The Jeep Chief. I’m kind of surprised someone hasn’t figured out a way to make a kit of this - I’d totally build one.

I actually feel that way about the four door Wrangler - they just look odd to me.

That said, the kit to make a four door into a two door pickup looks pretty good on the longer wheelbase. 

Thank you for the link! Mine’s a nice little layout to just watch trains run around - the three sidings have industries in that I put specific buildings next to them (a grain elevator, a brick building that I decided was a small brewery, and a loading dock) but we didn’t really design it for actual freight movements…

Oh, a Scalextric layout! That’s another thing I keep thinking about getting into. 

Yeah, I’ve got a mostly completed* 4x8 HO layout I built for my dad, and we designed it with just an inner and outer loop, with turnouts so you can move between them, and like three little sidings. Now, of course, he’s bored with it and we’re trying to figure out how to add onto it so we** can build a little rail yard…

Nice. Is that a specific track? I’ve considered getting back into car modeling (I got back into building kits by spending the last couple of years building an HO railroad for my dad), and was considering a diorama of something like the Esses at Riverside or something, then populating it with some Can Am cars or a…

Strangely most of the car photos on my walls were of old cars. Road & Track used to do a feature called “Salon” which would be a story about a significant older car, with fresh photography of a good example and a two-page spread in the middle of the article. I cut out a bunch of those, taped them together, and hung…

I used to have a little jump pack that you charged from a regular household outlet. That came in handy numerous times, though I suppose you have to keep up on charging it in the house/garage. 

I kind of like the fact that the left the lighter in place!

So I just went and rewatched that scene, and this is what they say:

I think that most urinals have exposed pipes, so the fire department can use those, though I don’t know how exactly. Sane with toilets - you can access the water supply. The self contained pee boxes in the men’s room didn’t have that as I recall. Not sure about the pure barre ladies’s room, though.

I thought that was what the noise was in the last scene 

I imagine that there’s a lack of entertainment content other than TV reviews, so they’re dredging up really old articles. I’m okay with this, since I haven’t been reading this site since 2010 a lot of them are new to me.

I’ll be in my bunk

Worked with a guy years ago who had one of these. College student, wasn’t home except to sleep, would just toss stuff wherever in his Escort sedan. Car was literally full of trash and fuck knows what except for the driver’s seat. One day I was leaving work (retail, so we had lots of students), and he was waiting by my…

I dig that Citroen as well. I thought it was an old Golf for a second, till they showed the whole front end.

That’s gotta be a Williams Sonoma item. Reminds me of these refrigerator magnets we carried at Borders back in the day - six feline backsides, in various coat patterns and colors, with anuses fully on display. And not like cartoony, either, these were photos.

Didn’t even give us the cat looking over it’s shoulder,…

There was a Jeep dealership near me that had one of those on the lot - I think it was the JK8 kit that turns a four door Unlimited into a two door pickup. (This was definitely a two door pickup). Beautifully done conversion, it had a lift kit, bigger wheels and tires, a really nice rig-but they were asking like $70K…

I’ve never seen one of these things that

No, there’s a reason the early ones were called the “Quaalude”.
