That really caught my eye. Especially that three-wheeled car. It doesn't need an alignment!

Very impressive but it must be hard to source ammo for that thing.

Cannot explain why this is so interesting. Don't think it's a me thing (this time).

@hoa_ksop True, but I just get a kick watching these guy do their thing. If I want suspense I can just 

wait until the wife asks me if her new dress makes her look fat.

@mtk "Does this dress make me look fat" tips.  1. "Dear, that pattern is not flattering".  2.  "Vertical patterns make you look taller".  3. "You look great"  (Be sure to smile when saying all three.)

Yeah, it's fun to watch them bring those beasts back to life.  For awhile I was watching a bunch of the ones where guys find abandoned bulldozers or other abandoned heavy equipment and get them running.  So I can relate.

@hoa_ksop I remember, what, about 10 years ago or thereabouts, watching guys fix cars was all the rage.

Actually, I kinda miss those.

@mtk Yeah there were some seriously nice rides on those.  I also liked to watch the chopper build shows too.

I was a devout fan of the Meacham Auto Auction. I would pretend I had $25k and bid along with them.

Oh my. Now that's an oil leak!

Kind of reminds me of a car I used to have.

All because of a loose plug? Maybe.
