I should really proof read my posts written before 9am. Anyways... It is time for :science: , I have found this extremely cheap wine in my home. I assume it's from my in laws.

Re: :plac: Finds: Show us your automotive goldmines

I don't understand since when 300hp and 330 torque is insufficient in a 4k lb vehicle ?! :wtf: Sure, it's plenty of power, but it's :jelapenis: for a sports car and just nothing especially :impressive: , which is why I said the car is meh. A used V6 Camry for the same $12k will probably be faster. ...

Plus the SL500 I drove was a slow turd, and the repairs kept coming. A C5 is twice the car in more then a handful of ways.

looks like a render. Shipping containers have low ceilings and are not really good design for small spaces. :wat: 8'+ ceilings, breh. That's plenty high. You can get them for cheap, like $300.

Re: Tiny Houses

I'd weld together two to six shipping crates for next to nothing as my start point and put it where it doesn't need to move. It can get built in modules and shipped easily, then fastened/welded together on site. Here's a picture of one built from three. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170726/295...

Re: So I bought some useless junk recently...

Decanting wine is supposed to allow the wine to evaporate some of the alcoholic edge in the wine by exposing more surface area to open air. It allows you to taste the other flavors in the wine more easily. It's good for cheap wines too, making them present better then they actually are. Cheap wines ...

Old guys can polish that old benzo till the cows come home. I've worked on and drove around a 90s SL500 and can honestly say that the interior will be so badly rotted from heat cycles that if you try to slide or open a vent or mirror cover too quickly it'll snap in half. Also, you'll need a small s...
