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

A couple of newer York commercial heat pumps on the left (Yeah, I filmed these too). The original York Stellar Series units seen in the previous photos are 4-ton and 5-ton residential/light commercial units that look just like what you might find at many homes across the country...



More newer, but long-dormant, York commercial heat pumps. The condenser fins are a bit rough (vandals; more likely than vandals though would be careless landscape/maintenance crews), but the units are otherwise in good shape and probably have many more years left in them...



I believe these are the rear entrances to those buildings in the alcove where that blue Grand Marquis was parked...



On the immediately left, we see another one of the original Yorks and a newer unit of an unknown brand. Up ahead, we see two huge York commercial split-system units and yet another original Stellar Series unit...



Closer to the two York commercial units and the original Stellar Series...

York tends to stick to a specific style for years. The legendary York Champion "tabletop" units were in production, virtually unchanged, from about 1951 until the early 1980s! That was when Borg-Warner owned York, by the way...

The original units here are from about 1987, so they are about thirty years old now. The bar where I work has a 2005 York Stellar Series 5-ton heat pump that looks virtually identical to the one you see here, albeit nowhere near as rusty...

Even the newer commercial units look remarkably similar to the older Stellar Series units. This is because they are the same tan color and have the same boxy cabinet design...



A couple more newer York commercial units with condenser damage...

 

Penn's Purchase is a labyrinth of one-way streets and with a single entrance/exit. As such, you have to drive all the way around to get back off the property. I believe the people in that black Mercedes had just finished shopping and were leaving...




Driving across the street to the small sliver of Penn's Purchase that shares a parking lot with Peddler's Village (same black Benz on my right)...

 

This building used to be a Bose outlet...

 

Spotted this white 2nd Gen RC while waiting at a red light at the Doylestown/Warrington border on the drive home...

Almost a year after the install, I am thoroughly satisfied with my ToyWerx grille. There is one thing I figured I'd tell you though...

A few weeks after you installed my new grille, I discovered that my A/C was not blowing cold on the passenger side and it ended up needing a recharge. My dad's mechanic discovered that the hood release was rubbing against the grille mesh and making it really hard to get the hood open (At the time, I had not opened the hood since you relocated my horn and installed the grille). My dad's mechanic bend the hood release ever so slightly so this wouldn't happen anymore...




There is a scuff or something on the top left corner of the grille that you can't really see in this picture (I think it's probably just residue of some sort and I can buff it out), but other than that it is still lookin' good!

I was involved in a very minor accident where I rear-ended a 2014 Mustang GT at a low speed, back in August 2015. Damage to truck amounted to $1,500. The bumper was pushed in on the left side, the grille was cracked, the left headlight was damaged, and the radiator support was bent. The truck had no engine/mechanical damage, the damaged headlight still worked, and the truck was still safe to drive. The headlight, grille, and bumper were all that had to be replaced.

This is the headlight assembly that was installed in September 2015 when the truck was repaired...




My truck is a 2010 model, manufactured in September 2009. The right headlight assembly is original to the truck...

See the difference?!?!

TRUE STORY: One time in the summer of 2011, I unwittingly stumbled upon a bee's nest while filming a central air-conditioner at Peddler's Village (basically a glorified tourist trap in my area), and I ended up running for it. I did not get stung, and my entire encounter with the swarm of bees made it into the final cut of the video, which was on YouTube for quite a while...

 

Texas is an economic powerhouse...

 

@Jamesboy2233

Do you know what Gander Mountain is?

 

Gotta go to downtowns, or parts of town that were commercial centers but aren’t anymore

 

Are those the desolate parts of Texas?

 

Have you ever heard of Gander Mountain? They opened one near me and it went out of business within a year...

 

And a decent 3-bedroom home with central A/C is probably less than $100K!

 

It's a sporting goods place. They sell guns, kayaks, and all sorts of shit. At least they did...

 

I've heard that Laredo is a shithole...

 

I'd want to live in San Antonio...

 

HOAs are more prevalent in the suburbs, but I agree with you wholeheartedly...

My parents' last two houses have been in HOA neighborhoods...

 

The Pinto was technically my 1st car.....the first one I bought and owned myself, anyway.

Not the actual car. It was 14 years old by the time I bought it. But it was this same model.



Before the Pinto I drove various family cars. The one I learned to drive on was a '73 Audi Super 90. Other honorable mentions include a '77 Ford LTD and a '70 VW Beetle.

But I've owned a shit ton of cars over the years!

 

Try to restore it

 

Mine was blue with the fake wood grain and a little different front end since it was a Mercury. Flip down the back seat and you had a little shaggin wagon
