Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To

I didn’t mean a van is a necessity, but that the van in its form of a twinkie on wheels is the best solution and there’s no real way to “modernize” it without losing part of its utility. You posted what basically looks like a cab-forward G-wagen and an Oscar-Meyer Weinermobile on steroids. The G-wagen thing is a cool

How are they not cool? The Safari is a cheap overlander, the VW is subjectively cool, the Odyssey is cool because it’s a pedestrian vehicle turned into a race car which is always nifty, and the Ford Sportsmobile... how do you not think a full-sized 4x4 overlander with a pop-up roof isn’t cool? That’s like the ultimate

That statement doesn’t even make sense. A van is the most efficient way to do van things. There is no alternative in many situations, and the “40+year old” comment is meaningless considering modern vans are just that; modern sheet metal on current platforms.

This is like saying “it’s the 21st century; we can do better

You are nuts

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad

There was one of these for $4500 on the local craigslist in near-showroom condition with a Chevy 350 under the hood. All the gauges worked, it drove beautifully. Sadly I had just made a bad decision on a 2005 Mustang or I would have gladly bought it. Dream car right there. Cams, heads, high-flow carb and that would

hnnng, trackball. I need to drag my 486 back out and play a rousing bout of Chip’s Challenge. 486DX-2 66/33 (dat turbo button), 12MB RAM, some random graphics card that I don’t remember the name of but it barely fits inthe case, SB16, Etherexpress16 NIC, 1GB IDE hard drive, MS-DOS 6 and WfW3.11

i have the dumbs. Thought one thing and typed another. Twice. Go me.

If it’s based on the Sunny then it can easily be done. AWD system from an AWD Nissan Sentra and the SR20DE from teh SE-R or SR20DET from the Silvia and you’d have a hell of a hoonmachine. And most of those parts bolt in like LEGO bricks.

Yeah, I did a derp. Been working on cars too much and messed up my metals.

I was aware the dream lifter as based on the 747, but without anything for scale it certainly looks smaller than the Beluga. Huh.

The clearance between the door and the top of the bed aroused me slightly. It’s so perfect.

These are built in my hometown at Spirit AeroSystems in Wichita KS. It’s quite fascinating, being one of few modern passenger jets to extensively use composite (such as carbon fiber) materials instead of traditional steel skin over steel superstructure. I got to watch the construction of enormous kilns that entire

LeBlanc was one of my favorite parts because he came so far out of left field and I never expected him to be as good as he was. The segment where he was driving the Ariel off-road from the paparazzi showed a very promising talent for off-the-cuff (or just very well-read scripted) remarks and jokes while doing some

As someone who has driven lots of 3000GTs and dailies a Buick:

You’re making *that* comment on a post about a six-figure Mercedes AMG GT

4 more cylinders = more sport.

I’ve given up on figuring out his logic.

Shit, my buddy bought a 2004 S600 V12 biturbo, black with the AMG package, off of Craigslist for $12k. So far he’s spent $4k in preventative maintenance (some weak points in the suspension, multiple oil and trans fluid flushes, full tune up [yes, all 24 spark plugs]) and modifications (meth injection, transmission

so I’m going to come over all Tavarish and legitimately ask: Why buy this when you could have a 10 year old S600 V12 biturbo for less than 1/10th the price? All the ameneties you could imagine, subdued styling that has held up very well, an enormous engine producing stupid amounts of go-go, a damn good sound, and room
