This caught my eye when I was wandering around town: I'm a bit shocked nobody had stolen the spring to sell for scrap.

My shop has a lift and good ventilation, so depending on the level of destruction predicted, we could do it inside there or right out front. The only neighbors are a sheet metal shop, rail workers, and a local biker gang.

I'm down for a Boston or Worcester area AI meetup. I'll even be driving one of my horrible mechanical failures.

Yesterday two people drove their cars into the ocean. The video only shows the second car go in. A car the driver borrowed from his dad. The accident wasn't a mechanical failure but it's still worth watching.

Slow is Fast posted:So should we start a "melt the gently caress out of huge motors using crazy rear end science + oh yeah new england AI meet" thread? do it! I am officially offering my redneck yard full of jeeps, parts jeeps, tractors, and home renovation debris as a cookout/destruction location. Plenty of parking available, so long as you have at least the ground clearance of an 01 Audi lowered 1". (I'm central mass, right at the 84/90 junction, if that's too far from everyone, nevermind)

If we made it a weekend, and sometime this spring, there's a good chance that I won't be on a boat, Alaska (boat), Suriname (boat), or offshore (ship).

I'll volunteer to host as well. I have a hackerspace in Nashua with an automotive area (lift, tools, etc), plenty of parking out front, and it's back by the rail yard so no one cares if we make a lot of noise. You do have to take it easy on the gravel drive though or the train guys get pissed .

Give me a date and I'll probably trundle up from PA in one of my mechanical failures. I have family in that area, so it gives me an excuse to visit them too.

March 10th and 17th we have a welding class scheduled, so it wouldn't be best to have a group in at the same time. Any weekend other than those and mid April should be ok with me.

Nashua sounds like a good spot too. I cranked up my air raid siren in the back yard today and the neighbors didn't even bother to come over and find out what was going on

Oops. Happened across this today. I was driving along and saw blinking lights which looked suspiciously close to my office. Zipped over to see our ~100 year old brick building + classic mustang having met. (I cut out the minors face.)

I'd say it's a constructive total loss...the frame & frame box at the right front are bent. See how the rocker trim's popped off on the driver's side? OTOH, anything's rebuildable if you have the money...
