Cool is relative, but Dad still has his 1970 Triumph Spitfire Mk. III he bought new in 1969. So that should count for something.

He had an Impala Sport Coupe before that. He has a 1957 Healey BN2 we need to restore. He dailies a 2.0 turbo Jaguar XF.

Mom had a 1974 LTD 4-door hardtop with the 460 CID V8. That was pretty…

I am a Euro mechanic by profession, and use this quite a bit for its electrical section. I actually have paper copies of all these wiring diagrams, but it’s easier to punch in a url than walk to the shelf and find them.

identifix.com is my other go-to. Short of information for a depressing amount of stuff…

I am a long-time Jaguar owner, and just can’t recommend the F-Type. Mainly because I think I still have spinal damage from when I test drove one.

Maybe as a second car. Maybe.

Chevy Beretta + 4-digit price = crack pipe.

45-year-old white dude here:

If somebody correctly says “This group does bad things” and you get offended, maybe you should admit you are in that group. Doesn’t just hold for wypipo, either.

But holy crap, do we do a lot of whining about this stuff. Theater, particularly this kind of theater, isn’t only there to make…

Vote in the primaries for the best candidate. Vote in the general for the one who isn’t Trump. Vote in state and local elections. Get involved in a campaign. Write your congressperson. Write your senators. Write your state and local officials.

And when they screw up, vote them out.

Chicks dig scars, bro.

Or so I have been told.

The pictured gun is a Saginaw. Legacy stages all their photos the same way. If you look at the forearm, you can tell it’s a different gun.

GM built over half the US contract M1 carbines made.

Not a Cybertruck fan, eh?

Let me say this first: I am not a Jeep person. Have never owned one. I am not a truck or SUV person. Have never owned one.

But having been in a fairly posh high school from 88-92, these things hit all the nostalgia buttons. Several of my classmates drove XJ Cherokees, with parents in SJ Wagoneers. Admittedly, even then…

“Perhaps”?

Racist trash gonna racist trash.

My 504 hubcaps were held on with a single stainless steel bolt in the center of the cap that threaded into the center of the wheel.

I never did figure out how the tyre guys were supposed to balance those things.

Can I be extra stupid and bolt a Saab 9-3 exhaust manifold and turbo to the back of the engine?

Look, not all shows can be Coronation Street.

This is why my wife and I have almost every Disney and Pixar animated feature on DVD or Blu-Ray. Streaming is certainly more convenient (Movies Anywhere has been great), but if the internet goes out? Yeah. We also have all but one of the Walt Disney Treasures, and most of Studio Ghibli’s classics.

No ‘Journey of Natty Gann’? A.V. Club, I am disappointed. That is a Disney deep cut. Far more than a cartoon based on the most popular Marvel comic of all time.

I have been both a Jaguar owner and professional Jaguar mechanic for decades now, and I will state without reservation that the X-Type is the worst pile of feces Jaguar ever sold. Worse, even, than the 1988 XJ.

However, I am glad you are happy with yours. There had to be at least one good one out there.

Hell yes it’s a shelf. It’s where I keep all the stuff that won’t fit in cabinets but isn’t used frequently enough to live on the counter top; mostly the crock pot and pressure cooker, but there’s some other stuff too. If that’s not a shelf, then I don’t know what it is.
