Kenny Rogers posted:Thinking about this for a couple hours, I've come to the conclusion that this is the Rolls Royce of 2030, when self driving cars have become commonplace, and things like "windshields" aren't necessary anymore, so you can style a car any way you like (read: Every 7 year old's wet dream), and it'll remain perfectly functional. I seem to recall this particular Rolls was designed around you having a chauffeur (and he was sat open to the elements). *edit: here we go:

It's incredible how fervently other automakers will try and make the Impreza Casablanca look good.  I mean, it's a loving impossible task, but good job anyway. edit: just now realized it has a power rear antenna. I wonder if that means there's a special part number for the rear quarter running around out there.

Silly String doesn't dissolve nearly as rapidly when wet as a Lucas wiring harness.

had a tire puncture yesterday, just getting that replaced right now at the dealership. There's some guy in for a seized brake caliper. Sounds like they won't be able to get the part in today so he's upset and saying he's going to take his car elsewhere making the argument of "I had enough brakes to get here, I have enough brakes to leave" It's currently -29ºC and all the roads are wither packed snow or ice...

Another random Subaru factoid which I should've picked up by now considering how many JDMs are running around here.

Kenny Rogers posted:That would likely only happen if the driver were Tom Baker, and last I checked he drove some sort of timey wimey police box loookin' thing. Actually, it's how Isadora Duncan was killed, interestingly enough. quote:Duncan's fondness for flowing scarves contributed to her death in an automobile accident in Nice, France, when she was a passenger in an Amilcar. Her silk scarf, draped around her neck, became entangled around the open-spoked wheels and rear axle, breaking her neck. DarkSol fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Dec 6, 2013 |

Rusty spring perch. The coup de grace was the tailgate falling off when we backed it off the lift. You want a bellylaugh, get a few mechanics and show them that spring, then shed parts exiting the shop. My sides hurt so bad. Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Dec 6, 2013 |

That's basically what a 3" body lift did to my 93 YJ. On 6 of the 11 mounts, iirc.
