I’ll readily admit... there may have been a spit take on seeing the title of the article.

I know, I was being facetious.... except for the top gear segment, I could reasonably see that being a thing.

I’m not sure if this is taking crate engines too far, or just far enough.....I suppose if there were powered wheels on it that would be too far...

And now I’m imagining a topgear or grand tour segment “celebrities driving this reasonably sized crate around our test track”.

Yes, you’re supposed to.. that still doesn’t mean if it just flops out when you open up the glovebox everyone involved won’t tense up on reflex.

Unfortunately that’s where I keep all my gas receipts..... kinda disables the point of a sun visor now that I think on it.

So at one point I worked for a college I was attending. Part of the job was loading up into the utv and driving through the pistachio and almond orchard at breakneck speeds to check the drip lines and fix the ones the coyotes chewed through during the night.

The rest of the job was sawing and chipping up an almond…

That’s kickass.

I forgot to specify it was a 94 f150, rear tank was 17 gallons iirc and front tank was 19. And a lot of the quirks that truck developed were after almost 10 years of heavy use at the farm after my dad commandeered the truck from my mom because his 250's transmission shit the bed and we didn’t have enough money to get…

Phantom battery light on my mom’s ‘04 town car. We’ve been chasing this one for a couple years now. Battery’s fine, same with the alternator and no one’s found any wiring gremlins that would explain the culprit.

Eh... not really. Granted the majority of the fighting force are locals, there still are Russians in the command structure of the rebels, and there has been direct Russian involvement since the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

And here’s the acknowledgement, direct from RT.

Bullshit. Putin even admitted that the guys setting up the roadblocks and harassing the OSCE monitors when the Berkut remnants retreated into Crimea were in fact Russian soldiers.

Gotta admit, all things considered, the Ukrainians have done much better than the Georgians in more or less grinding the Russians to a halt. Granted the Russian military hasn’t exactly done a full committal either.

Unimog, or a duece and a half.

It’s a thing that started in EVE that migrated over to elite. it’s basically a text emote that means someone’s saluting someone else.

It’s funny that you would post an image from elite dangerous as the header image since my story is from that game.

Fair point and now that I’ve read in on him a bit more I do kinda agree he was a dirtbag. But the people saying good riddance and celebrating his death need to tone that shit down. Granted that’s more my opinion that’s basically “leave the dead alone and let whatever contrivance of an afterlife is waiting for us sort…

For the record, I’ve worked with union reps who’ve done in person calls in the south to help union employees with theirbenefits and found whole clans of people that are members of the klan and literally have no knowledge of all the shit that the klan actually pulled, partly due to a lot of the bullshit that went down…

You do know people can open carry in some places right?

I don’t necessarily believe everyone keeping a firearm in their glovebox are psychotic... however I do feel their stupid since that’s generally where you also keep your registration paperwork which generally leads to unnecessary escalation during a routine traffic stop.

Honestly I probably would have cropped the photo down some on the right because of that tree anyway if that’d been my photo.
