“You’re wrong” just means one of us is getting an education shortly, best prepare yourself to tell me what’s right or be told what’s right.

Doip

Especially when it’s something you’ve put way too much energy into researching and can rip their argument to shreds, but they never present one other than “wrong”

Doip

Right? Half the time it’s “oh shit neat I didn’t know that” and the other half it’s “dawg I literally just looked this up for an hour last night and even before then I knew a lot about it, if you’re gonna say I’m wrong you better be ready with sources”

Doip

I dunno, I’m pretty damn autistic and my usual reaction is more of a “lmao no I’m right because I just researched this for an hour last night on top of all the previous times”. After that I’ll go for the checking to make sure I’m right just in case, because the only thing better than being right is learning more to be right more often.

Of course that leads into the NT reply of “you need to be able to admit when you’re wrong” but they only ever apply that when I’m demonstrably right with multiple sources

Doip

Exactly! It’s not that I need to be right, it’s that I am right. I’ve put way too much energy into researching things to be told I’m wrong about something I just verified earlier.

Their only comeback is “you need to be able to admit when you’re wrong” which… I do! It’s just such a rare occasion they just assume it never happens. Unlike them, I don’t speak on things I can’t at the very least have an educated guess on, and even then, why would I take criticism from someone who is actively okay with being wrong consistently?

Doip

Yeah, the whole witchy trend popping up since covid has made it a pretty obvious choice

It has been, my guy

Doip

Looks like that subreddit was right

Doip

Used to do 80 at like 2400 effortlessly. With a 4L60 it'll do like 75-77 so I'm okay with that. An 8HP would do 80 and oddly enough a 60/GV overdrive would be mathematically 2.29 but at the cost of no driveshaft

Doip

I had a "muscle" car with 2.29s. and a 3spd auto

Doip

I just did it to a Monza with a stock 350. Had 2.29s and 175/70R13s, now 4.10s on 255/60R15s

Miiiiiiiight need to swap out the TH350 now, 55 at 4k ish

Doip

Just saw the post. Whaaat the hell

Doip

Question! I just updated to iOS 27 last night and now the app has an AI prompt button under the text box? Whose idea was that

Doip

Oooo now mine has an AI prompt under the text box. Bad!!!

Doip

Physical buttons and how small it is with the light! Seems about perfect for going back to the pre-iPhone 4 era

Doip

original plz

Doip

It's remarkably good for that! Mine shifted beautifully for a car that dyno'd 59.97hp to the wheels and did 74 flat out on level ground.

I just realized I sound like the old guys at morning shows, oof

Doip

One time I had a crowd two rows deep, the only thing that pulled them away was a Spyker pulling in. Amazing how many people have stories about these (the men are the best, it's always sister/gf/aunt/etc.'s car, never theirs)

Doip

Oh my god I’m late as hell but dumb question. I used to have a 74 notch in white about 5 years ago, also with the super shorty e brake console and the red ghia interior. I’m shocked at how nice your dash and console are. How’s your headliner condition?

Including yours I’ve seen 5 total, two each of destroyed headliner perfect consoles and perfect headliner destroyed console (mine was destroyed, little old lady original owner’s elbow rested on it).

I don’t know if it still works but googling Petersen Mustang II should pull up photos of mine from when I posted it on BaT and Barnfinds.

People thought I was crazy asking 7 for a 6 option 4cyl/4spd car* but when I sold it for 4500 the guy sold it the next year for 7 lmao

*ghia interior, am only radio (had the 8 track philco, 74 only from a Lincoln but never did anything with it), side bumpers, bumper overriders, CA emissions, whitewalls

Incredible car, keep it going as long as you can, they’re finally getting respect… although the hecklers are half the fun of it. I had a supermodel tell me she respected me more when I had the II lmao

Doip

Have you seen the F50? It's missing a foot out of the middle and the front lip is massive

Doip

Even ignoring the 40pt, the 4 C500 Toyotas can be done effortlessly by the literal starter car.

Doip

Oh man, I was just thinking yesterday I need to see if I can get my M1 to talk to the StyleWriter I got a bit back. Getting more doable by the day! Hope to find a solution that makes it as reliable as any modern printer (low bar) before I have to DIY but who knows, might do that anyway

Doip

Faster, lighter, WAY more fuel efficient. SBC sounds better than LS but is mogged by SBF anyway, and if you cared about sound you'd have a 454 from a suburban in a junkyard, otherwise it just sounds like a 90s cheyenne with the exhaust rusted off.

Doip

Meanwhile the blower drive rotates backwards and has the same speed no matter how you rev it. Glad they’re investing into the visible details!
