The crunchy granola lifestyle must not only be made unmarketable again, its adherents must become nuisances to the zoning department
@MLE_online I have most of this accomplished.
Faded trellis
Hooptie car
Giant compost pit that the neighborhood dogs roll around in
Falling down partial fence
@smellsofbikes you do not have a hooptie car, but you're doing fine with the rest
@MLE_online You haven't seen it lately! More hoopty every day.
@smellsofbikes i do not believe you. This is hooptie stolen valor.
@MLE_online One of the many things that appalls friends about the spitfire is how often I take a turn and you can audibly hear a ding ding ding ding as some metal bit falls off and bounces across the road. (It's mostly extra bolts and nuts that got dropped during assembly, but sometimes it's stuff that came off. I'm REALLY glad it has old coil suspension where the coil's held in separately, because I've lost all three shock mounting nuts one time.)
@smellsofbikes still not hooptie
@MLE_online @smellsofbikes My pickup truck briefly crossed the hooptie bar, but my wife made me get rid of it a couple of months later, because she thought having the kids hold the door closed when going around corners was a safety risk or something silly like that. The kids thought it was great, however, because being a passenger was a very active experience in several ways. We pretended to be flying a steampunk airship every ride, and I love those memories.
@k0ffy @MLE_online I had a jeep where every time we hit real water people had assigned places to put their feet so it didn't spray up into the passenger area as much. Similarly active passenger behavior.
Current car has all the large floor holes covered by pop riveted in aluminum sheet so I don't have to do that.
