Fly-head air cleaner on a carbureted small block chevy.  Over time the foam deteriorates (or with one good backfire just gets obliterated) and little bits fall into the engine.  Thankfully caught it before too much of it got sucked up but man, what a terrible design.

Forget the dirt bike, You have got a Rotivator!!!!!!!!

It may be a defense to criminal liability, but as far as injured third parties go, any agreement the driver has with Tesla are between the driver and Tesla. At most, the driver might have to indemnify Tesla, but if they’re insolvent, Tesla will have to pay its share of the damages.

My whole life my concern was more what happens to the various insects in their new location.

Some time ago I had a 1994 Subaru Legacy that had a bad starter. I grabbed a replacement from the junkyard and installed it and everything was fine.

Bed toppers on pickups. I know... by putting a topper on the bed, you just make a van with a higher load floor. Whatever. I like the way pickups look with a topper. Especially regular cab, 2WD versions of boxy 1990's Ford pickups. My grandpa had a long bed, regular cab F-150 Eddie Bauer 2wd with Green over Tan paint
