no shit?
my ranger's shifter literally broke off of the transmission.
86 4cyl.
cracked windshield
no driver's side window
seatbelts didn't work.
fucking loved that truck.

sidenote - my miata's block has a hole in it. it was on fire when it happened.
unfortunately the fire didn't claim the whole car, so i have a fucking nb in the back with a vta block

Oh, man. That Mario display is awesome.

Speaking of what happens when people have too much time on their hands, here's a repost that I felt needed to be immortalized in the pictures thread, Steve Jobs' head made out of cheese:

Ford used really poor quality wire and the pvc jacket just falls off the wire, it shorted out and caught fire. I put all my heart and soul in that truck and was completely crushed to watch it burn. Actually attempted to rebuild it but abandoned the project and tried to sell it after I couldn't get the motor to run correctly. Had one kid come by to look at it and ended up walking, so I sold it to my brother who is going to complete the turbo motor install with megasquirt.

The motor in it now is a stock 2.3 with short header, a homebrew ported head and racerwalsh stage 3 cam. Truck has a serious lope to the idle for a 4 cylinder and pulls really hard way past redline. Come to find out the cam belt skipped a tooth which is why it wasn't running very well, plus the high pressure fuel pump died.

First picture is the stock Ford Ranger fuel system.
The rest are HIS new fuel system...

here is a pic of my two red bitches

i never planned on doing anything with it, just drive it to and from work when the ms3 was getting worked on.

after the shifter broke off, i sold the shit for 260 bucks...
i bought it for 560...it got me around for a few months...not a horrible loss.

Oh man. Maybe I'm just a shitty metalhead, but when the lyrics get to that level of growling, I feel like its detrimental to the quality of the music behind it.

Lol @ the cat and Seasons in the Abyss. Too much cat nip.

Let me guess, he has a 1.6 and didn't swap out the rear end for a 1.8 diff?

It is nice to get a project on the road.

This came in the mail yesterday (amazing that it was only $0.35 shipping). Three heavy layers of thick cardboard. Shoe above it for size comparison:

So what was in it?

Something I have always wanted. A Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven 45. You couldn't buy these in stores. Only released to radio stations. I stole this one at $78. I had bid $151 on three others this year and $400+ on a slightly rarer version of one (different cover/label). Lost all the other bids by less than $5.

I can't really tell from the pictures, but does it have the station's library stamp on the label?

Also, sometimes censorship can be sexy:

No, it has a name written on one side. Doesn't really bother me too much though.

Nope. That car was skidudes 94. He launched at 4500 rpms and had some sticky tires. He said it was a torsen but I don't know of a torsen that exploded like this

Through independent research I've discovered that sometimes she looks quite nice:

Read the comments for a good LOL:
"Thank you Playmobil for allowing me to teach my 5-year old the importance of recognizing what a failing bureaucracy in a ever growing fascist state looks like. Sometimes it's a hard lesson for kids to learn because not all pigs carry billy clubs and wear body armor. I applaud the people who created this toy for finally being hip to our changing times."

I was going to order that pork-eating-crusader patch, but the erroneous Arabic on it killed me.

So instead, my collection includes Embrace the Suck (Multicam), Shit Magnet (Multicam), and Fun Meter (desert).

http://milspecmonkey.com/patches/emb...uck-batch1.jpg
http://milspecmonkey.com/patches/shitmagnet-batch2.jpg
http://milspecmonkey.com/patches/fun-meter-batch1.jpg

So, what does the Arabic on "Pork Eating Crusader" really say?

It's just a clumsy way to say it. It reads more as "A single crusader that eats pig".

It says "Salibian an ya'kl khanzir", "Salibi alethi ya'kl lehm alkhanzir" would be better. Longer, yes, but better in that it conveys the correct meaning.

Interested to know myself.

Guess I don't get the Embrace the Suck? Is that the replacement term for "the shit" aka combat??

These two pictures couldn't demonstrate any better the evolution of the modern sports bike frame.

Edit: that being said, I'd take the Norton

I believe he can fluently speak, read, and write multiple sorts of Arabic.

Yessir, not with the fluency of a native but I can carry a conversation, and read/write. I can understand someone speaking it to me a lot better than I can produce it back to them.. haha.

Elesjuan - "The Suck" is not so much the combat, more the shittier parts of being deployed (time away from family/friends/civilization).

That makes sense.

You forgot to say what the patch actually says. lol

Living right next to schofield I've actually seen the last one.

Seen variations of it all over, including here. The medics aren't allowed to wear it if we get a female visitor.

Favorite is the aviation unit (Chinooks) with the "Get Vertical" slogan. Can't find it though. :/

Elesjuan - post #2258?
