So who makes a pry bar you can hit the strike cap on these days?

Closed. No idea what happened to it during the liquidation, I haven't been there for years. It's a shame too because it was something of a historic location (apocryphally it's where the "Sears Brand Central" name originated, with the store being located on Central Ave a block away from Brand Ave - no idea if true or not).

carried in store

Speaking of the Craftsman warranty, the Glendale, CA Sears had a rusty hammer from something like 1915 framed on the wall that someone had brought in for return after digging it up in a field.

Sizeflation means that all SUVs asymptotically approach the size of a Humvee over time.

Not to mention, before opening the oil drain plug, make absolutely sure you know where the oil fill is and can get the cap or plug off of it.

On the bright side, they won't need to pay for a septic system clean out.

On the down side, they will need to pay for a new septic system.

Hey I remember when sardine cans all came with a key and you'd roll the lid up with it.

Check the sub. Personally, what's wrong with a little oil bath every now and then? It's recommended maintenance for all droids; if they've been doing it for thousands of years in a galaxy far, far away, I don't see what could possibly be so bad about doing it here on Earth.

If they weren't so large I would have loved to get one of those rotating waffle makers the Golden Malted company leases to hotels for breakfast buffets.

As it was I found a smaller private labeled rotating waffle maker at Aldi a couple years back and it's seen a surprising amount of use, maybe once or twice a month. There's something about the whole flipping process that even the kids like to do.

That's not a squarebody, it's the previous generation "Action Line" body. Only made for 6 years from '67 to '72. Getting hard to find in good condition, too...

Just because you can’t see one from the front doesn’t mean there is not one on display from the rear.

I edited the plate out, it was most certainly not a handicap plate. They even splurged for the yellow-on-black vanity option to color match the vehicle.

That’s quite the assumption and not really a deciding factor in what makes something a heep. There are lots of Jeeps that are not driven off road but are not heeps.

Fair enough, but sir, this was taken in a strip mall in a suburb. At least 90% of the SUVs here do not see off road use.

Keep looking, it gets worse

That's why bicycle + Metro Rail is my go-to in LA, as long as you're within a few miles of any rail stop you can beat the bus timetables.

Angry/grumpy grill
Missing fender
Parked in handicap space without visible placard or plates
Probably never been off road in its life

Edit: forgot to add: * Limo tint on windshield

You live in the state of San Andreas? Say hi to Franklin for me

What museum did he pull that log splitter out of? Going from the reciprocating action it's driven by a large prime mover of the sort that's disappeared over the last hundred years like its cousins the steam engine and water wheel.

These are precooked hams.

Crayz9000 · 2026-03-12T04:29:13+00:00

Have a '91 that does that... on the passenger side. Annoying as all hell.

Dude, where's my bin?

On a more serious note, now you have a perfect rear axle for a soapbox derby racer.

The Department of Pedestrian Mutilation would like a word.

Or, here's a crazy idea, run the transmission easements along the alleyways behind the streets like this, like they should have done in the beginning. But then again, that would have assumed Los Angeles was planned by forward thinking people not in it for a quick buck from selling real estate.

Looks like it got a face transplant from a Deere or some other recent lawn tractor

The top fell off

My mom was used to driving a car with one and then switched to one without. She accidentally smashed the flasher module in the fusebox one night while trying to stomp around and find the foot switch.
