what was that diesel powered offroad car thing you guys had on here a long time ago - it’s going to drive me nuts... I’m googling so hard right now but my word brain isn’t working.

It’s was, is, and always will be the Del Mar Fair. Not the san diego county fair. If you call it the Del Mar Fair people will be nicer to you because you’ll sound local.

My dad (first gen navy nuke) had a weird old headset in his toolbox - when I asked what it was he laughed and said it was his “bone phone”. I think it’s from the early 70's

Gaslamp is overrated.

at that price i wonder if you can take the lcd out, get a display adapter and use is it as a monitor. Works with ipad screens - haven’t found a display controller for it yet, googling my way through it.

i think its more about load distribution than having lil bunnies ricocheting off it - if they hit something beefy it’s going to spread the impact across the entire width by the looks of it.

 just wait til you see the hagerty quote for the tumbler

i cant help but bat my eyelashes at the stinger in that neat blue color, white looks great too. Black and red are the less interesting colors to me.

heh I miss all my fieros. In highschool auto shop I swapped a cadillac v8 (4.9 pfi not the northstar) and it was monstrous lol. 4500rpm redline lets gooooo

I stopped going. Alfred gets wasted and tries to pinch my batnipples.

It’s not offensive, but it is making people lazy. Working with college students today you quickly realize that many are unable to form complete sentences on their own. Autocomplete isn’t helping - it’s also getting depressing when reviewing resumes and cover letters from recent graduates that only passed the “none of

I know it isn’t, but I like to think that somewhere a guy said “dude what if we did a prius? wouldn’t that be hilarious?” and everyone high fived and people clapped.

meanwhile at work, employees are demanding we remove their new 4k monitors in favor of a pair of 22" 1080p displays because “they need more room”

I don’t care if it’s there, but it needs to be optional. More and more of these “features” become mandatory. Ever tried to use ssh into a network server using a device that won’t let you disable predictive bullshit?

it doesn’t look like a prius though, so steps in the right direction

Does anyone ever like the look of the Prius? I’m over the Prius hate as long as they don’t go 50mph locked into the passing lane, but I just... can’t imagine anyone seeing any generation of Prius and thinking “Man that looks great”. The best I can conceive of is “it looks better than the old ones”.

Can you imagine being the one to hit putin with your car? You’d disappear so fast.

it’s basically a shelby cobra.

That carb throttle response though. Once everything is juuuuuust right it’s great for at least 20 minutes of driving.
