@pip-bip I bet if he gets stats on where people are looking at it are from he's going to be really confused why his beat up Skoda is attracting interest from the US..

@pip-bip I shall attempt the photographic essay format...

@HammerheadFistpunch of gas?

If yes then fart in a jar. You'll be able to reheat the leftovers!

@dp that kia stinger looks niiiiiiiice

@wheelerguy nice tribute to Nikita there. 🙂 with the moneygram logo

@DrDanteiii how hard can it be to make it look like it

@amoore100 volvo FTW!

@Just-Jeepin now we know why @Dr-Zoidberg sold the HiLux

@Dusty-Ventures Get that framed and hung in a prominent place! What a special thing.

@Gabriella I really liked the "Ioniq Electric" tho.IONIQ-Electric-rear.jpg

@ttyymmnn Yeah, apparently the plan is to try to salvage parts from the burnt one to complete the 2nd plane. But as you say, Ukraine has bigger fish to fry at the moment.

@Just-Jeepin I love a good catalog. They're so rare to see in print these days...

My oldest is at the stage where he barely wants to play with them. He's interested in customs but not enough to stick. The youngest has no interest. I have parts for days!

@ITA97 said in Ebay Motors is a better auction site than BaT, Doug's site, MBMarket, etc:

One thing I really liked about Dougslist is their format adds time to the clock every time a bid is placed

BAT does the same thing. Once it gets within 2 minutes of the scheduled end of the auction it automatically adds 2 more minutes once a bid is placed. A competing bidder then gets a full two minutes to place a better bid at least at the minimum bid. Then two more minutes get added to the auction

I believe Doug copied BAT in that regard.

Pufftobombing review cars is back, baby.

@ITA97 He has been thinking of swapping an imported engine into something but he found this so he went to look at it today.

@tophercrowder The appropriate tool for the job!

@benjrblant Potentially. There is also a factory tailgate reinforcement kit available for just such an occasion.

We Gladiator owners have it easy: a 37" tire will fit in the spare location (though it has to be almost fully deflated).

This looks like one of those AI-generated car images lol, complete with gibberish lettering

@PowderHound this is Montana… if it moves it’s street legal.

@john-norris Well the Taco replaces the Longboi. No additional pickups required at this time.

@ttyymmnn My only 747 memories will be the disgusting United Airlines ones where the CRT screens are usually busted and the bathrooms stink even after they clean them. And being stuck on them for like 16 hours.

@Alfalfa I had to immediately ask my HomePod to play this tune to keep yours from infecting my brain for the next few hours.

@facw That's not what came up when I searched for squirting...

@RallyWrench I’m my Colorado town, an industrial area 2,500 square building with 2,500 outside lot is 750k. Rents probably $4k.

This sucks.

@mhr555 LO LNOOOOOOO

@functionoverfashion that is the greatest thing ever

@JeepOfTheseus said in Plumbing question:

@ash78 the rule of old plumbing when I've worked in facilities in the past is that if you touch one plumbing component, expect both the downstream and upstream to somehow fail within a couple of weeks after the initial repair.

Yes, it's best to buy more than you need after a few weeks and return them than making 500 trips to the store. I've done both.

@Just-Jeepin That's crazy. I'd pull a credit report if that happened to me.

@Darkbrador a5a576f0-5bd1-4efb-9114-c5c3ee5ca8ad-image.png

Queue up a day of DIY projects that went horribly south before lunch.

@415s30 I promise not to break your heart.

@Alfalfa Mine didn't have a fob and I never bothered getting one programmed once I figured out the key trick. I never have liked carrying fobs in my pocket personally. Glad that worked for you, neat to know that Volvo had the same logic... sorry about your cats though, none of mine have been keyed 😀

Edit to add: is this something that @Taylor-Martin should know?

@Highlander Can confirm firsthand that, stock, these are quite stable. The lift and the larger tires seem a little suspect on this example, however. And this coming from someone who drive a lifted Jimny with a hardtop to work today.

I only bounced off of the rev limiter three times!

@ttyymmnn Thanks, yeah it's like a blur sometimes.

@trivet if they send you the wrong item, or it's damaged.. then they come get it. If I changed my mind that should be on me.

New CEO was previously with Eaze.

Led company to become the largest cannabis delivery service in the country with over 40+ depot and retail locations. Scaled revenue from $17M to over $200M and team from 60 to over 1000+ employees. Expanded Eaze footprint from one state (CA) to four (CA, MI, CO, FL). Transitioned original marketplace platform to vertical retailer to achieve operational profitability. Sourced and finalized acquisition of leading CO cannabis retailer, Green Dragon. Launched FL operations including 400K sq ft production facility and 10 stores. Raised over $170M in equity and debt capital.

@adamftw said in A Eulogy to a Jeep:

@ash78 yea, it’s moved upmarket. 4Xe trailhawk is like $75k. Ouch.

Yeah, I'll take that offroad after about 20 years of depreciation, at which point it's no longer a 4xe, it's just a 4-cylinder GC dragging around some heavy batteries 🙂

@The-Car-Motorist Yes! That first one is definitely a Piaggio Ape! Looks like an Ape50, so one of the smaller 50cc engine ones! 😄

That second one is similar to an Ape, but not an Ape...it's another Italian three-wheeled truck....I'm not as knowledgeable on other Italian three-wheelers, but that one would be a Lambretta or MotoGuzzi maybe?

If you don't mind subtitles in English (from German), Mathisox on Youtube is a very cool restoration / customization on a similar Ape to that one awhile back! 🙂

@ash78 sent you a DM to save filling up this thread.

@Ermahgerd That makes sense I guess.

@dogisbadob Well mine is still there but i guess thats something else i should check out.

@john-norris said in well...its wierd seeing you with sponsors:

@farscythe said in well...its wierd seeing you with sponsors:

i'd like to think they are both smart enough to not take eachother out

If you're a bottom feeder it should be much easier to have enough self awareness that you are already on thin ice.

I suppose though anyone that makes it to F1 has an ego big enough to think they deserve to be number 1, if their team would just give them the opportunity.

Key word @john-norris "should"...they'll fight each other like they're going the last piece of chocolate cake at a binge eaters anonymous meeting.

@dieseldub Yeah, the Kaferfach box!

@Snuze Awesome! Good luck and keep us apprised on how it turns out!

@Turbineguy-Nom-de-Zoom said in Alt title: "Why EVs will never make my naughty bits tingle":

@RallyDarkstrike I've had a few press fleet cars over the years with great sounding exhaust. One of them was the 2016 Scat Pack Charger with the 392. Every tunnel I drove through in that car I'd roll down the windows and punch it just to hear the exhaust reverberate off the walls. Once my wife said to me "What is wrong with you?" and I replied "Just getting in touch with my inner 16-year-old". Good times.

Sounds like perfectly normal behaviour for petrolheads to me! LOL

@Milky Yay I'm so proud.........

Thats what I get for the builder putting a heat pump in instead of gas heat. Not that propane is much better right now.

@AMGtech Fair enough!

@facw My dad says that all the time, he leaves his pennies at the register.

@Sam-Blockhan Ooh, it's the fancy one with six lights in the front, too.

@FourMalibus said in Finally!:

I checked out the ice today and it technically held me about 10ft out from shore

Seems like there's more to the story here....

@WasGTIthenGTOthenNOVAthenGTInowA4 said in Good Morning, Oppo:

And every step along the way before that too.

I'm not sure why they thought slick tires would work in the snow....

@HFV_Junkyardin Nope. Nothing special about the drivetrain or interior on these. Just springs, sway bars. These would have gotten a 1mz 3 liter. All aluminum 4 valve per cylinder twin cam v6.

@MasterMario Its a really beautiful place. Oh course, if you stopped here to put down roots you would probably be pretty mad when you saw what was just around the corner.

Fun fact: My Great Great grandfather and his family were the first permanent settlers to this valley so it would have been them. Thankfully they kept going and found the better place. Not that it was warm where the ended up. Previously he was asked to settle in California and ended up buying the 100,000 acre San Bernadino Mission (for the church) and established the town and city it is now. Then he was called back to Utah and asked to settle what is now Rich county and bear lake county Utah/Idaho respectively. Now I love the bear lake valley, but winters here would be a kick in the teeth after southern California.

@pip-bip

Saw this yesterday:
