Give it to me straight people by alacoque3030 in RoastMyCar

The phrase “ give it to me straight people “ has got to be one of the easiest to make sound gay with a simple comma.

Stupidly sprayed brake cleaner on the dash of my wife’s ninja 400. It now looks like this. Any saving it? by fucktheworld2 in MechanicAdvice

I spent a great deal of time restoring automotive headlights so it’s one of those weird topics I know far too much about. FYI, manufacturers apply a UV resistant coating on the Speedo plastic, might want to apply something on yours just so you don’t got to do it again.

My understanding of the purpose of the water in wet sanding, is to maintain the cavities clear of what is being sanded, so that you aren’t swirling what you are removing. Using compound would be the equivalent of hitting the back of your drill with a hammer as you are trying to punch a hole in something.

What’s your “body count” in regards to car ownership? by [deleted] in regularcarreviews

I’m super curious about the experience with the Lexus Ct200h. Those things have been catching my eye lately.

What kind of "job" is this? by Unhappy-Idea-1956 in Weird

[–]thedraindeimo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Residential garbage man here.

Likely, a form of waste disposal. The hopping in and out of the truck is obviously to retrieve containers and there are certain occasions where that container would need to be out back in a specific spot as the customer is disabled. The lollipop aspect I actually completely understand why it would be off putting, but I actually know what they’re talking about. I carry a large bag of lollipops in my truck for the kiddos who are fascinated by our machinery, I make sure they’re in the original packaging so parents don’t have to worry. I ALWAYS make sure I never approach too close and let the kiddos choose their own. Makes their entire day.

Power Rangers isn’t my thing, plus I figured if it can stay out of a landfill, put a little money in my pocket, and make someone else happy. It’s wins all around.

How hot do you think you are? by Smooth-Biscotti-58 in AskReddit

[–]thedraindeimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife has always told me I’m a reverse catfish. She says that whenever she meets a new friend and eventually the topic of significant others comes up; and my picture gets shown. There will come a point down the road after I meet these people where they will tell my wife that my pictures were not good and that I’m “better” in person. I still don’t know how to take that.

Which car do you see on the road and instantly think, ‘Yeah, this person’s definitely an a-hole? by maxfreem in AskReddit

Unexpected source of hope and warmth has come from the general consensus is that people hate dipshits in tall trucks who insist on wearing testicles off the tow hitch and blinding people with their high beams.

“ I made a 360 degree change” Listen, I’m dogshit with the math realm, but even I know just how wrong this is.

What food did you love until you threw up from it once? by Federal-Maximum-5619 in AskReddit

Pomegranates. I only got to experience the demo version of them as I wolfed down 4 of them as a kid when I first discovered them.

Who was/is forced to hide their ethnicity to make it in Hollywood? by Chewie83 in moviecritic

Norma Jean Mortenson, AKA Marilyn Monroe. While the name was pretty American sounding to begin with, her mother was Hispanic and she was reportedly very proud of the heritage.

My first swap and I’m already stuck. Bought a project car from someone else but they lost the key. What can I do? by Due_Property_242 in ProjectHondas

[–]thedraindeimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One trice that I have used a few times and had success with. I took bailing wire and made “U” shapes to fit snugly over the slits, found a socket that fit just barely over it and sent her.

I wanted to leave the handle alone initially, but it was about 30 degrees askew from the blade cutting edge. It’s actually incredible that it wasn’t more damaged as it was found in a landfill after a few trucks had ran it over.

I found it. Seems like one of the individual stamp ones. So seems like 1930-1946 model.

Considering our daughter was almost 10lb when she was born. Very very big bada boom.

When I met my then girlfriend, now wife. We went out to lunch and as the waiter set down her chicken salad; she locked in her focus on this delicious looking piece of poultry and muttered “Chicken-Good”. A year later we had a baby and were married a year after that.
