Truly, you have a dizzying intellect

I went to change the hang on toilet cleaner thingy and it turned into a full blown bathroom scrubbing. I just need to mop the floor now, I'll wait till later to do that, it's supposed to rain at some point this afternoon. I'm gonna price out new shower fixtures, some cheap flooring, paint and...

I think someone could just search for a shitty paper, kinda like a picture.......

For a couple months? You just wake up?

The Northstars are actually really great motors once you fix the head gasket issue. Gm spent A TON of money engineering them to compete against the euro luxury engines. Even with a head gasket failure they keep on running because of the fail safe mode which only fires every other cylinder...

How often do you Cal-I-fornianians get 2 bigger quakes this close together? Seems unusual to me , but I'm on the opposite coast so I don't have a clue.

Been out working in the garage. The truck I was positive had a junk tranny, which I haven't moved in 5-6 weeks, started up, shifted and drove up and down the driveway completely normal. I actually lit up the tire, before you had to floor it to get it to barely move, so that's what I did.. Lol...

Sometimes you don't get much of a warning...

For 90K I could do a functional restore on 2 ,maybe 3, older, much cooler, vehicles and have less carbon footprint, theoretically zero to negative at that point, than the Tesla or the Fit. You can't exactly claim to be environmentally friendly when your producing tons of potential future toxic...

If it's older then 2008 stay the fuck away. The Northstar motors in the older models WILL blow a head gasket, they did a redesign around 2006, I think, that took care of that issue. If you blow a headgasket the motor has to come out, through the bottom of the car, to get fixed... If it even can...

Been out all day trying to get the last of the crap in front of my garage dealt with, I'm at a point IDK what to do with most of what's left. I should probably toss it all in the scrap pile, but I won't. Then around 230 I got overtaken by an afternoon weed nap that came out of nowhere and held...

I was wondering about the pressure test as well. I can arc and mig well enough, and I'd jump on a tig without issue, but I wouldn't weld that my first time, especially if it's running flammable solvents. And if it's Co2, the pressures could be in the thousands of PSI. One poor section of weld...

A gasoline powered car won't run on diesel, it just won't burn. The gas and diesel will separate in the tank and once the pump starts sucking diesel the car will stall, then you will need to flush the whole fuel system. You need to drain the tank before you start it, the FILL it with gas a few...

I've seen some 70s higher end cars, Lincoln, Caddys, etc, that had crystal glasses and decanter optional for back seat passengers. Because you shouldn't have to go a half hour without a drink or a smoke.

Except for BP gas stations, at least around here. The gas nozzles are green, the diesel are black:dunce:. I bitched at them a few times about how it doesn't follow industry standards and they just claim its corporate policy, so I don't give them my money anymore. At least once a month I see a...

Why can't you drive your kids around in a cool modded car? My parents had a 1970 Vista Cruiser wagon with a built 455 that was lowered in the front with air shocks in the rear to jack it up, the style back then, and had rally wheels from a 442 on it. I was only 3 and I'll never forget when my...

For the last couple hours I've been moving more shit around the yard, trying to consolidate parts, and piling up scrap in 90F+ heat. I'm completely soaked with sweat, after only a minute it's running down my forehead into my eyes. I needed a sweatband so I tied an old tube sock around my head. I...

I know that, I meant more specifically. Which politicians were involved with drafting the loan terms, which industry people were involved, which banks and are they still holding influence on policy today. I'm sure there's been books written about it, but I'm not that interested. Maybe I can find...

I was just reading up on him and came upon an interesting fact. In 1979 he went to the US Congress for a loan to save Chrysler. As a term of the loan, the US government made Chrysler abandon their turbine engine program, which was complete and ready to go into production at that time. I know...

You just ruined a childhood memory. Every time I see him now I'm going to think there's a fat eggplant swinging under there.
