Cage posted:Brother is doing drugs again. He was acting funny wednesday night. Eyes were like slits, kept rocking back and forth, talking about reaaally dumb stuff. Poured himself a drink and let it sit for 20 minutes while taking one sip. Seemed the same way on thursday night and me and my dad knew he was on something. My mom came home from her night shift, found him downstairs watching tv asleep with spilled pop all over. Ended up finding needles and heroin packets in his room. Sorry buddy. It's worse because you can't just cut off family.

McTinkerson posted:Cage, that loving sucks. I'd love to see something like that, that sounds like a cool experience! I've been looking around for a sporty little convertible type car, something older and a little unique, and despite more sane offerings, I think I've fallen in love with the Ford/Mazda Aussie-built Mercury Capri.  There's just something about the combination of it being kinda quirky, a vaguely ford product, a die-hard owner's club, and a stick-shift turbo convertible that pushes all my bad-car-buying-choice buttons. And there's tons of accessories to boot, it's like a toy car. The real reason I'm bringing this up is that I was doing some research on it and a Capri fansite had a scan of Consumer Reports reviewing the first US model and they absolutely roasted it.     I dug this quote up too: Ward's Auto World Magazine posted:It was almost free of redeeming qualities...It had absolutely no curb appeal. I still want a green turbo one really badly for some reason  Bonus content:

Half the parts are full on nla, to the point that guy were fabricobling garden sprayers as brake fluid reservoirs, the only source for half of the suspension bushings is an old dude who bought the molds and makes a small batch once every 2 years, etc. It didn't ride worth a poo poo, was slow and a brake job on it is a loving nightmare. In the 5 months he owned it, it spent a month sitting in his carport while he tried to get it tuned up and 2 months on jackstands in my garage dealing with a deathwobble any time he went above 40mph. gently caress that car forever. Just buy a loving miata if you want a small convertible sports car.

Luxrage posted:I'd love to see something like that, that sounds like a cool experience! I've copped flakfor this int he past from ohter Aussies but I'll say it again - run away. Run far FAR away. This is the worst piece of poo poo to escape Australia since Rupert Murdoch - they are without a doubt one of the worst cars in the last 40 years, Chinese cars included. They dont handle, they dont grip, they fall apart in new and inventive ways, the drop tops are a wretched POS and by any stretch of the imagination need to be thrown into the nearest car shredder and recycled into razor blades to be worth anything. If anything, those quoted excepts dont do how awful a Capri is justice. Now add on 20+ years of wear and tear and honestly, you would be struggling to find any redemming qualities. Dont do it.

The FWD Capri's sole purpose is to carry a B6T around until it's ready to be installed in its rightful place, the Ford Festiva. That said i have a hardon for them solely because they weren't sold in Canada.

Has anyone actually had luck doing the "create a listing" thing on Row52 when they needed an otherwise unobtainable part? Trying to find a rear bumper reinforcement bar for a somewhat uncommon vehicle.

Buddy of mine bought one of those Capris for $650 when he got back from a deployment. Turbo and a 5 speed so it was at least entertaining. We just thrashed it and essentially treated the throttle as a binary switch. It was a hateful little turd, but it managed to survive our abuse.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:39 and my temples are totally gray. By 34 y/o my sides were grey, and by 40 everything else was. 2 years later I'm Jon Stewart levels of grey and I'm just going to roll with it and not care. Worst thing is I started growing my hair long again 4 years ago, and having a beard. (While in HVAC I used to have rock a buzzcut due to heat and dirt, so after I stopped HVAC I wanted it long again, but now the fuckers all grey.) The beard? loving all white around the chin so I look like David Letterman these days. Going to have to go back to a buzzcut and clean shaven anyway I guess, just because of the white hairs.

29, been balding since 22, it's awesome though once you accept it, go all in and shave your head. No more haircuts, wasting time on drying or styling it. Just gotta have a beard too so your head doesn't look like an egg
