This comment is going to take the standard Jalop on a rollercoaster of emotions.

I’m a recent victim of car theft, and an itching enthusiast.

And rolled through multiple stops, also in the parking lot.

Damn, these are amazing and inspirational! I had considered doing one of my own and I still might, most of the vehicle-centric children’s books here are kind of horrible. (Except Mike Mulligan & His Steam Shovel, which is some of the most beautiful art ever.)

It’s too damned big. Seeing a modern wrangler next to an original and it appears to be the bovine growth hormone equivalent of today’s monstrous, stupid children.

To us fellow car people id agree to the masses not really. My dads e46 33oci he bought for less than 3k still gets comments from people that he must be loaded or that must have cost lots. Usally ends up being worth less than their 4 year old Kia.

He’ll be sleeping with the Fishbeds tonight.

If he hadn’t died, I bet that deer wouldn’t cervidae in jail.

Its painful to even look at this magnificent irreplaceable structure.

If it was his time to go, he could have at least taken the time to say bison.

You don’t even realize how much you swear in the military, until you’re at home with the family. “How’d you like dinner, Daryl?” “It was fucking outstanding, Mom. You nailed that motherfucking meatloaf that that bitch owed you goddamned money.” Family stares at me in silence and horror. “It was great, Momma. I loved…

Finally a word of reason. Either do it right (sand it, de-rust it, paint it) or just cover up as cheap as possible (foil-coat it).

As a person that grew up in a family that owned 3 body shops at the same time, I’ll offer some free (priceless) advice:

This thing is from Sacramento, and cars don’t rust in CA. I live in the South (where cars also don’t rust) and can buy better examples for half the price. For $4k, I can get one which is basically flawless.

Fantastic. Looks like a beautiful book.
