Digging the Zombie Outpost. Hope it's not windy out there.

Lookie there, I'm on every one of those pages!

No pictures of me hauling cars with the motorcycle though. Done that a few times. Or the time I brought a shed home on the roof of a CRX.

I'm glad there's no pictures of me hauling 3 4'x8' sheets of plywood in my 944. I think there's still a flat spot on the top of my head from that.

I have SO MANY pics I could submit to that site!

None of me on the front page but I'm still browsing...

BTW I really like that zombie scouting post and Alternative Bomb Shelter!

I need to find the picture of the roadside cold air intake we made for one of the BABE cars this year. Turns out their intak and filter were missing and the MAF was just sitting there sucking up air from the hottest part of the engine, it struggled to move uphil. Aluminum tape, 2 soda bottles and some gorilla tape later and viola, cold air intake and greatly improved performance!

unless you count a 2x4 bumper on the front of one of my bugs... I usually do not do such jerryrigs... this is not to say I have not done it, but I do not leave them on for longer than necessary

Those jeep guys and their chip cans...at least they didn't use it for the exhaust.

It would be neat to see some of the more creative GRM solutions posted up. Can anyone out there top the Pringles Cold air intake ?

That was pure BABE genius!

Figuring out the problem and putting some pieces together

In progress:

Done! Type-MTR FTW!

I give it 92.7 out of 100. If you only used a Cheetos bag for insulation...

Wow!! I'm glad no one had a camera around when I was feeling "creative"

I have two hose clamps holding up my exhaust thay may have been liberated from a traffic signal post.

My 328i had a c-clamp pretending to be a muffler hanger for at least 6 months last year, until it failed state inspection. My Miata currently has a keyring I cut in half with a pair of pliers serving as the circlip on the left axle stubshaft.
