No one ever trains for these situations.

Structural engineer here. The fact that this is the largest of the 3 (apparent) braces running across the short axis of the car to stiffen the frame rails tells me it has the most load on it (yes real engineering-ish). I’m having a hard time orienting the pictures with each other but regardless: corners are always the…

Why do women insist on asking questions to which they know they are unlikely to like the answer?

I’m in complete agreement with you. I do this all the time. I spot something and decide it’s not worth saving so I smash it more. Old lady’s house with the falling in porch, smashed. That old desk sitting by a uhaul, smash. That lawnmower looks like it don’t run right, smash. A person with late stage cancer, smash.…

When I see people carving their names in things at national parks and I confront them they always have the same excuse “well other people did it!” to which I respond “Moron, there are 15 names carved there. 1.5 million people visit this park annually. That means 1.5 million people -minus 15- aren’t as selfish as you.”

While being buried up to almost the roofline like that means it probably was going to get written off by insurance anyway, the fuck gives some asshole in a douchebro truck the right to feel like it’s ok to drive over the top of it? And that lamesauce excuse of “Well... we weren’t the first or the last to do it...”…

As long as Torch’s wife’s nickname for him isn’t two-stroke he’s good.

From the article re: factory order only

“It’s ok guys. It was a white car. It was merely foraging.... not looting like those black cars”

Good thing it wasn’t a black car

People will laugh that you are a minivan mom, then you will open the rear hatch, push a button to collapse everything in the interior, and proceed to effortlessly fill your new cave. This will make everyone who bought a crossover envious that, well, minivans just do everything really, really well. Compared to…

Just Buy The Minivan

I think we are done here.

YOU HAVE A CORD 812

When I think of what’s remarkable about today’s cars, it’s not that they’re making ridiculous horsepower compared to cars from a decade ago, and it’s not even that they get pretty decent gas mileage either.

My 1937 Cord 812 Custom Beverly has this setup as well. Endless fun getting it dialed in.. Also, since it is based on limit switches and not any sort of feedback, you can be at speed in 4th, engage the clutch, pre-select 2nd, and release to have all sorts of unbelievable damage occur..

How have you been alive the last 6 years and not heard of the Hudson Hornet? Pixar much?

It was. The thing that genuinely chaps my arse is the fact that I pride myself on being an honest mechanic. I don’t recommend shit that does not need being done. When I suggested that you do something, it was because it needed to be done. I do not believe in gouging a customer. I loved what I did and was damn good at…

Sweet mother of God that’s sexy. Only thing I’d change is to get period correct rims, but you autox it so it makes sense.

You’re doing the Lord’s work sir.
