At the local Wendy's.  I question their commitment with the poorly attached signs and only having 2-3 on each side/nothing on the front. And the "End Common Core" sign on the passenger side didn't have any helpful info graphics.

Compared to the ones plastered in signs on every non-glass surface that car is just a rolling disappointment. You gotta step up your game here, boring protest van owner. TOTAL CHAOS

The most amazing thing about that car is that someone that into Sonic the Hedgehog also had enough money (or "talented" friends?) to paint Sonic characters all over their car. Because normally I would expect that sort of person to be 14. And not own a car.

Forwarded from a friend. I didn't see it here.  I appears to me they pulled the engine out the bottom. Is that normal for Fieros? I'm not an expert on their engine arrangement. This picture terrifies me to my core. The blocks are stacked the wrong way, the jack stands have their weight balanced on air, the wood 'beam' is barely there. I could go on. A butterfly fart one county over and you're a pancake.

Yeah, pulling the engine through the bottom is "the way" to do it.

With a lot of mid engined cars, even some FWD ones, it is easier to drop the subframe and then pull the motor from underneath. Not too sure on their method of lifting the car up for the job though

Terrible Robot posted:In older cars you can also roll the windows down to get a nice breeze without creating a horrible wind tunnel pointing directly at your face. I can cruise with them down all day in my Celica and barely have to touch my hair when I get out. New car? I look like I just stuck a fork in an electrical socket. Can confirm, I drive a 77 Cougar with the AC out, and even without vent windows the air flow directed into the car with the windows down means that I don't really miss it.

Let me tell you about the time I watched some guys at work use the Nissan forklift to change the tire on a Ram 1500... Basically they both got their forklift licenses revoked and one drat near got fired.

They had the frame on the very tip of the forks. A stiff breeze would have had it slip off and puncture the floorpan. They were also mucking about under the truck. I understand that you can do "bad" things in the "best" way, but these two were being best-in-class idiots.

A set of over-sized wheels on a car with worn springs and weak struts, what could go wrong?  No idea how this held 50 psi.

That's a Ranger with a Mustang front end put on it. It's in the right thread.

Putting a car front end on a truck may be tacky but I don't see the issue with it. Putting a sedan back end on a pickup negates any value either vehicle had.

Well, there's the fact that the lines on that really just do not look great. It looks incredibly goofy and horrible. Plus, it could genuinely use a lower rideheight. It just looks really, really hideous and is something that should not be.

Minor but believe me last night after a flight it felt monumentally stupid: Rental Dodge Charger has absolutely no hard buttons to control whether the air comes out of the dash, floor, or both. They give you buttons to control defrost, temp, a knob for fan speed, an A/C button... But if you don't want the car to decide your vents for you, you have to use a tiny touchscreen, which isn't even obviously touch sensitive. Oh, and gauges that are hard to read because they're over styled, and no standard Bluetooth or aux in? I realize it's poverty spec but come on.
