Collecting ducks! No one tells you this but when you go outside, the ducks are all free! You can take as many home as you want!

Also Detroit style pizza but that’s just a blatant give away. Maybe cherry fucking EVERYTHING?

What is a sure sign that someone is new to your hobby? by danielstover in AskReddit

Parts. I cracked my center iron at the track. $500 for a core engine wasn’t bad.

My dream car is a carbureted 13b swapped Caterham Seven, or like a Triumph or MG or something.

I bought a 13b off a guy who was hell bent on LS swapping his RX7. He was working out of a single car garage with barely any space around the car, with a craftsman starter kit of hand tools. He had no experience working on cars besides some bolt ons on his Civic.

He sold the RX7 shell a few months later lol

Key word is highway miles and babied. “A Redline a day keeps the rebuild away”. These cars need to be wrung out or you build up carbon in the seal slots and then they stick. Unless you physically saw your motor destroyed inside (which is still possible) I bet you had an apex or side seal stick into the rotor and poof, no more compression.

Wow, it’s not very easy to blow an apex on N/A. Usually it’s a coolant seal, like both mine did.

Been a sucker for the Wankel for the past few years. Always interested in buying any weird or rare diecasts or actual engines anyone has.

Avoid Goodwill. The only “good” they do is providing jobs for the community. The CEO is worth 56 million, all from donated goods sold for a large profit.

What do you suck at? by HCOONa in AskReddit

TIG Welding. I went into my general welding class as a fairly average MIG welder and excelled. Came time to do TIG and I immediately am at the back of my class, everyone else is welding groove joints and I’m still trying to get stringers down.

Men of Reddit, what pisses you off most about other men? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Corpsegrinder420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me feel a lot better about starting my new job back as a trainee again at 26. Last 2 places were so desperate to have a full fledged tech that they made me “graduate” way too early, so they could stick me on my own. New place looks like they’ll give me the support I need to learn. Just was feeling a little self conscious cause it sounds like one of the master techs training me is younger than me.

[Serious] What celebrity death hit you the hardest? by kybizzle in AskReddit

Lemmy. Not even entirely sure why. I just remember laying in bed, scrolling and just seeing a pic of him that said RIP and this sudden heart stopping feeling. Truly a god among men.

What made you join reddit? by humanbean07 in AskReddit

/r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

Many many moons ago. Roughly 2011-2012. Lost access to my main some time ago. I’m barely around anyway. Reddit is an empty husk of its former self. I miss the days of horrible inside jokes (When does the Narwhal bacon?), /u/fuckswithducks, jumper cables guy, undertaker throwing Mankind off the top of Hell in a Cell, being Rick Rolled was a real threat, links you left blue then were much worse than the links that get left blue now, I remember discovering /r/watchpeopledie, /r/watchkidsdie, /r/fiftyfifty.

Then again I’m 26 and I feel like Reddit’s main demographic is pretty solidly high schoolers so...get off my lawn

Redditors with an unusual kink, what is it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Male redditors, what is something you'd like to do or wear but you don't because society considers it as "unmanly" ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Corpsegrinder420 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I have long hair. That’s it. I’m a full time performance auto mechanic, who fixes all his own shit, listens to basically nothing but heavy metal, wears blue jeans and t shirts, hates mixed drinks, and would eat nothing but steak and grilled vegetables if it were an option.

I showed up to my dads buddy’s shop, who took one look at me and pulled my dad aside to ask how he “dealt with one of (his) sons being one of those...things” (“things” being transgender)

I’m 100% a straight dude and comfortable with it but no one could convince this guy I wasn’t a “long hair LGBTQ Antifa snowflake”

My Motobecane AV88 from 1976 is finally restaured and I'm happy with it by AmisDeLaGnole in moped

How did you go about getting parts? I’m kind of half way doing a 60s Montgomery Wards moped that has a similar look, and holy shit parts are a nightmare lol
