This absolutely looks like a scene out of an 80s movie where one of the characters is a Vietnam vet with PTSD.

Point of fucking order: That $5/day wage was a SCAM. First of all, to qualify for it, you had to allow Ford sociologists to inspect your home to ensure that you weren’t living in circumstances that Ford considered “improper.” You know, not living in sin, your wife (because fuck if they were going to allow women on the…

In the mid-90s a shop built their version of what a then new Dodge Ramcharger should look like (this was some years after Dodge stopped selling them in the US). It looked more like a factory built version than this does. Not to say that this is horrible (though I don’t get the love of leather seats people have,…

Anybody remember when Ford announced that they were going to sell rebadged Mazdas as Mustangs? That didn’t exactly go over well with fans. Can’t imagine too many Challenger fans would have been all that fond of Dodge doing something similar with an Alfa Romeo.

If you’re having trouble getting a doctor seeing you when you live in a state with lax gun laws, I think I have a solution to your problem...

Ages ago, I had a job working second shift, and I used to drive past a parked police car where the officer was obviously taking a nap while on duty. For a while I thought about doing something to scare the bejeebus out of him, then I realized that so long as he was sleeping, he wasn’t harming anyone, so I never did…

Cars from that era a particularly easy to hotwire. Not that I’m saying anything, I’m just saying that if someone showed up at my door with that car, I’d know where to store it.

One wonders how this compares to what Charles and Andrew have paid for escorts.

In the early 90s, I can remember an ad that showed a pic of some rugged off-road location and said, “Come on, are you REALLY going to drive your $50K SUV here?” Point being, that most people who plunk down a sizeable chunk of change for an SUV probably aren’t going to do anything more than get groceries with it, since…

The Tucker Talisman. https://kustomrama.com/wiki/Tucker_Talisman

I’m a machinist by trade, and one thing that just floors me is hearing machinists talking about all the work they have to do on their brand new Harleys because of how they come from the factory. I don’t mean tweaks to improve the performance of the bikes, but pulling off things like the oil pump cover and re-machining…

Why is everyone just calmly driving along after the plane hits and bursts into flames? I look in my rearview mirror and see something like that, I’m fucking flooring it.

There are certainly very few situations where I’d consider calling the cops. YMMV.

Ever dealt with an untreated schizophrenic having a bad episode? Speaking from experience, there will come times when you have no idea of what they will do, but it’ll almost certainly be violent. My ex ripped a door off its hinges and tried to beat me with it one night when she was having a particularly bad episode. I…

I had, I think, an 84 Chevette, with a manual transmission that didn’t suck nearly as hard as this T1000 (when it wasn’t chasing after John Connor) seems to have done.

No mention of “Henry and June,” the movie responsible for the NC-17 rating, WTF? And, as for “Wide Sargasso Sea,” the official reason it was given the NC-17 rating is that for a femtosecond you can see Keanu’s weiner in one shot. My guess is that the real reason it got the NC-17 rating was because of the interracial…

Anybody know what Stefan Eriksson is up to these days?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Eriksson

Anybody know if the ebike tax credit they were talking about passed?

Hopefully, you still post here and you’ll see the notification that I’ve responded to you, because I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to help with the restoration of Sir Vival when it shows up. (Complicated by the fact that I don’t have a car to get to the Lane.) Google the name I use here, and you’ll find an easy way to…
