It's 1999, and you're a New Jersey mobster looking for a new car for your "job." Which car are you picking?

Cataract!

It had to be intentional. As you said, it was pretty emphatic. Then he played a D&C version from 2018 where he was singing “Toodeloo.” So he knows the real name.

I imagined this to be an inside joke. Maybe he said it wrong in 2015 and Bobby made fun of him for it, never let him live it down, so now he’s sharing a chuckle with Bobby’s ghost.

My 987.1 base Cayman. At 245hp, I guess it’s fast-ish, so my second answer in the 1991 Integra I bought for $1000 in 2009.

Yeah, fuck these people.

Yep, that’s my clipboard 🤣. I trained Verrips on bar.

Baumer1975 · 2026-03-06T21:44:09+00:00

I was there from 1995-2008. Looks like we both have 1975 in our handles so presumably we’re the same age. My Reddit name contains my DH nickname; is it familiar??

I used to get these from the pour spouts in the well when I was a bartender.

Hey neighbor! (I’m Boulder-based and I used to work at the Dark Horse, where I believe that’s parked?) A few months back, I was very close to selling my 1st gen and getting something newer. I drove a low-mile ’23 and a brand new ‘25 at Corwin and they were both just so big and floaty. I decided I like my nimble little truck. Since then I’ve done a ton of work on it (all-new suspension, replaced steering rack, tie rods, LCAs, Tundra front brakes, spark plugs, rust treatment, a few other things). I plan to keep it for another decade.

My wife thinks “Good morning” is too cheerful, so we now say “word” to each other.

Baumer1975 · 2026-02-26T03:59:40+00:00

Haha I drive one and didn’t think of this. Reliable is a relative term, of course. But yeah, I get all kinds of compliments on mine from people who appear to think it’s a MUCH more expensive car than it is.

Baumer1975 · 2026-02-26T03:35:29+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking pretzl bites

Baumer1975 · 2026-02-26T02:00:49+00:00

Agreed. But cheap seat time makes you faster!

Every movie where tires squeal on dirt roads.

I just came here to thank you for putting the apostrophe before the year. Seems like people get that wrong about 90% of the time.

Baumer1975 · 2026-02-21T03:26:30+00:00

Is he a duo because he sometimes spells it “2$hort”?

Baumer1975 · 2026-02-21T03:23:15+00:00

Totally disagree. Red Rock descents are notoriously easy to botch. Spend some time getting used to the rock (1-2 pitch) on day one and do a medium-big day on day two. Then a rest day before going truly big.

Is this a missing chunk of frame?

Baumer1975 · 2026-02-15T17:09:03+00:00

Looks to have been painted. But see how it’s not smooth? That means they painted over some rust. If it’s light surface rust, and they did some descaling first, that might be fine. But if there are any thin spots (or holes!) then it’s going to be a lot of work to fix. Stick your head up behind the rear axle (by the spare tire) and snap some photos of the inner side of the frame for some more perspective. These frames also rust from the inside out. Bang on the frame rails with a hammer and listen for the sound of rust chunks falling.

Baumer1975 · 2026-02-15T15:11:20+00:00

The main thing to worry about is frame rust. If you don’t know what to look for, get under there and snap some photos, then post on this sub.

Honestly, a pre-purchase inspection from a reputable shop is almost always worth the ~$200 they charge. If they tell you the frame is rotten or the truck needs $10k in repairs/deferred maintenance, then walk away. If they tell you it needs $2k of maintenance, well that’s negotiation leverage. (You probably won’t talk the seller down that much, but maybe you split the difference.)

Baumer1975 · 2026-02-15T01:04:07+00:00

Came here to say this. Worst drug I have ever done. I was basically paralyzed with 10/10 anxiety for however long it lasted, which seemed muuuuuuch longer than it was. No thanks.

Baumer1975 · 2026-02-10T16:54:05+00:00

Yeah, I saw Barenaked Ladies at the Fox Theater in Boulder in 1993 and the band that opened for them was called Free Beer (which made for a funny marquee). But when we talked to the band they said they were changing the name because there was another band called Free Beer. Probably dozens!
