I think the cabover concept is even more viable especially on an an EV skateboard platform. A small EV pickup/van would be amazing. 

I had a Merkur Scorpio in my early 20's - I loved that car. Except, in midwest 110 degree heat, if you drove it too hard the drive shaft coupler (made out of a hard rubber) would fail. You’d hear something under the car give way, and pieces of rubber bouncing down the highway behind you in the rearview. I had this…

You can bake at a higher temp (450) and it will cook in a much shorter time without drying out, but check the temp regularly at different parts of the bird.

I treat my turkey the same way. I spatchcock (cut out the backbone) and lay it on a flat cookie sheet/baking pan, breaking the ribs to flatten it out. A great trick is to use a duck fat and herb mixture smearing under the skin. You can also use shortening or lard and I like to use butter on the skin. 

My turkey take for anyone that came to extol the virtues of turkey:

I’ve started to consistently wear Vans for the classic look, affordability, and they are more comfortable than the other minimal sneakers I’ve worn.

How is Subaru, the King/Queen of wagons not in this list? They perform amazingly well, have the whole wagon thing down to a science, and you can drive them into the ground.

I think I’d put a Porsche boxer engine in an Outback - it’d be crazy fun. 

My favorite car was my 1990 Lincoln Continental that I bought off of my parents around ‘95. I was fresh out of high school and had no business rolling around in that much luxury, but I had more fun in that thing than I’ve had in any other car since. A lot of that had to do with the ludicrousness of being young and…

I had one...super practical, somewhat meh, but I thought it was great until the Volvo/Ford bits mashup in the transmission started misbehaving. There was a known issue in the CVT (can’t remember what it was now) and three different Ford dealerships couldn’t make it go away...traded and got back into Subaru.

That classic white ute is a beaut’

Coming from KC and now living in the great white north of Maine where no one knows barbecue, I’ve found Sweet Baby Ray’s to be the best widely available at home sauce to use. It captures all the right notes without veering into strange territories.

All the more reason why the “spot” matters. Ron did this on a property not designated to handle this crap. Rules & regulations are in place for location of junkyards, etc. to help mitigate this kind of risk. Instead Ron likely contaminated his entire property affecting not only his immediate environment, but creating…

yeah, but you could have custom doors built for a standard chassis. Why customize the whole thing?

That was my thought too. Or $500 and come take your pick.

Just letting cars sit destroys the environment. The fluids all end up leaking into the ground contaminating the soil & water creating contaminated runoff for miles around. Add heavy metals (mercury, letc.) into that mix as well. Additionally, the A/C ends up leaking putting chloroflourocarbons into the atmosphere…

I do wonder when the oversized truck bubble will burst? I’d give anything to have small & midsize trucks (Ranger, Chicken tax models, etc.) that do the job more efficiently. My main concern is towing my camper, and I’d love to be able to do it in a more efficient package.
