Absolute best use of this meme ever.

They finally repaired the Giant Rotating Orb at the Fry's in San Macros, which sits between the book section and the electronic components section.



Hooray!

lawls.

I bet a lot of people don't get it.

Haha. A friend of mine used to have an early 70's vintage Impala convertible. Guess whet he called it?

I saw a plate on a boxster yesterday that read "get paid"


video reminds me of my days in richmond when we'd go cruising on drag radials and a 200 shot.

Most original license plate I've ever seen:

They will be making that Lada till 2014, I think.

One of my favorite TG comparative reviews.

You guys in CA kill me. Why can't we get a Fry's in SC?

That's gotta be really weird aiming at a person you know and pulling the trigger. I mean you know they're going to be safe, but I bet its still weird.

scored this for $500

Fuckin' a.. How'd you do that? Does it have a drivetrain?

ahhh, the elusive 500 dollar miata
it does exist...

Hahaha.

Every Fry's location has a unique theme. In Burbank, it's Alien Invasion, with a giant flying saucer crashed through the front of the building and a running gun battle between 50's vintage Army troops and Alien conquerors all throughout the inside. In North Dallas it's a cattle drive, with cowbows and livestock all throughout. The Woodland Hills store is Alice in Wonderland, which is kind of freaky. In Anaheim, it's all NASA, and the San Jose store is a Mayan temple.

In San Macros, it's the Lost City of Atlantis. There's a large shark tank (with sharks) at the entrance, several smaller aquariums with "artifacts" in them, and of course, the Giant, Slowly-Rotating Orb. The Orb is kind of fun, actually. It's solid stone, but it's floating on an essentially frictionless surface. So while it has tremendous mass, you can twirl it around with your hand.

Our store also has two giant (~30' tall) Jacob's Ladders at the front entrance, and although I can't see how they are relevant to the theme, they are pretty cool.

Nice find. That's pretty damn good looking for $500. Story?

I saw the screen went blank with like 10 seconds to go....

....I thought they were going to show a blooper...

Our Fry's in Wilsonville is a converted Incredible Universe. It's very boring.

Easily the biggest Ive ever seen, with its legs fully extended about as big as a standard soup can lid.

what a little boss

Was looking for a shell, saw this guy on CL advertising a 91 with 250k miles and non-running, with an "electrical problem", all for $700. Guy who was selling it got the car as a gift from his father-in-law, so he just wanted to get rid of it. According to him, someone tried to jump it and reversed the polarity. They took it to a mechanic and he quoted them $1500 to "replace the whole electrical system".

I was the first one to come look at it last Saturday, in the middle of hurricane Irene. I wore swimming shorts and flip flops :) It had a broken off main 80A fuse. You know, as someone tried to pull it out with pliers without first removing the bolts that hold it ;) I offered him $500 on the spot (had a tiny bit of rocker rust on one side, not visible but it's rotting underneath - used that to bring the price down). Then came on Wednesday with the fuse, replaced, jumped the car and it ran like a champ although completely dead battery. And yesterday I picked it up with my dad and drove it 40 miles home just fine. Battery seems to be a bit charged now, so maybe I can get away without buying a new one.

It's a repaint and actually has tiny bit under 180k miles. It's the same year and color as my current Miata so I just slapped my current historic tags on it.

Has cruise and power windows. Guessing it has a VLSD as well. Not sure what I'll do with it

This thread is full of win

You are at post 8, with several in the past few minutes saying absolutely nothing. Then you posted in the random picture thread without a picture. You sir are full of fail and if you dare post a FS add any time soon BanHammer will be coming out.

I didn't get a picture... but on the front of this thing is about 20lb piece of metal... THAT SERVES NO PURPOSE (other than holding the radiator fan... but really?).

And where did they put the distributor? UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD???? In the WORST possible spot. Oil/water/sludge drips on it constantly.

Eww, what did that come out of? Looks pretty terrible indeed. I now bid you congratulation on 4 hours!

I hate cars with terrible design and no sense of ever needing the be repaired later.

Looks like domestic pickup

1999 Chevy S10 :facepalm:

The shop quoted 3k for a head gasket LUL, sooo I'm helping out on my 3 day weekend.

This was my $400 Miata (and I thought I did good):

A lot of you know the story but I sold the engine for $300 and built this out of the shell:

http://www.lightweightmiata.com/trailer/trailer51.jpg

If you think an LS1 fbody is hard to work on you must not be very mechanically inclined. Lt1s are way worse and they arent even that hard.

I was just thinking 4th gen F-body because of the engine placement.

Yeah, like changing the fucking spark plugs on an LT1. How about replacing the EGR valve? (Read: Removing and plugging)

Head gaskets?


I'd rather swap from a piece of shit automatic to a 6 speed in a 4th gen F-body than replace spark plugs. :loser:

Reminds me of the spark plugs on my moms Dodge minivan, by the looks of it you'd almost have to remove the engine to get to the plugs on the rear facing bank of the engine.
Something like this:
http://imageonthefly.autodatadirect....755&HEIGHT=500

I ain't not SVT-loving fagggot but the second-gen Lightning is just as bad.

Some engine setups like that require the cowl and intake manifold to be removed, just to get to the plugs. :facepalm:

I guess it's smart by the manufactuer. Make it hard to work on so people bring them to the dealer. Then get paid more since it takes longer to do the work.

^LOL I so fucking hate TV. All those garbage "reality" shows.

I've patronized this store at least 250 times (roughly twice a month for 10 years) and never noticed their theme. They still audit my fucking receipt, which, as a regular, really chaps my balls.
The Jake Ladder at the Fremont store is so loud an annoying when it goes off that I cannot ignore it. The smell of ozone is quite nice but otherwise that thing is a waste of space and power.
The main thing I don't like about Fry's is that they're the only vendor who has exactly what I need, and I think they know it.

Where's the fuckin battery? This requires removing the passenger side wheel, inner wheel, and nearly the fender to replace. The BATTERY......I always liked the 300M.. Except that its a Chrysler and the wrong wheels are powered... At least they put the engine in the correct direction...


Took me nearly 3 hours to replace the alternator on my Protege.. Had to damn near pull the rack to get the old one pulled out of the engine bay and the new slipped in.. Don't think they ever intended that to be done with the engine installed..
