The Automotive (& other mechanized vehicles) thread

I just want to slide a stick of dynamite up its tailpipe and roll it down a hill.

This is exactly what covid-19 is doing to all of us right now.

So here's some full frontal tailpipe dekotora because why not:

Needs more purple.

I wanna get this coffee table book about dekotora but it's like $100+...

Needs more purple.

Harder to find than I thought:


Had to settle for the hot wheels version:

I bought this 2015 GTI a few days ago.

Very happy with it so far, definitely the nicest car I've owned yet by leaps and bounds. Practical enough, but still fun to drive. Spent a little more than I initially wanted to, so I'm definitely going to be selling my Miata and going down to just one car.

selling my Miata

bruh

I know, really don't want to sell it, especially since I just put the damn rollbar in a few months ago. But realistically the writing's on the wall, I can't justify keeping it around long term with two young kids. My wife is going back to work at the end of September, and I'll be the one taking the girls to daycare in the morning.

I'd barely have a chance to drive it after that, and car insurance is stupid expensive here, so I'd likely be selling it next year anyway. And the Miata market is hot here right now, so I'd be able to get more out of it now than I'd expected. Probably going to do a semi part out and remove the rollbar though and sell it, the hardtop, and wheels separately.

Don't worry, colin, I've got a Sawzall and I (don't really) know how to use it!

I don't know the backstory, but I do hope the heaviest thing that ABF driver can ever operate again is a moped.

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, it was a little disturbing watchin' the truck driver tryin' to shake the dude off. Being Florida, don't think the driver'll face any penalty.
