It leaks so much

Why does it leak so much?

 

Wut, we get charged like 4$ per tire or some shit

 

Well, that’s about how far that gets till I get more parts.

My National seals for the camshafts and the crankshaft are coming Friday, along with my new timing belt sprocket.

 

Yeah he said anything over 31” is “oversized” and 35” and up is a larger fee. Claims that he has to trailer the tires 1.5 hours away to Abilene.

Wonder if Meineke or discount will take them. Firestone and Goodyear are on my blacklist for... reasons.

 

Dang here is only $1.75 a tire... Think they keep it cheap so people don't stockpile old tires

 

I honestly don’t know what it is, I just swipe my card

 

Trains get expensive

 

They’re retiring the old BART trains. I really kinda want one. They’re free but you have to pay logistics to transport it, so around $10,000 door to door.

 

So much room for light bars tho

 

You can find cheaper trains on the street

 

Wow, now I really want one.

One of my lightbars came from BART police actually.

 

Those rail police don't mess around either.

Got a link to a bart car for sale? I'm curious.

 

Drive down 395 there is a lot of trains in the mojave desert that haven't moved in years.

 

It was like a press release, the reason they can't sell them (and have to scrap them or give them away for free) is the original funding came from the federal government. If they ever profit off the physical cars themselves, a portion of that has to go back to the gov't. So it's literally not worth it. It's easier and cheaper to scrap them. They're all aluminum, made by Rohr in the 60's which was an Aerospace company.

Some san fransiscan needs to build an entire train of tiny houses out of them. Be a heck of a project.

 

Everything goes to die in the Mojave. The Mojave Airplane Boneyard is there too.

 

600 sq/ft quaint studio train

$9,500 / month

good for commuting

i kno wat i got

 

Sucks to see, but at least they're updating and not scraping the whole transit plan.

 

There used to be a huge commuter rail system way back in the early 20th century here called the Key System. Actually ran under the Bay Bridge and all over SF/Oakland/Berkeley. With funding from General Motors (IIRC) they bought the system and dismantled it. Commuter trains = no car sales.
