LOL, I am also a ordained member of the order of Dudeism.  Was going to officiate a friends wedding in Virginia, found out they had a law specifically written to prevent “internet Ministers” from officiating.

Still true though. Either end it under green and follow all the rules, or red flag it.  Masi chose a little bit of this, and a little bit of that.  And that is horseshit.

If David teamed up with Derek from Vice Grip Garage, they could rule the earth.  Or at least the rusty parts of the earth.

I follow both on Twitter, I’m sure they will give updates there. Damn, this sucks, but looking forward to new project. David and Torch are the reason I have stuck around here, not saying I won’t still pop in, but damn, they will leave a big void.

Elon and Musk are two of my blocked words on Twitter.  He and his minions are insufferable.

I gotta say, the wheels look right sized to me. Big monster meats add little unless you are doing major suspension changes and a huge lift.

Hybrid Ford Maverick.  Seems like that checks all the boxes, with the possible exception of the next six months, since they are backordered as all hack.

I was replying to Dave C above, not to the article in general.

Eh. Waze for traffic is way better than the FM traffic guys. And I never listen to local news, radio or TV. Just preferences though, just not important to me, but I understand important to others.

2006 Saab 9-3 with the 2.8 L V6 turbo engine. Developed an oil leak behind the timing cover. Because of the tight packaging under the hood, the timing cover is just a hair’s width away from the frame rail.

Ducks are jerks, it’s well known.

Damn, that is seriously guilting me. I know where there is a 81 Lancia Zagato that needs saving, and I have stopped to check it out a few times. It’s all there, and not as rusty as one would expect. Seeing yours makes me think I should take the plunge and see if it can be restored to a weekend cruiser.

I have one preset programmed. Local NPR station. Besides NPR, why does anyone listen to over the air radio?

Hmm. I had a 1976 Mustang II as my first car in 1980.  I can’t verify the gymnast assertion, but I can tell you that you can with a varsity basketball cheerleader named Patty.

The ship building industry is not suffering. Yes they have some supply line issues, but the cost increases caused by those delays get passed on to the very wealthy companies (or individuals) contracting for the project. According to most reports, shipyards have enjoyed huge profits the last few years.

“Everyone” here includes the jackholes providing the commentary.  What the fuck is wrong with people?

Well, he might.  Doesn’t really change what I said. He still has a truck with a blown engine that hew has to deal with.

Not sure why the hate on her and what she is doing. The way her videos are edited together create unnecessary drama? Sure. So does every damn television show you watch. Is she doing it for the “clicks”? Yes, of course she is. She gets paid by YouTube based on that metric. Every YouTube creator builds drama or inserts…

I’m old enough with you, man! Who amongst us (of a certain age) has not had the pleasure of cranking a window up on a cold day, only to feel the pot metal handle strip against the splines?  Damn it!

People who value simplicity, and see luxuries like power windows as simply one more thing that will break.
