Yup same and same. 84 XJ wagoneer in my case. Drove out to rescue my father who was stuck close to work after his alternator caught on fire. That poor little 2.5 had no chance of making enough heat to keep the windows clear. 

It was touched on in the article, but I feel it has to be said. Stainless is a bitch to weld. I’ve done it with mig and stick, and it doesn't cooperate. Puddle control is tricky, if your using a mig wire speed has to be down and amperage up. Not to mention contamination is way too easy. Everything has to be very clean…

Second one was driving into work on a single digit day. Was on the first long stretch and suddenly smell coolant. Get off the highway, pull under the overpass and pop the hood. Coolant everywhere. Turned out to be a cracked radiator tank. Freaking out because Northstar+overheat=death, I called work, explained the…

Ive got 2, and they’re both mechanical failures. First one was driving my gf and I to bowling. Get to bowling and I smell gear oil. Crawl under the back and see a bit of oil on the right rear backing plate. Ford 8.8 axle, bearing failure, currently about 15 miles from home. Bowled 3 games (league) hopped in the car,…

Oh come on manwich, we both know you don’t have enough money to buy all your kids a Veyron. Just enough to buy one for your favorite kid. 

Wait what? The hydraulic and PS pump are intermingled? So if the pump fails you can die twice? Did they learn nothing from Rolls Royce?

With bluetooth it can Phone Home.

As a NYer I feel your pain

Driving into work with $100 wonder truck 300I6 f150. 2wd, manual, literally did an engine swap a week before. Was driving to work at a job I had just gotten. The truck was a bit loud, then suddenly Scraaaaaaaape. Pulled over, muffler on the ground, hanging on by a thread. Try to wire it back up, burn hands, exhaust…

Ah but does the AC work? Also has the cabin filter been changed?

Didnt find any when my kid brother wanted to buy a phaeton. A quick web search doesn't find one either. Did find a LS swapped beetle and vanagon 

Ive done the coil conversion on a few Lincolns, and 2 Auroras. Compared to those, how much worse is the merc?

Okay Ford, time to make a dirt simple car again. Call it the Model E, wait no, that won't work. Model B? Yeah model B is good. Simple double din stereo, backup camera simple as is legal, single motor, rwd, nothing extra unless specced up. Show Elon how it's done. 

11 grand for an 84 Eagle wagon? It's not a Sundancer, or a rare 5 speed/ sport combo, it's just an Eagle wagon. These people are insane. 

“Hi Ho Demuro the frog here. Today we're going to learn about the letter C"

“Automakers in the U.S. are still struggling with supply chain issues" tell me about it. I've been waiting for the new Oldsmobiles for what feels like 20 years now. 

Good movie. It holds up surprisingly well. Also the 442 porn has nothing to do with my opinion. Nope. 

Yeah I'll second that. I had my Kindle Fire (yes really) sitting on my metal table in my garage while doing some soldering. In a case, just playing some music. Suddenly it just goes up, and it burns FAST. I call Amazon after I dunked it into a 5 gallon of water and ask the customer service rep what happened. "oh that…

Well I mean we both drive cars from brands that GM killed, so kind of?

So take this little jimny, give it enough battery to do 250/300 miles, say a 200hp motor set, profit? Make a car that has buttons,real gauges and batteries.
