Agreed. Police are civilians. The military is not law enforcement and law enforcement should not be militarized.

Vice Grip Garage and Rich Rebuilds on YouTube. Ronald Finger’s Fiero series is also gold. Fingerprints Workshop.

Looks like I’m back in the grays, but here’s my two cents anyway:

“I have all these tools, chemicals, torches, and gloves from Harbor Freight, but I did the right thing and didn’t bother to purchase a fire extinguisher.”

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, L98 + ZF 6 speed is the best C4 and one of the best Corvettes you can buy and live with. 86,000 miles and $9,500 is a no-brainer Nice Price.

Either Rory’s pick with a civilian Crown Vic or Marquis (don’t buy a CVPI, you’ll get AIDS from sleeping in the back seat) or a LeSabre with the 3.8 V6 will be a fantastic road trip car. If you do the ride in a Rabbit or Fit, you’re going to hate life at the end of every 8 hour day on the road.

The thing is, though, if NASA had pulled this bullshit with Alan Shepard, the Soviets would have been jumping up and down about how he didn’t land with the capsule and wasn’t a “real” astronaut. Yeah, they beat NASA and McDonnell to the punch by launching a vehicle that had no retrofire capability or survivability if…

If it was something like an old C1/C2 Corvette or an old E-type, I could see asking some money for it, but an old Fiat? You’re basically charging someone to haul off your old trash. ND at any price.

Silverado owner is likely going to be made whole, Hellcat owner is going to have a $70,000 hole in his pocket when the insurance company denies the comp/collision claim due to reckless driving or racing.

The only thing you’re confused about is the fact that someone had the audacity to state the truth. White people are afraid of getting shot by Black people, which is why these White police officers keep shooting Black men when they keep getting back into their cars. Fear is the root of all racism. It’s irrational and…

I’m judging the information that is being presented. The evening news showcases 20 Black persons accused of crimes for every White person they report on. From that ratio you’d expect a 20:1 ratio of crime being committed by Blacks versus Whites. But it’s all bullshit and nothing like that at all. Mass media is…

I’m basically going to repost what I posted on similar article about racism in infrastructure over on Jalopnik, but it comes down to this: White people are afraid of Black people. I’m White, so I can say it, we are racist because we fear you. Your ancestors started coming over here over 400 years ago, we enslaved…

Truth hurts, Smaug. White people are afraid of Black people. That’s why racism is still a thing. The sad thing is that this fear has never been based in reality in over 400 years. Black people have been enslaved as property and died in service to our country and we still treat them like shit because we’re afraid of…

For what? Calling out my fellow White people for what they’re really afraid of and the people who propagate racism and profit off their fear? We like to pretend like we’re soooo badass and woke and above it all, but the reality is that fear drives racism. All these assholes you see marching in “solidarity” with Black…

There is a reason why there are two separate systems. White people do not want to get shot by Black people. Turn on the news in Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta or any other major city and most of the crime that’s being reported on is being committed by Black people. So when White people have to go downtown to work or a…

First gear: things that made sense 100-150 years ago don’t make much sense today I guess. We had 90% of the country covered with passenger rail service only 50 years ago. You could hop on a train in any rural town in the country that was near tracks (almost every one of them) and go over to the next county without a…

Meh. Jack Burns had a whole SCIF in the basement of his Prevost in Meet the Fockers.

Looks like a great “parts car” if you have a Model 3 that was the victim of an unfortunate accident that was never reported to Tesla. Or you just want to buy one and part it out retail. One could probably make a fair bit of coin if everything but the software was identical.

No Dice:

Honestly...I never heard of it. I remember the 1LE package from the ‘80s and ‘90s being the stripped-down factory race package with the A/C and stereo delete, and just figured a modern 1LE would be the same but only available with the V8. Why buy a new turbo four Camaro when you can get a used SS with the V8 for the…
