PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

The paint on this one was a little beat up, but it was no beater!

 

There are two mint Sunbird convertibles in my area too...

 

Looks like a 94 or 95 V6.

 

You know who else is crazy? The people who own one of them; There's a red one and a white one, and the owners are friends. An elderly couple owns the red one, and this Vietnam vet drives the white one while it is titled in the name of his daughter with mental problems who doesn't drive...

Both of these Sunbirds showed up at a cruise night in Levittown, the white one before the red one; I forget whether this was in 2020 or 2021, but it was definitely after COVID started. So, I started chatting with the Vietnam vet about the car, and started taking pictures. I say again that this was a fucking car show! So, the aforementioned daughter starts making a scene and throwing about me taking pictures of "her car"; I kinda just looked at her and said these exact words, "It's car show, lady", and continued to take pictures; This really pissed her off, and I thought she was about to get violent; The woman was in her 30s or 40s, and the dad had to be at least in his 60s. He'd obviously dealt with this shit before; He told his daughter to be quiet or else they'd leave, which shut her up, and told me to finish taking pictures and keep walking. I was later told by the owners of the red Sunbird that the daughter had mental issues and had previously been addicted to drugs...

 

If it was a GT, I would have kept going; One of the only reasons I'm still on Facebook is for this group called "Underappreciated Survivors (1973-2003)", and non-V8 Mustangs with the exception the SVO are considered underappreciated!

I found the original posts; It was last May, so a little over a year into the pandemic...

But yeah, I've never encountered anything like this before; It took numerous hostile encounters with strangers over several years to convince me that taking pictures of vehicles in parking lots was a bad idea, but this was a fairly uncommon vehicle that was entered in a car show! As far as I'm concerned, it's fair game!

 

What year is the Lexus?

 

I forgot to mention that this arrived on Saturday while I was actually gallivanting around Centralia...

 

I was born in California (I'm a Navy brat), but I've been in Pennsylvania since July 2005 and my truck was purchased new at Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA in September 2009.

 

I've seen my truck looking quite this messy during winters past, but if this is what you say it is, then no wonder my first frame developed perforation!

 

I’m also from California!

 

Those 94/95's have highly desirable suspension and brake parts for swap to a Fox, I have front spindles from one on mine plus I stashed another set away.

 

Low miles!

 

I wash the truck often, but there's a reason it was a recall; Frames don't just get perforation after 12 years!

On the highway just outside of Frackville as I was driving to my aunt's house, I saw several signs saying that there was a state prison nearby, and that filming and photography were not allowed; I have a dashcam in my truck, and I wasn't about to shut it off on a busy highway just because there was a prison nearby...

Did I break any laws at the federal or state level?!?!
