Boyo in the Old Country, Part 4: Boyo Goes Home
Baz spent the rest of his Sicily trip exploring Ortigia and its surroundings. Here’s a city park feat. random Greek temple ruins.
Also feat. this bus. Volkswagen, 1979, Groovy Tiger—lovely.
The absolute highlight of Baz’s trip was the Neapolis Archaeological Park on the outskirts of Siracusa. Here he is in the Ear of Dionysus, which was one of the coolest things he’s ever seen.
Baz would have liked to visually convey the magic of the space. However, he surprised himself (but no one else) by being such an unhinged frothing-at-the-mouth Indiana Jones fan that he got overexcited and forgot to take any more pictures. You’ll just have to imagine it.
Baz capped off his trip by watching the sun set over Siracusa harbor.
Then paying one last visit to his favorite Ortigian.
Ciao, bello.

#skippy shut up#if anyone wants to talk cars my specs are -#$10k or lower#100k miles or lower#2015 or newer#japanese but not hyundai or nissan#volvos and volkwagens are also considered but volvos specifically are for when im older and can afford their repairs#hatchback wagon or sedan r the other requirements#i want a truck so bad i want a small tiny manual 2001 ford ranger but their gas mileage sucks and i am a Person Who Drives#i also wish that like. old body styles were still around bc like. i luv me an old outback or cr-v or 4runner but the new ones for all of#those are Just Suvs. if you get a suv you want a MINIVAN theyre more practical and get better gas and will last longer. but no#ideally i also want a 89 suzuki samurai or a 94 geo tracker or! a 2007ish mitsubishi eclipse#Or. Obviously Because I'm Gay I Want An Old Miata. or a new civic i love the new bodies on them theyre tacky but at least they're unique#i would love a veloster but nissians are just too easy to break into. same w hyundai and kia like it's so cool that they have unique bodies#but theyre Bad. and they Suck. and like every brand sucks but like. id love to be a dickhead with an old beater and caseswap it to hell#i want a SLEEPER! i want to pull up at a red light next to a wrx and SMOKE it. the uglier or the more unexpected the car the better#my old car was like that but then we got a Record Breaking Flash Flood! there was not a single fucking issue w my last car#and we'd had it for 12 years in the family#and it broke down Once but didnt even break down bc it was just my transfer case#but it was a very unique model of ford and like. 1 i am never getting another ford unless its a 2001 ranger#2. i genuinely have never seen another type of that model#3. it got like 5mpg above what it was supposed to get which was esp crazy bc it was an awd#idk i miss my car. there was not a damn thing wrong with it. but its a 2007 200k miles and getting the engine replaced wouldnt be worth#which! sucks. so bad so hardcore i miss my car so much there will never be another one like her#anyways. those r my search perimeters if anyone sees anything good in the entire United States of America#i value gas mileage over speed but. damn it would be nice to get some Speed.

We performed a brake fluid exchange on a Ford F-150 this afternoon.
A lot of moisture was found in the braking system. Moisture can eventually cause corrosion buildup on parts.
By performing regular brake fluid flushes, our technicians are able to get rid of any moisture in the system and help components last as long as possible.

Help an african/latina nonbinary transfemme achieve her dream
Ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted a 2 door coupé with a performance engine. Me and my brother both developed an appreciation for cars and this led me to be an excellent car handler and driver (and led him to 4 or 5 car accidents in as many years) but unfortunately to this day I don't have my own car to redline the RPMs on through the empty highways in the middle of the night and race against the local octane freaks... If all of my followers give me just 5 US dollars I could get an older model Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro or maybe even a Dodge Charger. If all my followers gave me 10 USD well maybe I could even get a slightly newer Jaguar F-TYPE or a Hellcat ... Please I can't live like this anymore I'll even sacrifice performance at this point but at least I need a Mazda Miata MX-5 for the fun ride and gas mileage...
Peace and love on earth... and on the roads as well. Please reblog 🙏🚘🏁

Mustang Or Me — Jack Hughes
Summary; you and Jack break up and you head back home.
Content Warnings; angst, breakup, based on ‘mustang or me’ by megan moroney
I packed up my two-door Ford. He don’t love me anymore.
You stare at Jack defeatedly as you stood in the kitchen of your shared apartment , “So you just don’t love me anymore? After 2 and a half years of this you just stop?” Jack looked at you with a sad look on his face, “I’m sorry. God you don’t know how sorry I am.” You shook your head, “Don’t worry about it Jack. I’m gonna pack my stuff and drive back to Pittsburgh.”
Within an hour and a half the past two years of your life were packed up in a boxes in your old beat down mustang. You smiled sadly as you hugged Luke warmly, “Call me man. I’m gonna miss you.” Luke nodded as he hugged you, “I really wanted you to be my sister.” You hugged him back as you stayed silent. You got in your car and dialed your moms phone number, “Hi mommy. Yeah. I’m okay. I’m just coming home. For good. Okay.”
I cursed his name down 65. Need new brakes and new tires. Hell I’m tired.
You groaned as your car drifted slightly into the right lane of the road, “Damn it Jack!” You smacked the steering wheel as you forced the wheel straight. Jack had been on your ass about getting new tires, kept saying it was dangerous that your car drifted because of the cars. You knew he was right but you were too stubborn to listen to him, and you were currently wishing you did.
You also needed new brakes and you had been meaning to get them changed. You had just been so tired lately. You hated fighting with Jack because it made you just so drained and tired. You were just tired of it all. The drama, the stupid fights and feeling invalidated. You were just so tired.
Two years down the drain, two hundred thousand on the gauge.
You sighed as you continued your drive out of Jersey. The ‘Welcome To Delaware’ sign felt like a slap to the face. In the two years you’d been with Jack you saw that sign a handful of times. You two had taken a handful of weekend trips to a ski lodge in upstate Delaware. Two years of your life down the drain haunted you. Almost at much as your car mileage. Two hundred and fifty thousand miles. You shook your head as you were left in silence of your thoughts and the cars passing you.
A broken tail light, a broken heart. How’d we even get this far.
You hadn’t realized how far you had gotten until you saw the flashing red and blue light behind you. You pulled to the side of the dark country road as a police officer approached your vehicle. The man seemed to notice you were on the brink of breaking down, “Good evening ma’am. Do you know why I stopped you?” You tan a hand over your face, “No I’m sorry. I don’t even know where I am honestly. I’m heading to Pittsburgh.” The man nodded, “ You’re in Port Royal Virgina. A little out from Fredicksburg. You have a broken taillight that’s why I pulled you over.”
You sighed sadly, “I’m sorry officer. How much is my ticket?” The officer’s face softened as he took in your current state, “Don’t worry about it. Just get to Pittsburgh safely honey.” You sighed sadly as he walked away, your chest aching like someone had yanked your heart out of your chest.
I’m fighting back tears running on E. Who’s gonna break down first? This mustang or me.
You continued your drive and groaned as you saw the gas tank was hovering on the empty line. It was inevitable that your car would break down. You just hoped it would hold out until Pittsburgh.
A stranger asked if I was okay. Laughed it off said no what gave it away? Was it the leaking oil or the loneliness on my face.
You entered some gas station in the middle of a tiny town in Virginia. You grabbed a energy drink and a bag of chips before heading to the line. An older lady in front of you frowned at your sad expression, “Honey are you okay?” You shook your head with a small laugh, “No, how could you tell?” The woman smiled softly, “You look like you haven’t slept in weeks.” You smiled sadly, “Just moving home after a breakup.” The woman smiled and hugged you softly, “I’m sorry honey.”
I thought I was gonna make it home,but I heard our song on the radio.
You shook the memory of Jack out of your head as you turned up the radio as loud as possible. You hummed along as ‘Fast Car’ by Tracy Chapman was playing. Your head was finally cleared when the song concluded and the next song played.
Who’s if gonna be? I’d put all my money on me.
You pulled your car to the shoulder of the interstate. shutting it off as sobs wracked through your body. You hadn’t cried about the relationship ending until now. You weren’t naïve in any way but you had always thought you and Jack would be together forever. You didn’t anticipate a breakup or Jack losing feelings for you.

Custom 1953 Muntz Jet Convertible
This 1953 Muntz Jet convertible underwent a three-year custom build under previous ownership, and it was purchased by the seller in 2021. The car is powered by a fuel-injected 5.7-liter LT1 V8 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9″ rear end, and it is finished in Apple Pearl with a white Carson-style removable top over gray snakeskin-style Naugahyde upholstery. Features include custom bodywork, an Art Morrison frame, power-assisted steering, four-wheel disc brakes, airbag suspension, Painless Performance wiring, and more modified and fabricated details. This custom-built Muntz is now offered with a copy of Rodder’s Journal magazine featuring a story on the build and a clean California title in the name of the seller’s business.
Custom 1953 Muntz Jet Convertible
The steel, aluminum, and fiberglass body is mounted on an Art Morrison ladder frame that was boxed and finished in semi-gloss black, and the floor was raised 3″. The exterior was repainted in a Sherwin Williams two-stage Apple Pearl mixed by the late Stan Betz. Features include a chopped Duvall-style windshield, 1950 Chevrolet headlights, dual Appleton spotlights, 1951 Ford Victoria side windows, and a white removable Carson-style top fabricated to match the height of the chopped windshield. Additional equipment includes color-matched rear fender skirts and chrome bumpers. Wear from fitting the top is noted on the rear deck.
Custom 1953 Muntz Jet Convertible
Steel wheels sourced from a 1976 Dodge measure 15″ and are mounted with Cadillac Sombrero-style covers and whitewall tires. A matching spare fitted with a BFGoodrich Silvertown tire is mounted within a rear-mounted Continental-style chrome carrier. A Mustang II front end accommodates power rack-and-pinion steering , and the car rides on an electronically-adjustable Air Ride Technologies airbag suspension system along with 2” lowered front spindles, Strange Engineering tube shocks, a rear Panhard bar, and front and rear sway bars. The seller reports that the front control arm bushings were recently replaced.
Custom 1953 Muntz Jet Convertible
Custom 1953 Muntz Jet Convertible
Braking is handled by GM G-body-sourced calipers matched with Ford Granada discs up front and Ford SVO-specification calipers and discs at the rear.
Custom 1953 Muntz Jet Convertible
The cabin was customized by Jim’s Auto Trim of San Diego, California, and features Glide bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in gray snakeskin-style Naugahyde upholstery, along with matching treatments for the dash trim, headliner, and door panels. Additional equipment includes a 1952 Lincoln steering wheel mounted to a shortened Lincoln steering column, gray cut-pile carpet, and a Pioneer stereo housed within a custom center cubby.
The engine-turned “Hollywood” instrument cluster houses Stewart Warner gauges consisting of an 8k-rpm tachometer, a 160-mph speedometer, and auxiliary readings for fuel level, battery charge, oil pressure, and water temperature. The five-digit odometer displays 25k miles, though total chassis mileage is unknown. A Lokar pedal assembly was fitted during the build.
Custom 1953 Muntz Jet Convertible
The Corvette-sourced 5.7-liter LT1 V8 features a polished fuel intake manifold along with billet aluminum valve covers, and additional features include an Opti-Spark distributor, a Griffin aluminum radiator, and a wiring loom sourced from Painless Performance Wiring. A set of long-tube headers are connected to a 2.5″ exhaust system equipped with dual Dynaflow mufflers. The seller reports that the oil was recently changed.
Custom 1953 Muntz Jet Convertible
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed 4L60E automatic transmission and a Ford 9″ rear end with with 3.55:1 gears and Strange Engineering 31-spline axles. Additional photos of the underside, drivetrain, and suspension components are presented in the gallery below.
Custom 1953 Muntz Jet Convertible
The car was featured in issue #36 of Rodders Journal magazine

WIBTA if I asked for money instead of a car? (This one is low-stakes)
🚙💨
I have a car that I really, really love. A 2006 Ford Fusion. It's not a cool car, it's not fast and shiny, but it is my very first car and I love it. I've had my first taste of freedom in that car, I've cried in that car, brought my late cat to her final vet appointments... And it always starts right up for me.
However, it will need some work done in the upcoming year. New battery, new fuse balls, new timing belt... This will be close to 1000 euros within a year from now, and I already spent 600 last month just to keep it going. And that's on top of the running costs of heavyweight car tax, as well as the higher cost of the more high-quality gas my older car needs.
My parents are getting a new electric car and have offered their Hyundai i20 to me for free. (For free!) I'm incredibly grateful of course but I am finding it very hard to sell my own car.
Relevant: due to illness, my financial future is uncertain and the smaller Hyundai with better gas mileage and lower weight tax would be beneficial. It is also great to pocket the sales cost of my Ford. This is the reason my parents offered me their car.
My parents are financially secure, but they are not wealthy by any means and will probably have a hefty mortgage until they die.
I also used to complain about my Ford because the cabin filter didn't work and so driving around in it gave me migraines (inhaling highway car exhaust is bad for you). But I recently found that replacing the cabin filter is doable. Also, I can in fact use the cheaper gas in my car so maybe the mileage cost isn't THAT bad.
Tumblr, would I be a total asshole if I asked my parents for the money they got out of selling their Hyundai instead of the car itself? Like, hey thanks for offering me your car but I'd rather have the cash? I feel like it would be rude, but they are offering it to me for free anyway so financially it will make no difference to them, and I will get to keep my beloved Fusion.

[ENG SUB]: JokerOutSubs x RADIOaktivno collab: Joker Out - Gola
Audio + CC link here
To celebrate 5 years since the release of 'Gola', we translated this piece from that time. Once again, heartfelt thanks to Boštjan Najžar from RADIOaktivno podcast (Facebook, YouTube), for collaborating with us once again. Check out our previous collaborations with him, such as 'Umazane misli' and 'Demoni' album presentations, as well as the 'Šta bih ja' single presentation.
Credits: Transcript and translation by @chaosofsmarty, review by @weolucbasu, proofread by @flowerlotus8 and IG gboleyn123, subtitles by a member of JokerOutSubs.
Transcript below the cut 👇
'Omamljeno telo'
Host: 'Omamljeno telo', by the band Joker Out, on the show RADIOAktivno, Bojan is with me. Hello!
Bojan: Hello! Hi!
Bojan, three years on the music scene, three singles.
Bojan: Yes. The number isn't very high yet, I'll say, but given the fact we've had a half a year long creative break, it's not that bad either. With this new single now, 'Gola', we're sort of announcing a great beginning to our new story.
You've gained a fair amount of stage mileage in that time.
Bojan: Yes, that's true. Given that we didn't record much, we've played a lot more because of that, we actually played all over Slovenia. We played quite a lot of big stages, we were the opening act for the biggest bands, so we're pretty happy with that.
Now that you've gained stage mileage, will it be any easier in the studio?
Bojan: Yes, it's definitely easier in the studio. Somewhat more important than the mileage is the fact that everyone has developed a certain sound as an individual, and the feeling that we then chase in the studio itself, and each one individually gives their own flavour to our music, to create this one special whole.
Are you also announcing a debut for next year?
Bojan: Yes, that's true. Next spring, our first album will be released.
The current single, titled 'Gola', will certainly be a part of it.
Bojan: That's right.
And it's a modern rock song.
Bojan: Yes, a modern rock song. Compared to 'Omamljeno telo', which we listened to earlier, it's a little less rock'n'roll-oriented. We kind of tried to modernise our music a little bit more, however, it's true that a more modern approach is also what we've grown into right now, and it's what suits us.
Maybe a few more electronic rhythms as well?
Bojan: Yes, we decided on, I'd say, a disco groove, but in fact, the decision wasn't forced, it came very naturally with the song, I'd say.
You've also made a music video for the song?
Bojan: That's right, for the video, we decided to go all in, all or nothing, we chose a phenomenal producer, Mark Pirc, who understood our story very well, identified with us, and I think he showed that very well in the video, because it's really at a high, high level and we couldn't be more satisfied.
Which of you five still knows how to drive a Ford Taunus?
Bojan: Yes, we'd all like to drive a Ford, but right now we're riding bicycles more. Because it's already an old-timer.
It's already an old-timer, yes. Listeners can also watch the video on YouTube. This conversation will also move there soon, but now we'll play the song on air, so Bojan, the mic is yours to send her on her way.
Bojan: Yes, so, 'Gola' is our latest single, the beginning of our musical journey, our musical vision. I hope you like it, and if you do, follow it up by viewing it on YouTube, on streaming platforms, and hopefully I'll definitely see you at one of our concerts.
'Gola'

You can say a lot of bad things about the humble postal system. It’s slow, it’s expensive, and the folks who work hard to make sure you get your bills and junk mail could be a little more chipper about it. Watch your tongue, though, because the postal system does something truly glorious: it provides insanely clapped-out, mega-mileage postal vans at auction.
That’s right. Targeted for criticism by a variety of bad actors, miscreants, contrarians, and folks grumpy that they didn’t get what they wanted in life, the government is forced to sell off perfectly good vehicles just because they’re a little unsafe, in the hopes of recouping some money that they can then spend on new, soulless postal vans. Every farmer for miles around probably has one or two of these things in their back forty. This is because even after the ancient parcel vans of my youth stopped being useful for luxuries like “providing heat,” you can still throw a pregnant sheep in the back, full-throttle that shit all the way to the property line, and be pretty sure that it will make the return trip even if you haven’t changed the oil since Mulroney.
Part of this is because these vehicles are supremely engineered for their purpose. Like sharks, they have exactly the ideal parts required for the job they are meant to do, and no luxuries like air conditioning, seven-speaker surround sound stereos, ABS, or chairs with padding. Sure, they devour fuel, but that’s what you get when you use technology from the Bronze Age to develop an engine that wears like the mountains. Where did such a glorious piece of lost technology come from, in our current era where smartphones last twelve minutes and brand-new microwaves come with a sticker telling you what number to phone in order to safely recycle them?
Once upon a time, the government used to have demands of the manufacturers from which they were ordering several million vans. They could insist that these vans run forever, never need to be maintained, and double as cover in the event of a semi-automatic gun fight. It would cost a little bit extra, this overbuilding, but this was justifiable: we are the government, after all, and if we didn’t ask them to do their job, they’d just rip us off. Now, not so much. In the pursuit of business efficiency, the government just treats themselves as another boring consumer. Buy the same Ford Transit or German-made electric conversion van as everyone else. Did it break down because it’s not meant to be driven one point eight million kilometers in a single year by a suicidal Newfoundlander who doesn’t understand enough English to comprehend the concept of “keep the engine below 9,000 rpm?” Buy another.
There’s still time left to get a van like this of your very own. Together, we will hold onto these glorious artifacts of a bygone era, and ideally take them down to the track together. Won’t the track marshals be pissed when we clock a thirty-six second pass, and stop halfway through to refill the tank.
