Dagen H posted:It's still got enough Saturn DNA that it oiled down the track on its first pass This just reminds me that a friend in socal posted on Facebook that he was about to go fetch a 1998 Saturn SL with 120k from Minnesota because $999 was a good deal. He did not accept my assertion that this was probably more than a cherry, rust free one was worth. I'll post followups to the horrible failures thead. [edit] Haha- turns out it's a mechanics special so he backed out. No poo poo sherlock. AnnoyBot fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Jun 22, 2019 |

I was trying to research the etymology of this one and all I got was this article that briefly mentioned something germane. quote:The most ridiculous thing that ever happened on one of those night fishing expeditions was the time we crossed Carolina Beach Inlet and borrowed a beach buggy. (Stripped down fishing cars were floated across the inlet on a barge and used to reach good fishing spots up the beach.)

Powershift posted:Hey folks Free shipping, right? I’m confused. Why do the pictures at the top show 5 different trucks, including at least one that is not Chinese (Scania). Are they copies? I’m looking at it on my phone, so it’s kind of hard to read the site.

um excuse me posted:Those axles across from each other are offset. That's how they work. The truck basically has pinion gears on the driveshaft, and thhe axles each have a ring gear. inside each housing, each ring gear is driven off a different pinion gear ![]() Pinzgauers do it too. ![]() The spider gears/locker is right in the middle there.

Was woken up at like 5am this morning by loud exhaust and figured it was some asshat with straight pipes on a Harley. But then an hour or so later a while parade of lumpy cam V8s start rolling down my street and by the time I got out of bed to see what was up there was a classic car show running 30 blocks up the street! It's apparently the Greenwood Classic Car show in Seattle running all day today. I'll take a few pictures of anything AI worthy and report back.
