@werehatrack That would be my dream (the lift – but the car is nice too). Getting too old do want to do that much mechanical work. But the lift would be good because no more crawling under a car or using short jack stands. I knew someone that had a large utility garage and had a jack like that. But they had 3 sons (teenage-20’s at the time) so plenty of eager mechanics around.
Working on cars is fun, though. When I had a Porsche 911, I took a 1-day training class at a Porsche shop, for “routine” maintenance but that was tricky because of valve adjustment that you basically could not get to. Got to do it once myself and it felt like a victory. After that decided it was worth it to pay other people. Eventually sold the car when I left CA, which I had to do, but I’m sad about, because an older air-cooled 911 wasn’t worth that much at the time, and now I just checked. Ouch: A: The average price of a Porsche 911 SC Targa is $47,676. Q: When was the Porsche 911 SC Targa produced? A: The Porsche 911 SC Targa was sold for model years 1978 to 1983
I think so - can’t tell for sure if that’s a vent window or a black side mirror.
My buddy in high school had a 1968 Camaro (no vent window) with a tweaked 350 V8 installed. We had a lot of fun in that car (but probably lucky to have lived through it).
Non-political my ass - that post is clearly on the left!
@macromeh From it’s point of view, it’s to the right, assuming it’s facing us.
@macromeh @werehatrack Clearly grassroots. I don’t see it as leaning either left or right.
@werehatrack Since when are we expected to consider another’s point of view? That’s just crazy talk…
@macromeh @rockblossom @werehatrack
From ITS point of view, it’s exactly where it ought to be.
@macromeh
@ybmuG As seen in the rear-view mirror, post-election?
@rockblossom as an in my mind when I’m trying to push the political BS out of my brain
@ybmuG Send those thoughts to the Other Thread, post haste!
@rockblossom @ybmuG I wooden presume to attribute any leanings at all to something so upright.
But it does look a bit wired.
/giphy well done
Post?

@Kyeh @narfcake Clearly this is highlighting the elitism of the 1%ers and the rest of us are just scratching for a way to get by.
Something I could use right about meow:

this makes it even worse. Sold this year for $78,500.

@pmarin I got $750 for my '67 VW bus in 1983. They regularly bring 20 times that now.
