It lives! In what is a huge disappointment for posting in this thread, albeit a plus for me staying employed, the Deutz air cooled engine I posted about earlier fired up on the first try. Well, first I had to purge the air from the fuel lines. And then it shot oil across the shop because I forgot to actually plug in the gauge. But after that it fired up on the first try! To recap, this engine was handed to me as a pile of parts, disassembled by someone who no longer works at the company, and only ordered about 75% of the parts actually needed. Also it's the second time I've ever rebuilt an engine, let alone one that wasn't even close to working before it came apart, so I was pretty stoked when it worked immediately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ov3x979iNQ

i was given huge runarounds by 4 different transport companies while trying to have my rx7 shipped from new york to oregon before giving up and selling it. the car transport industry seems extremely bad.

Weird, the only issue I've ever had with shipping has been when I had my operational car transported from Texas to Michigan and it decided it didn't want to start anymore in freezing weather. I knew the starter was on its way out but it just straight died. Thankfully they were able to play with the ramps to get it off. The other time a nice man and his son transported two of my cars from Texas to South Carolina for $1500 in a closed container. Flawlessly. Guess I'm lucky.

I shipped an acvw from san francisco to chicago about 20 years ago, the car itself showed up fine but the half tank of gas it had in it disappeared en route.  I wouldn't have minded much except I had to detour to the nearest gas station for a jerry can so I could get enough fuel in it that I could get it off their lot. Must have some pretty slim margins if you're siphoning gas out of tanks.

I never thought to check the odometer! And it was somewhere down by Joliet, which probably has equally reputable locals. But on the other hand the gas nozzle was under the bonnet so I wouldn't figure a petty thief would know how to get to the gas.

If you're a petty gas thief its probably worthwhile to know how to get to it on a variety of vehicles.

Was it shipped in a container? If it was, it was probably defueled to prevent/mitigate a vapor explosion.

While not quite siphoning gas out of tanks, I know a dude who currently works hauling boats worth up to $750,000 across the US. If everything goes right, he can make $1000 profit in a east coast to west coast run. However if something goes wrong like what usually happened with the 6.0 ford f350 he was using when he started, it eats any profit up real loving quick. There was more than once him and a partner went out for 3-4 weeks and came back with $700 each after truck repairs, fuel costs and other necessities. And boats pays way loving better than cars. He tried getting me to do it with him multiple times after getting his own truck set up, but I know after a week trapped in a truck cab with him, I'd wind up burying a body in the middle of the nevada desert. And I refused to go out for 3-4 weeks at a time and only be home for a week. Thats just lovely no matter how you slice it.

That probably has more to do with insurance and/or drug smuggling than explosion worry.

financially racist posted:i was given huge runarounds by 4 different transport companies while trying to have my rx7 shipped from new york to oregon before giving up and selling it. the car transport industry seems extremely bad. Hot-shots are the horrible failure, here. Actual auto transport carriers will have at least half million $$ liability policies and drivers that are at least passingly familiar with how to load/unload a vehicle and their prices reflect it. Anyone with a dually and a fifth-wheel hook up, however, can get a MC and run as a hot-shot and charge just enough to cover their fuel and a teeny profit. When I still worked in trucking, any time we had LTL or fall-off load shipments, we did everything in our power to avoid having to book it on a hotshot. They invariably never report where they actually are or if they're going to pick up/deliver on time and usually demand cash before they'll unload.

Backstory: The following pictures are from my place of work. The machine in the picture is called the "Signature Pit Conveyor" and essentially the cages of paper seen in the background get dumped into it and they ride a huge belt up to a chute that drops them into a vacuum pipe to get whisked away to a paper baler. This poor machine gets the everloving poo poo run out of it and it is low priority for maintenance. Anyways, I was driving by it the other night and saw it partially disassembled and locked out:  Upon closer inspection:  I couldn't get a good picture of it, but the main drive sprocket (which is a bit larger than the idler in the picture) sheared several teeth. That belt probably weighs over a ton and one of those paper cages can weigh up to two. Must've made a hell of a noise when it went.

He was paying zero attention to anything, if the torn up earphone in the buffing wheel is anything to go by.

Did that thing rip his beard off, or do y'all think he had to cut it after it got tangled up? Because I'd think if it was just tangled he should have at least tried to remove the wheel and salvage some of it, that's a few years worth of beard gone fast.

100% he cut it. It would have torn out a large chunk of his face if it had tried to yank out that many hairs at once Besides that's just a handheld buffer. It would have just gotten tangled up and he'd let go of the button and it stopped. It's not like some big freestanding machine or something.
