We don't "hate"......this appears to simply be a misalignment of the planets, thus allowing aliens to directly send improper "thoughts and ideas" to Maritime's thought process's.
Verrrry disturbing that those darn aliens can manipulate the common sense portion of our brains.
Maybe holding him in Dirtmans basement for a period of time will "bring him back".

I agree.

GM vehicles are junk. Their pushrod V8s are incredibly good engines. As much as I despise GM, credit where credit is due. (y)





Let 'em hate. If I ever Hemi swap a RBV, its getting a Ram's head precisely where your bowtie is. (y)
No no no.... It needs this on the hood. Ok I know its a LA block era emblem but still the best.

I gotta say I like the badge. You placed it well and the color is perfect.

I changed speedo gears in the stepside truck so that the gauge reads correctly.

Also replaced the front diff cover on my crawler. I had one on there that I bought used, some tard had drilled out all the holes to like 7/16 when they should be 5/16. I've glued it on several times but it always starts leaking after I've drug it over a few rocks because it can shift around since the bolt holes are too big. I bought a Motobilt diff cover and am trying a lube locker gasket this time.

Be happy. I get owls and hawks crap on my truck... in case your wondering, owls and hawks have human poops, in both stink and sometimes size.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Probably old AMC Eagles. They hate every other brand.

Or maybe Firebirds.

They didn't like my truck for sure... the spare is covering the huge dump on the rear glass and release latch.

Got a little closer today... gonna have to fab up a support. Even with the bumper built out of 3/16 it still flexes a bit to much for my liking. Going to be a couple days... to much going on this weekend.

Well, looks like we are NOT racing the Ranger this year. Block has a terminal water leak driver side caused by not getting all the water drained out last fall. Mixed feelings for sure but I would feel a whole lot worse if I had already gotten the transbrake installed and the gears changed and then found the leak. Next year we'll have a fresh 12:1 355 with all forged internals and will be spinning it to 7500 instead of the 6000 we've been doing on that old 9:1 ex-tow truck turd. "Turd" is being polite LOL with 400,000 kms on crank, rods and pistons and a ring gap you could drive a Peterbuilt through.

Aside from the bird crap, bumper and spare tire bracket look great.

Someone named Dick wrote his name on your spare.
