Do these things ever hit the civilian market in some form? Like is there any way to obtain one once it is no longer needed for its designed task, or do they get immediately scrapped?

Last year, I took the girlfriend to Katsucon in DC on Valentine’s Day — yes, we’re THAT awesome — on a day trip (about 3.5-4 hours each way). Between waiting in the registration line for about 3 hours and my girlfriend being locked out of her bank account our stay was not long, plus we had the unexpected snow factor…

Ooof. Instant despair...

Great gift for someone doesn’t want to risk their tires being 1.5 psi off from the other!

Armor All Gift Pack. They are fairly cheap and you can pick it up nearly everywhere. Saw them in places from Walmart to Marshalls.

Yeah that shit hurt for certain. Basically sheet-metal wrapped plastic.

The door handles, my lord the door handles. That chrome nonsense peeled on my driver-side as well and didn’t notice until it sliced my finger. The exterior paint has held well over time, but the door handle paint is chipping pretty badly.

That’s odd. I had mine go bad about a year ago and replaced it the same day with a battery from NAPA. Only cost $115.

A 2007 LT Coupe is my daily (and only car for that matter). Only owner of the car and it’s now at about 112K on the odometer. Drive-wise, the car is a hoot to drive. It has a nice compact turn radius and the 2.2L Ecotec is a nice little engine. Everything else, is crap. The interior is sea of plastic, the seats are…

Seeing that “beernerdness” excerpt made me miss Fun with Peter King.

The drum brake on it’s own isn’t awful. It does its job. From a replacing aspect, disc brakes are way easier to change and can be done by anyone. Drum brakes are a lot more complex and dare I say I don’t trust myself to replace them myself.

For me, it was actually using an actual vehicle as a toy. When my cousins and I were kids, we would play in my grandfather’s GMC van he used for hunting/fishing trips. This van was as bare as possible, so no fringes or anything and my family called it the “fuselage”. When I became close to the age of driving, I wanted…

And the Panthers look like they’ll be of a darker blue. Something a little weird about that.

The Jets’ Color Rush unis were pretty solid in person. They felt nostalgic in a way — minus the green pants. The Bills just looked like throwback Patriots.

The Cobalt/G5 has a propensity to destroy the front door speakers due to a serious lack of weatherproofing. Water would pool in the door-well and eventually cause the speakers to short.

Thanks for reminding me of the Madison Rising abomination. Good for a laugh.

Concrete Mixer becoming a mobile home.

I can’t be mad at yoga pants.

Oh cock
