I have driven a lot of farm implements but I don’t know if that counts.

ND. I used to want on of these SO bad. But modified Subaru’s are a roll of the dice, with the house winning most of the time.

Jalopnik cannot spell or do simple math. 

I’d have to go with the ‘78 Dodge Magnum. Sharp and stylish, with a powertrain that is extremely easy to upgrade (yes, a 440 will fit under the hood easily!).

I BURN WITH DESIRE

I see, I had much the same thoughts about why the fasteners stripped out. I may have phrases it badly but I was wondering if things like alloy or thread pitch, angle and shape could have influenced why they got stuck. Like how pressure fittings can get stuck because the threads are basically triangular in section so…

Well that’s a pretty solid accomplishment to add to the resume. Congrats!

I’m so considerate, I fold them back down and push them in for them when I pass in a parking lot.

Still part of Big Screw

Yeah, I may show that to my retired machinist father. He'll probably get a good half hour's entertainment explaining to me how he'd go about making it and/or what they did wrong.

A heavily corrosive environment

Stainless steel bits are an off the shelf product for use in wet, surgical, marine, and contamination risk environments. They undergo cryogenic hardening to give them reasonable durability. 

They shoulda used this

Looking at their Screwdriver rig they do have a Machinist on staff. That has all the blocky look of carve it out of billet with a manual machine. Complete with some Allen Head screws which machinists love.

Up to 500 leaves a lot of mileage, like 500 of them

You know what? When you count on ABS and just mash the pedal, that’s exactly what happens. When you mash the brakes without ABS, the same thing happens. But when you threshold brake and don’t flat spot your tires by locking them up, you tend to stop in a straight line.

I can see this real life story being used in some movie where the only guy who survives a plane crash was the one who was inconvenienced by being stuck in the lavatory, which acted as a kind of safety bubble. And then from there... I don’t know what. More stuff happens.

Found the Narc
