Jesus Christ. As a DJ, I gotta say wtf. Why on earth would you have turntables (look like Stantons) in the back? Ok I get that you need a 2 channel mixer, so lets use babby's first battle mixer, but seriously. Then you paint over the platters with the same god awful paint scheme. Never mind that you cover the up the platters with a slip mat. At least I hope to god he uses a slip mat otherwise he will be chewing up every piece of vinyl he puts on it. Once again, what the christ. I cannot fathom this at all. Plus that's gotta be uncomfortable as gently caress to mix on regularly. Especially since it is setup in battle formation, hinting that this person likes to scratch; if they even know how to spin at all. </end DJ rant> That's an unfortunate amount of money spent to achieve nothing. I need a drink.

I DD an 82 245 wagon. It's my resto project. Earlier models have issues with the wiring; as in it's biodegradable. I've already replaced the engine wiring harness, and the rear wiring harness for my tailgate. Its already got the M46 manual in it and has been a solid workhorse for me for the last 2 years. I love this car. Slap in a turbo and some sway bars and you are set for an awesome ride on the cheap. Also parts are stupid easy to find, at least for me here in the PNW.

You people and your fancy cupholders. I got none in my 82 Volvo. All I got is a little indent inside the glovebox lid. Everytime I go through the drivethrough, I have to ask for a drink carrier and just place it on the passengers seat.

Light chat: I totally get what everyone is saying here. My 82 Volvo has a 77 front end, meaning single round headlights and that's it. Like this:  Most other cars around me are so much brighter than i have been seriously considering replacing all my light bulbs in the car with LEDs. Priced it out and it would be around $250 give or take. It's a bit steep, but I feel if I go through with it, my car will be more visible on the road. Also, thanks to all the brighter lights on the road, makes it harder to see my instrument cluster as well since my interior lights are 30+ years old. Might have to get that upgraded too.

I work a swing shift so I'm off work at 10pm. Around that time, theres not much traffic. Today I nearly took out a person who decided that longboarding in middle of the 2 lane road dressed in all black was a good idea. When I passed them they were using the left turn lane to go down another street. wtf people.

TotalLossBrain posted:I can assure all Everett-hating goons that the East side of the state is far worse. I'll second this as a Seattle native. Everett is awesome. My best experience was being hungry in Everett at last call. Everything was closed except for the one Jack in the Box in downtown. There was a huge line of cars and a bunch of random people milling about the parking lot. One guy didnt have a shirt and on his shoulder he had a red macaw parrot. We get through the drive through and pull into the parking lot and start eating when we hear a grunt at the drivers side window. We look up and there's a guy in a stained wife beater standing there and grunting. He told us he was just released from jail and wanted food. We tossed one of those Jack in the Box tacos away from the car and drove away when he was going after it. Then there's the tri-shitties. I bought my Volvo 245 from a pair of lesbians who moved from Cap Hill to Kennewick. Let me describe the drive there entering this magical town: You arrive in a field with a few sparse houses. One is painted like the US flag. The entire loving house is a flag. Down the road you approach the 9/11 memorial which is literally just a bunch of twisted I-beams stuck upright in a field and some flags stuck to it. While Everett has some meth, most people are actually just alcoholic Navy guys. Kennewick is straight up Meth-town. One big poo poo hole. I go meet with the owners of the Volvo in Kennwick and they showed me all the damage caused by the locals to the car. They ripped off the liberal and gay equality based bumper stickers, and even scraped one of them off with a knife. I'll take Everett over any of the tri-shitties.

Geoj posted:Jesus gently caress, my state (Ohio) actually has a law on the books that you cannot be cited for less than 5 over the posted limit outside of situations like school zones or where it would be unsafe for conditions. 2 MPH is well within margin of error of most speedometers at highway speeds. Colfax man, Colfax. It somehow managed to get itself the County seat in Whitman County. It even still has it's hanging pole so you can see where they hung people! How fun! My fiancée is from Pullman so we make seasonal trips out there to visit friends and family. Colfax is a shithole that all highways force you to pass through it. Highway 26 is the most common since its on the way to Pullman and Washington State University. When you drop into Colfax, you drat well better make sure you are doing EXACTLY the speed limit by the time you approach the signs. If the sign says 35, you better do 35. The actual highway speed drops from 55 to 25mph in downtown Colfax. There are cops constantly sitting there waiting for anyone and will pull people over for absolutely the smallest infractions they can find. The speed staggers down when entering this hell on earth and staggers back up when leaving it (55 > 35 > 25 > 35 > 55). I know someone who got pulled over for doing 55mph twenty feet in front of the 55mph sign. Technically still a 35 and he got nailed for it. I always recommend setting your cruise control to 22 - 23mph and just hunkering down till you leave it's lovely limits. The best is watching WSU students who arent from the area blow past you on highway 26 approaching Colfax. 9 out of 10 times you'll find them on the side of the road lit up by the cops. Colfax needs to be burned down and the ground salted.

JazzmasterCurious posted:This car is not Terrible Car Stuff, but Doug's review is, as always. Behold the Lamborghini Jarama (which I didn't know existed, and it's beautiful!). I've seen one of these in person. Here in Seattle there is a semi-private garage that stores one. It's in tip top shape and regularly driven by an old woman; who appearently owns one of the hotel skyscrapers here. From the garage I was at, they said there were only about 5 of these left. Not sure how credible that is but still an interesting oddball.

When I was born in 86, my mom had a brand new, white, 1st gen 86 Toyota Camry - with a turbo diesel engine! I have fond memories of my folks stomping the gas on the highway and letting a giant black cloud of exhaust out the back.  My dad on the other hand, had an acid green Chrysler K Car / Dodge Aries wagon. I loved riding in the back of that thing. But it was such a piece of poo poo that the car broke down about once every 2 weeks. My dad's mechanic finally told him he would fix the car for free if he sold it later. This was the only pic I could find in the color of the car we had. Fitting it's in a junk yard.  Did this rub off on me? I dunno, I'm only restoring an 82 Volvo 245 wagon that I am doing an LS+T5 swap in.

At least this guy plays with his toy.
