I like the second car from the start - it's pretty clear he's taking the whole family for a spin. There's a blond haired kid in the back.

Heh, just checked out Google Maps and the remains of the approach section of the ramp still seem to be visible, but it also appears that the ramp and artificial hill itself have been leveled again. https://goo.gl/maps/qggz9

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzdI2vCW75o So apparently this is a thing: a stripped down Crown Vic complete with lights, dummy cop, solar panels and a front tow bar insert. Can be wheeled to and fro by one guy and a truck. Place in construction zone, watch motorists not speeding brake check each other, I guess.

Well, the website for the decoyvic is defunct so maybe it wasn't such a viable business after all...

Disgruntled Bovine posted:That said, I bet they're expensive, just looking at that design I'm not sure how you'd make it in bulk cheaply. I was thinking the same, I want to say they're machined but that would cost :headsplode: bolind fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Jan 1, 2016 |

I'm no expert and have no professional background in this, and looking closer, it seems they could be stamped/coined, is my (not very valuable) opinion.

Just discovered This Old Tony. Basically a super chill dude with great production value loving around in his garage. Highlights include lots of machining, DIY 4-axis CNC welding and great understated humor. If you like AvE you'll surely like this.

Agreed. I'm all for crazy wheelies but I don't want Finnegan to have back issues for the rest of his life just so I could get my daily dose of lulz.

The latest AvE video on rusty bolts and penetrants has me a bit soured on ChrisFix - turns out he blindly copied some data that were in lbs and presented them as ft/lbs. It's my impression he's a decent shadetree mechanic, but an engineer he ain't...
