@essextee That is insane. I assume there are some pretty hefty charges from that action?

Can the well even be saved after that happens? Are there others on the same aquifer that will be affected? (like the loser that contaminated it?)

@rallydarkstrike Where's our Oppo ProMaster fan to chime in? The one who posted recently about his work van with like 200K miles?

@Tripper I've not done the auction thing, and likely wouldn't for a DD, but when I import a 126p I'll be getting a shop to find a good one for me, but I've toyed with importing a cheap Ape off an auction site somewhere somehow...

@exage03040 I should probably buy stands shouldn't I. Sigh. I think I'll have the shop tackle all the small things + tires and do a general look-over. Go from there. They're good people so I'm not worried about them up selling a bunch of BS

@jminer said in Road bikes and nice wheels are good.:

@ita97 Those silver wheels to look really good!

Also 25 mile ride for coffee- damn!

Actually, the coffee is only like a mile and half from my house. It was an early pitstop to meet up and lubricate for the rest of the ride. Last weekend was a 35 mile ride for brunch. Sometimes it's a 66 mile ride with lunch or brunch along the way.

@long_voyager94 Looks just like the heater core job in my Mustang.

Though I wouldn't say that "came apart easy", Ford loved using brittle plastic in the '80s and it hasn't gotten any stronger with age.

@dr-zoidberg I've seen the same half dozen at my local VW dealer since they came out. Not a common sight on the road.

@adabofoppo Good to know. Sure, I can work on brakes, no problem 🙂

@akioohtori

Probably doesn't have an oil temp gauge, but guessing the oil temps were up as well. Adding an oil cooler (and maybe even a e-fans/thermo switch on it's cooling loop) will help your engine temps. Same with a trans cooler if the trans is plumbed into the radiator for cooling. Those high load/high altitude scenarios really push oil and trans temps, which oftentimes drives engine temps higher (depending on cooling layout). Power steering can be the same at low speed or high altitude on trails - mostly crawling type but even on 2wd pickups with towing packages you used to get a big PS cooler as well. If you haven't already, I'd look at subsystems too as there may be an easier/better solution than just cooling fans on the rad.

@texturedsoyprotein were are insufferable about the interiors. Guilty as charged.

@phenotyp My older nephew (who's four now, mind you) watched Trolls and fell in love with their version of "Move Your Feet". Blew his mind when I played the original on my phone.

@sony1492 Yup, round tube everywhere except the floor, firewall, and some other "internal" pieces.

The firewall in my build is split into two pieces, one for the engine side and one for the passenger side. That left a pretty large hollow spot at the floor behind the seats, which is covered by a removable section of the firewall.

The fuel is pretty close to the people, but if my gas tank gets crushed, leaking fuel will be the least of my worries.

(Best pic I have right now. I need to do some cleanup in the garage to get some newer pics.)

@musashi66 Think the target demographic can probably afford both. I would assume most of these are bought as third or fourth cars.

@sovande said in I got a tune:

Update: The tune is a hoot. I also finally was able to find what turned out to be the hardest car part I have ever sourced. It cost me $25 and is used and faded, but correct for my year. Plus it looks a lot cooler than the white one the dealership did a crappy job applying.

That looks MUCH better. 🙂

@milky i have my bikes to push the limit. miata is more fun, get around town when weather is bad.

tbh, i'm looking more and more at audi TT's, as this will be a winter car too

@davesaddiction She actually made a similar joke the other day. We made a bet on some cryptocurrency. She said if it pays off, I'm not allowed to trade her in for an upgrade.

Seeing how self-preservation is a good thing, I said, if it pays offs I'll send her to a surgeon about upgrades.

A good laugh was had by all.

@veearrrsix Now that’s a great idea.

@ttyymmnn Me too, then 20 years later curse myself for not keeping it together as I comb eBay looking for the missing pieces...

@pip-bip said in Cizeta went to auction:

@nauraushaun cheap.

totally. same price they sold for new.
not sure how a combination of rarity, Italian, V16, RWD and manual doesn't add up to a higher price. Guess nobody loved it

I don't know how they caught the person with the home made license plate. The people who make them are usually so detailed oriented.
