This may sound contrarian, but I think that these Jeeps are on much too good shape for a Tracy project. Go find something crappier.

Winter in NJ, 1977 or so. It snowed about a foot three days before. My friend, Larry is laid up with bronchitis and his 1969 GTX needs a new clutch. While he sat in his living room, shouting instructions out his window, I laid in freezing slush for at least 7 hours performing said repairs. I remember those times

I had a great time when I used to hang with the lowered mini-truck crowd. My son and I rehabilitated a Dodge Ram 50 (Mitsubishi) pickup, cut the springs and went hooning.

Can’t wait to see a body shop repair quote for a quarter-panel in this color. Total loss?

There’s a lovely green-yellow-white combination I saw on a Lexus. I’m torn between calling it Sputum, Phlegm or Loogie.

I won’t pay one dime extra for a special color. I hate silver, but my last two vehicles were silver because it’s what they had. On the plus side, it’s easy to disappear in traffic.

Our very first new car was a 1985 Chevette. It had no acceleration, brakes were tentative at best, handled like a shopping cart, was noisy, didn’t get great gas mileage and was not comfortable to ride in. The only thing it didn’t do was break down.

See Steve Lehto’s commentary on RVs:

Imma go with the NP. This excellently maintained example of the breed is worth the ask.

Nope. It’s a Dayco Top Cog.

I believe the posters glum expression is because it’s a SlantSix.

Doesn’t benefit everybody?

I’ve been to figure-eight enduro races that had fewer collisions that! This track seems set up well for a drift race, though.

The math checks out!

They can have my Keurig when they pry it from my cold, dead hands!

Mine:

The carrying ship floods until its deck is lower that the keel of the ship its transporting. Once the ships are situated correctly, they pump out the flooded compartments and the ship rises.

I have mobility issues and I don’t want a trike. However, when I get to where I’m going, how do I walk away from the bike? I could probably strap a lightweight wheelchair to the trike.
