The thing you need to understand about David is, he’s just... wired differently. He lives for these quests.
Of course it's for the clicks. His literal job is to tell stories on the internet. So if he just wrote "I bought a car, put it on a trailer, towed it home, and nothing eventful happened," nobody would read it.
I started my career at a big daily newspaper. I learned to be a journalist in the trenches with people who were…
Bridgekeeper: STOP! Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.
David Tracy: Ask me the questions, Bridgekeeper. I am not afraid.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your name?
David Tracy: My name is David Tracy.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
David Tracy: To seek the…

I both love and hate LA. I really doubt I’m alone with these feelings
You don’t need to cut up fenders. Take one he has made and splash it to make a mold. This shape is super easy to make a mold of and once done you can make new ones as one piece in fiberglass or wet lay up carbon if you want.
Wow, “Ok boomer,” really works.
Oh man. I just listened to David Obuchowski’s podcast on this TODAY. I don’t think I can take more of that vile shit.
Gotta get the Kenwood with the 40 second anti skip!
I got my first one of these in 1997 or thereabouts and it was a life changer. I couldn’t afford a CD deck, and I was sick to death of dubbing CDs to tape and/or making mix tapes. I had a Discman with the “anti-shock” tech that was dying to be used. I paired that with a cigarette lighter adapter so I didn’t have to…
I used one a bit in the early 90s when my dad first bought a portable CD player (in Hong Kong for $200, about half the price of US retail). We very quickly went to the FM modulator, which was much easier but didn’t have as good sound quality. But in a small town, we got very little interference.
When I finally sold my 1989 Mercury Sable GS, it still had the Velcro stuck on the dash to attach whichever CD player I had at the time. Went through 4-5 of them over the life of the car and it ended with an iPod. I remember the first “car” discman of mine with a whopping 8-seconds of skip protection. The last one I…
I got my driver’s license toward the end of the 2000s, but even I caught on with the car cassette adapter. All my…

Thank you for your support of Deadspin. Deadspin is dead, long live Deadspin.
I had a master plan for today, but it did not go quite as planned. That’s OK. That’s what blogging is about. You…
That body and chassis is mint! And the interior is rather nice. The sagging headliner is no biggie. There’s tons of instructions how to fix that on disco or RRC.
I’m currently restoring 86 RRC. I’ve replaced driver sills bodym0unts and their supports most of the floor and still needs to do the rear crossmember and the…
Don’t worry about oil, battery and brake light. Lights will go out when started and moving (hopefully lol) or code on radio (you may find that in a handbook) if not they are easily unlocked by a dealer or eBay.
I’m just very very sad for Deadspin. That site introduced me to all of the other Kinja sites, many of which including Jalop also became favorite reads. I hope (in order):
