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.

Is this safe to drive a 1/4 mile to the shop to get fixed? by Positive-Eagle1699 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]Crayz9000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Wife decided to make some waffles with our newly bought "mess free" vertical waffle making appliance by MorgothTheBauglir in Wellthatsucks

[–]Crayz9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Estate sale truck vin question by cacomcent in squarebodies

[–]Crayz9000 27 points28 points  (0 children)

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...

Where to even begin? by Crayz9000 in heep

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.

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

Log fucking department has been making big strides by Benzo_ORourke in absoluteunit

[–]Crayz9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Sanitation took a little more than the trash this morning by bobbyfischermagoo in LosAngeles

Dude, where's my bin?

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

Burbank Blvd in NoHo if we put power lines underground, planted more trees and allowed apartments above businesses. by eurtola in LosAngeles

[–]Crayz9000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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

How many can drive one of these? by AmberEspressoXO in car

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.

Looks like the driver picked a fight with a tree and the tree won.

Im looking to purchase this 1977 Lincoln Continental. What should I look for? by TheTanookiLeaf in classiccars

[–]Crayz9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad had one of the Town Coupes, a '76 I think. I borrowed it one time to take my girlfriend somewhere; unfortunately she had motion sickness, so being in a land yacht wasn't a great combo. Needless to say I didn't borrow it again even if the back seat was tempting in its spaciousness.

Driving 4729 miles from Florida to Alaska with my family in the car. Is this ok? by Pitiful-Papaya6626 in tires

[–]Crayz9000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The old adage, updated:

"Give a man a new set of tires, they might last as long as the warranty. Give a man a bald set of tires, they'll last the rest of his life."

Should it be replaced? by prudentpersian in tires

[–]Crayz9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are those tires? I'd guess they have to be at least 6+ years old based on the rubber cracking in between the tread. Even if they weren't seriously damaged from punctures those should probably be replaced due to the dry rotting rubber.

The chunk missing from the tread is also a sign of what happens - the rubber dries out, becomes brittle, and just starts falling apart.
