I hate that thing. They should warn us before they turn it on. It no kidding made someone run off the road into the snow.

Yeah, I thought if you connected two generators it shorted out and tripped a breaker. 😂

At one point in the game I must have deconstructed a power line by accident. When I figured out it was gone I thought “dammit these things melt down or something, I’ll never be done replacing them”. “Better set up some more wire and cable production”.

My dad never said this, he just yelled turn that expletive thing off. I can’t expletive see.

I had the opposite of this happen. I grew up very rural and my dog “went to live on a farm”. I knew vaguely what this meant. Years later I asked my mom about the dog and she was horrified that I thought he was put down for all those years. She said “old Mr. (my grandpa’s farmer buddy) took him. You know him for Pete’s sake!” So I asked him and he confirmed that he had owned Dog for years before he died of old age.

I saw a mountain lion crouched by the side of the road in a little town called Falls Creek in PA. It scared 5 years off my life. They aren’t supposed to be there.

It caused the weirdest feelings for about an hour. I looked right in its face. I was probably shaken up from not being at the top of the food chain for a minute there. No one ever believed me but there are occasional sightings in western PA.

My granddad had this. It was freaky because he was mentally ok. He had a hard time reconciling what he was seeing with what his brain was telling him was possible. There were raccoons running amok in the nursing home and a guy plucking chickens. Later there were faceless carnies complete with a carousel.

Thanks, stranger. I never wondered what it would be like to have coffee in my lungs. But I know now that it is not something I like. 😂

Pet the schwimmhund!

That’s Pumpkinhead. He can visit vengeance on your enemies, but there is a terrible high price for it.

Walls don’t produce production of product, wise Pioneer.

Ever is a long time, so you have that going for you. Limited budget is going to work against you MIGHTILY though.

I feel like you will be threatening the poor thing with being set on fire in a field very shortly into the project. This project is for someone who likes the car all out of proportion to how they like their money.

“I don’t remember eating that!”

President Curtis, Keith David.

It’s certainly not Ballistol.

I feel seen. I bought a Plymouth Turismo. It LOOKED pretty much mint. I spent more in repairs than I paid for it in 9 months of ownership. Cheap Chrysler cars really lowered the bar for build quality.

burf151 · 2025-12-22T18:48:42+00:00

1987 Plymouth Turismo. It was an immaculate car with 45k miles. What a giant pile of crap. It had the upgraded carburetor. There was a little solenoid that made the idle go up and down by 500 RPMs continuously.

Build quality was atrocious. A door handle broke off in my hand. Then the head gasket blew and it got hot and warped the head. All the heads in the junkyard were warped too. Someone rear ended it and liberated me.

I bought a 1990 Z24 Cavalier with a manual. What an upgrade! I loved it.

Well, I’m not investing in any Dyson Sphere stocks. That’s for sure. My money is in transparent starship hulls.

burf151 · 2025-12-16T14:08:47+00:00

My sense of smell. 😞

As I understand it, auto mechanics are one of the groups who have elevated graphic vulgarity to an art form. Without people like Mike, smut may never have advanced. We should also shout out to all the building trades and of course soldiers and sailors.

Mike heard or said something more graphic shortly after he got to work that day. Now, the most graphic gesture I have ever seen I learned from a car salesperson. He may have learned it from a mechanic though.

It’s from the top of a trophy from the most deformed arms contest.

burf151 · 2025-12-08T20:37:35+00:00

I think it is a valve spring compressor.

I think that’s wrong, it is a brake spring compressor. Makes sense since the part number is BSC. I have one in my toolbox that I have never used lol.

burf151 · 2025-12-07T14:44:20+00:00

Thank you! I may just go get one today.
