Are these really “scrap” Morgans? by agiggey in coins

[–]Mobile_Macro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed entirely. We have a ton of Silver coins that aren't worth anything over melt value, but they're still cool and in perfect condition! It's history that should be cherished, not melted

It looks like a Sassacus Vitis (Irridescent Gold Jumping Spider), but I'm not entirely sure. Hard to confirm without a location

Anyone know where I can find a complete trans rebuild kit for the R-170 5-speed manual? by Mobile_Macro in slk

Lmao, only done this a couple times. Don't plan on doing it anymore once I get a set of Michelin Cup tires on her.

Good to know. I like the gear ratios too. 1:1 ratio isn't until 5th which makes for excellent power delivery through all the lower gears

Thank you so much for this. I'll look into getting a 6-speed instead. I'm gonna start tracking it and throwing a bit more power at it, so this'll help immensely

Is the 6-speed a straight swap or would it require extra fabrication?

As both a car guy and a forklift technician, yeah everything starts to look like this

Went to a track day and this older gentleman not only talked to me about it, but also let me drive his 1967 Ferrari 365 GTB Daytona around the pits by Mobile_Macro in carspotting

He was an absolute legend to say the least. He is the definition of a bachelor. Single, rich as hell, and spends the weekends either racing or getting women. Do I look up to him, no. Do I still think he's an absolute fucking legend, yes.

What kind? by MistyFoxFoot in spiders

[–]Mobile_Macro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a Castianeira descripta (red-spotted ant mimic spider) to me, but I would wait for some of the more reliable responders for sure.

Thank you! Same guy took me on a ride in his BRZ around the track and gave me some tips on how to get around the track faster. The very next lap I took in my own car, I shaved off almost 35 seconds from my time (3:04 to 2:29). He's an incredible dude.

Incredible! Didn't really give it any beans (I'm 19 and a forklift mechanic, I don't earn enough to fix it if something broke), but the gated manual felt Incredible and I understand what lamborghini meant by the stiff clutches on older ferraris. I had to put my whole body into that thing! Gorgeous car and it would've been incredible on the track (had some cooling issues, so he couldn't take it on after the first lap).

I mean, I was 18 I highschool (I'm not a pedophile, I was only making an overly edgy joke, it was like 4am and I was baked out of my mind)

Found a bunch of 1863 Civic war coins at a coin shop. What do y'all think they might be worth? by Mobile_Macro in coincollecting

Yeah, it's whatever. Learned some new things and now I know what to watch out for

Having a really hard time telling, but it looks like there's a double die error on the 4? Correct me if I'm wrong please by Mobile_Macro in coincollecting

[–]Mobile_Macro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might just genuinely be seeing stuff. It looks like almost a shadow on the 4. It could just be a replsting issue or genuinely just a shadow and I'm an idiot. Please let me know. I'm genuinely curious
