $3 would you like to enable remote start for 24 hours?  For an additional $2, the…

I’m sorry for your loss. It had a good run and you should be proud of the work that you did to it.

So many jump cuts. Watched on mute which was a good call. Kids these days, etc etc.

The Mitsubishi Mirage is the worst car I’ve ever driven.  I got a rental spec sedan and when I first went to pull out into traffic I honestly thought it had stalled when I hit the gas pedal.  Nope!  Just that slow.  Slow to react, slow to shift, slow to accelerate.  What a horrible vehicle.

Literally should be illegal.  This is like... oh I don’t know the brake lights coming on because the driver turned on cruise control.

I asked the housing inspector for an extension from June 25 to July 31, as I’m out-of-state, and COVID has made registering and titling cars a difficult affair. The inspector was kind enough to grant me the extra time.

Honest question: do those ultrasonic repellent things work? I have a couple cars in off-site storage and I’m wondering if sicking one of those in each might help. (No problems so far, but that would be my luck...)

Is it bad that when they started talking about bad seals I immediately assumed apex seals?

I’m actually wondering if they got wind of who bought it and sent them a “nice” one instead.

Given they have the same engines and weigh the same, not sure why someone would choose one of these over an XJR or a S-Type R unless you were REALLY into the styling of the XKR.

That’s horrible.

Looks good from any angle you can’t see the grill....

This is excellent.

That looks terrifying and fun.

[generic complaining about the slideshow] But that said, Andrew nailed it.  Thought that RRC is tasty looking, if you’ve got $35k to blow a G-Wagen would be epic.

Why is this project not on Oppo!?

My main project has been doing a complete maintenance overhaul on my (somewhat) newly acquired Jaguar S-Type R. New belts, hoses, idler pulleys, tensioners, water pumps, horns, spark plugs, filters, brake pads (on all six calipers...), brake fluid, and coolant plus an upgraded supercharger pulley and intake. It has…

I saw the mayor tweet this and hoped it wasn’t real. Apparently it is.
