3 words for you... TIMING. CHAIN. GUIDES.

Back in college, a friend of mine had that happen to him and his girlfriend. He handled it hilariously, but very, VERY immaturely:

I know, right? I can’t get over how impressed I am with this guy.

The biker deserves a fucking medal and his reaction should be taught as an example of the ideal way to handle shit like this.

Biker was absolutely right to use the force that he did. It doesn’t matter what he did up to that point, it did not justify the aggression from the asshole in the car. Furthermore, once you lay hands on someone’s girlfriend, all bets are off. He’s lucky to get out of it as uninjured as he did, if that biker had beaten…

Doug DeMuro is the only man in existence that could make a “my car won’t start” story entertaining. For that, I applaud you.

Haha not that often. But it did come up recently, so it’s on my mind.

How frequently does the demand pop up?

This is the type of situation I am talking about when I refuse to give road head. I do not want to die with a dick in my mouth.

Good call on having someone else do the carbs. They seem simple enough but for a starter it’s best left to the experts. (I had the same experience with a car’s carburetor.)

I had destroyed my engine. Rookie mistake!

Man, of all cars to crush... this is kind of a bummer. I know these Benz sedans aren’t particularly valuable but they sure are pretty.

What’s right with this picture?

Hell yes. A buddy of mine had one almost identical to that one. It was a fun car. It had a little body roll iirc if you pushed it too much in corners, but nothing that would constitute a deal breaker. NP!

yup, me too.

What’s freaking me out about this thing is the amount of want I’m currently feeling. It ticks all the right CP boxes: someone else’s project, salvage title, parked for decades, scary as hell looking. Let’s call that “charm and character” instead and go NP just this once.

Not just in reference to this Van, but does a Salvage title really matter on a 50 year old vehicle? So what? Who cars? If you want to wash the title send it to Georgia where no titles are listed on vehicles over 25 years old.

Oh yeah! That’s what I’m talking about! I know I’ve said previously that other peoples projects can become your worst nightmare, but this is a nightmare I wouldn’t mind having!

Nice to have friends, no?
