kastein posted:man, that sucks Hey, my first (and current) car is also a Cherokee. It's my dad's old Cherokee that he drove until the clutch broke, and then sat for about 7 years until I got off my rear end and started working on it. Then stopped working on it for another year or two cause I bought a project car, drove their car, and didn't really need one of my own. Also transmissions were expensive. Long story short I got it up and running and it runs like a new car now. Also I am a crazy person who's put about $4000 into a car worth $300. Although in my defense the car has sentimental value. My parents bought it a month before I was born, and it's been with them since. I've the thing my whole life and plan on keeping it indefinitely. And there's honestly not a lot I can complain about with that car. Except that oil refuses to stay in the engine for whatever reason.

I hope he pulls through but that really doesn't sound good.

I keep trying to think of new cars I want, but nothing really makes me that excited about them. Old cars however, I've got my wishlist made up: I want a '48 Chevy Loadmaster/6400 converted to be car carrying flatbed, '48 Lincoln Continental swapped with a more powerful/exciting engine, and maybe some form of a 40's Buick Ambulance or something. Of course, my impossible to obtain dream truck is an old school car carrier semi, like so:  You can find those Chevy COEs easily enough, but I'm guessing all those trailer have been lost to time.  Still though, a man can dream....(about having a job that lets me afford all this...or the metal working/engine working skills to pull any of this off.)

kastein posted:I still want a Jeep J20 or J3000 Gladiator, an M715, an M816, and maybe an M123A1C. I might get an e30 or something if I go nuts, but I can hold 0.95G turns in the XJ, and go fast enough to get myself in a lot of trouble, so I'm not sure what purpose it would fulfill. One of those dinky old subarus would cut down on gas a lot... but I can't find one with the right options (4wd, manual) in my pricerange. A buddy of mine had a J20 back in High school, and at the time I thought it was a kinda ugly truck, but now I wouldn't mind having one. It's a good looking truck, nice and square as a truck should be. Properly Modded to be used for offroading of course. Also had to GIS a few of those Military trucks and I think I might want a M816 too, I can see where having a big ol Crane truck might come in handy.  Although realistically the next vehicle I'm probably going to be driving is some E-series van, if this HVAC tech course I'm taking pays off. How exciting.

So after reading about the 30th anniversary of the Sunshine Skyway collapse I realized I had never actually seen that bridge in person. Happened to be in Tampa today to see some relatives, so I decided to check it out while I was there. Gotta say that is a really pretty area around the bridge. Should have brought a pole to do some fishin'

Yeah, If I'm going to be wearing flip-flops and driving I usually just go barefoot in the car. I can use the clutch pretty ok, but it's 100x easier barefoot.
