Her answer to any question is the first thing a poorly phrased Google search vomits up.

Still frequently used on "period" builds.

Conversation requires two intelligent beings; good luck finding one.

Looking good. Really like the spaceship console.

I prefer The Giant Gila Monster.

As Mr. Budge alludes to, the refrigerant gas can leak out over time. Most fridges I've seen have provision for being evacuated and recharged, just like car AC. Problem is, if there's a leak and it's not fixed, the recharge is only temporary. Good luck finding a tech who can do it right, assuming he can even get the parts. I have a small bar fridge my father bought over 50 years ago still chugging merrily along, and a friend who's into old stuff has one from the late '40s that's never needed work either. They sure don't make stuff like they used to (shouted at the clouds).

I finally broke down and bought the handle and a full set of blades, and after trying them, never looked back. Expensive? Very, but worth every cent.

Yeah, I've been offered stupid money for my '89 GMC fleet-stripper longbed with a manual gearbox. Same for the '74 911. Nope.

Food for my soul is anything beautiful.

Buds in your ears might grow into leafy green vegetables.

Going by the video, if that's the stuff...nah. The airbrush rig is pretty cool, but the "chrome" itself looks like an express ticket to second or third rate work.

No safety regulations force a car to be ugly to comply.

Lotsa good stuff going on here.

Highways and safety thereon are not the reason many cars are ugly; incompetent, no-talent designers are.

It's always amazing how little regard some folks have for the stink or other annoyance they cause the people around them. I've got another new neighbor who blasts music until late in the night. Lotsa folks here just think I'm a nasty old man who hates younger folk's music. No, that's not it. I'd like to be able to listen to MY OWN DAMM MUSIC and not hear some thumping crapp in the background. I don't play MY music so loud other people HAVE TO HEAR IT, but these clowns FORCE me to hear theirs. The message: YOU have every right to listen to YOUR music...but YOU DON'T have the right to FORCE ME to listen to it too, and you DON'T have the right to burn stuff and stink up the entire neighborhood for EVERYONE 'cause you're too cheap to have your household garbage taken away, or too lazy to haul it yourself.

Got a shot of the specific thing? Or a link to the builder's recommendation? Googling "gundam chrome pen" gets several hits of different stuff.

Neighbors burning household garbage. The county law allows burning branches and leaves, which is fine, but specifically forbids burning treated wood, plastic, packaging, etc., but every fall the morons are at it again. Funny how people buy into the "save the planet" horse exhaust, but never seem to consider the negative effects of burning trash that besides CO2, also releases CARCINOGENS from burning plastics and other chemicals...and stinks to high heaven, ruining an otherwise beautiful autumn day. Time to call the FD, I guess. $100 to $1000 fines might stop 'em.

Vehicle design today seems to favor shapes reminiscent of hippos, with angry catfish faces.

Exclaimed I when I dropped the cylinder head on my foot "OUCH!!"
