Kinja'd!!!

Drinking a not very good beer, working on an unpopular and obscure car. I start night shift tomorrow... Must. Stay. Awake.

Also: the Studebaker has 2 each wheels installed... That’s a lot closer to being off the jack stands than its been in months!

Since when did PBR become hipster? That would be like leisure suits coming back in style.

Been to the Studebaker museum in South Bend. They have the goods. Should have bought a sweatshirt ...

Oh jeez. I don’t know why I should be surprised. Another case of a group outsmarting itself and then patting itself on the back for it.

I will say, as a connoisseur of shitty beers, that PBR ain’t half bad. Much better than Coors Light and Bud. A good alternative to High Life if you’re not in the mood for something sweet. Of course I’ll gladly down a 40 of Mickeys or Hurricane if the mood strikes.

It just is somehow, why do they all have beards and lumberjack clothes? I see groups of them standing together in SF and it doesn’t seem like they know they all look the same...

I’d rather have a glass of lukewarm water than just about any mass market lite beer.

They’re all showing a unique personal identity. They’re just doing it together.

It’s on my list. My dad has been several times, I just haven’t had a chance yet!

You can order gear on their website - I haven’t, but I set a bad example. And yeah, an interesting tour of a company that made things for 100 years or so.

And should have asked - is that a Lark? Any photos/videos of what you’ve done to it?

It’s a 1957 President Classic. Other than my occasional oppo posts about it, nope. Mostly because I have no clue how to video, and because I haven’t really done a whole lot with it yet, despite owning it for somewhere around 12 years.

Can’t wait to see it stude and bake on its own.

And it’ll be in a parade before you know it ... and relieved it’s not a Dictator.

A star for the Studebaker. Also, there are a lot of beers worse than PBR.
