He’s the size of a cat and obviously has 9 lives.

I’m just going to leave these here:

There’s more pedantry in this thread than an NAMBLA convention.

“Unsafe At Any Price”

Awesome. I look forward to reading any future iteration of it if it comes to pass. Best of all, you’re all but guaranteed an inexhaustible pool of candidates.

I would like to see more articles from David Tracy (his inline 6 worship series is great, BTW) and the Practical Enthusiast. As a father of 2 kids at or under the age of 2, I am relegated to vicariously enjoying the experiences they describe because I just can’d do any of that anymore.

Secondly, I would like to offer a…

David, I think your dedication is wavering. The David I know would have asked his friend to scoop up the XJ and offer to spot him the money later. This should have been a foregone conclusion.

I read this as “titties.”

In Sean Connery’s voice.

Sorry.

Better​ still, extended metaphors whenever possible.

Ah, you got me. College habits die hard.

:Fry face not sure if legit:

I like your username and how it is pertinent to your comment.

That’s a scoop of rocky road I wouldn’t want to have.

Well, now that I think on it, the coolant froze, then it overheated (which is what caused it to die presumably) and the oil and water mixed together. I’m not sure it hydrolocked necessary. All I know is that by all accounts that engine should have been toast.

I need a t-shirt that says “I <3 the 300 I6” - the one in my ‘75 Ranger was a beast. The PO had coolant with too high a concentration of water in it (and I foolishly didn’t replace it right away) so it froze right in the block and locked up the engine when it was -38° outside in North Dakota. I parked it over winter…

Well, I guess you sure told me. Nobody should be permitted to tell me my own life experience is BS. Were you there? I do not recall a third sack of dead weight in that glacial sled. Talk about power trips (something the Justy knows nothing about).

No one should be permitted to vote NP on this unless they’ve test driven one of these turds. Then they can make the decision fully knowing it’s an underpowered death trap. I’d say it’s unsafe at any speed, but that would imply the damn thing could actually get up to speed. A few years back, the wife and I test drove…

I’m going to say Subaru Baja (bonus points if equipped with a sunroof).
