Car-spotting thread

Had to pick up some waterproofing concrete sealer from HD the other day. The gallon can slightly opened while on the floor behind my seat. As I was attempting to clean the white paint like substance form my floormats and rear seat I just pictured @Carson pouring gasoline over the car, lighting a match and walking away.
 
Progress made. Engine started right up. Every single light on the dash on, of course, because all the wheel sensors are disconnected. I had to power it up with a bunch of engine sensors disconnected to set the wastegate so about 10 saved ECU errors too.engine-complete.jpg

Now it's just a matter of 'assembly is the reversal of disassembly'. I'll get it on the ground, drive it around, then do the rear shocks, springs, and anti rollbar.

I've never had a paint can in any car I own. I hire people for that sort of stuff.
 
Thats awesome Tim...did know you had all this stuff. Love those old gas pumps...(even as someone who used to work in a gas station 🙂)

Wish I had more stuff from the time my father owned gulf stations.
 
@one piece crank gave me some sweet vintage stickers which I promptly pasted on my vintage top box. I figured this would be a good time to post up some of the crap sitting/hanging in my garage.
Nice collection of signs! I collect signs to some extent but am more of a license plate guy. Here is some of my collection. Anyone got a DC plate? Don’t have that one yet. And on the wall to the right of the 2nd pic is my collection of my lift tickets over the years.

I couldn’t care less what people do in their cars. What I care about is when the scumbags have to litter and toss their butts out the window.
Amen to that! I can’t believe how much more trash I’ve seen on the sides of the interstates in the last 1-2 years. In PA I contacted PennDOT to inquire as to how to address the growing problem and they stated the only time they clean up is if they happen to also be doing roadwork in the affected section. :shrug: Having inmates or adopt a highway programs seem to have fallen out of favor. Seems to me with the lighter traffic these days due to COVID it would be a prime time to clean things up.
 
Had a run in with a hopped up white Mercedes - had no problem keeping up to about 90 mph

But a minute later, this guy flies up on my ass - Florida State Trooper

Thought sure I was getting a ticket but I guess he never saw the race. Just followed me for about a mile then kept going when I turned off. Whew!
