Here's my bike, it doesn't run yet since I can't find a carb for it (it's 41 years old and this bike is insanely rare) and a lot other issues as well. It's a 1975 Suzuki TS75

Good luck with that (cool looking) moneypit.

there's a guy who owns a white 911 carrera vert somewhere in the same office park as i
i always thought it was called a bull bar

Mine is called a grille guard but it has multiple names

Today I did a car repair without any real help for the first time. I successfully changed out the Camry's front brake pads (they were super worn) Its a good feeling when you do it yourself

Also last week I installed this awesome wing from a Nissan Pathfinder, it adds 10 hp easy

Was driving car today and now my ears hurt because driving with the windows down briefly at 110mph doesn't feel that great with that wind in my ears.

Things I learned from driving the alfa through a "city"

• Bare metal floors mean it gets hot inside
• 1st gear is too short and too loud to do anything
• People are apparently afraid of a 40 year old car hurtling along at 65 and will gladly get out of your way
• Except for the people who don't "see" you and decide to pull out in front of you anyway
• My brakes now squeak like crazy because apparently doing at least 6 panic stops under 10 minutes isn't good for your brakes

keeping the brake dust off my wheels is a pain

angled like that it looks like it adds an ass ton of drag and some lift


edit: woop there goes $72 on 10L of motor oil...

also my white corners look rad as hell but make for terrible blinkers. in normal daylight you can't see them blinking, but since it's a 2-door bmw the oncoming traffic probably expects no use of blinkers from me anyways

i wish people would stop parking as close to me as possible after i park far out when i go to get groceries. it happens maybe 3 out of 5 times. if you have to do that for whatever reason then pls do it to the wrx/sti over there instead bitch, i promise he's more likely a richard driver than i am

On my camry I always fear that people don't see my blinkers because my front ones are below the bumper, the side markers are only for being daytime running lights

My Buick is like that. I never really worried about it though.

what a stupid design

The best part of construction zones is getting to downshift your car and hearing the beautiful exhaust pops.
tbh my car pops too much like it never shuts up like every time you let off the gas its just WHAAAAAAAAAAOPOP PO POPO PO POP OP OPO PO POP OPO
makes passing by cops, funerals, high school parking lots, and ghettos quite worrying sometimes

So I spent a good chunk of today re-mounting my car's aftermarket speakers because Metra provided the wrong screws. I installed the speakers back in january, and the right one fell out a few months ago, and I didn't even notice until last week. I decided to check under the door plastic, and a screw fell out as I separated the bottom of the door panel. I completely took off the panel and found the speaker barely hanging by a single screw. I borrowed my mom's 2009 camry le (Boring-ass car, even compared to my yaris) and headed to the local hardware store to get some longer screws and some nuts to help secure it. I then came back home, went out to my car, and worked on re-mounting the speaker with the new screws... in 98 degree tennessee heat. Then the screws I used were too long, so I had to mount the bracket in a funny way back onto the door to where only 2 screws were holding it in. The speaker wasn't moving around at all when I tried to shake it, so I put the panel back on the door. When I checked the driver's side door, the speaker was still in, but I put in the new screws anyways just to make sure. I've never sweat so much in my life. forget you, Metra, is it that hard to provide the right loving screws?

I made a guy in a lowered Silverado mad with my police car last night. Pretty sure he thought I was a legit cop as I followed him closely for about two miles. Blasted around him to beat him to the lane reduction and his jimmies busted through. High speed chase for the next five miles ensued including a drag test from a stoplight, which I won.

Hey guys, some loving motorbike starfish hit my driver mirror and broke the motor that was holding it in place. I sure as hell hope he fractured his arm. Anyways, the mirror itself is fine, the motor to move the mirror is fine but it flaps endlessly because the motor that held it in place and put it away (against the window) is broken thanks to this moron.

Can I legally drive with a taped mirror? Does anyone know?

I used duct tape to keep it in place because the insurance doesn't want to pay for it and it's a loving fortune ($2000 ars) for the spare part (+ mechanic) to fix it.
