I can chime in on prices - Head was dealership (and still listening to my Dad whenever he said that ‘that car’s got a lot of value in it, you don’t want to mess that up by half-assing it’). CV shaft was not dealership but it was done at a local shop. I was thrilled with the price because I thought the front transfer…

It’s the Canyonero Edition. Super rare. Outlawed in some states in fact.

FYI - bucket seats in trucks started in 1966 with the ‘Ranger’ option on Ford trucks. They put two buckets out of a Mustang along with a console between them. To cover the fuel tank - which used to be in the cab - they built a curtain over it.

Yes - for the love of God, yes!. I’m fixing a truck from the 60's. I can actually fit a 4X8 flat in the bed between the wheel wells. It is amazing and exactly how all of this should be.

Maybe not the thread/time/place but for me it is buying the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee off my mom. That thing was an absolute lemon. Bought it at 82,000mi for around $18k - felt like a sweetheart deal that Mom gave me.

I’m shocked (pardon the pun) to see Deadspin giving props to a Gregg with that many G’s in his name. Just didn’t think that was what you all did here.

You’re not going to make a DTracy of us here with this one. The majority of us know that Grand Cherokee means Crap Quality. If the pig is already rusting on top, imagine what it’s doing underneath. I’ve owned two of these, the last one being a 2005 that had the same body as this one. With fuel, depreciation,…

Never forget that a new car is a commodity - the same one can be had across the street, town, county, state, country. But that used car, that’s a much more unique animal sitting in front of you. Online comparisons and shopping have made things look much less unique, as you mention in your article Tom, but each of…

I don’t know if I would call it harsh, but it sure was heavy. They were poor to the point of disbelief compared to modern ways of life - no indoor bathrooms or heat beyond the woodstove in the kitchen, by hand planting and harvesting an acre of potatoes to ensure you had food, old clothes and older cars/trucks. And…

+1 set of heal lifts in cowboy boots to you.

What was the type of business he ran? I’m absolutely intrigued by this approach to his team and company.

Yes. Don’t fuck with the angry pixies.

You know - my maternal grandpa - who I never met - sat my mom down when she was 7 in the early sixties and told her “you have to work hard in school and go to college so you can avoid being poor like we are.”

My old farmer of a Grandpa dropped a 50 lb salt block on his big toe when he was about 75. Wouldn’t go to the doctor until it swelled up so big he couldn’t get his boots on.

+1 Liverwurst and Scrapple breakfast to you.

If it’s on a person and just loose glitter (not in some sort of spray or sticky medium) - air compressor. Plus, you’re outside using it so it gets it out of the house as well.

Would need to be on a British ship to get the Grog.

I mean, you have it right in your article that we’ve found these in fish and we know what fish do in water right?

You did, as did I. What a horrible situation.

Yep - this may be an addendum to the KC Hyatt collapse or more like the Hyatt meets Minneapolis 35W and possibly some Tacoma Narrows. Such a tragedy that this happened. The thing collapsed in DAYS - completely unacceptable.
