 I have nothing against Civics. Hell, I had a '98 DX Hatch before my current car, but a Panty Dropper sticker? Not sure about that?

Oh poo poo its Daily Driven, that must be rough in a fuel injected 20 year old Honda that probably has a/c and starts no matter how cold it is outside.

I tell people I rode around on my Enfield motorcycle (17hp on a good day, a 60-year-old kickstart-only engine, total loss oiling system) for two years straight in northern Idaho out of necessity and they don't blink twice. Tell them you drive daily in an appliance econobox with a wing glued to the back and they shudder in horror and respect.

My first car (DD) was a 30 year old Galaxie with a tired 289, 4 wheel non-power drum brakes and no heat (in CT) so gently caress that guy.

There's a red F250 with dualies that I see around Bathurst occasionally, that thing is bigger than the H2 hummer (chrome everything, I need to get a photo of that one) one of the prison wardens owns. Ive seen a few of the bigger F trucks around Adelaide recently- There was an enormous F250 twin cab dualie in the bunnings car park last week and the week before I saw an F650 driving down Main South Road. The thing was bigger than the hino truck beside it!

After seeing more than my fair share of hack-job wiring harnesses from engine swaps (and having to fix some of them  ) in Civics, that sticker might be something to boast about.

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:They still had total loss oiling after the war? Well, the engine was originally released in 1939, but that one had an open valve cover and felt pads you oiled for the valvetrain oiling, so it looked a bit different from the current engine, so people really say the current one hearkens from the 1952 Bullet model. Even in 1939 total-loss was getting a bit outdated, which is why Enfield has always been low-tier, even before the bust of British motorcycles.

All classic British vehicles use total loss oiling systems. The dividing line is whether or not it's intentional.

I remember Jeremy Clarkson was talking about a new Jag once and mentioned how they outsourced the onboard computer system to the Germans because Jaguar engineers couldn't figure out a way to make it leak oil.

Uthor posted:The worst was the one time someone decided to leave their running car stopped right behind my car as I was leaving for work. Ended up knocking on doors at midnight to find the person so they could move it. There was an open spot two spots over from me! I gotta question your handling of that situation. Their car was running...with the keys in it? Was the car door locked? I'm not entirely sure you really needed to go and bother anyone else to move the car for you.

I think it's not something I'd want to have to do, myself. Getting into someone else's car without their consent is something you might get into some trouble for if caught in the act, despite them still being in the wrong for parking inconsiderately.

Wow that just reminded me of a terrible car thing relating to getting in other peoples cars. It lead to a fight and then death for the car owner who was rightly pissed about some stranger in his car.

Is juicy a dog? A child?? Someone's stage name??? I don't have a picture better than instagram but it's not like there was anything else to see. I saw a grand caravan a couple weeks back one with low profile tires/rims and a couple inches of lift on the rear suspension but couldn't get a picture of it

Last week I opened a guys car door to turn off their lights, I noticed it on the way to the store and on the way back they were still on so I did it, but I still felt paranoid that someone would freak out at me. I've done the same for open windows when it's raining in the middle of the night. And yes, apparently there are that many people keeping their cars unlocked.

`Nemesis posted:Found outside a bar, it sat there for a few hours like that. Only things I can think of - either it's a bait car left there by the local PD (though an ineffective one since half of the fun is locking the perp in the car... with no roof they could pretty easily jump and run) or the owner is well known in the area and is also someone that people who would steal that car do not want to piss off. But it's more likely the owner is impossibly dense.

Mighty Horse posted:No, but the 3rd pedal is. What little hard data I can find suggests that manuals are extremely unlikely to get stolen even when corrected for the differences in overall numbers. I also found numerous stories of carjackers getting busted after finding that a car is a manual. In the case of the Viper, if you didn't care about the car's condition when you found it, there's a drat good chance that even if someone did try to steal it you'd find it pretty close to where it was left
