I’mpersonally a fan of the big ass fan i had in the back window of my ‘74 buick as a defroster/defogger. It was effective on frost but fantastic for the copious amounts of condensation the Puget Sound uleashed upon me every morning. 

Or just a little kid a half mile down the road to innocently call out. “Your blinker’s ooooonnnn.” and thoroughly embarass you with your windows down in a big pink dually pickup. 

Mine was a periscope car. No wing, in yellow. It used to piss both my grandpa and uncle off all the time. Grandpa built ford race motors, and my uncle was a Ferrari mechanic. Eventually i added an f-40 and a cobra.

I’m jealous. Mine was black, still looking for one for my son.

Having had exactly that happen to me before I’m inclined to fnd out more of the story before i pass judgement. It’s not fun to be a 17 year old that just got rear-ended by a large pickup and suddenly find yourself held at gunpoint because "You brown freaks should get off my roads!" If it hadn't been for one of the…

Hey now. Some of us grew up in a place with pebbley beaches and thoroughly enjoyed them. Whidbey and Fidalgo islands for example. They can be very pretty but are way too cold for typical beach wear so fully dressed to play in the surf makes sense if that's the general vicinity of this photo. Nothing quite like needing…

OBS Ford, Square Body Cevrolet/GMC. They’re slow, they’re rusty, they don’t have crumple zones or airbags, but you can screw up the firing order on them and they’ll often still run. I’ve had more than a few of both and put 400k+ on at least four of them.

I read the badge on the back completely wrong. I thought it said TOAD.

This car has a special place for me in particular. When i was a kid my family fell on somebreally hard times so at one point the choice was between the mortgage and keeping my dad’s work truck. He chose the mortgage so had no way of getting the cabinets he built installed or any of us five kids anywhere. A family…

Having been on both the sending and receiving end of OC spray, can most definitely confirm. That shit gets everywhere, and can have the opposite of the desired effect(i.e. when I have been exposed to it it just pisses me off). But at least its a tool so we may be able to avoid injuring ourselves and the offender(s)

Back in the ‘70s and ‘80s there was a small town in Washington that had Renault LeCars as their police cruisers. The town was called La Conner.

How about BUFF like the B-52, you know what it means but the innocent won’t get the joke.

Speaking of insect feet and their amazinng ability to hang on in crazy wind. My father in law likest to tell a story in that regard. He was in korea with the airforce and noticced during his taxiing out that a big fat beetle landed just above the HUD on the canopy of his f-16. The critter wouldnt move and he didn’t…

My wife loved her jeep renegade, just make sure you’re ok with it being gutless and don’t leave the spark plugs longer than 40k or you’ll toast the coil packs. It was mediocre otherwise but the wife thought it was cute. 

I was in college and already owned a fun car so thought “Hey I should by something practical to drive back and forth.” So i went to a local used car dealer that i knew from my job at the time and he put ne in “A perfect commuter car.” for my fat poly frame. It was a 2004 ford focus zx3 pzev with an auto. The only…

During a move once we lost both the crappy ford v10 motor then after repair the transmission in the same mega uhaul. They tried to blame me for mistreatment of their equipment until i pointed out that they hadn’t changed the oil in the motor nor done regular maintenance on the sealed transmission which is why it threw…

At one point i found a ppg turbo interceptor shell and thought of doing exactly that. Wish id bought it now. 

They sell a good go kart motor though

I highly doubt that they will receive comp for any of the losses despite it being constitutionally required. Run into beurocrats pulling that maneuver more than a couple times, strangely always in an oddball large city full of transplants surrounded by farmers and loggers that have been there since the beginning of…

Gotta be the guy that bought hisp dapughter a brand new ferrari f355 berlinetta and had a place add 3000 pounds of armor to it because he was afraid she would get kidnapped.
