Ah, I mis-remembered. The 4WD Pandas always seemed like a cool vehicle, I saw a few when I lived in Germany. Any DAF has got to be quite the difficult project, especially a moldly one. I am familiar with the struggles of restoring odd-brand vehicles, as I am working on a Hanomag.

Woah - you sold your car?! Didn’t you have a sweet Peugeot 205?

Also, no shitty aftermarket chrome rims. It seems like all these cars listed (except the RR) are often seen with terrible wheels, when the originals look much better.

Damn! Go Norman! This was magic and I love everything about it. The run up, the way he pointed towards the ref, the layered team gear, the moment before he shoots. Norman is in tune with the universe. You earned yourself an awesome Christmas.

Yeah - the fact that “only” two children were killed means that it didn’t register over the normal violence of the national news cycle. It really is sickening.

Isn’t it actually the other way around though? When using the app (I’ve never used Uber), don’t you see the name and photo of the driver picking you up on your phone? With a cab, I have never seen anything other than a grainy picture on a placard and ID located pretty far away. It seems it would be easier to identity…

While I don’t disagree, I don’t know how licensing and bonding would necessarily prevent a rapist (without previous record) from getting a job driving people around. But you have a point that perhaps the victim could sue the company in addition to the criminal charges if it was a cabbie- this is scary and terrible and…

Yeah, this car makes me feel weird things...It seems to depend on the angle, but it seems to trigger the same lust that I have for VW Corrados, and then in the next shot seems bloated like it was stung by a bee.

All this has happened before and all of this will happen again.

Yeah, this seems pretty basic. Same thing with a “family kingpin crime ring” that was stealing cars in the Portland area and scrapping them without titles.

Another vote for grounding issues on speedometer and blinkers. I don’t know these Z cars well, but pretty much every car from the ‘80s that I have owned has had electrical gremlins, and most can be resolved by careful attention to grounds, cleaning connectors with CRC contact cleaner, and protection with dielectric…

It is a mostly stock build/refresh, and is going into a Mk1 VW, so I’m not as concerned (yet) about major power increases. I am looking at turbo options though, as the current snail is a bit tired. Also am going to need to do custom intercooler, and am going with a ported /modified intake manifold to eliminate all the…

+1 for reference to triple square bolts...I am also in the asylum. I will be measuring piston projection soon, to determine the right headgasket for a complete 1Z rebuild I am finishing.

Preach! Now I hope that Jones comes through for black people that got him here, and really delivers on his promises. Because he barely won against one of the most reprehensible candidates ever, and he is going to need more than 2 years to reverse this train of Republican bullshit. That is going to take more black…

I just saw that a couple minutes ago, and glad that he did!

Also, huge shout out and props to the black community for coming out to vote. Turnout in majority African American counties was very high compared to expected averages. Doug Jones had better remember that!

I agree that manifest destiny is the worst and most historically relevant example for us now, but it is not like the general concept was invented in the 1500s. Genghis Khan and the united Mongolian tribes employed similar tactics about 300 years prior, and were ruthlessly effective at genocide as well.

First of all - your mom is rad.

Really? I just looked up what it stands for, and it is ridiculous! : “Leading, Environmentally-Friendly, Affordable, Family” Car. That makes no sense, as then we should always be calling them the LEAF Cars not LEAFs, as then it would be the word “family” that was plural.

There is also a significant amount of uranium in the area - in fact there appears to be greater correlation with the uranium plays than the oil/gas, according to this map of the boundary changes.
