Not to mention that $1k engine that his friend has may have its own set of problems.

I say rebuild your existing engine. Yes, $1500 is more than $1000, but it’s still not a huge sum. Plus it will give you a lot more material for future articles.
You just learned about unboxing videos?
Welcome to the internet, its terrible here.
They don’t weigh that much? Even with steel bumpers, full factory skids, roof rack and 31s my XJ weighed in at just under 3700lbs. Based on a cursory search a 2000 XJ curb weight was 3300 vs the Escape at 3450. NVH, outside of typical solid axle stuff, really isn’t worse than any other unibody SUV of the era I’ve…
Oh, god. No. First I learned last week that videos exist of people unboxing shit. Now I learn there’s such a thing as “reaction” videos to OTHER videos. Is that really a thing?
This needs to be the number one comment. Clips like this are what result in exhaust tube roll cages.
I disagree. The HD series of Lincoln welders are actually convertible to be used with a shielding gas if you want to. And after having used both a HF and Lincoln there’s no comparison. The Lincoln is simply easier to use and has a better feed system. We’re talking about a $150 difference here anyway.
But that’s actually what I like better about the C2. The C3 I do like, but it’s a big “American muscle car” already. The C2 seems like the American version of a lithe Italian coupé (and I like the fastback version even better than the droptop, strangely enough, given how much I like convertibles.)
Exactly this. The financial/employment impact of the pandemic and related downturn has very much been focused on low wage earners (the likely market for compact cars), while upper income workers have so far been largely unscathed (a much higher percentage of high wage jobs can be done remotely).
Look at it this way- A clean ‘66 Mustang is in no risk of getting crushed. He could ditch it in the middle of a vacant lot, and someone else would take care of it. Those obscure-ass Jeeps? Only David would bother saving them. He’s the mother Teresa of interesting but rusty old Jeeps.
I, I can explain...you see...well, the thing is...what happened is...
If you are making new lines anyway, a ‘67 mustang dual resivour Master Cylinder is a direct bolt in safety upgrade. You can also ditch the pressure switch for the brake lights and use a ‘76 F150 mechanical brake light switch in place of the rubber snubber for the brake pedal.
Having spent significant amounts of time holding a gas strut hood up with the top of my head after they invariably fail, I’ve come to appreciate the simple elegance of the hood prop.
If you have so many kids you’re using the third row it’s not like you don’t have spares

You’re welcome.
Lol, lower minimum wage! People can’t afford to pay rent, let alone live, off of minimum wage now. I make $15 per hour and I can only afford rent with a roommate. Most people I know have 2 jobs just to make ends meet.
Similar topic, but much more realistic, is the problem of unrestrained dogs in the back seat. I often see dogs being driven around in the back seat unrestrained and it scares the hell out of me. Think out the 50~100 pounds bag of meat come crushing into the back of your seat at 45 miles or more per hour !
Specifically to show what would happen without safety measures.
Van Gogh and crashes, leaking Degas all over the road and costs you Monet to fix.
