It's going to be fun explaining how he managed to register a S15.

An illegally imported S15 from Florida? What a surprise that is.

My wheel knowledge kung fu is not the greatest, but they appear to be TE37's which immediately make anything awesome regardless of color.

They look like standard coloured gram lights (57Ds?)which are very nice, forged wheels. Some of you guys are ridiculous.

I'm thinking it's actually from Wisconsin or Michigan. The guy that owns it has the accent. The weather here is Bronco heaven.

Darchangel posted:The only thing I want to add here, is that those double C-channel lower control arms? Those are the stock control arms for that generation Suburban and Chevy/GMC pickup. They're called "truck arms" and actually work very well in the application for which they were intended. NASCAR cars use a variation of them, and there's a company that makes kits to put them in other cars. They give you some very good handling characteristics and ride quality in a street car. The air bags in the rear are in the stock soil spring location. ahhh, good to know! So apparently the control arms are fine, just... the way they are attached is a disaster. I bet the rear lower control arms (which should have been just control arms or radius arms, as you noted) are mounted to the frame just fine using the stock mounts, and that abortion of a double shear mount with the bolt, spacer nut, and 1/8 and 3/16 plate as well as half of an XJ sheetmetal lower control arm booger welded to the end of the Suburban control arm he used is for the frame side mount of the new front lower control arms. So much on that thing could have been done properly with the same parts (though those axles are incredibly narrow and weak for that vehicle) if he'd just not had his head lodged securely in his rear end in a top hat.

Super Aggro Crag posted:Am I the only one who loves super bright out of place colored rims? I do too, but for some reason I just don't really like bright orange on a medium gray color. I love the wheels just not the color combo on that car. But we all have our likes/dislikes  *edit* are those pink or orange? It's hard to tell.

I just Plasti-Dipped my 16" steelies on brand new winter tires lime green and I am moving to San Diego in a few months. I wonder if they'll sell for more on Craigslist with the Dip on or off.

Yep, most of those are familiar having grown up in the Milwaukee area. The list seems to be missing a few choice terms a Pole might say, but maybe the list is trying to be PG-13

This is hilarious to a German. Several of these are literal translations of things you'd say here, terrible grammatical structure and all. Also, I believe that page is trash talking sheepshead and that will not stand. Sheepshead owns bones (Doppelkopf is still better, though).

parrhesia posted:This is hilarious to a German. Several of these are literal translations of things you'd say here, terrible grammatical structure and all. That's because it's a accent of the descendants of German immigrants (I'm 100% german still). We basically speak English with a German grammatical structure so it's really confusing to others. An lot of English words get replaced with German words as well. Sheepshead is pretty awesome.

That list is nearly perfect for describing the crazy accent of Northeast PA as well. Add a touch more NY/NJ drawl and a few Yiddish words and you've got it. My stepfather is the funniest. I've brought a few people home for a visit and two of them couldn't understand a word he was saying. D'jeet yet? (Did you eat yet?) Nah, j'oo? (No did you?) Let's go up da line to de Eynon and grab some sliders, eh? Nice out enna? (We should go in the northerly direction following what used to be the rail line to a town called Eynon and grab some sliders, what do you think? Nice day isn't it?)

That's terrible, but it would be hilarious to take that car to a Honda dealership and tell the service people that "my car is doing a funny thing please help" with a confused and concerned look on your face.

The European VW people did it out of a hipsteresque desire to seem poor, and the human centipede of stupidity that is modern car culture brought it to the US VW scene, then to the Honda scene, and on to everyone else.
