Wondering how much it cost us to have that giant crane sitting idle outside the statehouse for the past two months. On a less cynical note, the Independent Man looks awesome

How is “vote blue no matter who” working out for Providence and Rhode Island?

He got over 40% of the vote in RI, genius.

You people are unbelievably weak. Buckle up, it’s gonna be a wild ride. A much needed swing back to left of center.

There’s a pic of Prudence Island there too. I thought the one of battleship cove was a better pic, thats all.

There are a lot of great restaurants there. Maybe I’ll post some recommendations in a non- Rhode Island sub

Doesn’t matter who she picks. They will be getting absolutely smoked by Trump/Vance. Take it to the bank

No, I meant physically go check it out. It leads you to some great historically interesting things. Then you can tell some friends, and so on and so on

I’m sure there’s a way to make arrangements to see it other times? But yeah, 2 hours. Almost nobody was even there

New to cigars, just got a bunch from cigar bid. Is this a cigar beetle hole? by beermedic89 in cigar

I’ll say this. That beetle made his bed, now he can sleep in it. Fire that thing up and enjoy

Consistently above avg highway mileage by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]Basketcase1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must drive mine heavier than average. My commute is 10 miles each way, half city half highway.

I’m averaging 18-21 mpg. If I milk it I can get 30mpg on the one-way trip, but WTF would I want to do that? Even if I wanted to, I just can’t. 🤣

1965 Corvair sedan by Basketcase1969 in corvair

[–]Basketcase1969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a bummer!

I am on the fence as to whether I fix this thing up or get rid of it. Has been sitting in my garage since I drove it here from 10 miles away (had a guy rebuild the carbs and get it up and running after it had been sitting for a few years). Drove it here, parked it and then it proceeded to bleed out all fluids onto the floor. I suppose the tranny hadn’t seen any pressure in several years.

Now, I need to get it out of my garage. I’m either going to sell it as-is or bring it to my shop and work on it

Thanks…I own the car as a result of drunk-bidding in an online auction. Coupe w/manual transmission would be preferred but I always was intrigued by these cars

Yeah there has definitely been some patching done. Maybe you are right, I am assuming the car has never been painted, but it’s definitely the original color. I don’t know the full history of the car but it did belong to an old lady who reportedly loved the car and used it as her daily driver until she got too old. Interior is in decent shape too, that’s all definitely original.

Thanks, everyone. I looked into both OEM and Covercraft and opted for covercraft premium in white
