Unfortunately, I was unable to help this individual in his quest.meh, you should have pointed him to the closest pull a part and tell him "you see what we do with a LS. You should do that DIY. Anything else I can help you with?"
I don't say meh, I'm too old.
But I did tell him about the V8 swaps, the cost of DIY melted his brain. So I told him to sell the Miata and buy a Mustang. Because then he'll call Roush instead

I assume he had been binge watching the Fast and Furious movies just before he called.

Yeah, but then he'd have been looking for nozzzzz.

Politicians as "Morons of the Week" (unless they do something outside the world of politics) is just too easy and shows a lack of effort, and we want to be respectful of the "house rules".
I nominate Kanye for Moron of the year
Just came in to make sure it wasn't me.

Nope, you're good. Carry on. Better luck next week.
BTW - while I'm thinking about it, if Kanye West really does run for president, the "no politicians" rule goes out the window.
cliffs notes on who he is ?
so I don't have to wade through all the youtube BS
This tells you everything you need to know about Kanye in less than 5 minutes. Watch at least 2 minutes. It will be worth it.

Driving with no pants in Michigan in January is bad enough.
Half of the politicians that I see on a daily basis. "why are your benefits so high?" "because our retirement was underfunded in the past" "that is crazy, that isn't like a business" "no it isn't." A) it is underfunded because the previous legislative body cut benefits and now we are paying the retirement we promised years ago. B) trying to run your department lean is good but it still isn't a business.
Tldr: politicians dumb, say silly things about problems they created.

Logan's family is now raising money to educate students about things adults never thought to warn their children about - like drinking race fuel, WKRN reports.
Some of my earliest memories are of being taught the danger of poisons.
I'm curious. What, how, why on earth did they think drinking fuel, racing or otherwise, would make them high or drunk? Seems like one sip would have put a quick stop to that. Apparently no one siphons gasoline anymore. Hey, I've got a better idea, Everclear or moonshine.

Well the cops said they knew he was jackin' it before he crashed, so he must have left evidence...
Apparently its called Dewshine when the racing fuel is mixed with Mountain Dew. The teens believed the methanol is a substitute for ethanol.
just proof that Darwin CAN win if we'll just step back and let him have room to operate ... being that dumb should have consequences ... AND shouldn't be able to procreate OR, for that matter, be allowed to vote

Showed these idiots drinking every kind of auto fluid available. Fuel, anti freeze, etc... I am guessing that this kid hadn't seen this pile though.
