1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

yeah wherever rich people/wealth is concerned the level of audacity in the related crime just goes up as well I guess.

My wife is super into art theft history so I've kind of gotten into it a bit by association

she was thrilled when I found this book for Sofia in the library

 

It's definitely true of exotic cars. An old Ferrari or Lambo can be treated as an asset rather than a vehicle. Not sure the same can be said for generic cars from the '80s and '90s... but people and markets are funny sometimes.

 

Looks like the 100 series is starting to hit the bottom of the value curve now too, been seeing a lot of cheapo ones lately but this takes the cake, less than 3K

what the fuck is a Chelicerates and why does it sound like the Greek god of sexual perversion

 

get an OBD2 dongle and Torque pro, check IPR and HPO values lol

No sense in throwing parts at it til you can nail down further. but yes long crank is a HPO issue. Could be the pump, an oring somewhere, the IPR, etc. Does it crank no start when hot?

 

I think I might hate scorpions more than spiders the more I think about it

that scene from Hook where they stuff the guy in the "Boo Box" full of scorpions has stayed with me ever since I saw it at ~8 years old

 

Speaking of having stupid money

 

I knew people like that when I was in school in Santa Barbara for a couple years

 

This guy Zubin who's parents got him a brand new M3 as a sophomore.

He always wondered why other kids parents weren't doctors or whatever.

One of his parents had a law firm and the other was a doctor.

Same with Steven; I got my 7MGTE motor from him (free) and his parents bought him a new WRX.

One other kid who I knew..drove a '70 big block Camaro. Was his sweet 16 present? I forget.

Kids at my old high school were definitely built different.

 

big grandpa smells like Marlboro Reds vibes

 

Yup. Thing hasn’t been registered in over 10 years. Would be cool and it’s so ugly.

Edit: it’s windshield got taken out by the hailstorm here in 2020 most likely. Softball sized hail. And the old Texas state inspection stickers are a quick way to verify something hasn’t been on the road.

 

6.5 diesel, shit wont start and if it does you wont move

 

Cream puffs and eclairs

 

This was apparently one of the better years to own a 6.5. Mechanical injection pump and such.

Had a friend with one in college. At least it got more than 7-9mpg like the 454 GMT400s I’ve driven. Still a million other issues with that 6.5 I’m sure.

 

I'd love this with a 6BT in it

 

@eon_blue

 

Lot lizard included?

 

It's kinda crazy, until the 6bt was put into RAMs there really weren't any consumer diesels worth owning
