Try this. If this happens to you, picture someone in the backseat of their car holding an open pot of gumbo telling their mom over the phone that its wasting all over the car. Just picture it. You gotta try this

[io @shromp_]

Every time I get stuck behind an overly cautious driver who can’t go around a turn without slowing down by 20mph and brakes way too early and everything when I start getting mad I just tell myself they’ve got gumbo with no top in the car and it makes me feel better.

New cars are starting to look like they were made of plastic and got dipped in acetone and the surface melted a bit

[io @shromp_]

Feels like cars these days are getting too smooth. I want real door handles back. I want real side mirrors. I want big lights. Come on

This wasn't meant to be anything high-effort. Just something quick & fun for the nsfw account. But it turned out so well i got mad that I couldn't share it here. So Hambrabi is hard at work censoring the part you aren't allowed to see. Everyone say thank you Hambrabi

[io @shromp_]

all done for today

[io @shromp_]

@LevMatthijs for real bro it feels like by the end of it i will have replaced every part and even then it probably still won’t run reliably

[io @shromp_]

the conclusion: i need new crank seals. And then once i replace those i need to tune the carb AGAIN.

[io @shromp_]

tuning my stupid bum loser ass carburetor. Trying to, at least. this sucks

[io @shromp_]

@Veetalin -to allow a different amount of fuel into the engine. mine wasn’t getting enough fuel so i needed slightly larger jets

[io @shromp_]

@Veetalin the carb has little tiny brass parts in it called jets. these basically just have a very precisely sized tiny hole in them to allow a set amount of fuel to flow through into the engine. the tuning that im doing is replacing the jets with ones of different sizes-

I promise you really don’t have to go 90 in a 55. It’s really not that important if you can’t. It really doesn’t matter all that much. I think you will be happier if you don’t force yourself to drive like this all the time. Doesn’t it get exhausting. Aren’t you tired

Nothing like the I-95 + capital beltway + I-66 combo to make you despise the very concept of the motorist

[io @shromp_]

I am the only good driver. It seems like everywhere I go I am the only one on the road who is capable of responsibly operating my vehicle. When did everyone else get so mean.

@ZloNoNameSov Interesting strategy I have never heard this before which must mean it’s a secret new untapped meta very powerful. I will be sure to try

i thought about the logistics of all the air intakes at least a little bit if anyone cares. it's overcomplicated and messy but it's plausibly functional and looks cool and that's all that matters

[io @shromp_]

changed some of the proportions and added a windshield. done for today... more updates whenever i work on it more
