It’s just a car, and if he can afford that McClaren, he can afford to fix it.

I’ve always wanted an XJS, but with a big block Chevy (now a 6.2 LS is the choice) , but one thing always stopped me. Word on the street is that Jaguar used the absolute cheapest, shittiest wiring and connectors to do the loom on the XJS, and probably the rest of them too. I’ve done wiring work on a British Leyland…
Yep, I celebrate putting 5 year old kids in their place.
Bullshit. If the records show it gets stolen more often, then lock it up.
Boost a teenage-fantasy vehicle, give it a sporty rally inspired image. How else are you supposed to drive it? Foot to the floor, sideways most of the time, occasionally on its roof.
I sold a Ducati to a guy that drove 5 hours to buy it. I would get these emails, just raving about how good it ran, how fast, etc. About 5 months later, I get a picture, it looks like something punched a hole from the inside of the left stator cover. Later, I get this email, the tone was accusatory, the bike ate the…
Eggggzactly!!!!
Everything wears out. Personally, I don’t get attached to my vehicles, they’re just cars, trucks or motorcycles. And to completely rebuild that Mercedes AMG Something/Something, would probably take 10 times more money, than it would be worth when you were finished. I’ve found over the years that my toys (cars, trucks…
I believe it was Jimmy Kimmel that said last week, with marijuana becoming legal for recreational us in California, “Overnight, millions of 18-30 year old people, were miraclously cured of their glaucoma, bad backs and stress problems that needed a medical marijuana recommendation/prescription.” Do what you want, and…
This is stupid. You get paid to write this crap? Don’t put your phone in your bavk pocket? Why, don’t you wipe your ass correctly or hwhut?
But.....unless you are nearing 68 or 70 right now, I doubt if a HellcatDemonHemi wonder car will still be alive in 10 years without some major internal surgery, because 700+ HP, wears out and breaks things.
I’d assume that many more elderly people can drive something with a clutch, than can young drivers.
“The three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (you know, the form of music the black people created), truly proves the point that the “I have black friends” thing might not make whites as anti-racist as they think. We, of course, know better.”
I know people that are the nicest, mellowed people (men or women, black, white, Hispanic), when sober, but become complete, wife-beating, husband-beating, brother-beating, mother-beating, fight-the-cops, jailbird assholes when they get drunk. People change.
And they’re probably worth less after being nodded, than they were before they were fucked with.
Meanwhile, in Santa Barbara County, I’m wondering if I need to wear a jacket when I go ride my KTM today, it’s supposed to be 73 degrees or so. I won’t gloat about it. Much.
I always smell anything in a gas can, because I’ve put old, turpentine smelling gas into one of my Dirt bikes before. If it doesn’t smell like fresh gas, I dont put it in anything that runs that I have, because......
Those are $1000 cars, the numbers go too far to the right on that one.
A guy I grew up with had a Gremlin, a Javelin and a (For Real) Donahue AMX with Aluminum front bumper and fenders, and a bunch of other tricky stuff. He got strung out on crank, became a total lush, then ended up at Atascadero State Mental Hospital for beating on his 80-something year old mother, and some other stupid…
