Why in the name of all that is holy did any car built after 1950 come with 12" wheels?

bandman posted:I also tend to drive like a complete dickhead when I drive my little 91 Corolla. It zips in and out of traffic and feels like a little go-kart. It seems to actively encourage me to drive like a tool. What's funny is that I've actually gotten a lot more aggressive in my driving since I went from my Jetta to my Golf. I'm almost afraid to buy a Golf R as I will probably start getting lots of tickets.

I once had to use a pair of vice grips on the accelerator cable in my mom's 67 bug to get us home when it broke. There I was around 14 yo in the passenger footwell pulling on the cable to go while my mom steered and shifted.

I grew up hanging out with old people and air cooled people, so knowing how to drive a clutch was just sort of the default. One time I snapped my clutch cable about 20 miles from home and had to limp the car home. Luckily it had a freshly rebuilt transmission and new starter. Put car in first gear, start car, shift every 3000 rpms and turn car off when next light turns red. Rinse > repeat.

Computer viking posted:If you do your driver's exam in an automatic over here, you get a class BA license instead of B, and have to do it again in a manual to upgrade. Fairly strong motivation to learn a manual in the first place - and all the driving schools seem to only use manuals, anyway. (And we have a lot of obligatory courses , so you can't just learn on your own and show up for the test.) Ya, but in the US, it's only like 15% of cars are manual any more. In Europe and other places with culture, manuals are the standard. Here in the US we have to be able to stuff our face and text while driving, so that 2nd hand can't be tied up using a shifter.

Thinking about it, I actually learned manual by driving my grandfather's old international tractor as a kid. He paid me like $10 an hour to mow his grass when I went to visit

Speaking of push starting light vehicles. I propose this situation to you (since I'm about to do something stupid with garage space). How do you push start a car with suicide doors? Follow up question, how do you open the loving doors if the battery dies (no door handles).

Seat Safety Switch posted:Wolf spiders are cool as hell. SA is all like "oh jumping spiders are so cute they are our friends" but you can't help but be impressed when you watch a wolf spider run a train on dozens of ants pouring out of an ant hill without taking a scratch. Wolf spiders don't even make webs. They hide out in the rocks and just murder any bugs they see. I killed a black widow the size of a quarter the other day in my garage. gently caress those guys.

General_Failure posted:What's the big deal with spiders? Just never go sticking things blindly in places where spiders may be. I have been in my house for just over 5 years and never seen a spider in the house. Yet somehow I got 2 spider bites on my elbow of all places over the weekend. At least I assume they are spider bites. I can't imagine I got 2 random giant pimples on my elbow an inch apart.

I really like Wheeler Dealer, but it does annoy me that he basically never factors in the poor tall guy's labor. Oy we made 2000 dollars on this car after spending a fuckton of man hours, yay profit.

I once had to be the gas pedal in my mom's 67 bug. It snapped off right at the pedal, so I just put a set of vice grips on it while my mom drove and I gave throttle as needed. Another fun time was snapping the clutch cable 30 miles from home and using the starter in first gear to get home. Luckily it had a brand new transmission with good synchros.

I get 28 hours of PTO (paid time off) per month. This includes sick time. I get an additional 4 hours a month of EIB (extended illness bank) which can only be used after first using 24 hours of PTO. I get 10 holidays a year. I work for the government, I think that's the only reason I don't get worked like a dog.

How many horses did that 1200 come with? I know the sad little 1200 in my bug had 36hp at one time in its life. That is also why it is sitting in my parents' barn 1100 miles away. I plan to at minimum triple the power when the car gets put back on the road. Also.

My savings account that has enough money in it to basically pay for my bug to be finished earns about 10 cents a month. It's kind of sad.

Red_October_7000 posted:They used to call PTSD "Shell Shock" -it came from the British troops in the trenches of WWI. Here were these men, the sword arm of the mightiest empire on Earth, the ones whose job it was to make the King's will real, and they were cowering in trenches in the earth, unable to do anything to stop the shelling attacks. Ordinarily in a fight you can, well, fight. You can do something to influence the outcome. But in these conditions, they could do nothing. There is no defense against a shell and to come over the trenches was to be cut down by machine gun fire.. It is that feeling, of having something terrible happening to you, to your comrades, to your friends, and to be able to do nothing at all about it, that leads to "Shell Shock", so yeah, it makes sense to me, at least. Hang in there dude. So basically just like having a woman screw you over. Makes sense.

Slow is Fast posted:Tire rack will shave a tire for you. You have to call them and provide depth specs and it's like 20 bucks more for the tire, but it works great. This is good to know. A buddy of mine at work just had to buy 4 new tires because his rear got a nail in the sidewall and his fronts were too worn to just replace 2. I did not know that awd systems had issues with tires not being all the same wear.

If you ever get bored, find an old copy of the original Warcraft and try playing it on your current pc. The game was tied to the pc clock so it does fun things on computers running 1000 times faster than the old 386 33 of the 90s.
