To answer the question on your previous post.
No it wasn't ice. It rained the night before and the steps were a bit slippery. Doesn't help that I have like no traction whatsoever on my shoes....
I actually haven't driven that many things ._.
Pretty much just my cars, my sister's car, and my dad's vans.
Either need new shoes, or get the steps surface a bit gritty.... wat, no one keeps the porch step swept... odd they'd be slippery unless it was mossy or muddy.
Vans :P You ever do a 0-60 time in your sissas car? Nah, probably burn up it's excuse for a tranny. I damn near done mine (the celebrity) in doing a 0-60 - was about 15 seconds :( Plugs needed to be done, gas could've been cleaner, new air filter would've helped plenty... shit shame they never built it with a manual tranny, that thing would've pulled pretty good
Yeah I know I need new shoes. But I go through shoes relatively fast...I've only had these for a few months and they're pretty much completely worn down. Also the porch is made out of wood ._.
No ._. the fastest I've ever gone in that was like 50....in town ._.
Well, either scuff (or carefully hacksaw) some tread on your shoes or put those rough tub stickers or anti--slip pads on the porch
just a thought... where's the nearest race track?
I did a little over 80 on the turnpike in the ford ltd (man the shocks were shit on that car, all floaty feeling).... state trooper pulled up and put the spotlight on me (just acted 'natural' and he sped ahead of me) (whew)
I dont wanna use a hacksaw on my shoes ._. they're only plain shoes....
I dunno if my dad would be okay with me doing that. Dunno why but hes like that sometimes.
I wanna say it's in Joliet.
My dad used to have like....3 Ford LTDs. All around 78 or 79
could heat up some metal and melt some tread on... not too hot
well, just watch yo step son :|
bit of a ride...
man, the 83 ford was dangerous and sucky!! stapled wires onto the radiator hose, carb was fixed so you could adjust it (and would leak and occasionally catch fire) a bunch of other design flaws. still, was an okay car, kinda
I dont have any metal to do that with ._.
So kinda like my dad's 58 Biscayne? (with the carb.)
:| maybe just take a torch to a nearby manhole cover and step on it? I really wish I could send you a care package of semi-useful stuff, like expanded metal, pieces of angle iron, pipes for leverage......
rly? the ford's carb adjustment had some kinda sotter or weld over the holes :|
I dont think we have a torch anymore ._.
Yeah....it had a problem with that....still does somewhat but its not as bad.
we asked around, and other mechanics said the settings were close enough and a new carb was just too costly (mainly because of what ford had did, holly saw $$$)
anyways, gonna nap out for a bit
laters :)
Quite the impressive collection of data you've amassed here.
Once the stuff got found and dumped, it was a hella-lotta clicking around (had the list typed up, then transferred to the post form, then copied, deleted, pasted into field, go to dump page, copy, paste, click, repeat).
Hope you end up with a better car(s) than I've had, though the Maxima and Celebrity were damn fine rides. Civic was okay too (majorly efficient), but those lil wheels on East coast roads ... :|
Ah. That reminds me...I still need to get a new carb. for my Ranchero....
Though I dunno when I'm going to get around to doing that ._.
Can't just get a few cubic feet of flat space and rebuild it? the john deere's carb (pictured above) is just rotted :(
Hmm, might do better with a less hungry carb anyway.... but the price O___O of those things!!!!!
Its not that it needs to be rebuilt. I need a new one because its a 4 barrel and it causes the car to pretty much inhale gas like its nothing.
mmmmm, like I need a mod chip for the old man's PU truck.
still gotta get that 10-40 oil th fuck outta there - if the guy didn't have the 5-30, he shoulda waited or just went somewhere else... engine's burning oil like fast!!
modern engines.... really hope I can make room in the garage to get all those little 20th century motors up and running, there are so many here!
I'd have put the 2000 GMC Sienna on the list, but it belongs to the whole family, even though I'm the only one using it just now. I think it has the 5.7 liter V8, which is the smallest they produced for that particular model, with extended cab (w/ suicide door) and towing package.
I think the only motors we have just laying around are ones for: 1968 Charger, a Vega motor, and some other motor just sitting in a garage.
Should put them on ebay or craigs list... I should be doing the same.
Gotta a shit ton of little motors not over 20hp...
I dunno if they still turn over or not....
Pipewrench to crankshaft, or if it was installed ._., put it in gear and pussssh.
Could push on the piston head too...
just thinking of the pushrods on the massey. last time a nasty knock happened, he (my pop) took 6 bolts of the valve cover, pulled the bad rod out, banged it straight, stuck it in, and bolted the cover up O_o no sticky shit required for the cover :)
Yeah but they're way out of the way so you'd have to climb over stuff to get to em....
Dunno when we'd be able to check em to try that stuff though ._.
Sounds like pretty much everything of value here.. they're all in 'the back' of everything else
It's condensation in the carb and cylinders that's the most damaging....
Whoa....I just logged my stats in that "stat whore" site and apparently since my last log thingy (Jan. 5th) I got 900 b/p points! Thats INSANE!!!!!! I almost got 1000 points in LESS than a month! If I keep this up I should be a Supreme Commander by the end of 2014 if not the middle of 2015.
http://decky.newgrounds.com/ has done well for himself in 3 years..... wait, wat? already talking whore-shop w. decky? lolz
Yeah....we also have a big container thingy full of parts off of a green 1964 Ford Thunderbird my dad owned, gave to his brother, then got back from his brother after he took it apart.
Yeah I was talking to Decky.
My ex-gf's sis had a 64 TB... my Pop left parts for a great many cars here :| Hope they all get IDed
Sent him my regards. Surprised he doesn't have more fans, he's a nice bloke.
We have a TON of car parts in a garage we have at my grandma(my dad's mom)'s house. Vega parts, Charger parts (like some stuff off of his General Lees), Thunderbird parts, parts for the other like 30 cars hes had over the years....its craziness.
As am I. But then again he might be like me with not caring how many fans he has.
My Pop said he was gonna take all that shit with him when he died :| And without an inventory or labels, it might as well be.
True, but he's had a lot of exposure. Fan/friend numbers aside, I run my own race with regard to stats. Sure, I like to see who's been humping the site and all.... measure my NG schlong against theirs, but I'm more or less proud of my stats where they are. Except for the level, which would've been at least... 52 days x 6 years.... I used to vote every saturday on my cousins computer without being logged in. Just damn glad my neighbor's letting me use her wifi.
Eh, gonna log off and try and ignore the wind :| All that post-sandy cleanup got messed up again with the 50-60 mph winds today. At least the cats are getting a workout chasing shit. The orange caught a mole yesterday and had a grand ol time bouncing it off the back door.
I need to start writing down what I have when it comes to like...vinyls, cds, and stuff like that. I dunno why but I wanna keep all that stuff up to date and whatnot.
Yeah he has.....
And I wont be proud of my stats til I get up in the 40s level wise and have one of those fancy shmancy gold shields for my b/p rank. If I can get my stats higher than that I'd still be okay with it.
Maybe just keep em all in alphabetical order, like I do (did) with albums, cassettes. No need for a power-point presentation......
(As per stats) Doesn't matter to me, I'm proud of you as an NG OG. Just vote using your gut, and all will be jake for sure.
[wtf?? blog responses are now listed? scary.]
[useful, but scary. gonna breed stalkers with dat chit]
Well I was going to take a notebook and write em all down then transfer them to either a wordpad or notepad document. So I can have that stuff on hand if I for some reason need to tell someone what I do and don't have and whatnot.
I still have no idea what "NG OG" means....
Yeah. If you were online yesterday at any point you'd know that the site was fucking up quite a bit. And it was because they were implementing that along with some other stuff.
Newgrounds original gangster? Well, technically, you're not :( but I think of you that way!
Ah. I don't think I qualify as being that yet....gotta wait a few more years xD
Also I passed 3000 posts last night :3 and am already 1/3 of the way to 3100.
(Yeah I kinda...ramped up my posting lately. I'm making between 20 - 40 posts A DAY!)
Post counts only seem to matter at NG logs - doesn't add to voting power or level or anything, right?
My post quality just suck, so I try not to... post.
I'm a God in my own mind anyway.
Yeah seems like it....
I'm a simple nothing special user on here ._.
Also I just got back from Subway and got a foot long: pepperoni, salami, and steak sub with lettuce, onion, green bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. With american cheese.
Incredibly bad breath and gas here I come!
You're a simple special user that has published a ton of stuff for the audio portal... most definitely counts.
Aww, you suck! If I went for something like that, it'd cost like 12 bucks! No provolone? Hope they didn't burn you with imitation american cheese.
All I got is eggs, spam (which, damn, ma was right, shit tastes awesome fried the fuck up), some taco meat a spoonful of uber bland mac n cheese... about it. Quite poor too, but my sis said she sent me a check to tide me over till things improve.
Gonna eat and zone out for a while - guess I'm done making a fool of myself here for a while.
...............That Maxima was a bad ass car... only real rear wheel drive I ever owned :( That thing really loved corners. Was an old straight 6, but... lovely

None of these pictures are of the actual vehicle, but the body types are spot-on accurate, even if the colors weren't. Pity I couldn't find pictures of the tractors with the 'add-ons' attached, makes more sense when you see them like that. Have a nagging feeling I'm still missing one or two......
