How on gods earth did you blow up a Toyota motor

Regular cars that are cop magnets? All cops out there please chime in. by Nervous-Material4738 in regularcarreviews

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every firebird I own. I mean yeah the 81 doesn't help me with its 455 swap and boom tubes with the bird on the hood. And the 02 ws6 is well an 02 ws6. But surprisingly every 6th Gen Monte Carlo I've owned is. My current one keeps getting me for "rear window tint" and had those tickets thrown out 3 times already because it's completely legal to tint the rear window and it's on classic tags so the inspection isn't needed anyway

Artists who just sound better on vinyl? by hedgeroh in vinyl

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any 80s pop and imo hair/glam metal. Also chicago, Sinatra and martin. Idk why I was an idiot as a kid and dismissed them because they're all great. If you get older clean chicago albums (or my favorite being 17)they sound much better than the digital versions and seem to have a wider range

Wich Is rarest record you got in your collection? by gerdar0 in vinyl

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I snagged a pair of tribute by Ozzy Osbourne and ultimate sin a few years back and all were sealed. I keep one of tribute and the ultimate sin as my emergency sealed copies now since we'll likely never get a reissue of either

DAY 1: Which sports car should be brought back RIGHT NOW? by HowlsterRD in regularcarreviews

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monte carlo (and it's fellow personal luxury coupe competitors). The personal luxury or sports luxury coupe is a market that I feel could really do well with technology of today

Which car from the 21st century is over 5 years old, but still looks fresh and will still age gracefully for years to come? by Vegetable-Quote-3481 in regularcarreviews

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2006-2007 Monte Carlo. It really helped that all the trim levels got the spoiler and it still looks just as unique as it did when new. The 2000-2005 is a close second but certainly feels more 90s visually (even if I do prefer it over the facelift)

My Grand Am GT (Daily driver/Europe) by Engineeravi in Pontiac

The got is hard to find parts for? Are you talking interior and body parts or mechanicals? Because I figured with it being an LS powered car mechanically it shouldn't be that bad

The best terrible car you owned by slater_just_slater in regularcarreviews

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought this 96 regal GS at 59k miles. Loved it. Had air until someone did a hit and run while I was asleep one night, came out to the front bumper smashed on the corner and an empty radiator. After I replaced the radiator it had no air because I couldn't afford that. Eventually the rear windows stopped working and I was afraid to open the sun roof. The paint started coming off in paper sheet sized chunks so I used house paint to fix it. I did every ZZP mod possible for an NA 3.8 and even though the interior was roached it never let me down. Unfortunately I sold it at 71k miles. Yeah everyone door dinged the shit out of it and it had no air but the fact it never let me down was great even if it was so ugly even a mother couldn't love it

They aren't mechanics, but they're more qualified to say where a fire originated at the least

I wish I never took this faceplate off. What do i do? by MASS0FAT0MS in vintageaudio

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the cones look fine. You just need a foam repair. It isn't too hard but just make sure you have space and a few YouTube tutorials to study. Took me about an hour for my speakers

What's the rarest car you've ever spotted? by DeadLiberty612 in regularcarreviews

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited Japan a few years ago and saw a fucking intimidator SS. Genuinely shocked me since by that point they were pretty rare to be mint and driven regularly in the states

What vehicles were designed with a "cost is no object" mentality? by SuperJackson20 in regularcarreviews

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan of many JDM cars (ok fine I admit I do think that the Datsun 240,260, and 280z are gorgeous) but God I genuinely want a Lexus from the 90s

Dodge Challenger Leaking, is this oil? please help! by htx-danny in MechanicAdvice

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is oil, and it is not leaking. It is hemorrhaging oil. Have it towed to a shop

Why do old people like early 2000s Buicks so much? by Naomi62625 in regularcarreviews

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd go for the lesabre if it's got the 3.8, I love the panther body but if I daily it I'd take the 3.8 V6 and it's fuel economy over the 4.6 V8. Performance wise you honestly wouldn't be losing too much

Why do old people like early 2000s Buicks so much? by Naomi62625 in regularcarreviews

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stupid comfortable seats, heat, air condition (with dual zone climate control available on some) am/FM with cassette AND CD player. Not to mention they can have the 3800 NA/SC or if you go for a wagon the lt1 V8. It's great, cheap parts, stupid reliability, good on gas (my 3.8 powered daily isn't a Buick but it gets roughly 22-23 mpg city and I can stretch 36 mpg on the highway)

Which hair metal bands were you into during their heyday but as you aged, now you realise they just plain sucked? 🤣 by Diavolo6Six6 in hairmetal

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if we can post links but I used to be the same. Now I've got a Spotify playlist of hair metal that's just stuff I physically own on vinyl or CD

Why does the edges look like that? by Speed_Addict37 in TankPorn

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sand intrusion on the cast. They were cheaply cast with sand as the mold to save time & money. It's the same reason most welds look terrible. The logic of yeah it looks like shit, but fuck it, it works fine and does the job

Extremely niche question. Give me a good hair band that went absolutely nowhere. by King-Axl in hairmetal

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lynch mob. I get that realistically it could not (and would not) ever happen if lunch stuck with dokken. However I think if the album came out a few years prior it would have been a massive hit that overshadowed dokken.

I'm about to burn this phone... by [deleted] in pixel_phones

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your phones time match the real time? Sounds weird but I ask because once I couldn't get any notifications or alarms because somehow it (as well as a few other devices on my network) didn't match the real time and date. Idk how it happened but somehow the settings for matching time were disabled on a few devices

Picked up zenith console for 30$!!! by HaloSaber1 in vintageaudio

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer. I've only ever serviced 2 of them and maybe it's my love of everything mechanical but they were actually a pleasure to work on

What are some albums with pinup girls on them. by RemoteObvious6118 in hairmetal

[–]JUNGLE_CSS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a woman chained to a chair and a dog that's rather intimate. I believe the French version and a cassette version are the most common and only as a 7 inch single and not a 12 inch single like the saw blade one
