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

No, he didn't cause any damage. That's why I only flipped off through the rear slider and didn't chase him down the street...

 

That's why I'm glad I have a dashcam and know some very good lawyers. I also know almost every cop in town (and I'm known as the guy who got hit by a drunk driver; Nothing more than that LOL)

 

Not the kind of bar you're thinking LOL...

At a Halloween party there in 2014 I believe, I got a kiss from a hot voluptuous blonde woman dressed as a dominatrix (leather corset, whip, fishnets, leather high-heel boots, the whole nine yards...)

 

Hope you got her number

 

No... she was actually engaged to someone... I just love bragging rights to the fact that I got a kiss from a woman dressed as a dominatrix!

 

Subaru horns sound wimpy from the driver's seat.
Not so much when you're in front of the car and the wife is trying to scare you.

 

I'm not sure if you realize this, but there is a big difference between the RADIATOR and the OVERFLOW BOTTLE.
The overflow bottle on these is PLASTIC, like it is on ALL cars.
The RADIATOR is that great big shiny aluminum thing with fins that sits directly ahead of the FAN.
Another thing associated with the radiator that is made of plastic, is the AIR SHROUD. It is the black plastic thing that clips onto the radiator and directs air flow out of it into the fan.

The level of fluid in the radiator BOTTLE will go up and down when the engine temperature goes up and down. When the engine is cool, the level will drop pretty low. When it gets hot, it will rise. This is because the volume taken up by the same mass of coolant changes with temperature, so the radiator cap allows fluid to exit into the overflow bottle when it expands, and draws it back in from the overflow bottle when it contracts.


While nothing lasts forever, these are pretty good radiators.

 

I replaced my wimpy 'mbeep-mbeep' so-called horn, with a pair from a 1992 Lexus 400


Works great.
Did the same to my Corolla

 

I've long been a fan of Stebel Nautilus horns. The Italian motorcycle police use them (random fun fact). I've had them on my last 2 motorcycles and last 2 Tacos. It's a self contained mini air horn, but not at all what you've seen kids on Youtube blasting. Imagine 3 or 4 old Cadillacs all laying on their horns at the same time, that's about what it sounds like. And they're only ~$30.

 

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

 

The person who stole my Autism Awareness ribbon bumper magnet has punched their ticket to hell in my opinion...

Not only that, it was blatantly obvious that someone didn't simply pull the magnet off the back of my truck and run for it...
My truck was parked right near my work, and whoever ultimately made off with my Autism ribbon bumper magnet attempted to take the "I HAVE GOOD BRAKES. DO YOU HAVE GOOD INSURANCE?" magnet beforehand. No honor anymore...


If you look closely, you can see the outline in the dust of where the magnet used to be, right in the center of the photo:

NOTE: Theft happened right down the alley from Puck; Photos were taken in Acme parking lot...

Pilfered bumper magnet looked kinda like this:

 

This is one of the last pictures I took before the Starsky & Hutch wannabes spotted me... And again the woman driving the security SUV admitted knowing who I was and that I worked for the college newspaper...

 

Original post

Another member requested to see the photos I took of the red Chevy dually mentioned in the original post, so here they are. Note that the pictures are particularly blurry on the left side (at the front of the truck in the first two pics).

These photos were taken with a 2009 Nikon D3000 with Nikkor 18-55 kit lens back in October 2012:

 

Popa Chubby is playing here in May... This is the blues musician I was told you about who is popular among bikers and expected to be a sold-out show...

Few things piss me off more than people or companies who seemingly prohibit photography on their property just because they can...

Case in point, or point in case... Whatever...

Saw this outside the front entrance to an international food market specializing in Asian food...

If only management knew how many photos I've snapped of the cool stuff they sell there in the past (live octopus from Korea notably)...



Found the pictures of the aforementioned South Korean octopus, from August 2016...

 

Seeing those stickers makes me want to go in there smoking a cigarette with a small dog in one arm and a camera in the other, then I'll just skate around inside until they chase me out

 

I had absolutely no desire to spend that until I saw those stickers.

 

Their place. They set the rules.

 

The reason I took the picture of the octopus in the first place (back in summer 2016) is because one of the other barbacks at Puck (a friend of mine) keeps saltwater aquariums and grows coral as a hobby, and I was curious to know if he could keep one of them alive. He said he could keep it alive, but it would eat his other fish and get too big...

I took a few pictures with my iPhone 4S (including the Octopus) that day and nobody noticed or seemed to care. The pictures in the original post were taken like 2 days ago...

 

I've gotten dirty looks for taking pictures of my own Tacoma in a mall parking lot before (by another customer; and after I flashed my keys and went out of my way to show it was my truck by unlocking the door).
