@ai6yr Love the roadkill sticker.

They did a wonderful thing for US automotive culture. I particularly loved the Monza with 5 leafblowers in the hatchback being used as blowers into the carb.

@sarae @ai6yr During the covid lockdown, when I was working from home and barely driving once every two weeks, I got a huge snail infestation on my engine block. (Discovered when AAA popped the hood to jumpstart the dead battery.)

Weird and gross.

Luckily, the Navy trained me for exactly this sort of mess: FOXTAIL BRUSH got rid of them.

@sarae @LRRRonEarth @ai6yr Speaking of which, today I was driving our old truck to pick up some bricks when I saw a Cybertruck and thought to myself, my God, even on a burning planet I am more righteous driving this 26-year-old 12 mpg V8 than that asshole is in an electric vehicle.

What a world. What a world.

@msbellows @sarae @LRRRonEarth @ai6yr And I bet your truck is not subject to a recall because the rear wheels fall off.

@crazyeddie @sarae @LRRRonEarth @ai6yr FWIW, we drive that old Tahoe very little, when a truck is needed, and making mew more efficient trucks uses more energy than maintaining an old one.

Haaa. I was thinking the same thing.

Mustang, for sure. But those wheels didn't look like the wheels I remember from GT/LX V8s. And they're too fancy to be on a lesser 'stang.

@SpaceLifeForm You might get a fair amount of that back in shape with a hammer. Remove the inside panels and bang away. Though, I suspect the inner structure is somewhat mangled too.
