Same. I’ve had the same YJ for 29 years and other than a SOA and bigger tire and a swing away carrier for the spare, it looks pretty much the day it rolled off the production line. 

Remember when jeeps were friendly little Labrador retrievers of the car world and the most common upgrade was some offroad lights that looked like smiley faces?

Solid work, picasso.

An afternoon, a can of 3M spray adhesive and a rubber roller and even I could have that thing looking pretty damn good for at least another few years. 

Remember when we used to look at shitty photoshops of models with spider-abdomen waists and 3 legs? And those were done by humans.

I think RAM and Dodge should be recombined. It’s the same demographic. 

when I was a kid I loved butterfingers. Hadn’t had one in like, I dunno, 20 years. Ate one from the kids’ Halloween bucket and it was.....off. Like a weird half-assed version of the thing I remember. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, it just wasn’t AS good. 

MSG brings the umami

But when all the apples turn out to be of the red delicious variety.

Remember when you went into a store and you could just feel that the store was dying? If you are really old you felt this way entering a Sears. Then it was Toys R Us. If you are only slightly old, maybe you went into a Circuit City post 2005? Anyway, I think you all know that feeling. You can just tell.

It’s dead. Good. 

NEVER have the car hover over the jack stands. Lower the car onto the jack stands and keep the jack engaged. Then you have 3 points of contact.

The spring that pops it back into the open position is clutch.

I was a 98lb high school senior. Scrawny, wormy-looking horse-faced kid. But I also grew up on a working ranch and took care of livestock every morning starting at 5am. I would pull 1000 fresh, wet hay bails out of the fields a day during the summer. But that didn’t translate to having any kind of muscle to speak of.…

It will. Bought a used base 997, had it for 7 years, put 35K on the odometer, sold it for right about what I paid for it. Reliable and solid car. I didn’t worry about IMS failure, just drove it regularly.

honestly, the transmission may be fine, it’s the transmission control module that is set poorly. That same transmission in a different application may perform really well. 

I have multiple kids with multiple switches. If I get digital is it locked to one machine?

I was 12 years old on a hot summer day in Podunk Backwoods Holler when my friend and I got on our bikes to ride up to the local country store/gas station/hardware store/feed store to get some cokes when a car almost identical to the photo above pulled in to fill up.

The fact that they got Brian Cox to somehow be in that film still floors me.
