A please would be nice.

@Qaaaaa They lack the constant pressure of impending doom of VWs.

@Qaaaaa VAG and all their single use bolts can go F themselves. just use proper bolts as a substitute.

I have a can, but I've always had mixed results so it's never been my first line of offense. Won't hurt to try it since it's sitting right there. It's not as if it's going to add paint, right? Thanks for the reminder.

I should also add, I let the car soak overnight in an old mason jar, and then the next day I'll pull it out with some pliers, rinse it in the sink, and use a wire brush while rinsing to get the last little specs of paint left. All this reminds me that I haven't really made any customs in a while and need to get back to it. There's a nice GTO wagon on my bench that's just begging for a sweet two-tone paint job...

@JunkleMKVII happy birthday!

@f86sabre said in What was the Car your parents brought you home from the hospital in? Your first car ride?:

1974 Plymouth Valarie Wagon

Unpossible. '76 was the first year for the Volare (whoa oh oh, cantare), and that was their first "compact" wagon (no wagon version of the Dart/Valiant predecessor).

Might fit some of the OG ones though that used a narrower chassis.

I've got plenty of those....

As do I. Though my kids got ahold of my 488 GT3 and it is no more. Same for the Camaro ZL1. One day I'll find all the pieces for both and get them back together.

@HFV_Junkyardin WTF?

@HammerheadFistpunch LS swap.

@Old-Busted-Hotness IMG_9949.jpeg waiting.

@LimitedTimeOnly

I haven't seen one yet, but my son told me he'd seen a hummer EV the other day.

@annoying_salman will do.

@Someoneatacura stay indoors and don't interact with the Canadians, they're weird 😛

@frinesi2 Those are some bigly rain/wind guards on the side windows.

@Highlander My 2004 Outback has this problem. I think I read the problem was so widespread that Subaru ended up recalling/repainting a bunch of these back in the day.

@Jimmy-Steel its 500 cars that they need to do...Porsche has the drawing somewhere, just call up a CNC shop and get them made. its not like its 100K cars that need the parts.

@Highlander Space Shuttle Enterprise at the Intrepid Museum in NYC. I took this photo last summer.

@Cé-hé-sin I think in Europe it's called Honda Dream or Honda Wave. Quite surprising to me because i thought the engine displacement might be too small in the continent

@Manwich said in Is there a 'GT' for every letter of the alphabet?:

I haven nothing for the few missing letters.

Ah yes... I remember the RX7 GTU.

Named after the IMSA GTU class which the RX7 dominated. IIRC IMSA ran two GT classes GTO and GTU. GTO was for over 3 liters (or equivalency with turbos) and GTU was under 3 liters.

@Just-Jeepin Good night. And I’ll say it again - I miss my TJ.

I won’t lie - I’m always looking for an unmolested manual sport.

@JRC99 the TCM needs signal from the trans to let it rev in these. the ecm/TCM/sensor setup in these can be an absolute nightmare. my 5.8 took 3 tcm's before it would shift properly. both shops i took it to told me to rebuild the trans lol

@derp long warm evenings with fireflies are just unheard of out here on the west coast. Also the pre-white-people prairie areas there (Konza, Tallgrass) are absolutely gorgeous

@john-norris I will, I still love F1 but cars have dropped off the radar somewhat as there’s so much going on (and my friends have got me into politics).

@f86sabre

Neat! I finally had a trip on an A350-1000 last week on a BA flight to LHR - I think they are running the RR Trent XWB-97. Great ride and comfortable cabin environment (pressure, temp, moisture, noise). The A35K seems better executed than the B787-900 which I have flown several times now.

I (unfortunately) had to fly economy, and picked the third row of world traveler which was row 32 (!) in this BA configuration located all the way back at the trailing edge of the wing... The a/c is configured with 56 club world and a couple dozen world traveler plus seats ahead of steerage class...

I am sure the cockpit jumpstart was more interesting... At any rate, the A35K is my new fave a/c...

@Avcracy I love how everyone giving you unrepentantly antique choices 😂 that celica is choice tho

@PowderHound not a dud on the first 2 albuums, the 3rd is a bit of a challenging mess.

😱

How did that happen?

Anyway, glad it was easy to replace ☺

Not least because the tie-downs seem to be made of that Freudianly disturbing automated charging serpent Tesla field tested a few years ago...

@Dr_Watson that's true, I suppose. Higher quality dash cams can be very expensive.

@Shop-Teacher I once saw a stat that said Michigan had a 25% drunk driving rate on Friday and Saturday nights. I didn't doubt it.

Not where I am, but the gig cities. They are problematic.

@jminer super-duper rotten, I believe the customer listened to sound advice and found a better one of whatever it is to start the project with. It's so nice when car dudes listen to sage advice.

@Cash-Rewards said in New bike day, n+2:

Needs a tune up,

When taking a bike to a shop find out what specific things will be taken care of under the "tune up". Some will do very little..
Old bikes usually need bearings serviced.

@MM54 @i86hotdogs if it’s still around bring it to an oppo rallyx

@TAE

As others mentioned, he likely wouldn’t hold up three fingers like this.

Mmmmm.

Now to let them dry out.
