I used to work for an RV manufacturer, the “Shifter” used in the coaches I worked on was a panel with a gear indicator, buttons for Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Upshift, and Downshift (“Park” was neutral with the parking brake on) because it had a fully electronic Allison transmission. It’s possible this RV has something…

Thanks brother, your story gets 5 out of 5 rusty Jeeps :-P 

I was dragged along wine tasting once and was being a good sport and trying things when a group of frat guys staggered into the tasting room and proceeded to begin to dare each other to drink the spit bucket (They usually have a container so that people who want to taste wine but don’t want to drink it can spit it…

Fun fact, Subaru built a limited run of a street-legal version of the rally car known as the Impreza 22B... “22B” is 555 in Hexadecimal. 

Subaru SVX with a manual trans swap :-) 

I’d understand if it was a multicolored jalopy with a few scraps of paint holding the rust together, but the dent doesn’t look hardly even noticable. Hit it with some polishing compound and call it good. 

I saw it on Monday (friend got a screener invite) and I honestly didn’t see it while watching the movie, but after reading the tweets I was like OMG THEY ARE RIGHT!!!!! The back story hit pretty hard as the friend I was with has a similar one :-( 

Needs three pedals, six gears, and a 4BT ;-) 

The EJ25D was 98-only, after that they got the EJ251 which was slightly less prone to head gasket failure, however they’re the type of thing that once they’ve been replaced, assuming they were done correctly and with quality parts, they usually don’t leak again. My wife has a 99 Outback with an EJ25D (The EJ25D is…

The Crosstrek is better in every way AND it’s available stick in all but the highest trim level. 

And if it’s a Michael Bay movie, it will explode halfway down, in midair. 

Plot twist - it’s not a real Pagoni Zonda

I almost got one in high school, old fart down the street had one and he only wanted 100 bucks for it, needed a clutch, but he refused to sell it to me because I lived down the street and he didn’t want me coming by every time something broke, despite being like, it’s a $100 truck, I’m not expecting a warranty! Ended…

Some local folks did that with a Prius and ran it in the Gambler 500, and I’m super tempted to lift mine :-P https://jalopnik.com/this-lifted-prius-trolls-jeeps-1825777000

I’ve seen that before, super bad ass!

My grandmother’s brother was the tailgunner on a B17 (I think), after they crossed into friendly territory coming back from a bombing run, he came forward as the seal around the gun was leaking, and he was getting wet. One of the other men on the plane was cleaning his sidearm, which discharged when they hit a pocket…

Beavis: It’d be cool if they could like, make me big, and then make me small again but keep my wiener the same size

Yep, sorry I forgot to say specifically, but it was in fact a 300 I-6. Those engines are friggin tanks...

I worked at a dealership during the Cash for Clunkers BS, someone traded in this old F150 that was mostly rust with a few particles of paint holding it together, 2WD with a 4 speed manual that I think had 2nd and 3rd gear, had 300 some thousand miles on it if memory serves me. That thing ran for like 20 minutes with…

Not sure if the Jeep is this way, but some Chrysler products of that vintage controlled the voltage regulator via the ECU, and if the ECU borked it’d overcharge (or not charge at all). I’ve seen people swap to a GM 1 wire alternator on Jeeps before, but you might just get a decent volt meter and find the trouble tree…
