  • Maybe you avoided shock videos? It has been a quite common shock video on the Internet for the longest time, though I guess in more recent times it’s relatively tame compared to the rest.

    It was very common to stumble over it in the mid and late 2000s at least, and into the 2010s.

    Personally I only know of this whole thing because of someone sending me that video way back when, and my curiosity made me look it up.




  • It’s been remarkably reliable actually, but yeah if I had built it myself I’d have gone for a reliable 250hp setup.

    I got the car for a bargain from the guy that built it, because he had let it sit and rot, so the floor had to be replaced to pass safety, and he didn’t have the time to take care of it because of getting kids and working offshore.

    This is why my “shit hits the fan” vehicle is a 1982 diesel Mercedes.

    That thing will run on anything as fuel. I’ve tried running it on old used motor oil, used hydraulic oil from my car hoist, lamp oil, and yes ofc used fryer oil.

    I’m gonna be cruising in my old ass sedan laughing at the preppers in their modern trucks that can’t run on anything but the most pure of fuels without clogging their injectors.
