This is surprising to me on multiple levels. For one thing, I thought with online shopping being more prevalent than ever, box demand would be at its highest ever. 1999? How!?

But I assume this has more to do with padded shipping envelopes taking up a much larger percentage of packages shipped.

I heard someone say, “that’s good enough for the time being.”

Who is the time being? And how do we know what their standards are? 🤔

Bean butt is definitely not bean legs.

I’ve been slacking on putting photos here. Here’s a few of the one token Ferrari that showed up to the small town Cars & Coffee.

I am a film hipster now, as required by my new job as a photography teacher.

I didn't even know you streamed, lol. Just followed. I make NO promises to watch consistently, since I can't even keep up with my existing friends on Twitch, but you'll at least be a visual nag on my Following sidebar from now on.

Surely Nissan ownership isn’t that bad.

Seems like there was another far right nationalist movement that caused ordinary people to behave inhumanely too… can’t quite put my finger on it.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a GIF. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, LotR, Marvel

This one sensed my temptation today and drove in the grass to deter me. Clever.

The midwestern urge to drive under these…

Totally kafkaesque

Am I a boomer now?

2nd place in class. Lost to a series 1 E-Type.

As a millennial I could be wrong about this, but I associate AriZona Ice Tea with Gen X.

My old go kart is a Jeep, apparently.

I’m cheating just a little bit here to be honest. Mine is running on a new ignition system, so some of the Lucas wiring and mess of spark plug wires in the middle is gone/cleaned up. I also deleted the air injection system for cold start emissions.

That one is in great shape. But I don’t care for the side strips and rear fascia changes on the facelift models. I like my pre-facelift model better.

I’ve always kind of hated the facelift rear lights. They remind me of a ‘90s Crown Vic or something. I prefer the back of my own car:

I think it’s air conditioning lines you’re thinking of. Here’s my engine bay.

Local complaint:

If you order from your car at the root beer stand and leave the engine running the whole time you’re there, you are a menace to society.

Fighter? This thing is hauling nothing but cans of whoop-ass. Bring it.

When your friend’s mom has free hostas just a few blocks away, it’s nice to have this old tractor to haul them home.

Awful...

Has anybody on weird car Bluesky heard of the Roundheadlamp Rally 1000? I've been curious about it ever since I parked my Jag next to a Lancia Scorpion that was sporting the RHR1K sticker.

One of the groups involved just put out this video. Solid wrenching.

TIL that my 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix is a luxury car.

By age, 10 years. Our TourX needs new tires at 5.5 years based on the tread though.

It really depends on the tire though. Some look shot at 7 years. Others, like those on my XJS, looked perfectly fine after 21 years, and I still have one of those in the trunk as a spare.

The FT-17 in BF1 has a howitzer version which turns it into a slow-firing, slow-aiming glass cannon. Sneak up behind a bigger tank and they're toast.

Oh I don’t know about that. It can dominate the battlefield in Battlefield 1.
