Yep, this always gets the natives going. Soldering is great IF you know EXACTLY what you’re doing. This means trained. Just because you soldered your slot cars together as a kid or your brother in law the plumber showed you how to sweat copper pipe, you are not qualified to make good solid reliable soldered…

Exactly.

Wrong. Crimped.

I can’t imagine a place less dumb than Texas. Didn’t Texans coin the phrase, “Hey, hold my beer and watch THIS!”?

“You are awesome... You do “crazy things” which are really actually just what anyone would have done 25 years ago.”

You don’t have to do anything but if they are decent and do a good job I will typically tip 10 bucks or so. I’ve also had dipshit drivers and they don’t even get “Have a good day”...

We’ll be here, waiting with baited breath...

In answer to the question posed in the subject line: Yes. Especially after getting buzzed by the perp right afterwards.

No, Toyota is NOT going to hire Chinese henchmen. They’re gonna get retired Sumo wrestlers...

I like how the lead picture shows an illegally parked BMW 2002 with its hood up. Do you get extra points for those details? Or is it just a 2002 that’s not parked in a garage and thus might actually run?

Having spent many years working in the design, development and production of military aircraft head-mounted displays (HMD’s), I know 2.5 mil is a good start to fund the design and development process. There is no way they were going to actually deliver real hardware on that. Some other posters have alluded to more…

This is why we come back to Jalopnik. I love this story!

Veddy, veddy cool. I gotta ask: How much?

Beat me to it. I mean...

I’m thinkin’ he meant steering WHEEL cuz that is one big ass wheel.

Yeah, I totally get your point. My sister’s brother in law (that’s her husband’s sister’s husband, still with me?) owned a string of upscale wimmins clothing stores in SoCal so he had considerable disposable income. Some time in the early 90's he got the supercar investment bug and bought ... lessee ... a Testarossa,…

Yeah, those are bad-ass too. I saw one at Laguna Seca track day. Holy fuckin’ shit!

I agree, the SC is probably the best sounding real production car ever. Yeah, yeah, several Eyetalian cars probably sound better but a coupla hundred cars isn’t really full scale like the SC. I remember the first one I heard being properly caned...

I was actually shocked, Shocked I tell you, the E-Jag DHC wasn’t already posted. I get the Chryslers (gotta ride Tavarish) and the other Euro trash but to post The Best Lookin’ Car ever after about 500 other posts? Absolutely criminal...

My work is done here. Have a great weekend!
