Seeing screws driven into the carbon fiber pressure vessel to mount a monitor because Mr. Sub didn't want actual competent submariners or engineers around pretty much told me everything I needed to know quite soon after the...failure.

Yup. When I was a kid, those were the adult men who shaped my idea of what an adult man was supposed to be. My, how times have changed...

Some of the photos being 2 billion pixels doesn't help much either...

I rarely give a rat's rump about celebs moving on, but this saddens me. My folks moved us from the Jersey shore to the middle-of-nowhere SC, and Beach Boys music went a long way towards keeping me somewhat sane after being transplanted into a pretty alien culture, where the closest (usually lousy) surf was 2 hours away. Thanks for every note you ever wrote Brian. Really.

Before I go anywhere I want some breakfast.

I can definitely identify with that one.

First remember that a penny saved is a penny earned, and that a big 2 cents doesn't get you much except the ramblings of some idiot like me.

Munchies are baby Munchkins, right?

Good on ya. My local region also improved dramatically after my repeated and lengthy complaints, and there's no way I was the only one. They're doing a pretty OK job now, much better...but UPS seems to have taken up the chimp slack.

Hand me that 3/4 inch squirrel on the bench over there.

Even though it appears to be fairly complete, it'd be a hugely expensive project for anyone, especially if they couldn't do much of the work...well...themselves. Sadly, there's just not a human available for every deserving old car. A straight resto would be tough, as a lot of trim etc. isn't readily available. BUT...it's the perfect jumping off point for something radical.

Campesi's art and designs are so cool, and it's always great to see an old model recycled into something radical. What's not to love?

Does anybody really know what time it is?

"Friend" is somebody who always needs a favor, but never reciprocates.

Rain, rain, more rain, rain after that, rain forecast next several days. I'm beginning to mildew.

"Table grade" can mean different things in different situations.

Yup. That's a very real problem, and why I stopped trying to save a couple of bucks. You may as well burn your money.

The poorly designed car that takes significant disassembly to change a cabin filter in the video is a Lincoln. The car that allows the filter to be changed in seconds is a Toyota.

Pretty cool. I've never seen that generation TVR in the flesh.

Did you see how the Toyota cabin filter is so easy to access? GOOD engineers design in serviceability. That, however, seems to be an idea that's become obsolete almost everywhere.

Follow Mr. Potato Head's lead and don't forget to wear your Depends.

Ow. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and minimal pain during rehab.

Fruit and begetables really ARE good for you, but humans need MEAT too...animal protein.
