Had to do this on a ‘63 Corvair a year ago when the clutch cable popped out of its mount. I was sitting dead at a stoplight when the idea of using the starter to get the car moving occurred to me.

Unless you had head bolts coming loose or similar problems, the reliable of your vehicle had little to do with where it was made. It mostly had to do with where it was designed. I’ve owned cars from just about every manufacturer, and the German ones are always the least reliable. My FIAT has been more reliable than…

Hey, my Abarth was made in Mexico, and it’s fit and finish is just as shitty as the European made one!

So kind of like how people voted for Obama, and then he hired the head of the EPA who then had to be confirmed by the Senate (a group of people who were also voted into power). Interesting...

Elected officials design infrastructure? You are truly ignorant.

You realize that Obama drastically cut NASA’s budget and ended the shuttle program, right? And know they’re using private companies in order to get satellites into space? Also, the EPA was also created during the Cold War, and by Nixon no less! You really are very ignorant.

Surrender? You’re not on a battlefield, psycho. Do you stop signs and red lights? Traffic controls are the real beurocratic, faceless enemy. Never surrender!

Beijing is also not the entire country of China, and a lot of their pollution is the result of environmental factors as well. And Los Angeles most definitely wasn’t the only city with a smog problem. That’s absurd. Here’s a shot of the Chrysler building from the Empire State building circa 1966.

Faceless? Bro, do you even Google? Here’s the face of the EPA right here.

even though we weren’t China before the EPA existed

Yes, Congress. A bastion of efficiency.

-private mining firm abandons their mine leaving it filled with toxic waste

I agree. I have a few classic cars that I;m always working on, and I went with an old Honda for simplicity. It’s straight piped and sounds glorious, but nothing really ever compares to Italian speed machines. Here’s my 450.

Add in the salvage title (or no title) and it is probably a $12k car. She probably just made a down payment with some meth money and planned on driving it for a month.

Jesus Christ. I’ve put 200 miles on a forty year-old Honda that I tore apart and fucked with myself in the last week, and it’s one of the least reliable Honda engines ever made. It’s an old 450 (one of Honda’s first DOHC engines) and it uses torsion bars instead of valve springs. The manual says to change to oil like…

Always good when a motorcycle maker has engine issues. Since, you know, you can be killed if an engine fails at speed on a motorcycle.
