Spotted outside of a nondescript business this morning

When people cry about how difficult it is to get a job today in America.
We literally employ anyone. Starting pay $18/hr.

This was done by a "journeymen" with 20+ years in the industry.

I'm angry that "millennials" get such a bad rep for being lazy, taking shortcuts, demanding something for nothing, and generally being privileged little bitches. I see the same type of crap from a 45 year old man who can't be bothered to pick up his apple core when he missed the trash can from 15' away.

IDK, that all looks up to code except for the problem in the second pic, with that rusted nut on the hold down anchor not showing at least three bolt threads sticking up past it. What would you rather they had done in those pics? (ie. what was as minimal as possible?)

Saw this in a parking lot today.

Huh.

Paco lift kit? 3″ Lift Kit

That was my guess, but it was pissing rain and I didn't crawl under enough to see how they lifted it.

Ever seen the documentary? Screw up after screwup on that toy.

steering shaft?

90 Miata stick shift. I didn't know they were isolated. The original cut revealed a washer on top of the rubber area, with a threaded post and nut. The washer looks like it actually touches the outer shell.

No words.

*I need @Joe Perez's opinion on this.

^Dafuq? Interesting and strange.

Since it's a picture thread here is a compound turbo arrangement on a diesel engine I saw today.

this is why I always look behind me when coming to a stop on a roadway:

her kid is a better driver than her. "slow down mom"

^^ Agreed, but I can't quite get "mom" out of that, instead I get something more like "Mike". :dunno:

These may be frowned upon on a Miata, but I got some, anyway...

Remember the journeyman i was talking about a few pages ago, who can't handle some simple conduit?

I found some more of his handy work. Not low voltage...

This guy is such a fucking asshole, he's going to get someone killed.

*the glove was there just to block the light for the camera.

How is he a journeyman?

God dam i hate exterior commercial lighting.

Turbo, Auto, runs 10s

Turbo, Auto, NB, already has a build thread on this forum with that video on it, if anyone is interested in learning more.

Who. Knows.


In other news, my car shorted out today. Battery was dead had to roll start it to get home. Some little critter got a good little shock eating into this.

Reminds me of an occurrence several years ago when one of the ladies in the office found that her car wouldn't start in the evening. She was ready to call AAA, but asked me if I'd take a look at it. The positive cable was loose (had never been tightened after the last battery replacement) and covered in more spooge than Hustler's anus after a Miata club meet.

I cleaned it, tightened it, and the car started. You'd have thought from her reaction that I'd just turned all the water in Lake Hodges into wine, and then walked on it.

I'm pretty sure by now youre used to that reaction...
