Since bluing is a form of rust you could still say that and then be all  when they look confused. A blued car is something I've never thought of, and I'm a little angry at myself for that. It would look so loving beautiful. Keeping it clean and corrosion free would be a motherfucker though.

Safety Dance posted:There should be a service called "My Friend Who's Good With Cars," where, for like $20 a month, a car-knowledgeable person will come by once a quarter and take 'er for a spin, perform a basic inspection, provide recommendations and note the mileage. They'll call you up and remind you about oil changes, and you can call them up and ask even the most retarded car-related question and receive an honest answer with no judgement. My friends are all already on this service plan, maybe I should start charging a monthly fee...

wilfredmerriweathr posted:I recently had a conversation with a friend thinking about replacing her Jetta with something not so failure-prone: What exactly is it that attracts people to Sebrings? One of my friends was looking for a good used car, and mentioned a 2001 in good shape. I told him what I thought about them, their usual issues (mainly the 41TE trans being a pile of poo poo), and that he could get much better car for the same price. He bought it anyway, and a year later the transmission ate itself. I'm sure he could hear the when I said "I told you so" on the phone. Then not a month later his brother-in-law asks me for car buying advice, and says "there's a Sebring just down the road..."  . At least I managed to talk him out of it. Now all three of them (including the wife) drive Passats  . I...I just don't know why I bother trying anymore.

I'm suddenly really glad that the only person I know that owns a 'vette is a swell guy that used to take his C5 to SCCA events and run the poo poo out of it (even has a few 3rd and 2nd place trophies). He takes ridiculously good care of it but had no problem driving it balls out on a track, at least until he got too old to feel safe doing it. Now that I think about it, he has said before that other Corvette owners piss him off to no end because most are loving insufferably smug pricks that wipe their cars with diapers.

So this isn't a picture but today at the salvage yard, while waiting on my parts to be pulled (I hate places that don't let me get my own poo poo), a large Hick comes in, dressed literally head to foot in mossy-oak camo. He starts chatting with the counter dudes, and mentions that he's looking for a 1965 Lincoln Continental hard-top. I love this gen of Continental, so I mention how rare they are, and how difficult it tends to be to fix them up, hoping to strike up a conversation, but no dice. Counter guy asks if he plans on dropping a 460 in it, and the Hick replies, "poo poo no, I'll just throw an SBC in it!" Counter guy then asked him just what he planned to do with it if he found one, and the Hick says, "Demolition derby! Those old Lincolns are tough as nails, they've got a double lined floor pan, reckon I could do some serious damage with one! " gently caress I hate ignorant rednecks.

Snowdens Secret posted:Not really seeing what's so bad about that. A car that old could be some high schooler's car or something, and it's an individual look on the cheap. Lord knows no Civic of that vintage has OEM paint worth a drat anymore. Funny you say that, I saw a Civic today of that exact generation that looked show-room new, a truly rare Honda. I also agree, that tape job isn't the worst thing someone could do to a car by a long shot.

MrChips posted:So I don't know if I'm late to the party or not, but I just found out today that the guy who was responsible for the design of the PT Cruiser also designed the Chevy HHR. Someone from this forum posted a page long rant (I want to say it was Muffinpox? Maybe?) about the designer, Bryan Nesbitt, going insane and locking himself in a whole floor of the Chevy design center with nothing but whiskey and cocaine for 18 months. I can't find it and my .doc that had the quote is corrupted. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I don't think it ever made it to a PYF quote thread.

Nthing the hate for Ford's new look. It goes both ways too, the new Range Rovers look just like the old ones but with new Explorer headlights/tail-lights grafted on. Just awful. e: or they're cribbing off Rover's new design and I just see a lot more new Explorers than I do Range Rovers. Either way, it looks bad.

Remote location turbo, designed for vehicles that don't have much space in the engine bay (or owners with too much space in their head). I've always wondered how much they add to the lag, having all those extra feet of piping. Not that that lets them off the hook for that air filter arrangement.

Tap the pedal to flash brake lights, if that doesn't work drop down a gear and leave them far, far behind. I used to have awful road-rage, although never to the point of physical violence, I just would scream at morons until I thought my heart would explode. Now I either ignore them, maybe call them a shithead under my breath, and increase or decrease my speed until they aren't a problem anymore. Other people's stupidity (or actual malice) isn't generally worth having an accident (or aneurysm) over. e: so I'm not just contributing to this derail:  The URL at the bottom there is a goldmine of horrible poo poo.

Kinda surprised at how well the AE86 seems to have held up, all things considered. Although it does look like somebody went through the windshield.  Saw this at my girlfriend's apartment complex. The rear spoiler had to be only a dozen or so degrees off vertical, I can only imagine it acts more like an air-brake and gas mileage destroyer. The rain makes the paint look much better than it was, it had pretty bad orange peal. I went to high school with this idiot. At least the rear window sticker is mostly truthful, I can totally believe he "built" this in his backyard.

I was amazed it didn't have a drift charm on it, all his buddies cars have them. They all gather at the only 24hr gas station in the entire county (conveniently next to the only traffic light) and sit in the parking lot for hours, occasionally making a solitary run down the highway and back, but never past the speed limit since it is also 1/8 mile away from the police station. It is the lamest loving thing.

Vigo327 posted:As far as i can tell that's a pretty typical half-rear end roll bar/harness installation. There are ways it is not great but nothing that makes it abnormal. It's safer than it would be without a roll bar, certainly! Actually an improperly designed and/or built cage makes a car even less safe in an accident, since you have added a bunch of steel tubes into your passenger compartment that will become a twisted pretzel of death around you when it inevitably fails.
