I'm not sure how much of this is actually an Aztek, though.

IIRC, that thing has an LS7 swap. Some form of LS swap anyway.

I want to get knobby truck tires for my Interceptor, make it a sort of rally car.

There's a guy here on Guam I see rolling around occasionally that has a lift on his CV like the guys who run giant wheels, but instead he has some truck wheels and some 31" or 33" Kelly Safari tires on them. Looks loving hilarious, and every time I see it I feel a bit jealous.

There was no sane way to get a picture of it, but while driving home I spotted a Miata slathered stickers. Among the most prominent: "Twilight Mom" and "NOBAMA".

:wtc:

Similar, saw a new Edge on the interstate here in Tampa yesterday that was covered in bumper stickers. Two that stuck out were "NOT MY PRESIDENT" with a picture of Obama, right above a "PROUD TO BE WHITE" sticker.

With the US Navy plate for Florida. Made me sad to be somehow associated with someone like that.

Sorry, in the thousands of times I've pumped gas I've never had a situation where I had to go to a pump on the wrong side. I've gone around and backed in to an empty pump, or waited a minute or two but I've never felt the need to snake a dirty hose across my car.



Naval Base Guam. Sometimes the wait can be 30+ minutes for gas, if you're waiting for a left side access pump. Or you can usually wait two minutes for a right side access, pull up a bit more, and bring the hose around your car.

Also to make it worse is the station could only be accessed from one side, and you couldn't pull through then back up, or be facing the opposite direction.

Situations outside of normal do exist.

That said, I'd love to hear your view on motorcyclists who stay on the bike while fueling.

When I was car shopping a few years ago I was looking at G35 coupes and every single one listed on Autotrader or Craigslist had a salvage title. Every single one.

This has caused me to come to the conclusion that the only people who buy G35s are the kind of JDM-boner shitlords who call their car a Skyline and promptly wreck it trying to Wangan Midnight it up.

More like they were leased by older people, then came off lease cheaper than a 350/370, on top of being somewhat fancy. It put them smack dab in the price range of early 20s guys who have nothing better to do than doriftuuuu them or donk them.

Also, RE: the 435i Gran Coupe, how does a coupe have 4 doors? Doesn't coupe mean "2-door"?

The only company with more nonsensical naming conventions than BMW would be Infiniti, where everything is a "Q". God, that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

Nah,coupe can have 4 doors. Generally just denotes a lack of a B pillar.

However, apparently Ze Germans have their own thoughts.

Per wiki " In Germany the definition of the coupe was finally divided into the classic coupe and 4-door coupe. This definition and concept of four-door coupe (instead of sedan) are evident in Germany, but they are not yet widely known in the rest of the world."

.45 ACP is actually a relatively slow-moving round, and would probably just splash off of all but the least sturdy of engine blocks. A round with greater energy, such as .338 LM, would be better suited to disabling a motor vehicle.

You too, eh?

I warned my parents they really need to change their transmission fluid on schedule. They'd never done it, and still have never done it. Bets on how long a 4R44E in a 2000 Ranger makes it with filthy fluid before it kicks the bucket? :suicide:

(it's already got some hard/slipping/funky shifts occasionally and they aren't doing a drat thing about it. Can't wait to find out.)

Going off what I've seen...300k, minimum. If you flush it now and make it nice, it won't last another 10k.

It will make it there and be absofuckinglutely horrible, make every noise in the world, and feel like it's going to explode. But it'll do it.

edit: my MiL had a 97 Grand Cherokee (that they promised to me but then sold to a crackgead for 1400, but I'm not bitter no sir) that hadn't had its fluid changed in 120k miles of stop and go, no more than 35mph traffic. Apparently the mechanic told them that he had never seen or smelled fluid that bad.

Same woman who swore up and down that jeep wouldn't do 70mph. The one time I had to drive it, I followed my FiL onto the interstate. When I hit 55, it was like a goddamn wall. Held it to the floor for a moment, then it bucked and chugged and shot a giant loving black cloud out the rear end and ran goddamn perfect.

Lots of drivers will happily defend cyclists but very few bikers will. Because we're in the exact same situation every time we ride, except we have the benefits of protective gear, mirrors, an engine and brakes + tyres that aren't garbage. I'm unable to sympathise with cyclists when their behaviour and decisions seem to be directly intended to wreck their poo poo. Maybe other cities that are more cyclist friendly are different, I wouldn't know.

I would hit a cyclist and feel nothing. Seriously, I have no hatred for anyone based on race, religion, who they want to gently caress, or anything else...but assholes in lycra on a bicycle that cost more than my motorcycle and most cars that I've ever owned pretending that no loving laws apply to them have turned me to hating everyone I see on a bicycle that isn't obviously homeless or a day laborer.

Maybe you're trying to trap me with how the name Vortec existed before that; if so you're right and I should rephrase what I said. The L31 Vortec 5700 was introduced in model year 1996. While true that they were making V6s or whatever before that with the Vortec name, the engine (and heads associated with it) that people generally refer to as a "Vortec 350" did not exist in 1991.

I just don't get why these guys do motor swaps with such poo poo engines. Of all the small blocks available, why would you do that to yourself?
