He can't be sainted until he dies in a firey crash. Which won't be long, if he gets that thing out of the impound...

SockingtonTM is a trademark of Sockington Studios and cannot be used without prior consent. I posted this in the cellphone thread, but this tire was soooo close to a huge failure. One of the ladies at my wife's work had a meeting with a curb in their short bus(or so reported), but that does not make up for the awful dry rot going on. The wife wanted me to stop by and let her know if she she bother mentioning something. I suggested new tires all the way around.

I dunno, his Redneck Rollercoaster looks like a fuckload of fun. But I'm also about twice the age of his preferred age bracket. v  vLast I heard the province made him get rid of most of the fun poo poo, but I haven't tried to keep up with his antics since he got booted from YouTube.

Apparently back in the 80s/90s he filmed some kids jerkin' it, and got in a lot of trouble over it. Then he set up David's Farm, gained a lot of internet popularity and advertising money, a girlfriend, etc. Eventually, he split with her or vice versa, and she got all jealous of the money he was making or something, bad blood between them, went digging into his past, and used it against him to get the channel shut down and him in trouble with the province. ... anyone in the northeastern US have a decent size farm and feel like setting up a non kiddie diddling equivalent for Davids Farm and do crazy poo poo all day every day? I will do whatever ghetto fab and crazy stunts are required, and I promise I don't diddle kids... Apparently he was raking in $100k+ per year in advertising money just on his youtube channel. gently caress, I'd do that kind of stuff (the cars, not the kids) for 100k/year.

David wanted to become famous enough of youtube for his son to find him and see who he was. There's actually where he ends up meeting up with his son. At the point where he met his son, he basically said gently caress the youtube channel, the point of it was to meet up with my son. It served his purpose, it seems he's moved on from youtube.

I like the way you can see the oil slowly spreading and soaking into the wood at around the 1 minute mark. It reminds me of how my jeep used to treat my driveway  It was more of a land rover than most land rovers... where they simply mark their territory, it carpet bombed it.

I did that once so I could listen to CDs for the drive home from school, then promptly forgot about it. My next two vehicles were compatible with the same harness and I was lazy, so the duct-taped thing lived on for four years. Every now and then I'd remember about it, tell myself I'll fix it when I get home, and again forget for another few months. It still worked fine when I pulled it out of the last car though. My wiring jobs have improved since then, thankfully.

Just a strut, what looks like a CV joint is a dead dust boot/bellows. The part that's scary is the spring is broken.

Quick put It back on the car and take it to the dealer, there's a recall on that and you'll get 2 new springs, and actually I think they probably replace the whole thing because it's faster Edit: Mine went out at 50mph almost scared my shorts brown.

Was super easy to fix, literally 5 bolts (and a lot of PB blaster).

Did you replace the coil? Doesn't take a lot of misfiring to cook one of those bad boys.

Coils and plugs on that whole side. 2003 linc Ls V8. It's just routine maintenance on these coil eating motherfuckers

I've seen bent tubes from off road guys, but that's the first time I've seen that. You can even see where the plug weld broke free from the 3rd member.
