We need a lot fewer English people in Canada. They bring their thug culture of soccer riots and daytime alcoholism here and don't even know what side of the road to drive on.

I don't know, man, as an American, I am plagued with guilt for something that happened three generations ago. I also feel personal responsibility for slavery. I spend nights awake flogging myself for killing the Indians. Because, you see, the American culture was forced upon the rest of the world by use of force and not from other cultures' emulation.

Baseball became popular in Japan in the 1870s. And US cowboy culture is a product of western movies which owe a lot to Japanese samurai movies so it works pretty recursively.

I guess what I'm saying is that Japanese and American cultures have been pretty closely related for a long time.

I don't get what's so hard about recognizing that all of those things had terrible effects that are still being felt today but not feeling personal guilt about it. Guilt doesn't solve problems.

No, please, move them to Canada, it's fine, we won't miss them.

Though I do find that if I spend a couple of days away somewhere, I kind of start thinking "Man, there's a lot of white people here".

Just gonna drop this in here (from the Craigslist thread) because this car is just down the street from me and I've been dying to ask if they'll sell it, turns out they are and I'm just losing my poo poo over here.

Pham Nuwen posted:

It's not on craigslist, it's just down the street. 1982 Datsun 280ZX







Doesn't run, but I can't find any rust or anything. Theoretically needs a new fuel pump, god knows what else it might need. They're asking $1000, I intend to offer $600.

Edit: just got off the phone with the owner. He said he parked it 10 years ago. At that time, he could get it to run by feeding fuel to the engine, but it couldn't pump it from the tank--he figures the fuel pump was clogged. He also says the transmission would pop out of reverse; how unique were these transmissions? (were they also in the pickups?)

This seems like an exquisitely bad idea but I'm also kinda at half-mast over here already. It's not visible in the pictures but after 10 years in the sun, the rear view mirror plastic basically crumbled and is spread all over the floor. Luckily they had louvres on the back, a cover on the (already-cracked) dash, so only the front seats got turbo-hosed.

I'll be talking to the owners later today... for whatever reason it's been sitting at the house across the street for 10 years, and those people had a yard sale today which is how I found out it's for sale.

I already had a brief phone conversation with the owner, who said when he parked it, he could get it to run by feeding fuel directly but it wouldn't draw from the tank. He also mentioned the popping out of reverse thing. He said they received their new duplicate title yesterday.

I intend to offer $500 in view of it sitting 10 years, needs new tires, needs new rubber, probably needs a transmission. I've got cash on hand and will roll it to my driveway as soon as we make a deal, which should be tempting to them--no hassle on their part.

Edit: If I buy this car, can I buy stupid pants and blather on about euphoria, or is that reserved for 300ZX owners?

I was moving a lathe around today and it got caught in a thunderstorm-related downpour, so I used an airline to blow it down and doused everything in WD-40.

If you can find one that doesn't have its roof held up by rust, bondo and well wishes- those gutters rotted out BAD.

And the US never got the really good 60- the HJ61 with the 12HT turbo diesel.

They're cool trucks but front and rear leaf springs mean they still ride like an ox cart

Use your penetrant as you please. I was simply making a sperglordfirecock joke. I mean if I remember right wd-40 was used to help prevent rust on boat missles or something so it should work for what you want.
