All upvotes being reset, everyone goes back to zero.

No thank you. A lot of posts deserving of an avalanche of upvotes would suddenly be upvoteless.

@Highlander So was that programmed via autopilot?

That’s a mighty fine piece of G-code.

@TheBarber awesome and thanks!

@davesaddiction Well now it's just a Lincoln Mk8

@Huzer The opposite situation for me haha. It’s less the issue itself (nothing in comparison to your Grand Cherokee problems), but VW’s response if issues arise…

@Dusty-Ventures said in Obscure oppo rally post #1:

@Stef-Schrader It is 'lump time

Sounds like a bad day at your annual physical.

@PowderHound yeah so much of what I saw on the drive was just blatantly reposted from other sites, I stopped checking the main page but still wanted to make sure Stef and Kristen got clicks so I just bookmarked their staff pages and checked them regularly for new stuff.

@rctothefuture And if you haven't seen Truth in 24, it's fucking stellar. Le Mans 2011 is still the most exciting, amazing race I've ever seen, and seeing from inside Audi's team just makes it that much better.

@facw As @jminer pointed out, in MO you get a paper temp tag from the dealership, which they get as a book of blanks from the state. St Louis is also right on the border with IL, so you have a lot of people who buy a car in one state and live in the other. You'd see a lot of temp tags even if you did issue real plates at the dealership for in-state buyers.

All of the things that you bring up require money and technology that are hard to come by in most of the state. For St Louis in particular, there is also widespread hostility toward police (which is beyond reasonable but not entirely unjustified). That makes funding more advanced enforcement tools a tough sell, especially when much more serious crimes are completely out of control right now.

@dogisbadob I'd still take the mustang.

@Mark-Tucker said in Barely passing is still passing:

I'll probably have to replace that 1989 original catalytic converter... but today is not that day.

Don't worry about that. There are ways to get by. I know a guy in St. Louis who can help.

@pip-bip Already in contact with the iOS developer. I think I could reach the rest of the two using LinkedIn.

@ttyymmnn I'm in canda every week is pouting week!

@Arch-Duke-Maxyenko All racing was like this before race tracks were invented in 1983.

@save_the_milanos

Sorry for all the stress you’re feeling right now.

Is there a Cincy area Alfa enthusiast group where you could find a person who could liquidate it all for you and split the proceeds?

Maybe an Opponaut local to the area would be up to the task if they knew they’d make some money for their efforts?

@Smallbear said in ive mended a thing!:

@Chariotoflove Well, naturally. If you overdo it on your first try you might not get the opportunity for a second attempt!

I mean, as an experiment you could ask someone to push you into traffic and see if it mends things, but I think we'd all prefer that you stick around.

Because caution and good judgement are the Oppo Way!

@ForSweden So... kind of like when you bash the zombie in the head?

@BicycleBuck

Did you secure a lifetime supply of replacement smoke?

No, but I did find a future wife there.

@Smallbear Those are some great shots!

@WasGTIthenGTOthenNOVAthenGTInowA4 said in So... I spoke to the owner of the Studebaker...:

You had me till here.

Lol I'm open to alternatives. But they're so ugly it kind of wraps back around?

Then again I do love a good wheel hunt...

@ForSweden AchingMiserlyHaddock-size_restricted.gif

oh ... I misread that too. I thought it was the "year of the rabbi" ?

@ZHP-Sparky-the-5th
I'm glad things are looking up and the lil'one is on the mend.
U.S. insurance can seriously go shove it's head up it's arse and that agent and the doctor in Ohio, I hope they fall and shatter their patellas.

@FourMalibus

Cool. Thanks. I will definitely edit the article for greater accuracy.

@Green-Truck This is 90s Mopars for me.
Car or van doesn't matter, they just all feel like home when I get in them.

Oddly enough, my Pacifica has really garnered that same home feeling lately and I never really thought I would have that again.

I'm in a good place right now. Moved to the Charlotte area for a new job that's going well, in a house with the wife and kids, the cars are still running, and I'm coming up on 60 (!!) days clean and sober.
Thanks for the reminder to be grateful for what we have. Just for today...

@AMGtech I kind of like it, I had the play list in my cluster because when using maps it was too small.

@doodon2whls they are booking it now

the later stuff on Puppets or Justice

Puppets and Justice was them being experimental and a little weird when they finally had the notoriety and success to do so and before they started making music for Jock Jams #69 and Dodge commercials.

@john-norris

F**k yeah!

@Jan__Bosik said in Just how badly does used oil smell?:

I would just like to get into car life and unfortunately I don't have a garage.

meh, don't worry about it. I've never changed my own oil 😄 I treat my cars like pets so whenever I take it in for an oil change it's like seeing the vet, and then they can tell me that my radiator hoses are about to shit the bed 😰

@Ad-absurdum-per-aspera said in Now DOTS an intriguing and evocative business name:

In a better timeline they use a white Charger

Would it be acceptable to arrive in a Lancer? If the driver's name is Arthur, should they be in an Avalon or will he have a Crown?

@bbg2d said in Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more (update in comments):

that bow wave is impressive.

I think that safely qualifies as "Full Send"

Crazy.

@ttyymmnn Makes me really glad I took the time to shovel the driveway the other day, before it had a chance to get all trampled and frozen solid!

@Vondon302 I preferred the material overall of the Marriot era Small Faces, but I've definitely got nothing against Rod Stewart.

@KITT222 I’ve got an update for my attendance. I should be able to make Saturday lunch, US Auto, and the start of the farewell party. I accidentally double booked a date for Saturday night so I’ll have to dip earlier than I intended 😅

@tophercrowder 9E8E5340-C290-4920-B3F7-1309601F1976.png

@facw We actually do have detection equipment on major highways in the US to see if anything is being transported. That is what I heard when I was in the military.

@pip-bip It looks like they are still setting up. The cars have some of that white plastic on them etc...

@Fish-McSticks
Oh, okay.
Just make sure you're keeping yourself nourished.

@BigRigButterz Cool car! I'm going to be selling mine in the spring.

@Wrong-Wheel-Drive I’ve never eaten in Patagonia. It’s a very small low key local tourist town, so the restaurants there are probably all pretty good.

You can walk or ride a bicycle while giving the finger to every car that goes by and yelling “THEMS FIGHTIN WORDS”

@Ad-absurdum-per-aspera I was just looking at one of these in Barn Finds (now gone) for what I thought was a very reasonable $6500.

You are making me regret that I HAVEN’T ridden a ‘Busa… I always thought they were absurd when I was younger and uninformed, but being Florida, part of that was because just about every one of them had an extended swingarm for drag racing or at least the aesthetic of drag racing.

Yours may be one of the most attractive I’ve seen with the bright yet not over the top yellow. My coworker has a metallic orange one that seems pretty nice too. It is his daily right now while he rebuilds the engine in his Camaro. /Florida

Would you consider another if the right bike/price came up?

@Albino-Kangaroo Yeah, BVC makes some top notch kits, they look awesome. I would like to build one too, but I only have $, not $$$ for the kit, plus another $$$$ for the bike.

@pip-bip it’s funny because my wife drives like we’re in a rally most of the time.
