Hey my wife’s brother in law is a forestry service in Oregon and lives off the grid at the end of an unpaved and unimproved dirt road who traps his own food and bring water up from a river in the bottom of an adjacent valley every morning for cooking and showers. He needs his jeep, and thus because this one specific…

Makes you wonder when, if ever, drivers will see a consistent across the board reduction in insurance rates as cars become safer and safer. I mean, obviously it’ll be a generation or two before vehicles lacking these safety features are completely gone from the road, but at some point with accident avoidance tech…

Customer complains to vendor about additional fee due to unforeseen circumstances, vendor eliminates fee in a response to complaint as a gesture of goodwill

Am I wrong in thinking that the top tube of the frame is bent just ahead of the seat post tube? That downward swoop isn’t present in the image posted from the Litespeed ad.

Legendary storytelling David, and I for one am amazed you saved the FC. I knew you’d never willingly quit, but man the early photos looked like a dead-in-the-water effort.

I’m more than happy to give Frank Kent all the positive press they deserve for this, and we should all keep I-Drive DFW on top of google searches for car dealers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area as absolute thieving garbage

Agreed, this could easily be converted into a loft or warehouse style apartment and retail block.  Lord knows it was likely built before the concept of planned obsolescence was normalized and will probably last another 100 years with minimal maintenance.  

Can we all agree that Ichabod’s Cranium is a pretty good name, though?

The Roundmeal is a net weight of 8 oz and feeds “3 men”? Probably long haired hippies like Davis maybe, but not real American Men.

I’ve been working on construction sites for almost 30 years including occasionally getting to operate yellow iron, and rolling an ambulance with the loader bucket isn’t just a simple matter of yanking back on the lever. Something that heavy needs throttle input, plus being positioned properly or else you’re just going…

Car enthusiasts come in all shapes and sizes and while I am unlikely to ever have the luxury of having the financial stability to keep a car just for static display, it seems like given the provenance and particularly detailed way the owner obtain and planned for this vehicle, especially with the plant worker’s…

You’re right, I did actually forget about that, which sort of proves the narrative “Rich man lives like a poor man” surrounding it works.

My in-laws don’t own a home, in fact they don’t even own a car nor an RV. They do, however own an LLC that owns several cars, an RV and a home that they happen to live in. So yeah I take that whole “Rich Guy doesn’t even own a home” schtick with a big grain of salt. Also “Warren Buffet still lives in the home he grew…

The thing I like the most about you David is, form follows function in your world just as it does in mine. While I am more of an MC enthusiast I am also a 4x4 junkie with my wife’s TJ, my 4x4 4Runner and me previous Dodge Raider and Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. All of those vehicles and most of my bikes are a visual shamble…

Both my oldest daughter and youngest son suggested going to a BH-PH dealership for their first cars and I did everything I could to steer them away from the idea.  It breaks my heart this poor kid wasn’t given the benefit of such advice.  

Ah Florida, where the further you travel North the more like the South it becomes. Seriously though a 6-footer is nothing to mess with and an 8-footer is likely to drag you under for a meal, these kids are beyond dumb for even bothering them. And to go to the trouble of clobbering them with rocks instead of a rifle to…

The worst part is that a-hole kid in the ship next to you who isn’t paying attention and his kite gets tangled up with your kite and the lines break and both of you lose your kite and you spent your entire allowance for a month to buy yours and that kid is just laughing because his dad has money and will just buy him…

Oh yeah, just about the best factory designed body kit ever. A neighbor has a blue stripes-on silver ‘82 similar to Jefferson’s from Fast Times at Ridgemont High and it kills me that he so rarely takes it out.

I know in my mechanical mind those are crap cars, but in my 80's kid heart that is the best looking Camaro in the line. The kid grants a star.
