Maybe picture for illustration porpoise only?

 

No not at all


Youre a porpoise

 

No, pretty sure it’s a VW LT1
The weight might make the car understeer some tho......

Years ago in Cali, there was a guy with a white VW rabbit with license ML8 ML8. Think Alice and wonderland. Took me about a year to figure it out..
It looked kinda odd, with super wide tires and Porsche phone dial wheels. Then I realized the car was much wider than normal.
Guy had taken Rabbit body panels, modified them and stuck them on a Porsche 928!
Awesome!
Same guy had a 914 with a Chevy V8 in it. Also awesome.

 

Too bad semenuk doesnt compete anymore

 

15 or so years ago there was a fella down in puyallup with a 502ci in a 60’s beetle. It was still rear engine using the the transaxle from a front drive 70’s caddy

 

Also I’m reminded how sarcasm does not translate well in text.

 

Fuck you i’m taking everything literally and to the “angry liberal arts professor” category

Enjoy your ban

 

Theres a guy around here with a yellow Porsche (im not up on the model numbers) with a Chevy in it. Want to say a 383 stroker. Saw him at a car show and know he took it drag racing (had a full cage and all that). had a licence plate with "German Engineered, American Powered" for the frame

 

Yes it does.
We just like busting ur chops!

 

Dated myself didn't I. Who is king of the hill these day, Rheeder?

 

Yup, and Nogatkin. Rheeder won Rotarua

 

Alright question for you tool guys.
I have to create a offset PO through Snap-on since my other coworker fucked up my tool isle.
On your chrome sockets, do you prefer 6 or 12PT? 6Pt always seems to sell better IMO, but the manager wants me to only order in 12PT.
thoughts?

 

I generally want to buy 6 point sockets since I feel they are stronger and less likely to round off a bolt than 12pt. And for sockets, I don't see the benefit of 12pt like you would with a box wrench and needing to adjust the throw in a tight space. Just rotate the socket a bit on the ratchet to line up.

But I could see a full time mechanic wanting 12pt sockets for tight spaces, since time=money, and a 12pt is likely to fit faster than having to adjust a 6pt to fit.

 

I’ll always grab a 6pt first, more contact on the bolt or nut, probably not enough to make a serious difference, just a psychological thing, with 12pts I’m always imagining rounding bolts off or splitting a side of a socket because the sides of a 12pt socket have less material than a 6pt

 

Do you see 6 point fasetners or 12 point fasteners at work? Betting the vast majority is 6 point

I would get 6 point sockets. Unless you work in a field that has a lot of 12 point stuff.

It is nice to have a set of 12 points around for the times you do run into 12 point stuff (like some flywheel bolts)

 

Damn deer. Barely tagged him and ripped my bumper.

Guess it’s time for the low profile winch to be gone.

Any recommendations for aftermarket bumpers?

I think this is beautiful

 

I like Relentless. If you barely tagged the deer maybe there is good meat on it. Did it run off or die?

 

Worst part about it, he rolled twice and then hopped off. The least he could do was give me some meat in the freezer

 

Got it stitched back together for now. The tab that holds the flare on popped off and is stuck in the fender, hopefully it didn’t break the part on the actual flare because I don’t want to have to buy a new one
