For a short period back in 2008 I had an '89 F150 that I was going to turn into a pre-runner. I swapped in stiffer springs from an F250 in the front to get rid of the sagging, but I never went full bore like I planned.

I'm not sure if anyone on this site keeps up with Supercross or motocross but a few years ago James Stewart got in trouble for doing this. Coincidentally, hes a Florida native so I think your reasoning stands.

When I got serious about cycling last year I realized it would be wise to write down the serials of my two bikes. They're nothing special (a 15 year old Trek 720 and a 2006 Giant Yukon) but I have put a lot of money and sweat into modifying them with bettera components.

Or the manufacturers of the wacky, waving, arm flailing, inflatable tube men! Oh, think of the wacky, waving, arm flailing, inflatable tube men.

Do I win or something? I already drive a cheap, crappy car. Yuss!

At least I think you might have been referencing this.

At a Coyotes game I went to when I was visiting my dad in Arizona, they had one dollar beers that night. Granted they were 8 oz little cups, for 5 bucks you could get the equivalent of 3 regular 12 oz beers. The only caveat; You could only get two of them at a time. My solution was to go to each concession counter and…

The new thing is single speed cars. No transmission or differential, just a straight drive with a 1:1 ratio. And no brakes!

If I were collecting for myself, eBay would be the route I would take. My dad is a stickler for doing things the old fashioned way so the only way he would be getting more plates are if they were ones he previously had on a vehicle, with the exception of the old NC plates, which were my grandfathers on his old tricked…

My dad collects them from all the places he has lived in (Baja California, CA, NC, TX and AZ) but same sort of idea as what you have going. I found a couple of 80s vintage North Carolina plates in my grandparent's garage that I mailed him a few years back.

It's all good dude. There's little pun threads like this that occur fairly often. I don't usually get in on the action early enough to actually contribute because usually all the jokes are exhausted or I come across the thread the next day.

You could have told me this factory was in Portland and I wouldn't have known any different.

Yeah, I'd hate to be around when everything comes to a head and explodes.

I'm not one to regularly be a dick, but I think you missed the punchline of this conversation. Things just really went limp fairly quickly.

My grandmother, who forever looks at me as the automobile guru, wanted me to diagnose a stutter at idle she was having with her 2005 Explorer (with the 4.0L SOHC V6). My first thought was fuel delivery (injectors, pump, lines), IACV or maybe throttle body. It could have been any number of things, really. The worst…

He will probably face some pretty stiff penalties, like fines and such.

Woody! Woody Harrelson....

I don't want to point out the gist of the joke, as it will make me seem racist.

But their writing Shakespeare. How is that racist? If anything its a compliment.
