S&M Statism should read sadism.

Hah! My old man had a 1968 AMX back in the day WAY before I was born. I believe he said it had some sort of serial number tag on the dash, and it was under 100

 

Fiiiiiiinally!

 

 

I actually still have my own '68 AMX hogging up one side of the garage (since 1983). I used to know it's badge number by heart, but after 33 years, I'd have to go look again. It just sits there, waiting patiently for me and my wallet.

Growing up, I always thought my dad was nuts because he stored/saved his own lil baby, a old (non-running) '49 Studebaker Champion convertible, in the single car garage at home. I was sure it would never ever see the road again, and then I'd inevitably end up having to deal with "inheriting" it after he died, but to my surprise, when he finally quit working full time (at 82), he actually restored it himself and has now driven it across the country (well, CA->PA) and back 3 times since. He'll be 89 this year. Me & My Car:Modern 1949 Studebaker was ahead of its time - EastBayTimes.com

I guess I'm hoping I can do the same someday with the AMX. Hopefully before I turn 80 though.


(not his, but similar)

 

Craigslist be like "ran when parked, needs minor work."

 

 

Just drove over GW Bridge... Hi Joe!

 

That would be funny if you were Australian.

 

 

Why did they not test the top lock nut?

 

Or loctite red.
Hell, even blue.

Henkel(parent company of loctite) is a pretty huge supplier for us, so i have the option to buy this stuff by the 55 gallon drum if i want.

 

Ironically, I was in LA at that exact moment.


But back in NYC now. And you know what? **** this sign:

Yup.


I discovered a new panel in the office recently. Well, not a new panel, but a panel I'd not previously seen:

 

So do you send anyone with a death penalty to that panel?

 

We have Nordlocks at work but people are ******* retarded and don't know how they work. They pry apart the two pieces and only put one half on...

Pretty sure @hi_im_sean ordered them.

 

Yea, they also put split lock washers under the regular washer instead of under the bolt head, and I constantly find external tooth washers a size or 2 too big so that none of the serrations are under the bolt head....

fuking morons
