Im feeling that way about my solar panel in my camper. Fuck hookups, i can go anywhere and have more 12v power than ill ever use, especially since all my heating and cooking is done with propane, and ive got two 20lb bottles of it.
The weirdest thing just happend.
I bought a complete set of E46 M3 brake calipers for my racecar, for a absolute steal of 100 euro's. (They go for about 400-500 usually) This was about 6 months ago. To prove he really had what he said he made pictures of the calipers with my name next to it. (And his car in the background)
Now I was just browsing a car forum, and come across a topic about a seller who turned out to be a massive scammer, having scammed forum members on various websites. And what do I find there, a picture of the same car and the same damn barn.... So for some fucking reason I didn't get scammed while everyone else did :v:
i had a wee fender bender earlier and my drivers side headlight clips have broken. i'm going to get replacements but i'm wondering if it's safe to drive with them broken until i do?

the headlight feels secure and has very little movement in it so the bottom lug must be okay

Is there anything left holding it in place? If so, should be fine until you can fix it.

my headlight is zip tied in place
In my old Accord the hood latch broke so I stuck a nail between the two pieces. Worked well, even on the highway. But then the car detected the hood as open so the car alarm would go off at random.

that's what pulling fuses is for

Yeah I took care of the car alarm issue after the first time it woke me up at 2am.
Is it normal for an automatic car to not release the key if you forget to put it in park or is that just my car?
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;51306080]Is it normal for an automatic car to not release the key if you forget to put it in park or is that just my car?[/QUOTE]
My Volvo does that
Sounds perfectly normal for an internal combustion device to reject your right to remove the key in anything but Park. They are here in this world to just troll you and beep at you countless times a day for you to get mad at due to the lack of self-sustainability and requires you to adhere to the maintenance requirements set by the manufacturers to let their dealerships take every bit of money they can from you. But I believe the primary issue here is that oil companies keep buying out everyone to keep fuel mileage down and suppressing any breakthrough from the media.

i've seen a bmw key removed while in 4th gear doing 30mph or so

My Mitsubishi does this
I can remove the key in my truck, turn the tumbler back to off, and the truck will still run
12 valve life yo
I have my gate keys on the same ring as my truck key so it comes in handy to pull it out and leave the truck running to go open the gate
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;51306472]i've seen a bmw key removed while in 4th gear doing 30mph or so[/QUOTE]
my truck does the same thing. granted, I can also remove the key without turning the truck off.
I'm actually glad my ignition barrel is broken means I can get out and get something from the house or unlock my trailer without having to turn the thing off
This morning I found myself wishing I had a heated steering wheel. It was a really nice winter in Mississippi last year.
Well it looks like the Crown Vic died. During my Dad trying to figure out how to fix the oil issue, the engine seized. I'm trying to decide if I should put a new engine in it or sell it and use to the money to get something a bit more manageable for my brother.

On both my 94 GMC 1500 and my 82 Camaro I could remove the key while it was running no problem. Have yet to try it in the MR2 :v:

Did you ever settle things with your insurance company? I never heard back from the guy with the 86 fender.
[QUOTE=DPKiller;51288425]Those as in mopeds or as in fa 50s.
I would like to honestly see more pics of stuff.[/QUOTE]
oh fa50s? I though they were fz50s tbh, but I have 3 fz50s sitting in my garage somewhere stuffed away under like 50 different mopeds.

i never said the engine was running. the engine was turned off, key removed, tailgate opened, back in, rev matched and clutch released

conversely, I found myself sweating my ass off this morning. it's still miserably hot here

Totally normal. Even my manual Saab does that.
