I see this as fascinating, because it confirms my suspicion that Transformers breastfeed. After all, if the boobs exist, the only logical conclusion is that they must serve a practical purpose. I have to wonder what a baby Transformer looks like now. And do Transformers give live birth or do they lay eggs? Perhaps…
Heh. This reminds me of my Autotech class. There were a ton of rednecks in the class and they always wanted to listen to country music, so my teacher eventually said, “(sigh) Fine, but I don’t want to hear any songs about fishing or corn!” We all thought this was funny, and then one of the rednecks revealed that they…
All the truck bros will argue that real trucks need leaf springs and solid axles and body-on-frame construction and a face that can strike fear into the heart of a bear and all that, but I think that your definition of what makes a truck is pretty good. It’s weird and not what I would’ve expected at all, but it works.…
In the year 2090, on International Space Station II...
Well, I like that it has 500 horsepower. I’m not a fan of SUV’s or disproportionately large grilles, but having 500 horsepower is certainly not a bad thing.
In the year 2094...
WHY AREN’T THERE MORE CARS NAMED AFTER DOGS!!?? This thing is almost as cute as the thing it’s named after. The only other cars named after dogs that I know of are the Mitsubishi Flying Pug and AC Greyhound.
Wow. I’m trying to imagine how one would go about restoring a vintage cement truck, and what you’d do with it afterwards. Maybe you could modify the cement mixer in some way so you could use it as something else. Like, perhaps you could modify it to make it into a really weird RV, and just live inside the mixer.
I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that that picture isn’t photoshopped. It just confirms that car companies think that the size of the grille somehow entices buyers. I’m imagining going back in time to the 1950's, when car companies were in the middle of their horsepower wars, and telling people that in the…
In the right of this picture, near the tree, you can see what appears to be a late ‘40s to early ‘50s COE cement truck. There’s a lot of neat stuff in that yard, but in my opinion, the COE cement truck is the coolest, because you just never see things like that anymore. Also, I think there’s an El Camino or Ranchero…
I feel strangely excited about this. I’ve heard lots of jokes about how bad New Coke was, and it seems like it was a huge cultural phenomenon among the generations that lived through it. I never got to experience New Coke, though, and I feel like I’ve missed out on truly understanding the magnitude of the jokes. I…
I’ve always gotten the impression that malaise cars, stylingwise, were like parodies of themselves. I’ve always enjoyed looking at pictures of ‘70s cars because I like to laugh at the hilarious styling. It’s interesting how most of the cars from the malaise era were very conservatively styled and ended up looking…
DANG that is some good car chase right there. I’d say that was even better than the Bullitt chase. I actually want one of those cars now. And I totally agree, that RAF 977 Latvia is quite cool. One of the weird things that I obsess over is microbusses that are not Volkswagen microbusses. Some of my favorites are the…
Nice! The dark green looks good on it.
Yeah. I think they replaced the carburetor because the stock one was a two-barrel, which gave the engine about 290 horsepower, but the next-highest engine option had a four-barrel and made 315 horsepower, so I think they were trying to improve the performance a bit. Recently, it was running well enough that it usually…
ATTENTION EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO REPLY TO ME: I’m done. I have said everything I came to say. I have backed up all my arguments with the truth. And yet, the lengths you all go to to find excuses to hate me and Christianity as a whole astounds me. I know from experience that these are good people. I’ve been through…
It’s alright, your advice is appreciated. I’ve suspected the choke for a long time. The problem is that one of the previous owners bought an aftermarket four-barrel carburetor for it, and I’ve never for the life of me been able to tune the darn thing correctly. One of the reasons why is that the cap for the choke was…
A body style that’s not currently on the market? Hmm...
True. I think I read that story in the Bible recently. If I recall correctly, it was something about how there was this man at the church who was having an affair with his stepfather’s wife and the church was boasting about how tolerant they were for having an adulterer among them, and Paul was concerned that the…
