“A medical student, he and his girlfriend (also in the medical field, and also a genius) are in the throes of a major restoration of the 1997 Land Rover Defender shown below.”  I hate to admit but I stopped reading after this.  I LOVE the idea of having a girlfriend/wife helping restore an old car but it just feels…

I want to get on board but... they’re lame. But hey, back in the day when over the top choppers were cool I used to design wheels for them.  Had more than a few show winners too.  These just reek 90's “billet” wheels.

It was spinning pretty slow so probably no where near peak Hp and it was a single speed machine.  Thanks on the fixture.  I designed it to be super beefy, the part didn’t budge but the machine ended up being tweaked to hell.  

Totally agree with every sentiment but I think I know why the autopilot failed. Cop car lights at night are way, WAY too bright. It is literally blinding for humans and clearly blinding for autonomous systems. I’m astonished by how many drunks and even non drunks ram into cop cars with their lights on and no one has…

Ok soI know some ridiculously tough guys. One guy droped a cast iron cylinder head on his foot, calmly told his boss he needed to go home and when home he poured the blood out of his boot. His wife begged him to go to the doctor but he didn’t and was back at work the next day and it wasn’t a desk job. But trimming…

Sounds like my kinda guy. But 5 horse on that beast? Weak sauce. I once stalled a DMG 5 axis mill with a 50hp motor pushing a measly 2" inserted drill. It was in an unusually nasty bit of inconel though.

Nice! I hope him and the guy holding his beer get away with it.

Maybe I’m not seeing it right but are they using bolts instead of studs to hold the wheels on?? If so then that’s the real story.

Yes, more than just safety. And no I don’t think I should get someone else to do my dirty work, I need to just suck it up.

Yeah ok so I consider myself open minded. The type of music is not my thing but I’ve certainly enjoyed songs that are more graphic than this. The thing of it is my youngest daughter is 13 and she will most definitely hear this song, and I’m sure she’ll like it. I doubt she’ll fully understand it but I’m sure she’ll…

Brad, normally I’m either with you or I at least understand your point of view but this is a particularly bad take. I’m sure there are a couple of guys in California that would buy it, but come on, it’s a freaking motorcycle! Full on electric bikes are cool and even I wouldn’t mind having an electric dirt bike so I…

lately?  The only thing that’s happening lately is that they’re getting caught.  Hell, since everyone has a camera in their pocket they’ve actually gotten better!

CP

For the first time I felt kinda bad about not reading the article first and voting CP. Because then I read 5sp manual, 4wd AND super clean..... Damn! Still CP cause of the whore’s red interior.

Why were you looking for GM? I mean they’re everywhere and seriously not hard to find.

Wait, is 260 million pounds how much this tall station wagon for rich soccer moms will weigh?

Clicked on the headline, scrolled down and clicked crack pipe, then read the article.

It’s weird reading this as a guy who is 42 and has social anxiety ever since starting school. I was born hearing impaired and I’m no where near deaf but high pitch voices such as kids and female teachers are very difficult to understand even with hearing aids(esp in the 80's and early 90's). I’m also smarter than…

Happiest little vampire. The fangs are glow wire glued to white cardboard.  Then on Halloween I park it at an angle facing the street and wired up a simple flasher to flash the headlights.  With or without the fangs kids love that little car.

Wow, can’t believe you left out the fact that manuals sound so much better.
