InitialDave posted:Yes, I will say I prefer the house to the fake stone nonsense going on next door, at least it seems consistent in its style. The fake stone and vinyl siding place next door screams McMansion, esp with the lotline-hugging and windowless wall. So yes, the modernist monstrosity is better by virtue of the fact it is not a McMansion. Best house is the rightmost one, probably the smallest, and definitely the oldest (look how much space there is between the two houses compared to the other side). Hell, old house has side windows! It has character and doesn't scream "LOOK AT ME AND ALL THE MONEY I CAN WASTE ON POINTLESS poo poo."

Showed up to work 2 1/2 hours early by mistake, so biscuits and sausage gravy happened at the local breakfast spot. Say what you will about the american south, but we do breakfast right.

Have yelled at many a chef over the bullshit they sent instead of biscuits and gravy. When my grandpa died we went to the resteraunt he always chose and they had some of the best.

I'm on harsh immune suppressants and just survived the flu, so there, that's my accomplishment for the year.  I was heaving so hard for 3 days that i think i pulled every muscle twice. lost 25lbs in the first 2 days between the water weight and the energy expended firing fluids out of every hole at the speed of sound.

Biscuits and gravy are all well and good, but the one true Southern breakfast will always been country fried steak, hashbrowns, and eggs.

Reasons to always double check a PO's work (or their shop's work, as the case may be): 30k mile double platinum plugs... five heat ranges over stock.

DC's air con pretty much exploded with enough force to shatter tiles in the bathroom next to it. Oh I am having a woooooonderful Monday morning so far...... Let alone the list of NSW branches where equipment powered down to save themselves. And the branch where the air con was off cause it was closed BUT the temp sensor pegged at 69C. Oh and the office I'm in? Yeah that air con failed too so it's 39C inside. Yaaaaaay

It was so cold down in Melbourne last night that I had to use a quilt  I spent most of yesterday digging my friend's 1977 Celica lift back out of his back garage (he doesn't really mow his lawns) and move it to his front garage so he can start working on it. It has an imported 18R-GE in it, and some nice modifications like two spot brakes on the front. Surprisingly it has minimal rust in it, and even though there was a mouse nest on top of the motor they had not chewed at the wiring or got into the interior.

Great sled ride today. Another 100+ km. Rode out to a nearby town, had some lunch, then back home. 4 hours on the trails, lots of other sleds. The restaurant had at least a dozen snowmobiles parked with people eating. You folks who live without snow are missing the best goddamn time hahah.

Walked outside to blow my driveway and when I was passing by the Versa I saw a distressingly large blueish spot on the snow by the right front wheel. Same colour as the last jug of wiper fluid I dumped in the 6 so my immediate reaction was that the reservoir had cracked. Turned out I'd driven over a Sharpie.  The thing that I really don't understand though, is the red Ontario Landowners Association pen a few inches away, because it certainly isn't mine.

On another forum I'm on, someone asked for a definition of what constitutes 'Classic'. Seemingly every boomer said that 'Classic' should only apply to things from 1950-1969. And actively argued their point. These are the people who are making America great again

I think 30s-40s cars are considered "antique" and anything earlier are known as brass era. As for 70s cars not being in the classics category, that's a crock, and 70s iron oxide has just as much right to the title as 50s and 60s steel.

E: Hm, "antique" and "historical" also might apply to older stuff, but they're also classics.

Fermented Tinal posted:I think 30s-40s cars are considered "antique" and anything earlier are known as brass era. Classic cars are 25 years and older. Thence the first of the 90's cars are entering classic car territory. The thing is that when the definition of classics came about, a car was lucky to live 10 years, let alone 25. Now of course we have a multitude of shitboxes that regularly going beyond that with no problem at all and 10 year old cars? drat near just run in. If the cars aren't in a rust prone area they simply will just live for well beyond the original ideas of classic, veteran and vintage. Veteran and Classic tend to be interchangeable words for the same "This car made 25 years"... also depending on your locale, veteran and vintage may be legally defined differently because veteran and vintage bring legal status changes (ie the ability to get different rego schemes, ability to be imported or ignore certain vehicle checks etc) The problem is now going to be that with so so so many cars making it past the traditional qualification for veteran / vintage plates - We now have the situation where a few thousand Camrys and Corollas are eligible just simply due to the fact cars just last a gently caress load longer, it doesn't matter if someone thinks it's a turdbox or undeserving to be called a classic. The thing that needs to be remembered is that most of what the fogeys call classics were the shitboxes of the day and every bit the Camry of the 50's and 60's.... Ttence yes if you have a 1991 Toyota Camry it's a classic car. And in a few years time said Camry will be able to be historically registered (30 year threshold where I am).... despite the fact there are STILL plenty of them about.

I feel like that's one of those knowledge vs wisdom things. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is actually a fruit, but wisdom is knowing that it doesn't go in a fruit salad. If you take a 1987 Camry to a "classic car show" you are in the wrong place.

InitialDave posted:If it's a ratty beater, perhaps, but if you treat it as a classic, there's no reason it can't be one. It's already old enough that seeing a really nice one is something to be remarked on. I dunno, most car shows around here have a "'79 or older" rule, and even the late 70s cars look out of place there. I'd think an 80s anything would be even more so, no matter how nice the condition is.

Man seeing a mint 80s shitbox brings me joy because they were never looked after. Going to a show and seeing on old econobox that's in better condition than when it rolled off the production line is great. Some cars you just disappeared from the roads entirely 20 years ago, that at least one person owns a spotless example of the car, no matter how poo poo is a good thing. ...I mean what's more AI than owning a shitbox that nobody else in the world loves?

Admittedly that's only, like, half a dozen.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Classic cars are 25 years and older. Thence the first of the 90's cars are entering classic car territory. Eventually the one last Hyundai Excel on the road will be eligible for Classic registration  I spend the morning replacing the shocks on the front of the landcruiser. From what we can work out, I bought the truck with 106K kms on it, at 110K kms on it the original Old Man Emu suspension went onto it, that was hosed after about 70K kms, so at 180K kms the Bilstein shocks went onto it. Its just done 305K kms. Really cant complain about 125K kms out of a set of shock absorbers on a 3T 4wd that actually goes bush!

It's been a never ending greybeard argument. "But my old car is older car so your old car shouldnt be here for *reasons* and ...." been going on ever since I had a classic Mini and the greybeards were getting up in arms when those things were becoming old enough to qualify

I went to the local PickNPull and happened on Rhyno's favorite car: Mazda 929 You bet your rear end I got the recirculating vents. Rhyno take them off my hands before I try to swap them into the 323 GTX, the mechanism looks like it can scale up or down for retrofits. I also got a sweetTURBO badge from a Peugeot 505, I haven't seen one in a junkyard in a decade at least. It was in really good condition!
