That classic 911 sound with that 5th gear whine really hits me in the feels.

Ahh, but we already had one of those. It was called the Omnibot 2000 and my dad brought it home from Japan back in the 1980s. It could bring you as beer, pour drinks, and do all kinds of stuff, like act as a mobile megaphone and scare the hell out of your dog. It was programmable, too.

An ‘orse is an ‘orse, of coarse, of coarse.

That tire was Hankooked into a cocked hat, for sure.

As if you Brits have never murdered your own language.

Take an E30 Eta, yank out the M20B27, and slap in a Buick 3.8 turbo from a Gran National. Bonus points: the 5K rpm tach still applies.

Blast...I got 1, 2, 4, 8, and 10 correct.

Thanks for that post about H. Salt, I had forgotten about them! Here in Cali we have this small chain called “Tugboat Fish & Chips” and they serve some truly awesome London-style fish & chips. Reminds me of the old Race Street chain I used to see growing up in San Jose.

I’m very late to this posting, I didn’t know it existed until I saw your LJS post. I was born in central Iowa 43 years ago, but my parents moved us kids to California in ‘79 and embraced West Coast food culture. However, they’d order breaded pork tenderloin patties from Amana meats and we’d get to experience a “little…

Nice FUD piece, as if scooter-riders needed more FUD.

Yeah, I didn’t know there were diesel Chevettes until I saw Harold’s. His looked like Baghdad met Mogadishu, but it always ran and he loved it. Said it had never let him down.

You should see the ones that _aren’t_ on YT. From what I’ve seen, the Japanese are some of the most racist and passive-aggressive perverse people I’ve ever encountered. 

From 2002-2007 I worked with an old fella with a diesel Chevette in North Dakota. He bought it new in ‘82 and drove it year-round. One winter at 2am a friend of mine and I were walking out to the parking lot and ahead of us, old man Harold emerges from his Chevette in a huge mist of ether. He stumbles around a bit…

Yeah, it’s one of those lost arts, like hiding under the desk with one’s hands over the back of one’s neck in the face of nuclear holocaust.

I think the death of manuals is more due to people wanting a hand for the phone than it is laziness.  Seriously, here in California, I see dually drivers with a phone to their face all the damned time.

Back in the ‘80's, I actually switched to writing with my right because of smudges.  It’s amazing how many kids these days can’t write cursive, it’s still second-nature to me all these years later, despite the fact I maybe write in cursive once every few years!

Back in the early ‘90's, my step-dad had an ‘89 GMC Safari, a base model cargo version with an Iron Duke and a 5-speed. That thing was surprisingly peppy, it would chirp the tires going into 2nd gear and was a blast in the rain. Always thought it’d be _really_ fun with a 4.3!

Now the go-to move will be for Ruiz to knock Drake out when Drake tries to jump on his bandwagon, too.

Christ I can’t stand Drake.  He’s like the Justin Bieber of hip-hop.  Hope the Warriors shut him and Charles Barkley the fuck up.

Soothing indeed. I did this on Oblivion when I finally got a graphics card that would run with full grass enabled. Just because, I smoked a lot of grass while doing it.
