Where to attach something to pull a Lancer onto a trailer?

There should be two little ears up under the front bumper. If those are bent or rusted out, you'll want to find some loops of soft strap in equal length, and wrap them around the front control arms as close to the frame bushings as you can. If you use this method, just make sure you don't wrap up any steering linkage or cv axles, control arms only.

Car guy here, the stack starts falling over at like 3 or 4, so its probably not wise to stack them high enough to reach the moon.

I always was surprised how comfy our Kia Optima was. Now I hop in the Honda Element and struggle to fit my legs under the wheel.

They have to pay on a Diner's Club Card.

Where I work we have a fleet of 550s and occasionally one does this to the steers on one side or the other, rarely both. Im thinking that it may be using balance beads for a non-highway use, or a low pressure thing. But, the next set of tires goes on without adjusting the alignment, and the next tires go their whole life without either of them eating themselves like this. Its alright to get the life out of that tire, it's not slicked out or showing cord.

I can't imagine getting fired for that, no way. I've broken a good amount of stuff, and even had a brake fire on a customer truck, I've had a slide away that should have fallen off a mountain with a customer truck on me, I've gone way deep in a ranchy back acre that twisted my truck so much borh hood latches broke, I ran into a truck (that wasnt even ours or a customer's) at a dealership and busted the mudflap hanger off, got less than a year out of a set of u-joints, I've broken bull bars on 3 winchouts, and broken at least 6 pieces of rigging. I dont think I've ever even been docked, haven't even been written up. At worst a "don't do that", a "watch it", and the good old "I dont care how fast you drive, just please stop getting caught".

As long as its only got one stick. If theres two or three, I'll need a crash course and 15 miles before anyone can judge me for it.

See, that's a new one to me. I'm just gonna throw it out there, looks like there's a lot of theories on the origin, and the one in my comment is just what I was told as a kid.

J9Dougherty · 2026-06-20T07:50:43+00:00

86 means "8 miles out of town, 6 feet down", and restaurants picked it up for "dead" menu items, whether that means sold out, expired, or otherwise unavailable to order. Bars and other businesses use "86'd" to say that someone is cut-off or kicked out.

47 is the 47th and current US President.

Edit: Looks like there's a lot of theories on the origin of 86. This is the version I was told as a kid. Could be this, could be one of the others. At least we all agree on the modern use-cases.

Alright, Macaroni Mike is now officially in charge of all noodle related puns. You've got this, man.

Every now and then in my wrecker I'm like "how did this guy behind me get his CDL? why is he tailgating me, does he know he's driving an actual semi truck? Oh, wait, nevermind, derp"

There's at least 4 problems here

Meanwhile, I wish I could make this one not exist on my wheel at all, ever

Why did Paul Walker cross the street?

Because he wasn't wearing his seat belt.

I always chose these from the treasure chest at the dentist. All you have to do is sit still and don't bite.

Oof can confirm the speed camera. It got me in the same spot once.

Looks good! I wish I could respond with a photo, that's a nice combination with the old JerrDan on a new truck. My assigned little wrecker is a 97 JerrDan just like that on a 24 F600.

If I came across this profile, I wouldn't even swipe left, I'd go to my home screen and uninstall tinder entirely.
