Here's an old joke that I first heard back in the early 80's from a friend that liked the Triumph TR6.
Why do the British drink warm beer? The refrigerators are built by Lucas.

that wasn't a 'Wild' wolf. If anyone has seen the way coyotes react when caught in a trap, you'll know this 'wolf' has been around humans before.
But she has given sorta approval and permission to build a .22 Trainer. (As long as it is lighter than my Precision Rifles, something I am in agreement with). Old age and all the shit they are finding about my left eye and the causes of the problem are really pissing me off….Oh to be 25 again.
Why do I need her permission, it’s not the money this time, she is really concerned about my health.
But she won’t let me shoot any matches this spring and I already planned to go to three.

That sounds like my 1966 International Scout with the slant 4. I had an incident where the magic smoke was released from the electrical system and we rebuilt the wiring harness. The shop manuals listed all of these wires by individual colors, but when we tore into it EVERYTHING was Orange. Checked out another one in town and all of it‘s wiring was Red. And a third was all Green
.I wish that I still had it, but………
Not one of them steampunk ones but I’ve had a few. Still trying to find a way to play this record
The person holding the camera is the owner of those two little brats and is the one actually responsible
Now scientists say BREATHING may be bad for the environment
Gases in air exhaled from human lungs is fueling global warming, report scientists at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Edinburgh.
Well, they are not wrong. The world can do with losing a billion or 2.Now scientists say BREATHING may be bad for the environment

Should we prepare a list of who would be the best billions to lose?
Stereotypes exist for a reason. I have done the LBC thing quite a bit.
Some of it is a bad wrap because of 60 years of "owners fixing" this or that. Some of it is just flat BAD bad. The rear suspension on a spitfire....good god that is horrid.
That's the problem, who decides who stays and who dies. It's not us as we don't have the power to make that happen. So, we are probably on the list of who goes.
First Gen Dodge pickups: 1,000,000 mile motor in a 100,000 mile chassis with a 18,000 mile electrical system.

Oh, I'm sure we are on somebody's list of people they want to see go away...
That is the way it worked.Back in the day, I was probably 11 or so, we had some ice followed by a little snow. A couple buddies and I grabbed our steel runner sleds and headed to a spot in town that had a long run down a sidewalk for about 300 yards. I led off and flew down the sidewalk, but when I got to the bottom my buddies were way back. I walked back up the hill and the guy behind me, either couldn't see due to snow flying up or just lost control a bit, can't remember which, but he ran head on into a telephone pole between the sidewalk and the curb. Bloody face, out-of-it, etc. We helped him home and dropped him off at the door, no use of us getting chewed on...lol. He told his mom he thought he broke his nose. She told him to go to bed and sleep it off, he was fine. When he got up in the morning he was black and blue, swollen and couldn't breathe through his nose. Nose and sinus surgery put him back in commission. "Just walk it off, you're fine..."
Back when I was about 6 I got the bright idea if I wore roller skates and had the dog on the leash she would pull me around. I had trouble explaining what happened to my left eyebrow.
I was in the emergency room a great deal, like most kids I loved Evel Knievel. A few jumps resulted in stitches.
I remember being in the hospital emergency room and them asking me, did your mother hit you.....no I fell off my bike.....did your mother smack you...no I fell off my bike. And this was in the 70's.
I was no stranger to hurting my self with some real wicked jumps.
And a 10,000 mile transmission (until it’s rebuilt properly}
From one of my visits to Switzerland years ago:
Heaven is where the cooks are French, the lovers Italian, the Police British, the mechanics German, and it's all organized by the Swiss. Hell is where the cooks are British, the lovers Swiss, the Police German, the mechanics French, and it's all organized by the Italians.
Hmm, my "rag" worked good. But, overfilled a quart, no hard pulls and rebuild at 150K. Still daily driver.
Thank you,

Considering the cold rain we usually get, a foot of snow would be wonderful.
Nothing worse than looking out at grey skies, low clouds, rain and 34 degrees. Did I mention the humidity in North Louisiana. Makes Florida feel like a desert? Where it comes from, I have not a clue, but when the swimming pool we call an atmosphere, meets up with temperatures that on a sunny day would almost be shorts and tee shirt weather, it feels worse than -14F with snow on the ground.

That's an old IH joke.....just follow the green wire. In the Scout ll's every Mutha Fawking wire in it is green......Except for the charge wire from the alternator.....it's blue.
Former Benz tech & probably the biggest Mercedes homer here. Unfortunately, yes I concur. There were some pretty significant common problems that plagued all of them. And if you had to pay someone to basic work but couldn’t justify the added expense of someone who knew really knew their way around the cars it could spiral out of control pretty quickly
But man, when you had all of the deferred maintenance taken care of they are amazing
Sadly… not even in a straight line.
Of course, disable the computers in the Camaro and it’s game over.
But an Odyssey Minivan probably beats that fastback in every stat except “cool.” Sad but true!

10 Classic American Muscle Cars Slower Than a Minivan
Very few of those original "muscle cars" are what you'd consider fast
That said… screw minivans. Give me a classic analog with design and style and raw power over a committee-derived jellybean with a computer for an engine any day.
Oh and which one will still be on the road in 50 years… or 100. Not the one with computers and made of plastic!
Sirhr
Only when it comes to performance data.
When a real COPO Yenko parks next to a computerized jellybean 2022 SC LT… no one will be looking at the one that runs off an operating system and has “magnetic traction control” whatever the hell that is.
Just ‘sayin!
The one car I wish I never sold was my fast back Torino. If I could undo any of them that would be it.
And I owned BUNCHES of cars, firebirds, mustangs, tons of little sports cars. That Torino I should have kept. It was a cobra as well.
Funny you say that.
Years ago Grass Roots Motorsports did an article that did just that. Only IIRC against an XKE.
The Jag lost every event but one. The article came out in the late 90's IIRC. I was still racing then.
Well a quick internet search and fook me.
#TBT: Can a minivan be as exciting to drive as a classic sports car?
Compared against the supercars of years past, even the most mundane vehicles of today–like the much-maligned minivan–offer surprising performance.

One last on the old vs. new.
I think this video does a very good job at going over it. It is motorcycle related, but you can extend it into cars as well, at least a little bit.
