Seat Safety Switch posted:Wow, that Bronco is incredible. More pictures, please! There's a ton I have in a million different folders, but quick highlights: When he first bought it - paint was still pretty good but it had some Texas rust. The red Bronco was his first, and I grew up wheeling and camping in it (all over death valley/the sierras/illegal roads into military bases). I almost lost an eye when we hit a hidden rut when I was about 5; took me many years to feel comfortable on a dirt road again and even more to start offroading myself:  Stripped down:  Engine pulled out for rebuild:  Fresh outta    With his matched-trim Teardrop trailer:

I suspect my midlife crisis will end up looking a lot like that. Beautiful ride. I particularly like the black rack, think it provides excellent contrast.

I am not sure I have the words to really convey everything that is happening, nor is it my place to since I am merely the messenger. Submitted without comment...for now.

We took that thing absolute everywhere on road and off. Good times, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

This morning, the adventure continues! Our hero receives a lesson in blowing trannies, parts hoarding and automotive divinity (the point at which the horizon becomes one with your immediate surrounding, or excessively speeding and not being aware of it).         Edit: One more snagged from an alternate source. I don't think you guys realize just how amazing this thing is...

It's not often you have your decisions confirmed. "In a few years we'll replace the Mazda with a model 3." She gave me a pensive look. "Don't they have automatic transmissions since they're electric?" "They don't really have a transmission." "Oh." She was clearly disappointed. "We can take turns driving +future manual wagon project+"

I think I saw a unicorn yesterday. At first I thought someone had thrown new emblems on it after an accident, but Google tells me this thing is real. A VW V10 TDI. After seeing an engine bay shot, I'm pretty sure I'd never want to own one after the warranty ran out. But a SUV that runs low 15s while burning waste product?

One of my friends has one and it is amazing. The torque is brutal and unrelenting. It has adjustable ride height and hi/lo range. Sweet truck but its also a VW with literally 36 computers in it so theyre better when other people own them.

A 2010 GMC work van has 12 computers in it, according to that famous Imgur post where one got hit by lightning and the mechanic went through and replaced them one by one.

Edit:^^^yes it is. "FIA technical director Charlie Whiting says making the blocks out of titanium makes the cars safer, stops teams from gaining an advantage and creates more sparks, "which some people think will look a little more spectacular"." Edit dos, just to add even more:" Formula 1 cars are producing sparks this year because of a conscious effort by teams to improve the show. The idea was proposed by Mercedes last year as a simple fix as part of wider concerns about television audience figures, which were falling in some markets." Tldr F1 loving sucks and sparks haven't made it better. InitialDave posted:Is this still a thing for bikers' knee sliders, too?

I mean, I used to be a die-hard F1 fan up until pretty much last year, and fell off the bandwagon halfway through the season. I fell asleep halfway through the first race this year and never bothered to finish it. But the sparks are fuckin' cool man.

bronco chat- your dads not going to hurt anything running the locking hubs in full time- we do that when we get fleet vehicles for our fire units, they get locked in the day we get them and returned 5 years and 60K kms later with them still in. Our two little Mitsi trucks have had the hubs locked in since day 1 and theyre 10yrs old and 100K kms old of offroad use.

I've seen a lot of remarks to the same effect and a bunch of bitching about rule changes and poo poo but I don't actually know what's happening or why.

Used to be, you qualified in order, and the bottom six teams were eliminated every qualification round. Now, it's a rolling time qualification, where the bottom person not at X laps is eliminated every 60/90 seconds (can't remember which). Totally changed the entire dynamic of the race, because you have to remember that you only have a limited number of sets of tires to use. Some courses have laps that are so long that otherwise excellent drivers that didn't have forward or pole position literally can't make the laps in time, even with good driving. They're being eliminated literally a second away from the lap point. I may not be totally accurate because I don't follow it, really. But my partner at work does.

That picture doesn't show you the best part. On the firewall end naturally. Geirskogul posted:Used to be, you qualified in order, and the bottom six teams were eliminated every qualification round. That seems kind of poorly thought through but I don't see why it affects the actual race. Like, yes all the fastest cars end up at the front (which usually happens anyway AFAIK) but it's still a race and you're expected to overtake and stuff right?
