Oh hell yeah Jalopnik Peanut Butter Battle

Thanks! Setting up a freebie tv in the garage this weekend; stoked to have something to watch while I wrench*

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good storage bin (or system) for spare parts? I’ve got parts stacking up for three cars and I need to organize them so I can start attacking projects.

No worries! Thanks bud!

If they’re ever in Austin I’d happily host that in the garage.

Nice, I dig it.

Oh, super important question! I got DirecTV after some episodes of Car vs. America were no longer available on demand. How can I watch them?

Even little old ones like 80s Hiluxes? They’re like super helpful friends.

Who’s your team?

I’d have done this already if my interior wasn’t red.

My E30 needs paint, but I have other projects I’d rather shell out for. As such, I’m leaning towards mixing a custom plasti-dip (high five, Andrew; fight me, everyone else!) in this blue-black hue. I think something from this color family would look really nice around a cardinal red interior.

As vignettes I really like these, ostensibly because they so clearly borrow (generous term) from iconic designs that I’ve always admired.

Are the animals solely focused on killing me or do the rules of the jungle still apply? Thrown into a large cage match battle, there would certainly be some infighting, which would impact my selection.

Thanks!

I cannot believe I didn’t mention Drafthouse.

The beer was just a 50/50 mix of Fire Eagle and Black Thunder, but the name was an homage to that same TV edit.

Pinballz Arcade, Toy Joy (original location was infinitely funkier but their spot on 2nd Street is still fun), Terra Toys, Austin Books and Comics (“the best for sure” according to my friends), Dragon’s Lair, and the incomparable Waterloo Records (see if you can time your trip for an in-store show) ought to fill a…

Re: your username, did you see that Austin Beerworks is getting rid of Black Thunder? No more Mister Falcons :(

If the U-2 moves too quickly, it will start encountering shock waves as it approaches the speed of sound, something known as Mach Buffet.

I personally use a Coast lamp with a focusing lens that lets me put super precise light where I need it. Not rechargeable, but you can’t have everything.
