he did the structure right, but then painted it black and did a bunch of customizations, like those god awful headlights, lowering and custom wheels.

here is a photo from when it was auctioned by the government after being seized from the owner at the time.

obviously you have never watched “Graveyard Carz” where the guy finds a (literal) pile of rust with a VIN tag and a matching engine block, cuts out the VIN tag and block, builds an entirely new car from NOS & repro parts and a donor chassis, has the block acid dipped and rebuilt, spot welds in the VIN tag and then…

I don’t really have a problem with this but I wish he’d picked one of the uglier ones.

Mercedes had this in 2013, volvo in 2015.

most likely it will be in charter service when he isn’t using it. this is an investment, not a personal toy.

at a minimum he would be able to cover the nut and upkeep by chartering it.

deport the chinese, default on the debt, finish the railway themselves.

in many cases the head actually warped, which required a new head (or at least milling the old one) in neither case would the do the work under warranty or recall. their answer was, and I quote, “maybe if you weren’t so poor, you could have bought a better car”

first gen dodge neon.

fist of all it was a penalty box to drive. uncomfortable seats, vague steering, mushy shifter (at least it had a stick, the one redeeming feature), terrible suspension, loud.

all this shit happened before 80,000 miles: the fuel filler neck rusted out at (w t .... F), cylinder head warped (fuck…

this fucker belongs in jail. as does Tang. I understand why canada won’t bother to extradite (if the US has even asked for it) but I am glad Tang’s “life in NY was ruined” let him kill canadians with his stupidity.

they were mutually abusive, both physically and verbally. who started the abuse? does it matter? why did either one stay with the other once the abuse began?

I mean, sure, Musk is a putz, but OTOH, fuck Twitter.

voight-kampf is basically an empathy test.  I know plenty of “humans” who would fail.  all members of Trump World for instance.

I live in NH and daily I see pickups and jeeps lifted to the stratosphere and with tires sticking 4+ inches outside the bodywork. I also regularly see stance-bro cars so low they are throwing sparks and bouncing off their undercarriage like an F1 car in a night race with the tops of their bumpers about 8" off the…

There already is a federal bumper height standard (which factory delivered F-150's meet and honda civics are engineered around, read up on their ACE crash framework)

more like he was suspended with pay by his team. he had “demanded” a trade but never got to the hold out phase before the team told him to take a chair. they also only paid the injury guarantee, not the full pay he would have earned had he played, in order to preserve the Texan’s contract rights so they could get some…

it’s time to mandate (and enforce) a standardized bumper height for all vehicles.

precedent - people convicted of multiple felonies for beating their wives nearly to death on video got 6 weeks.

so megan markle’s lying sister is a liar? shocking.

Anything we can do to get more manufacturing of any sort going in this country is a win.  even most of the things we do “manufacture” in this country are just final assembled from mostly foreign made parts these days.

not really about reliable, its about cheap and good enough. Also, they tend to design one box and use it for 20+ years for control electronics.
