Because people are stupid and lazy. I told my brother to secure the dog carrier in the bed of his truck. He insisted it’s impossible for it to fly out. I told him he was wrong. Later that week I asked where the dog crate was. At about 70 the crate achieved liftoff and flew out the bed of the truck. Luckily it didn’t…

The correct move would be to hit the mattresses and deal with minor damage. That said, human reactions are pretty hard to overcome, and the natural one is to swerve. Here in Minnesota we had trouble with baby ducks crossing the interstate this year. The state patrol was imploring people to just hit the ducks instead…

1. SECURE YOUR SHIT. An innocent person died horribly because some one didn’t secure their shit. Mattresses are huge and unwieldy as it is, so extra caution should’ve been taken to begin with

Does the UAW not realize how good their pay is compared to non-union auto plants

Thank you, friend! It’s my first time shopping for a vehicle on my own, and didn’t realize it could be fairly stressful! LOL

Awesome! I was more of a “muscle car” kind of guy even though there were plenty of imports both Japanese and European that my inner teenager drooled over.

Have you seen the hats?

It’s kind of funny to look back on since hindsight is 20/20 but when I was in high school and The Fast and the Furious was all the rage with kids buying up all sorts of Japanese cars (all those damn riced up Civics and Accords and Integras!) ...it seems like the media really hyped up our perception of what “fast” cars…

That reminds me of when I bought a 40” LED TV from Best Buy and after paying for it when to pull my car up while they brought it out front. I was still driving my first car: an ‘88 Pulsar.

That’s what I was thinking, or incarceration even.

Yeah the flip side to my story is the times I was pleasantly surprised by the capacity if a car that I had underestimated. Case in point: I was in the will call office when a customer walks in. He hands a receipt to the receptionist, who prints me an order. It’s a washer/dryer set with pedestals. I jump on my clamp,…

People are always shocked with how much I can fit in my little elantra GT hatchback. I fit a queen size futon, mattress and all one time with just a little sticking out, tied the hatch down.

Those at least have the 200hp DOHC engine but they’re still 3200 lb all show poser mobiles. I drove a 97 VR4 back in 2001 and it was a rocket... so if you want a 3kgt go VR4 or don’t bother, the NA FWD version is just a sad teaser.

So true on this one! I’ve seen an SL model that’s quite affordable but I’m flip-flopping on whether to consider getting it or finding something else that may be quicker.

I’ve yet to get to use it much, but the biggest advantage thus far is it doesn’t want to throw your knuckles into the nearest metal object when your holding it in a less than ideal position. I’ll likely get some more time with it this weekend as far as testing power and tight spaces (tighter than an impact gun would…

#7 reminds me of working will call at a large appliance warehouse. People constantly overestimate what they can fit into a car. Someone showed up with a kia spectra hachback to pick up a 26 cubic foot fridge. No I will not tie it to your roof. The best one was a lady showed up with a Saab convertible to pick up a 70”…

I’ve been a total sucker for it since they went back to that can design for the Jaws anniversary.

Trust me, you’re gonna drop some nuts and bolts, so:

I started with a Craftsman mechanic’s tool set, approximately 150 dollars on sale around Christmas and I’ve been using it for 12 years. Free replacements on anthing I break is great. It had sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers, Allen wrenches, etc.

One way to save money is start with a metric socket set with 1/4 through 1/2 ratchets unless you are wrenching 70’s or older cars with SAE fasteners.
