01/20/2017 at 15:18

yeah, but you could PROBABLY make two rounds with it the way it is locked right now...... probably better to loop a spoke, and catch the brake pedal, or clutch........


Kinja'd!!! CalzoneGolem > Die-Trying
01/20/2017 at 15:20

Kinja'd!!!1

I think you might be overestimating how many times you have to spin the steering wheel to get it to move the wheels but clearly they could have done a much better job locking it up.

Not manual. I actually had it posted too until I realized the post said old/turbo/MANUAL.

Also, specifies CAR. There’s a nice ‘86 F250 plow for sale...

It would make a great rig for rambling around the country.

I live in the Chicago suburbs, but I always leave the “include surrounding areas” checked. Northern Indiana is less than an hour away :)

That’s fantastic. I need it.

Though, I would probably drop the fenders, bumpers, and roof. Maybe it’s better than I don’t have it.

hence part of the reason for ‘nightmare’ in my description (that and references to ‘inexperienced mechanic’ and ‘most of the mistakes’)
