Nice price, would not buy.

The internet in 2020: People BEGGING for listicles.

seriously $200 is cheap for a decent bike

I’ve seen more bad doctoring in 5 years in the US than I saw in 50 years in Canada, and it cost 20x more than my *total* healthcare costs in the great white north.

Nah, just tell them

yeah, they’re so miserable in Sweden, Norway, Germany, etc. etc. etc. I’ll note that they regularly scoff at American idiots who lie about how things are in other countries:

Newest, sad truth coming out of 2020:

Other jalops: utes, UTES

Rational Me:

I was reliably told that Cars & Bids was the best place to sell a car like this.

It would be difficult and expensive to dispose of 300 gallons of fuel anywhere. Even in my local city I couldn’t find a place to dispose of 5 gallons of contaminated fuel.  I tried to do the right thing and  find a proper disposal site.  I asked the auto parts guys and various responsible city workers.  Nobody could…

When I was a little kid, back in the early 80s, my mom told me I could pump gas for her. I asked which pump and she said the one on the right. I filled the tank. We made it about a mile before the engine died. Gas engines don’t run well on diesel. My grandpa and dad had to siphon the tank and run two tanks of gas…

Oh no, it’s the dress all over again

Doesn’t appear that enough are.

I knew I was a competent enough mechanic for the type of work that I wanted to do when I got to the point I had no parts or fasteners left over that I didn’t originally intend to replace.

I’m in the final stages of putting the engine back in my ‘86 Alfa Romeo GTV6. It needed a timing belt, all three engine mounts, and various other things, but critically the brake proportioning valve had been leaking for a good long while so 1/3 of the engine bay needed a repaint. I went through a community college…

People take me for a “car guy”, but in reality I’m only a “3 specific models of horrible 80s van” guy. I know those inside and out, but show me almost any other well-regarded classic sports car or race car and I just go “Yeah, that’s car shaped alright. It’s a nice one.”

Put it on the Bronco manual so i can hang my clutch leg out the door window as God intended.
