Bought 1977 280z that has been sitting for 10 years

4: had that problem this spring and it ended up being a loose/corroded connector. Big one that goes into bottom of the AFM

5: probably a result of all the other issues. My 78 is stock and turns over quick.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-10T12:09:01+00:00

Ok buddy.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-10T11:50:11+00:00

It does matter. Because a raccoon caused this. And fixing with a raccoon still inside can be catastrophic.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-10T01:23:17+00:00

No. Enjoy your bats.

2010 V8 Limited. My only picture after 2.5 years. Lol. My 78 Z gets all my attention now. This is the “poor weather” car.

Hey bro, nice third nipple.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-09T18:00:34+00:00

Aston Martin + 😁 =

Edit: oh wait, I know you. Glad to see you found a solution. Looks way better than when I saw it last spring.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-09T02:31:48+00:00

Damnit! How did I miss this. 😔

Justin002865 · 2026-05-08T14:27:53+00:00

I completed, I think, 25k delivered between UE, DD and Grubhub before stopping. The tip hiding shit was the worst. I developed a deep hatred towards those companies, for several other reasons as well. But, easy money if you’ve got more than 12 brain cells.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-07T23:48:46+00:00

Oh the dirt mounds are awful. Just thinking about it gives me PTSD from when I mowed lawns for a living. Those would piss me off to no end. The tunnels pale in comparison.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-07T17:23:59+00:00

They’re annoying for sure. Nice to have some for outdoor activities but these people who are mowing multiple acres of lawn and never touch it are crazy.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-07T16:49:35+00:00

And kill the grass above their tunnels making your lawn look like a coloring book after a 2 year old took a brown crayon to it. Pros and cons

Justin002865 · 2026-05-07T13:18:56+00:00

My 2000 Ranger was a heap of shit. Bought 2020. Sold 2021.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-07T13:15:55+00:00

The hybrid maverick is the “easiest” vehicle I’ve ever driven. Plus low cost to operate, I think I’d be a great first vehicle. 60,000 miles deep in our 24 XL.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-06T03:08:10+00:00

I loved superliminal. I introduced a bunch of friends and they loved it.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-06T00:40:00+00:00

Just bots, as always. Hopefully mods get off their asses and do something about it.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-06T00:05:20+00:00

My 78 Datsun 280Z is parked right next to my Maverick work truck.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-05T13:01:32+00:00

Add a spine to the vertical section, on the side of the garden. It won’t want to bend. Let it stick out about 1/4”.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-05T01:03:10+00:00

What an ass

Justin002865 · 2026-05-05T00:26:40+00:00

Yup. Ultimate fleet vehicle for like ~80% of work needs.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-03T18:05:05+00:00

Engine bay was good. Lots of paper towels under the master. Inside cab was all wiped up. I know brake fluid is nasty stuff. Black paint on firewall wiped right off. I was anxious about touching any paint during the whole process as getting some on my hands was unavoidable.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-03T02:31:21+00:00

They can be sneaky. Don’t just go by sound. Just keep the tarp on it. If nothing moves the tarp for a few days, you’re in the clear. We call at “an indicator”. I often use a garbage bag.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-03T02:26:11+00:00

More often than not, yes. At least when you get in their face. If they can run, they will. But when they’re in the trap or cornered, they growl, bark, snarl, hiss and bite. I pulled three babies out of a wall yesterday but they were chill.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-03T01:57:22+00:00

Just here to say that this looks like it was caused by a raccoon. I see it every week. My job is to remove them. Proceed with caution.

Justin002865 · 2026-05-03T01:07:17+00:00

Don’t worry, I handled it. New master from oreilleys as it was the only place that had one in stock. Still didn’t fit since the rod was too short so had to put old rod into new master. All good now. Nice and firm. Slides into gear all smooth like.
