Sounds about right

There's a Honda advert I've seen playing on Instagram, where the vehicles start off as F1 cars, morph between forms(boat, bike, classic F1) just like in the 'Impossible dream' commercial...and obviously at the end they turn back into F1 cars...

BUT JUST BEFORE THAT. The last step shows them turning into the current Honda lineup. Crossover SUV's, Civics and the like.

yeah...if you could have just left that step out, the ad would have been awesome.

I mean it would have made sense if they were showing theyre sorts lineup like the Type R or their S2000 (if they still make an equivalent to that)

[Ross Siggers]

Oh almight Lord...please give us another S2000. If that's too much to ask, maybe a few K's in my bank to buy my own.

Amen.

I see a few but not many good examples. I found a manual Mazda 6 s for 2300 seems alright if I can get it for 2K or less but its FWD of course.

Amazon has a similar non SO funnel that threads into the oil cap for half of that, but...

That being said @Real_PhillBert you need to understand, that it will still drip at least one drop of oil into the engine bay or onto your shirt just like a normal funnel when you remove it, unfortunately.

Never had that happen before.

I always remove my funnel with a paper towel under it.

Same!

You can get those without the Snapon sticker for a better price and it will do exactly the same thing. I'm all for great tools and Snappy makes some great tools, but basics like that there's no point in spending for Snap-on unless you like how it makes your dick twitch to have a Snap-on branded funnel.

 

 

So someone hit our building with a car as the conclusion of a police chase last night, we've got some damage inside in the form of cracks in the cinder block under a window where it was hit and on the outside a big gouge in the wall and a skid mark that goes about 15ft horizontal and about 5 feet vertical along the side of the building. The light pole got downed out there too, the head was laying next to the building and while it's missing the bottom cover and lens cover, and the case is cracked, it looked otherwise operational. So I took it.

 

It works. I got a street light! It's a nice LED with 32 Cree XP-G3 high CRI neutral white emitters and a good Philips driver. I can't decide if I want to install it in the garage or in the basement. I have pretty good garage lighting, this thing would be pretty crazy in there in addition to the lighting now. The basement could use better lighting too, I'm going to wire this up to a plug in cord and decide later on where it'll go. I'll just shove it up in the basement ceiling somehow for now and see how I like it down there.

The Ford Crown Victoria interests me kinda in the same way that the Kia Spectra and the Toyota Camry do: they are (or were) ubiquitous as hell and were designed to kinda be forgettable but they pique my interest.

Good, you can come buy the Lincoln Town Car once I fix the wiring, the owner handed over the title to us a while back and I just haven't had the time to fix it yet.
