The first law of Jalopodynamics: Vehicle projects will expand to overfill all available space and time.

you may be a redneck if.....

If I’ve learned one thing here it’s that whatever your automotive problem is, it can be fixed by buying more shitty old cars.

1. Buy a ‘new’ tire and a new spare. Solved.
2. Get another XJ... What are the chances you will ever have *6* broken vehicles?

Don't listen to any of these idiots. Don't get rid of any of them. They are all on the verge of running. You won't get near what they're worth selling or junking them. Buy another one! Maybe a tow truck you can use to rescue your projects.

Came here to post this. The obvious solution to this “problem” is to purchase another sub-$1000 beater that’s a speed-bump away from ditching its entire undercarriage in spectacular fashion.

Life story of any gear head. I have 3 out of 4 of my cars running AND registered (a new personal best). I think this is the first time in my life that I could actually CHOOSE which car I want to take to work without too much risk of getting stuck.

I knew things were bad when you, the man who owns 4 Jeeps, bought that Honda Accord as your winter car.

This actually happened to my mom back in the early 60's, only it was my fault. I liked to draw, so I drew their Illinois license plate on cardboard and taped it onto their license plate so I could take a picture of it. It was actually a pretty good rendering too. Of course, being a kid with a 10 minute attention span,…

No worries. It’s Monday. I’ve left my coffee cup in three different places and it’s not yet 10:30. Gonna be a looooong day.

Gun nut? The guy in the car was being attacked, and rightfully, could fear for his life. Hes trapped and had a feont row seat. This shit is common place in Los Angeles. However where people legally can carry guns, society is FAR more polite. Others of us subscribe to the street code of “its better to have it and not…

You carry bricks in the center console of your car?

I had some moron throw coins at my car once while I was driving. I responded by throwing a brick at his car. He seemed to have ran out of coins after that.

Love the Doug articles. As always they are excellent and endlessly amusing.

This is the loophole! Its a non certified chassis and engine so its all exempt! everyone start buying retired NASCAR chassis’ and start welding on body panels!

throw that book in the trash as well as most smog laws and just test tail pipe emissions if the goal is less pollution from vehicles.

To be fair, none of those things you used as examples of amazing technology are 100% reliable. Some of it’s fairly unreliable on a day to day basis.

To drive the point home, earlier tonight I had a catastrophic structural failure in a pair of chopsticks I was using and those are literally just wood sticks.
