That’s fine, but I was replying to your later comment;

I don’t deny that, but I’m also not talking about that. My replies, both of them, were about using the wheels as a method of moving a car by hand, not this particular Bugatti situation. I would never advocate grabbing a wheel of a car while it is operational.

By grabbing the spokes. The spokes provide excellent handles which the tire itself does not. As for not pushing on the door frame or back is for the reason I gave before, more leverage and traction. It depends on the situation which method is appropriate.

A lot more leverage. Also, foot traction is not an issue. Also safer on bodywork, as mentioned. It’s how I move my car when its in “project purgatory” as well as times when the vehicle is on grass or gravel.

My eyesight must be getting bad. I didn’t see any crowds standing near that highway at all.

And don’t forget the yearly “personal property tax,” AKA, the car tax. Second highest in the country.

Why is everybody making such a big stink over this? I grew up on L.I. and we had them regularly, and no one cared. I now live in Va., about halfway between Wallops Flight Facility and all the bases in the Norfolk area, and we get them with some regularity here too. Hell, I heard/felt one this afternoon (too late to…

I sort of bought a truck in 2015. It won’t be delivered until the end of February or so, so I don’t know if it counts towards 2015 or 2016 sales numbers. 2016 Silverado LTZ Z71 Midnight edition with the 6.2.

And why have I got the grays again? Did I forget to feed Nibbles?

The original 53 had a lot of early hype, but after the initial rush and limited production run of 300 for 53, they couldn’t give the 54s away. The Blue Flame six cylinder, Powerglide 2 speed automatic, and leaky roof with only side curtains for windows didn’t exactly strike many people’s fancy. If not for the coming…

How did this not make the list?

She’s gotten them before; everyone else gives her gifts instead.

So if 54 of 55 where turbine bronze, what color was the odd duck and why? And awesome job, btw.

Yep. That’s a C3 Vette, and if the front engine accessories are off and the radiator out and hood off (all of which appears to be the case in this pic), there’s a ton of room to crawl around. The front crossmember is down there, so you can’t really walk around, but a smallish person can squeeze in there with their…

The one that kills me is one where it’s something like “you’re just sitting there, then, WHAM! yada yada... and your insurance company hits you a second time...” Um, no, asshole, if I’m just sitting there at a light and get hit, the moron that hit me is the one paying, not my insurance.

Yeah, tell me about it. One of my favorites I like showing to new guys or guys in different departments is a blade holder, which consists of a single piece of Teflon about 6 inches long and 5/8ths of an inch in diameter with a hole drilled in one end for a pin (included) and a 4 inch slit that the blade sits in. It’s…

I love that game and being an industrial mechanic, I always win. The stupidest stuff is astronomically expensive.
