why the gently caress canada gotta be so big. That sucks about your stuff being on fire, Tremek, Good thing everybody's safe. Hopefully Insurance doesn't gently caress with you too badly. cakesmith handyman posted:I thought that one was real? Before doing it i googled to see if it had been done irl. found baaaaaad thing called the Eldorado Starfire which they somehow sold a whole bunch of.

my first thought was insurance not wanting to cover the cost of the modifications to the car, and blaming the car mods for burning down the garage.

Ferremit posted:Thats not what the box of .22LR rounds my fuckwit ex friend threw into a camp fire did. We heard things ricocheting off EVERYTHING as we hid our arses behind the biggest tree we could find while trying to push the dickhead out into the open to catch his own prize. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The bullets are 40 grains, the cases are about 10, that's 0.65 grams. Heavy airsoft pellets weigh .2 grams. They probably wouldn't have even broken the skin.

Gonna go pick up a pair of engines tomorrow. Plan got a lot less cool, but also a hell of a lot cheaper, which should mean it will be get done a whole lot sooner. The boat anchor ain't dead yet so i'm going to build a wood frame to build everything up and have it running before i even tear the 460 out. Researching all this relentlessly has really opened my eyes to how poo poo modern cars are.

The last thing i would ever want to do on this planet is chase a rental delorean around apologizing for it's failure. There's also the risk they could use it to travel back in time to before they paid you to rent it, and basically get free use.

Congratulations and thank you Nissan for making an 02 sensor that my crowsfoot o2 sensor wrench won't reach, but hey, I can buy a DEEP crowsfoot 02 sensor wrench! Because gently caress you, that's why. I'd cut the pigtail off of the old one and pull it with a regular socket, red locktite on the new one and jam it into a hose to thread it in. Sorry next owner, i'm the lovely PO of legend. You could probably drill out a dowel to twist it in too. The dowel and cup will act like a socket. it's not like it needs more than like 30 ft/lbs

I was responding to someone regarding throwing 22lr in a campfire, using the weights of a 22lr bullet and casing, and the muzzle velocity of a 22lr bullet. You're calling it bullshit because heavier bullets with heavier casings and a lot more powder had a lot more energy. Stop being a loving twat.

The house down the street from me caught fire and burned partially down (it was big enough to get in the news), they had the fire inspector on scene the same day, they had the place fenced up and remediation/repair started the next day.

It makes sense though because there's no better use of their time than being the fun police. They also just launched their crime map to show where crimes occurred in the last 14 days so you know to be careful there and....

angryrobots posted:Tubing and drinking is also fine in SC. There's a lake nearby where all the idiots go every weekend where the cops walk up and down the beach dumping out everybody's drinks. A while ago, there was a ricer forum meet that tried driving through it, they stopped 150 cars on the side of the highway and handed out all kinds of tint and exhaust tickets as a "never come back" kind of thing. They also give $150 tickets for swearing. It's not even a nice place. There are boarded up buildings right on the beachfront and everything's old and ratty but not the cool kind of old and ratty, just the "built in the 80s by an alcoholic and already in shambles kind of ratty and i just don't loving get it.
