Not nearly enough Federal kick-backs. Yet.

I worked at a large auto body shop one summer back in university. Every now and thentwo nearly identical cars would be in the shop - one was in a bad rear-end collision, the other was in a front-end collision. Both would be total write offs by the insurance companies. One of the mechanics at the shop would buy both…

Force-vaccinate her through the eyeballs.

So much butt-hurt in the comments section today. She has skills that you don’t possess, get over it.

I think this is the best option. Destroy it or dispose of it and they will probably charge you with theft or some other BS. Carefully take it apart and let them have all the bits back seems like the best choice.

I got sucked into BOM about a year ago, and was so disappointed when I got through all of the available videos and Binky wasn’t done yet! At least it’s in paint now.

So many brackets. So much funk.

Muscle cars are just Bitcoin for Boomers. 6 figures for a car with all the performance of a Corolla but without any of the handling or comfort. Their value is entirely set by current owners convincing potential owners that they are worth something.

It’s really hard to let the water drip slowly when the city doesn’t have power to pressurize the main pipes. I have a couple of friends in Texas that had to figure out WTF they are supposed to do when the pipes might freeze, they can’t let the water run to prevent freezing, and there is really no low-point in the…

I suddenly need a Panamera.

The last time I ran out of gas was back in 2006, in a new Subaru Outback Sport. According to the owner’s manual, when the gas light comes on you have 80km of range left. Gas light came on. 30km later we are stuck on the side of the road, calling friends to come rescue us.

The current vehicles just tell me how many km…

Having set up too many tubeless tires to count, I know that the tube-first trick is a good one. Not only does it mount one bead to make inflating easier, it also presses the rim tape (whatever you use) evenly onto the rim. As soon as you said sealant was leaking out at the spokes, I knew that the rim tape just wasn’t…

25 years ago set-ups like this were all over Florida, usually hauling motorcycles out back. Made for a good party-deck when parked at <insert motorcycle gathering in Florida here> amongst all of the other participants.

Still have my 2010 that I picked up new. So fun. 90MPH off road in a stock truck is still nutso 11 years later.

Looks like they are bringing back the red/orange colour, which is the only correct Raptor colour.

But they did basically “drape” an old body over a new truck - watch the video. They cut the bottom out of and stretched a 1979, and bolted that on top of a 2014. Obviously a lot of custom work on top of that.

Ya gotta watch the whole video - they didn’t stuff the interior into an old truck, they literally trimmed the 2014 down and bolted a stretched 1979 body on top of it. Yeah, the custom touches of wood trim and bright yellow and white interior are not my cup of tea, but this isn’t just ripping interior bits out of one…

For me that’s a good thing. I’m still driving my 2010 because the second-gen styling just didn’t do it for me. The third gen ticks all the boxes...

I can’t even imagine trying to use those itty little “buttons” while wearing winter gloves. Yeesh.

Maybe it’s also voice controlled. “Tesla! Indicate left turn.”

Interesting, the Turbo Creo SL Comp Alloy ($5000) doesn’t show up at all on the Canadian Specialized website!. (The cheapest model here is the Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon at $8999.)

Comparing the cheapest Turbo Creo to the most expensive Serial 1 still isn’t a fair comparison. I’m thinking the $5000 Turbo Creo is a lot…
