Just curious, but how does one end up daily driving a Gremlin? Of all the old terrible cars one could get attached to, the Gremlin seems like it would be at the bottom of the list.

Well he was looking at Rangers and Corollas for his first car, and I sent him the link to the craigslist ad.

Yeah but in my defense he's keeping tabs on AMC Eagles and Concourds for if and when he gives up on the gremlin so I'd like to think I've managed to make a difference

My uncle that married into the family and lives on Peuget Sound is the guy that made (funded, designed, and acquired the cars for) Gremlinhenge in WA. He collects gremlins and pacers.

Even he doesn't daily drive them.

So in Camaro news, I added it to my insurance while I sort the rest out, figure that way I'm being responsible whIle I begin untangling the crayon smiley face on a stained bar napkin for a title situation. It literally doubled my monthly cost, for a guy that hasn't had an accident, claim, or ticket aside from a parking ticket here or there in almost 8 or 9 years. gently caress, last accident or ticket I had were both in the black 88 325ic I sold to fund Lowered Expectations.

In retrospect there was also the moment of "loving insurance and arbitrary price gouging and their reign of terror" he exclamed, while at full lock power sliding out of the 711 parking lot in the rain earlier. And getting loving destroyed at my first red light race against a volvo wagon who saw me having fun and making noise. But loving insurance, man.

I did find the previous owner on facebook after finding a slip of paper with his name and a PO box adress, due to a rather unique last name.

His last time he posted anything was almost exactly around the time Camaro Girl aquired it :crossarms:

Since he had his arse kicked by an 850 he needs to find a nice B5202 B5234T in the junkyard and swap that in, obviously it's superior. Then go racing again.

Then, I pulled out my phone and hit shuffle for some tunes cause the radio isn't working lol, and these three songs came on in this order. I thought it was only on album not library until the third song started.





E:vvv ain't showing up on my end despite checking the link, it was Primus - American Life if anyone else has the same issue.


Then I guess I blacked out because somehow I came to in the absolutely necessary aisle at Oreillys about 20 minutes later.





And I'm gonna need at least two kickers and 1500 watts like yesterday, and figure out some way to make the tape deck work because I am the hardest I have been in six months and I must share it with everyone at 140dB of the finest bottom shelf hacked together audio gear that pawn shops have to offer.



And this is just the first of three cases...

Yeah, probably too late, but anyway; You beautiful man you.
That's a hell of an update. I was thinking about this thread and AI in general when listening to Ginsberg's "howl". Especially the line: "with dreams, with drugs, with waking nightmares, alcohol and cock and endless balls,"
Judas was my 90s workout music, Primus was my 90s standing around a campfire smoking music.
Shame I live on the other side of the planet as I'm clearing out the old house me and my brother used to live at. I have some kicker splits and a pioneer trash can sub; he had a kicker sub, class d amp, and a 4 ch kicker amp wtih some splits of what type I'm not sure. It's all going in the bin right now because I have a unlicenced ute with no money and also not licensed to drive again so I can't go get anything, and he just doesn't care about his old stuff any more.

Title woes?

Okay so y'all remember the marvel vs Capcom death match in my kitchen at 5.30 am a few weeks back? Well, I knew better but I showed off the Camaro to her, and suddenly was getting hugs, laughs at my jokes, we should hang out, etc. There was the definite impression that she was very interested in it,and as she needs a car really badly she would be ever so grateful. Made me wonder if I was missing out not taking a pass at her because she drat fine yo. Honestly I wasn't half because I'm still not ready, and half because I already know in advance how that story ends.

Then a few hours later, unexpectedly and totally out of the blue I ran face first into the second girl in an entirely different part of town. She saw the car and said she lost my number and took it down and said she really wants to come hang out some time soon. Then passes on the message first girl is in the hospital and it's serious. My message to her goes unanswered.

Last night I was participating in good wholesome ChristIan activities with my prayer group and with no knowlege of its existence at all discovered there exists a 40 minute long cam video of the first girl, and it has been confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's not just a doppelganger. That girl is a FREAK, and figures like that should honestly be illegal because God drat I loving near had a heart attack.

Response from girl 1 this morning. Diagnosed with endocarditis, getting discharged but going back in for several weeks soon. Wants to see me before she goes in.

Now. Morally where would someone stand along the thought of give her the camaro, hit it and quit it, hold onto it while she's in the hospital, go after the second girl, and pray to God there's complications
