My heart was stopped RIGHT there for a moment. The A-pillar is obscuring the scary part. Big moment to be sure.

Ah, but it's a Corvette. Every Corvette ever made will be desirable to a significant enough group of people to support a restoration ecosystem. That is why you can scratch build any C1 or C2 from mail order parts. Probably some C3's as well.

It's a formula that is hard to argue with. Don't forget the methanol. Not hard to see why these big NASCAR stars always love to go back to their roots and race these things for fun.

I totally heard that in this voice

Jesus Christ, people are insane. I don't go out of my way to run down hapless creatures*, but I will be damned if I am going to risk a highway speed pileup over something that won't even know what hit them. A buddy of mine once wrecked his racecar and tow rig when he slammed on the brakes for some ducks. I told him…

Oh, I agree that it's definitely a lowest bidder issue. There are a LOT of parts of all cars that suffer the same quality limitations, though not all of them fail at the same rates (or within a reasonable lifetime). Cars are most definitely not designed to a specific lifespan like a lot of people think.

Looks like a GMT800 cluster to me. Shame you had problems with the drivetrain. That was the best part of the ones I have owned. The rear disc brakes and evap modules caused me more grief than anything else.

It's annoying and seems like it would be a big deal, but all 6 of those dials use exactly the same servo. Times how many vehicles GM has produced with dials in the last 15-20 years? You can have that entire cluster fixed in 2 days for $65 with shipping. It's a really easy job if you are pretty good with a solder…

So, a picture of your N5 on your N5? So, what is that leftmost icon where BatteryGuru should be?

Maximum Doug

You have to stay employed because the Mothers of Invention stole all your royalties?

Is Bob a vampire? I don't see him on that dude's portrait oriented potato.

Waiting for the footage from at least a dozen of the vehicles in the vicinity of the incident. It will be like the Audi/Corvette carnage from the weekend, where we can see what happened to this shitstain frame by frame from different angles.

I love how the people in the silver car were all "Welp, nothing to see here" and just carried on with their lives.

Came for an eargasm...ended up with three.

My parents didn't do any fixed time thing as much as made sure to check both ways. It's saved me from trouble more than once in my 3+ decade driving career.

Situational awareness, FTW. I never EVER roll through any intersection without keeping an eye on cross traffic.

I am not a turbo guy (but have been around plenty and have studied thermodynamics), but my understanding of the blanket isn't so much to protect the compressor from radiant heat as it is to protect the engine bay. Also, keeping the heat in the turbine as much as possible makes it as efficient as possible.

There is NO WAY that dude is working that hard for an employer that short-staffed him. He's only working that hard because there is a hot little chilla waiting for him along the route.
