I’m particularly confused by the exposed washer fluid cap. I understand you don’t have a hood for your normal mechanicals access...but why just having it just sitting out like that?

Guess it all depends on the boat! I have a small bowrider (2003 Bayliner 175) with a Mercruiser 3.0. It ALWAYS needs something done. Sure, it works most of the time (except when the starter fails when I’m 40 minutes from home and I need a tow back to the launch). But twice a year I have to do the fuel filter (thanks…

I think you misunderstand the comparison. Boat’s don’t regularly have mechanical issues related to critical systems. Marine shit is by and large indestructible with regular maintenance. The issues he is referring to are probably related to having a 30 year old space that is mobile (similar to boats because those last…

There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with this 455. If I bought this thing, I think I’d look into a bolt on fuel injection system with O2 sensor feedback. If should give you better fuel economy, easier cold weather starting and lower emissions. This thing probably has a Rochester quadrajet with are pretty good as carbs…

Why the transverse v8? The GMC RV was longitudinal FWD, right? The LS4 is aluminum too, an iron 5.3 from a truck might work well if they bolt to the existing 3 speed transmission.  I don’t think these RVs could be repowered with a more modern transmission because of the layout is so rare at this scale.

Came here for just this reference. I can now be happy at work... for the next thirty seconds.

Who needs a bidet? Most campgrounds have a water hookup. Grab a hose and you can wash your ass off outside while enjoying nature!

An RV has two benefits over a boat though - parts to work on the engine and probably the suspension won’t be astronomically expensive, and, if you break down you can pretty much just stay there for a while until you fix it. An actual breakdown in a boat is an unbelievable nightmare. 

But this won’t sink (unless something’s gone very wrong).

A bit of Armour, a turret mounted gun and you’ve got yerself an Urban Assault Vehicle! (I’ve been waiting years to say this).

Unfortunately, it hasn’t stopped some connoiseurs of the noble bird from braving traffic with nothing but a wing and a prayer.

Presumably as said by Ms. Fowl

On a related note, can we talk about how brilliant it was that Tony Soprano drove the Jersey Turnpike in the intro, and specifically stopped to pay the toll in cash at the very start? It implied that he did that every week, at least. And of course as paranoid as he is about being watched/tracked, he doesn’t have an…

You do know Alabama and Clemson are playing for the national championship tonight.  That overturned truck was no accident.

True story. I once had to drive to North Dakota during a blizzard to rescue a truckload of frozen Butterball turkeys from a truck who had dropped more than half of them on the median while attempting to role over. After picking them up, we had to take them to a government facility to have them certified for continued…

The police have set up a road buh-bwaaak to further thwart hungry motorists.

Missing from the story: On the opposite side of I-35 a tanker filled with barbecue sauce flipped over.

This is the most Alabama thing I’ve heard since Judge Perv almost won a Senate seat.

“It fell off a truck.”
