McTinkerson posted:After seeing how easily Hammond could slide his 4 door Maserati around, that 929 should be a really fun daily. Long cars are great for sliding. They take a bit more to get them to rotate, but once they do, it is really easy to control. The LGT wagon in the snow was drifting in easy mode. Give it a bit of power and some countersteer and it will go exactly where you want.

scuz posted:Passed a first-gen Dodge Grand Caravan on the highway and now I want one. I don't even have kids! It's kinda funny, because if you see a vehicle effectively completely disappear from Arizona roads, you know it's poo poo because it's not due to rust. I can count on one hand the number of first and second generation Mopar minivans I've seen on the road in the last five years. Hell, you could probably add the Aerostar to that and still not need a sixth finger. Oddly enough, the Astro seems to be much more prevalent still, but that's probably also because the second gen is not that massively visually different than the first.

Scuz, if you want a fun cheap boxy fwd 80s thing that makes a hilarious sleeper do a BP Festiva. I've researched/thought about/almost bought caravans multiple times and it's just not a good road to go down. Also it's much easier to make a Festiva fun around corners than a Caravan.

Slung Blade posted:Auto darkening helmets, so long as you have a decent one, are perfectly fine for any kind of home gamer welding work. I use one for stick, MIG and TIG without issue. You can adjust the darkness factor with a little dial. Cool! Didn't know they went that dark. Like I said, I haven't stick welded since before there were auto-darkening helmets :old: The Door Frame posted:Flux core, so I guess stick welding Nah, that's wire-welding (MIG is wire-welding with gas, AKA GMAW - gas metal arc welding.) Stick is traditional welding-rod-with-flux-on-the-outside arc welding (SMAW - shielded-metal arc welding) Actually, now that I thing about it, fluxcore wire welding may actually be SMAW? fake edit: nope, it's FCAW - flux core arc welding. Also, gently caress, beaten. NitroSpazzz posted:A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't I'm with you guys. I wasn't half bad at MIG back in high school, but that was a long time ago, and fluxcore is messier to begin with. definitely get a 3" or 4" angle grinder and a good grinding wheel. Not as sensitive to quality as the cut-off wheels (get a few of those, too - handy!) but still buy decent one so they don't explode. LloydDobler posted:I also moved my C70 around on them which is significantly heavier. And yeah dunno about 1000 lb but they're fuckin awesome, I keep accidentally storing engines and transmissions on them so I never have any to use. I currently have a 13B and transmission on one, and a bathroom cabinet/sink new in box on the other. Guess I need a third. Rhyno posted:Did a lot of reading last night, looks like the modernish Mazda V6s can be fitted to the engine bay with little problem. I wonder how hard it is to cram a rotary in there. Probably pretty easy, since rotaries are smaller than almost any other engine, at least in length and height, and narrower than any V engine. Cop Porn Popper posted:They came with 13Bs in at leasy japan. And a 2.0 turbo. loving mazda made my dream car, they just made it 30 years ago. Oh, poo poo, you're right! I forgot about the rotary Luce. freelop posted:Watching death in paradise and there was concern someone had tampered with their JEEP Lots of people use "jeep" as a generic term for a small 4x4. They're wrong, but so is "Kleenex" and "Crescent Wrench" most of the time. edit: because of Ryno, I am now aware that there are not one, but two RHD Toyota Mark IIs for sale in DFW (and one 929, but it's the soap bar.)

Thanks for all the well-wishes. We finally got word today they will send her home Monday if nothing changes over the weekend. We started to ask questions and out of the three physicians cycling through the ward, not one was able to tell us exactly why she was still there or any estimate of how much longer it would be. (I understand this isn't an easy thing to judge, but after 7 days laying in the same bed being told she can't leave the room it was getting incredibly stressful for her). The overall concern seemed to be "Well, just in case something happens". Our other option was to spend $50/night + meals on guest housing and insurance would not cover it. They did start her on a exercise routine around the hospital to see if the movement causes any progression, so who knows. She might be delivering this weekend or in 45 days. Now accepting bets. Winner gets booze.

It's hard to find a Festiva nowadays dude. I assume someone is hoarding all the surviving examples, but yet I see a bunch of them end up at Pick & Pull without ever being listed on Kijiji.

Wife left the front door open all day. I got home around 1pm, house was about 50F inside. But that's not the problem. I was sitting at my desk around 2 when I thought I heard an intruder. Something by the front door. I grabbed a gun, couldn't find anyone, wrote it off as paranoia. Picked my son up from daycare around 5 made dinner and put him to bed. Went to lie down and out of the corner of my eye saw a very feral male cat slink out of my bedroom. Cue 30 minutes of me trying to get it out of the house. Tore everything off my counters, tore up the mud room, finding little bits of poo and smelling cat piss everywhere. I eventually got my welding gloves out of the garage, put my carharts on and caught it. Still managed to scratch me. Not fun. And I can smell but not find poo poo in my bedroom.

Good luck with that one. Tomcat spray is loving vile and it is impossible to get the smell out of any fabric it comes near. Tomcat urine is almost as bad, but after a half dozen washes, it starts to fade

Adiabatic posted:snowboarding for the wife, "snowboarding" for me Trophy wife spotted. We live in a magical time. My wife's Juke is due for a CVT fluid change, which is a simple drain/refill with the correct fluid operation. But, the computer keeps track of the CVT fluid degredation and needs to be hooked up to a dealer's CONSULT computer to reset it... until now. Now there's an app on the Google Play store that handles all the CVT diagnostic and reset procedures you need... for $5. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cvtz50.cvtz50&hl=en So flippin' cool.
