I find it hilarious and sad that a 12v lithium 48v drop-in battery replacement set costs 3-4 times more than the Chang-li itself. But it’d be an awesome test to see how much better performance you would get from them.

Freeman, huh? Just throw in a crowbar and you’ll be set for the apocalypse.

No, you’re fine.

Yeah, it’s really sad to see such desperation for fame. There’s been a couple of houses in my neighborhood which fall under similar problems whether it was for porn, yt, or ultra-budget reality. Always turns out poorly. But it seems like an unending supply of goers.

You might have seen Raymond Burr as Ironside, a fairly popular show during the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Quincy Jones did the title theme music for that show.

I hear the tire guys in Minneapolis are busy; maybe the fragile cops could switch professions?

Most excellent!

It’s a Vega. I already tried 3 times. 3rd time was the charm and I’ve sworn off. Hot pass.

Had to do this in my friends old ‘70s era Ford 4wd beater. Except it had a bad clutch so we had to do it 2nd. That was a bit of an effort but not too bad since 1st was a granny gear anyways. In my ‘78 Fiesta, it was pretty easy since the car was sooo light to begin with. I miss that car. It was totally puntable.

Aayyy, you could be a Trump campaign speechwriter!

Clearly, pizza is involved but the hoodoo there has yet to be discovered. I mean, pasta and pizza, they’re like hand and glove.

Geez. That’s amazing considereing BaT sold that black LotusEsprit for just over 20K a few days ago.....

Maybe. If I got it started. In my fleet of Chevettes (for delivery purposes) we had 6 of which 2 had bad starters and had to carry broom sticks to hit the starter solenoids to get them to turn over. By comparison, the Malibus were way better, not to mention that they had real A/C except they used v8s so gas was rough.…

At certain Chinese vegetarian restaurants, one can order “shrimp” based dishes which are supposed to emulate true shrimp dishes. For instance, shrimp and snow peas are a popular combination. Some restaurants do better at replicating the flavor and textures so it is possible to find it. Sometimes a braised fish version…

Saddest thing I ever saw and heard. Fairly overweight patient who was on a prescribed weight loss diet and maintenance plan went back to Pennsylvania and was called out for being a health freak when she met up with her entire extremely overweight family. Extremely overweight as in having the literal shelf butt and…

Yeah, like some of the commenters have noted, taking photos of the disassembly process is super good for the reassembly process. I used to be able to do it by disassembling onto a table but that quite often takes a lot more room. It’s especially the case if an offending part(s) need to be rebuilt and it won’t happen…

Disagree. The Chevette was the literal bomb by comparison. That thing was the Vegas’ still-steaming turd. The Vega was bad but the Chevette was frighteningly bad. I got to drive the 4speed Vega, the auto notchback, and the GT. Also drove the Chevette auto which had basically GMs 4 wheel version of the death wobble…

But they’re MY batteries. No one else’ batteries. And I take Care of My Batteries. Unlike all those other people who don’t. So there. 

Pretty sure that most thieves will just take the whole car. Just like they tend to do with ICEs nowadays. If they’re like the small time parts jackers, they’re not interested in moving a heavy battery. They’ll go for easily removable items like they still do with ICE vehicles.

Niiiiceee!
