    Is this an old car frame rail? It is about 6-7 feet long and made of iron. It has bolts holding it together I found it in the side of our river bank. It was light enough for me to flip upwards but I would think about roughly 50-75 pounds is the weight (old.reddit.com) [Open]

My house is from 1916 so it could be I’m not really sure what else it could be. Someone had to have thrown it over the bank back then

My title describes the thing I found to my best guess on what it could be. I found an old brake drum to a 30s ford model t buried not far from where I found this sticking out of the river bank.

It was 888 pounds and they carved it for Halloween a few days ago

An update on the humongous pumpkin: they named it Maverick and it is 888 pounds. (I was 204 pounds off on my guess) They also carved it for Halloween

It does look like a wool card but it doesn’t have any teeth and is solid iron

For a collection I would keep it on the lowest os possible because there are a lot less on iOS 12 than the latest version

There are complete strut assemblies online if you wanted to replace them whole instead of taking the old ones apart like these for example https://www.1aauto.com/toyota-rav4-front-driver-and-passenger-side-2-piece-strut-and-spring-assembly-set-trq-sca57189/

Struts are likely worn out after 170k

Instantly reminded me of this scene (I actually saw this episode the other day 😂)

I believe the 16e has the same screen size as the 13 that’s what I would like to get next after my current 13

Are the wipers old? Mine do this when they are old and replacing them gets rid of the streaking. I’d imagine if you’ve cleaned the glass many times the wipers are likely the problem

stormm621

It might be bad then I thought you just had old coolant :(

stormm621

Just looks like filth is in there I would flush the system and replace the coolant

stormm621

Or maybe he saw them on a dump car and only found 12 lugnuts 😂

stormm621

Maybe he got the 16 pack thinking his car was a 4 lug and/or they started flying off on the highway

You had a Lexus and thought: Hmm… a BMW

will be MORE reliable than that Lexus?

I guessed 684 on the raffle thing I’m not sure what it weighs yet

These are more photos of the pumpkin. The dot on the right is a quarter I put on the pumpkin to remember how big it was

This pumpkin was grown locally and they put it out to guess the weight of it for a prize sort of like a raffle

I think it’s just the book with the dumb manny meme photoshopped into the picture to get attention to the book
