Spotted in a parking lot: I see a lot of badly faked M cars but this is the worst. I'm not sure what bothers me more; the mismatched ///M font or the fact he left the 325 badge on.

A 30th Anniversary M5 that was posted in my local BMW Facebook group If I ordered that car and it showed up with near-invisible stains, I'd throw just enough of a fit to get back as much of the purchase cost as I could (at least maybe $10,000 for the frozen paint). Then I'd carefully store all of the documentation/letters/paperwork somewhere, and be the guy at Barrett Jackson 2050 with the one of a kind error M5 Anniversary Car.

My $27 8-ton HF bottle jack has served me well so far. Throw away the terrible little two-piece lever and use a bit of pipe etc. I haven't actually used it to change a tire but it's been fantastic at forcing/pressing/tweaking various suspension bits into place underneath my jeep. A couple of days ago I found the one Brotruck to rule them all. Rear window corner Metal Mulisha stickers are for gays dude, it's all about the full stencil brah

I know we've moved on from DualieChat, but one of the contractors at work showed me A Thing he did ("While my wife was out of town"), and it relates too well. Dualies are obviously overkill, even for hauling livestock:   Video. Yes, it is a joke and bolted directly into the roof. Yes, that's a Neon with like 200,000 miles on it. He too was surprised the roof didn't peel back like a sardine can, but apparently he reinforced it with angle iron underneath

Slavvy posted:That's something I've wondered for a while. Do metal mulisha do anything other than t-shirts, stickers and other branding stuff. Is it actually possible to sell a brand just based on the brand with no actual 'product' for the brand? Is Quiksilver or Billabong anything other than t-shirts, beanies & branding? Maybe they contract out a few boards here and there, but at my local clothing racks it's the same poo poo with different logos. That's the way to cash in. My grandfather used to handmake fiberglass surfboards for wannabe-surfer movie stars during the 40s/50s; pure word of mouth out of Pacific Palisades/Malibu. Do I wish he'd read the future and just started pumping out boardshorts and building brand identity? The answer is YES OH GOD YES

The sheer amount of spandexed butt-jiggling health fuckers who think they're Lance Roidstrong, combined with the morning tide of I'M LATE FOR CLASS AND I HAVE A MESSENGER BAG kamikaze kids who watched a youtube about NY bicycle messengers means that even the most basic of quiet intersections become pure Avoidance Ballet. The group rides have gotten extremely ballsy ever since the California 3-foot law went into effect - I notice way more careless lane wandering and general lack of courtesy. A few months ago on my bike I got caught up along with several cars behind a bunch of cyclists blocking a road (that has a dedicated bike lane), and finally got so pissed off I pinned the throttle and did a few things I, well, do not recall. Also recently I was making a right turn on green into a freeway onramp, and was halfway through the crosswalk when a bicycle shot out of the shadows underneath the overpass into the crosswalk in front of me - on the sidewalk, heading against traffic. I was in my car and I knew if I stopped he'd slam into me so I floored it and he swerved directly behind me. gently caress that guy, I know he was timing me but he's lucky I was fast enough to understand poo poo and not panic brake. Maybe we need a Bicycle Ranting thread.

(Not saying you couldn't make one in your garage at home, but most people who can do it just go buy a jeep and do it that way it seems.) I'm not a Toyota guy but my friend who is says the TRD Pro (at least on Tacomas) is just a combination of the Offroad and Sport packages. The Offroad package has a rear LSD w/electronic locker, Bilsteins, medicore BFG Rugged Terrains, and IIRC the 2015 now has some additional downhill traction control stuff. The 4x4 model rides ~1" higher than the 2WD. The Sport package seems to be largely trim i.e. (non-functional) hoodscoop/colormatched bumpers/etc. He just got a 2015 Taco TRD Offroad 4x4 and it's a nice truck, but I wouldn't put it in the "dedicated done right offroad specialist" category. I'm trying to get him to take it out and see what it can do, but he's still firmly locked into BRAND NEW DONT SCRATCH. I completely understand, but still give him poo poo about going out to pre-run trails in my jeep for his prerunner

Oh man, that video is great. On one hand yeah, if that had been me I certainly would have grabbed the hose first thing. On the other, then you have emergency personnel arriving to a car fire wanting to spread to a house fire, and a downed power line laying in a puddle of water . Odds are the hose would still be running too because I dropped it and sprinted as soon as that line started popping. The other half of the power line/the drop is right above the faucet. What a great reminder how fast one safety hazard can turn into more severe ones rapidly. That video is like EMERGENCY RESPONSE CHECKLIST 101. *holding cellphone* "Oh, you want me to call 911???

AAA had showed up right as I got to the store and was waiting for the owner, which I thought strange. I talked to a nearby employee (loving the whole thing) who said the car had been there when he got to work early in the AM. Right before I went into the store, a very disheveled and scared looking teenager showed up with his tight-lipped dad to assist the AAA truck in getting the car off. Judging by my observations I would surmise that babby's first tipsy late-night beer run ended quickly with mixing up the brake and gas as he pulled into the slot, resulting in a spectacular launch off the chock onto the bollard

The head unit in my old Jeep started shorting out on bumpy roads after a 4x4 trip earlier this year. Lately it's been shutting off even if it's parked and I turn the volume up. I don't know poo poo about the install or anything as it came with the jeep when I bought it. Finally pulled it out today to see if I could find a loose connection - the first thing I saw was a huge ball of electrical tape wrapped around the wires. Always the sign of a professional install. This is what was underneath

Rhyno posted:One of the local chains had those "you must let the ad finish before you can pump your gas" setups for a while and then some dude went apeshit on one with a tire iron. I'm assuming that was the last straw and is why they turned the ads off. Goddamn - almost all of the stations around me here in SoCal have screens playing stuff, but it's usually the weather or sports. I'd go apeshit too if I was forced to watch an ad to pay to pump gas. That's ultra lovely. Also, our pumps have a single nozzle for 87, 89, 91 and another for diesel. I've never seen one that's not auto-shutoff either - my Jeep has a useless fuel gauge, so that's kinda important

About two years back they brought Subway into one of their more isolated locations, the first Subway in that town to boot. To hear him talk about it he regrets nothing more than that as his slide into the red gets bigger every quarter. Ugh, gas station subways are so terrible. I always see them at far-out remote stations when I'm fueling up after a backroads trip through the California desert. If you're hungry and out of food your options are: eat desert subway | buy a tiny $10 bag of beef jerky and a $3 water | continue ~45 miles to the in-n-out next to the indian casino. I am always briefly tempted by the thought of fresh vegetables dripping with oil and vinegar; then I walk by and look at the crusty tuna bin next to the wilted cucumber slices and realize men have made it across the desert without food before.

Somewhere out there is the guy/gal who stood up in front of a bunch of Mattel advertising people, took a deep breath and suggested that a pink-hued Barbie/Jeep campaign might yield some real numbers with little girls. Everyone chuckled condescendingly in the conference room that day, but they were all extremely wrong and despite how much I hate the results I hope that brave person was able to cash in on it somehow.
