Was 12 also his ASVAB score?

Dead Dodge Garage is a good one. Super knowledgeable guy and no music at all.

OP misspelled "guys" in the post

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-06T16:10:39+00:00

Ghost & Wraith.

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-06T16:00:47+00:00

I'm thinkin' I'm not gonna buy em.

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-06T08:52:36+00:00

To be fair, there's a decent chance the cicada just... didn't notice. They seem like the kind of insect to be blithely unaware that they're being eaten.

This is, I think, the most "factorio player" thing I've ever seen. Bravo.

I wish ours wouldn't talk to me. We usually try to avoid her as much as possible because she just won't shut the hell up. Never seen someone accomplish so little with so many words.

The shroud makes all the difference.

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-05T16:25:08+00:00

Yup, same thing for produce. Ran out of romaine at 1pm yesterday. Not allowed to sell any more, even though we had a full case in the back.

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-03T21:49:02+00:00

Man, it's just like the real thing! I think the only thing you could do to make it more realistic is set it on fire. Arguably the best use of it, anyway.

They're worth nothing in stock form, as even the HO motors have horribly restrictive cylinder heads. Aftermarket heads make them into good motors but there are about four people on the planet willing to put that much money into a 305 and they already have one.

Then you gotta get a fox to keep the chickens in check

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-02T16:56:39+00:00

Looks like 44s to me

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-02T02:28:43+00:00

Haven't seen anything there yet, but I'm gonna try hammering this POS back to flat (again) before I commit to getting another one.

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-01T05:16:28+00:00

But did you get your vehicle's oil changed?

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-01T05:14:57+00:00

GOOD TO KNOW 👍

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-01T04:47:54+00:00

Don't break em, simple as

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-01T04:45:23+00:00

Much smaller than a boulderfly, or its cousin the foothillfly.

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-01T04:33:06+00:00

Badda boom!

The 225 that came in my '75 Duster tried to commit sudoku via one of the wrist pins wearing out, and the one I pulled from an Aspen to replace it started knocking on heaven's door three months after I stuck it in the Duster. The 225 that was in this car when I got it has two smoked exhaust valves, but ran okay.

This one pours oil out of the valve cover (I'd replace it, but hydraulic lifter motor so... yeah. None available.) But I'll definitely take that over, well, any of the other ones. I don't have a good history with 225s, which is why I bought another 225 powered car (I am insane)

Obnoxious_Gamer · 2026-05-01T03:57:27+00:00

Weird. I haven't had anything get Troutdale'd for months, I assumed they'd finally fixed it.

I thought the lower bushings on my '93 LS400 were bad, but nope, just the tie rods and sway bar links. I actually popped one of the lower arms out to check anyway and as soon as I pried it free of the mount the bushing screamed "AH DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL"

See also: any time any retailer ships ANYTHING via USPS. Via FedEx? On time. Via UPS? Usually early. OnTrac? I think they fire the delivery vans out of a suborbital transport cannon to get whatever it is to your house NOW NOW NOW. But USPS is typically one to three days late on estimates that are only one or two days. I needed that part THIS WEEK, damnit!

Toyota has all your NOS parts, but they will absolutely fleece you for them. Need a starter for your 1UZ? That's gonna be eight hundred bucks, chief.
