New England B.S. Thread

I would be full of rage if I lent a classic car to a buddy and he did that. He'd have wanted to stay in jail to ensure his safety.

Hopefully the car has insurance that allows other drivers. Classic car insurance is a bit touchy on who can drive and what you're using the car for...

 

Poor car

 

What in idiot, I know exactly where that is. Hopefully no fluids were released into the marsh

 

I'd say he gets found almost fully submerged in a marsh fairly soon...

 

Other than the driver's shart of panicked alarm when he realized what he'd just done, no. The newscaster said that there hadn't been any leaks, fortunately.

 

There was a 2.5 ft one, crossing the Stop and Shop parking lot in Orleans yesterday, accompanied by caring bystanders. i just saw it from a distance and am not familiar with them, but I did notice the pretty big tail...!

 

Ya they are really cool looking. Definitely look like dinosaurs. Here's the one from above closer. Usually a few babies will get crushed by cars every year, but most people in our neighborhood will stop and help them across the street.

 

I don't even let Linda drive my truck. No way I'd ever lend anyone my classic car

 

"Promise I'll be careful though...."

 

.....Oops

 

"It was overheating man! I had to cool the engine off before it blew a gasket!"

 

Slow night

 

This is nice.

 

Did you buy that from Executive? I was eye balling that impact if that's the same one!

 

I really want to get an electric impact. I hate my pneumatic one

 

I have a cheap-o Harbor Freight one and it actually works really well.

 

Rob, how dark are your front windows tinted? I'm having the front ones of the Ford tinted this weekend and I can't remember how dark my Tacoma's were done.

 

I think everyone does 35% or 30%

And my husky impact won't budge even my lugnuts

 

35% is legal I know, but I don't know what my Tacoma was. I remember how dark Rob's windows are and was wondering if he was legal or if he went darker. I'm having the rear window tinted pretty dark because of Joseph's rear facing child seat. I had to get creative with the headrests and a towel on a trip back from NY in late afternoon. Sun was coming straight in the rear window in the little guy's eyes. Made me miss the cap.

Seriously, try the Chicago Tools impact from HF. It'll make short work of your lug nuts. The Ford's lugs are supposed to be torqued to 150 ft-lbs and it zips them off no problem.
