“A screw loose” or “philanthropic propensities”?

After an exhaustive search for all of 3 minutes, I have found a picture of “Bob”

I think 0-338 in under 4 seconds is more exciting. Especially when you physically feel the sound. This shit is boring.

The asking price of $54,500 seems kind of cheap if you just came from Ford’s build-and-price site the 5:00 free crack giveaway.”

Sad but true. If you were on a picnic in a national park back in the 60s and 70s the rangers used to say just to dump your trash in the bushes. For real. Hell, that was half the reason there were so many bear attacks at that point, in the West Coast parks. They were used to people dumping trash right next to their

this is not that hard.....

If it was intended as a man-made reef, they would have had to strip any and all toxic materials, like coolant, transmission fluid, engine oil, brake fluid, etc. and since there’s no way they could get *all* the oil out of the engine, there’s no way they’d leave the engine in, or the gas tank for that matter.

In Munich, a BMW engineer awoke, in a cold sweat, realizing there was a market segment they had not yet tried to fill. 

there’s no story in that

Jason, this is why Elon is freaking out

Reminds me of bit of the design philosophy behind Scourge of War (PC/Steam), a Napoleonic era tactical war game. Although you can play it as a standard top-down real time tactical war game, it carries with it the option of turning on both messenger-based orders AND “in the saddle” mode.

I feel like Armageddon was a consequence of executive meddling more than it was the studio making the kind of game they wanted to make. Given how wildly all their pre and post-Armageddon games emphasized open world freedom, I think Armageddon being such a linear slog was an unfortunate fluke.

This truck is faketina

That looks like it has been patinaed , not natural . Fake patina is so stupid . Not a big fan of patina but I would consider preserving this look on that old Ford , it looks kind of cool .

I bet it’s cleaner than you’d expect.  They don’t salt the roads like some other places do, that’s the big driving factor in underbody rust.  Look at Florida or coastal CA, they are high salt environments and don’t show underbody rust like the Northeast.

I think I prefer that patina, because I think I could use your truck while wearing black and not worry about all the rust flakes.

I keep looking at mine and thinking “Ya know, with a paint job, this would be a pretty nice truck...” but then I get right back to tossing car parts in the bed willy nilly and come up with the perfect answer of “Nah.”

I’m not a big fan of patina (or as the rest of the world refers to it “rust”) but it would be silly to repaint a 35 year old work truck. It’s just an honest work horse so let it be. It’s worlds better than those that spend a lot of money to make their cars look like rusty junk for whatever reason. And it was that sexy
