There are never enough Project Binky episodes  But it's also good because we all know they are doing poo poo the right way and not rushing it. I think its 4 months between episodes currently.

I'm always torn by seeing cars like that, it's very easy to say it's a lovely replica but it's immediately recognisable as a replica, and although there's a poo poo load of terrible in there, the guy has basically built a mid engined car from scratch, pretty much. I hope if I tried building something like it, it'd be neater.

 Home Depot yesterday. Not pictured: intercooler where the front rebar should be. God help you if you hit anything. You're already hosed if someone rear ends you. Bumper sticker says "Anime and chill"

Sorry but a reinforcement bar is going to take a hell of a lot more energy than going directly into the body. Driving without one is stupid as hell.

InitialDave posted:The best bit is that's the frame (an Ultima, I think) he claims to have "copied". I think the frame only costs about £4k. For a properly put together, proven chassis. Hah, I was just thinking "wow, that frame looks pretty well designed, especially considering the rest of the car" I mean I would totally just put on my motorcycle gear and drive around that empty cage frame. Why not

Metal Geir Skogul posted:It's around $3.00 per stereo install/repair, but I've been using these to repair friend's stereos, and when I'm installing something I know I'll be removing in less than a year. Might be bad practice, but better than twist 'n tape. I have a box of assorted Wago connectors and they're fantastic. Used a bunch when I couldn't be arsed to solder up speaker cables in some cabs, solid stuff.

I got autocorrected.  I mean, what is a Fairmont? How does that even aspire or inspire greatness? Add Aspire to my list. One day it will be a good car, but not yet. Also rear end+Perspire = Aspire

Whenever I see a Kia Magentis for some reason I always see it as the Kia Meningitis. Also, it was a Granada, not a despot ruled banana republic.

LaCrosse. Envision. Trax. Nova. Not because of the lolspanish thing. More of a why would you name your car after a thermonuclear explosion thing. Also, I hate the name Corolla. It just sounds annoying for some reason in english, and in Russian it's way too close to the word for cow (korova).
