AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I'm not sure if this is redneck or just ghetto, but I used a street sign (Right Turn Only, I believe) to patch some holes in the firewall of a Camaro once.
Meh, I've seen if before. License plates too.
When I needed to patch the floors in my Camaro so I went for a drive /metal hunt. I saw a washing machine so I got out, ripped the door off, went home and proceeded to patch the floors
Patched my 70 camaro with flattened out budwieser cans. It gave a nice backing for the bondo to stick to.
My son, just this past november, hit a deer in his 1992 Cherokee, he stopped, cut the still struggling deer's throat with his pocket knife, and then cut the entire head and shoulders off using only that buck knife. We are still awaiting the taxidermy man to finish the job. And no there was no deer tag involved....and that is what makes it a redneck thing to do.
There is no such thing as a redneck that knows what a .338 Lapua is. Read that somewhere above....that is not a redneck round.
We use 30-30 and 30-.06 ....no other rifle rounds other than .22 (for cats).
Other then that...only 12 gauge shotguns, .357 Magnums and .44 magnums are the only firearms in the redneck arsenal.
My 79 Ford Hiboy was pretty much stock. Only sold it when the bed fell off...the guy that has it now still hauls tons of wood with his new flatbed on there.
toyota did some good engineering with that, didn't even have to pull the yokes out of the transfercase.
didn't lose a drop of fluid, now i gatta figure out why it's not staying in 2nd gear, i was kinda thinking it might just be the body lift not letting the shifter move back all the way.

I will go with the previously touched on VW redneck incidents....I have several....lol
I purchased a 64 Karmann Ghia that had a significant rust problem. We took upon ourselves to eliminate much of it by cutting out the bad parts. For lack of a West Coast Metric catalog, I used Real Estate signs to recreate the entire rear passenger side "quarter".
A bit later during my adventures of owning the Ghia, a friend and I decided (while drunk) to drive down to Tallahassee from near Atlanta. Problem was that the generator belt was in very poor shape. With Jose on our side NOTHING was going to stand in our way.
Armed with a large bottle of Crown Royal...having already disposed of a litre of Jose Cuervo...we decided at 10 at night to take off. We got to Americus and had to stop for a new belt, at a closed Auto Parts store. We were drunker than Cooter Brown, and were quickly investigated by the local Sherrif. Seeing that we were completly "S" faced drunk, he was about to lock us up until I showed him this shredded belt. Deciding that we could go nowhere that night even if we had wanted to he let us go with a stern warning. The next day dawns, we get a belt and the old one wouldn't come off....mostly because at that point I didn't understand how the pulley worked. I was soon to find out.
Highway 319 between Americus and Tallahassee is a pretty lonely stretch of road. Nothing but dump trucks going by at 80 and gators. There are actually signs that tell you to stay in the car and wait for help to avoid being eaten. Well the damaged belt broke and takes out the nipple on the fuel pump. The only way I had to fix it was with some solder and a mapp torch I have in the trunk. Oh...I did learn just then about the shimmed pulley on the generator....
So here I am on the side of the road with a fuel pump and a torch trying hard not to blow myself up and stop this leak. I get the thing back together and off we go. Every few miles down the road the mass of solder would spring a leak, raw gas running down to the exhaust would ignite and flames would shoot off the back of the car, letting me know it was time to pull over and add more solder to the ever increasing glob built up around the patched nipple.
Still enjoying the better part of the Crown Royal and having nothing but full bladders to extinguish the flames...well imagine the look you would give seeing two drunk guys pissing on the back of a flaming VW on the side of the road.
Hey Billybob what caliber rifles/handguns do you have?
For rifles we've got 4 .22's, a .223, a 22-250, 20ga, 16ga, and 12ga. The only pistol we've got is my dad's .38. I've never even seen him shoot it in all my life.
I'm looking to buy a couple cheap .22's just to throw behind the seat of my pickups. Maybe another 20ga for pigeons, squirrels, and other pesky critters. Someday I'll pick up a .22 LR handgun too just for the hell of it. Seems like all my play money goes toward my vehicle projects though! Oh and we just bought a house and we're remodeling it, so that doesn't help much either.
I need to make my wife get a job so there's more disposable income! LOL
the worst i got is the back drivers side wheel/tire/and drum came off my 73 beattle while i was going about 70 on a major highway.
Yup with the vibration of the old bug it had a way with loosening lug nuts.
Same Ghia as above.....me and a buddy are kicking down the road and the front tire came off. With the motor in the back and going up a hill it took me about 15 good seconds to figure out that it WAS in reality my front tire.
