I have heard that insurance is about double for a Tesla cos expensive

But fueling it with electricity instead of gas saves $1000s per year so it may be a wash

Because the insurance companies have big muscle and you know they'll use it. I can see all maintenance being done at company approved locations, with secret proprietary software through factory sealed ports.

John Deere is doing it...

You mean the same Deere and Co that paid an effective tax rate of -12% last year?

Does time hang heavy on your hands?

Do you have a few hundred square feet of garage or workshop space and £50,000 ($65,000) in loose change down the back of the settee?

You do? Then here's the project for you...

A word to the wise. You won't find a Haynes Manual for this model.

"John Deere is doing it..."

When I first read that the computer in your new multi-thousand dollar John Deere tractor still belongs to John Deere, I couldn't believe it.
I still can't.

Corporations are like people only more important and better represented:yelgreedy.

Too much? Nah:

Thirsty and in a hurry...

I want my car insurance to be like my HSA health insurance

Warren Buffett is not a fan of the idea. Musk is.

Elon's grandma...

So, ya wanted one of them 426 Hellephant crate motors from Mopar, did ya?

Attachment 67705

Yeah, no. The 1,000 hp, 950 lb-ft of torque monster sold out in 48 hrs.

At $29,995 per.

So that's how to get to that bolt. :smack:

Smokey made them sing...

Somebody is tuckered out, but they have a couple million for R&R.

I wonder what happened to the Corvair to warrant three cones of shame?

Attachment 67753

A couple months ago I watched a Jay Leno's Garage featuring a Yenko Corvair. It was pretty interesting.

That was the ultra-rare Corvair Vuvuzela Edition.

More than you ever wanted to know about tires, but then all the things you should know.

That Corvair is gonna be at unsafe speed.

Doesn't matter 'cause it's unsafe at any speed... but he's got a cage and helmet so he'll be ok.

Just ask Ralph Nader.

ROTFLMAO!

Ken Block is amazing...

What's a little oil splatter on your belts among friends?

The top 10 sales at Mecum Indy this past weekend...

Getting rid of used oil shouldn't be a problem, if you dig it...

Attachment 67858

Send it back where it came from. :facepalm:

That's how we did it back when my car days were riding in the back and handing tools to my Dad.

Makes your well water nice and shiny.

The dirt does kind of absorb it, but it really stains the dirt. My friend's dad did that in a sandy area next to her house where we would play in the sand and make castles and stuff. We learned to stay away from that area because the sand there was pretty gross.

Well, oil sure keeps driveway dust down, but don't use gear oil because it will stink bad for months.

They take this BMW S1000RR up to 14,200 rpm in this cut away engine... cooler than it sounds.

That is outrageous! I wanted to get my super goggles on to protect my eyes when it blew.

Youtube offered this next, so I watched it.

Who says farmers don't do LSD, how else would anybody dream up that tractor? :haha:

That abomination in the sight of God and Man (top pic, as if you needed to ask) appears to be modelled on a Bentley Continental.

Have the Russians no shame?

There's a video of that Russian Bently and at one point the treads come off on a tight turn. The tread on the right side rear jumped into the body and jammed between the body and drive wheel. It appeared everyone was quite concerned over that.

I saw this El Camino Surfer at the World's Fair in NY then it vanished...

In the post war boom Ford was trying to figure out which way the wind blows...

I'll bet Ford didn't figure people needed off-road 4x4s with fancy fenders or 1,000 horsepower. :headshake

Love you long time...

Too late.

Frightening.

I transported two 4x8 sheets of OSB yesterday on top of my Golf. I was really worried I might lose the load - - I asked Twil to follow me home from the store, just in *that* case.. Slow roads (25 mph) the whole way. Home safely!

Why didn't you use the truck, did hauling that stone kill it?

Michelin say their long promised airless tire will be on the market by 2024.
Last I heard about this is it takes a special rim designed for it.
Probably show up on Mercedes, BMW, or Teslas first.

I was considering a Ford Focus until I discovered it had no spare tire. If these last on the market for a few years, I might consider a car without a spare.

There are uite a few on the market without spares, getting by with tire pressure monitors and an AAA card. The Corvettes use run flats but the ride is terrible with them on any surface except a pool table.

The truck is currently full of demolition waste, the tub, much of the rotted floor, tile, a gas grill etc. It's not yet full enough to justify a trip to the dump, but much too full to be useful for hauling new material, especially the sheet goods.

You need interchangeable beds, or a trailer to fill between dump runs. But that leads to a trailer for this, and a trailer for that, etc.

Multiple trailers I'm good with, it's the lack of parking that is the problem.

Probably wise to expend the time and energy piling up and then loading.
I learned that once loading, unloading and reloading.
I'd hate to do the tub three times.

I'm sure avoiding the re-handling is why he went ahead and put it into the truck to begin with...

But, damn, Ima need that truck!

My "little truck", a term of endearment I use for the VW Golf at times like this performed admirably.
