An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Velour seats or vinyl ?

That's what always makes it or breaks it for me.

Damn, I miss velour car seats.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 57 minutes ago)

The dash is vinyl but the seats are actually leather you can tell

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Oh man, my grandparents had a maroon/maroon interior ("leather") of this car and I've had dreams of discovering that I somehow own it.

When I was like 17 my van was out of service for a few weeks and my grandparents lent me this car for a week when they were out of town. I listed exclusively to the hip hop station that week and forgot to reset the dial before giving it back to them. My grandfather had questions about what I'd done lol

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

That's sweet, the burgundy looks so good!

[–] HarneyToker@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Don’t let c/fuckcars see this, you’re basically the antichrist.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I blocked that community 😂

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 40 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

Look how clean the inside is

[–] manmachine@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Still can’t understand why they stopped making interiors in nice colors, looks so much better than the modern sea of gray

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Couldn't agree more. Cars today are real samey and that's not really my vibe

[–] Betterthanlast@mstdn.social 16 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

@bizzle oh man! Just looking at the pictures is bringing back the smell, the sound the locks make, the feeling of pulling to open the door, the slight vibration when you accelerate. Love this! Have fun with this project!

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

New car smell is overrated, old car smell is where it's at

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Car driven by old people smell. :)

I think my grandparents had a very similar car (like the ‘88 or ‘89 model).

It's glorious

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

GM still using that 1960's sweep speedometer. It's what the old folks in the 90's were used to, I guess. Haha

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I think the speedometer slaps, the 93 that I'm using as a parts car has a digital dash and I hate it. "Ain't broke, don't fix it" feel me?

[–] Sasquatch@lemmy.ml 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

if you need another '93 deville parts car lmk mine is 🤏 this close to running but I cant source a piece of the coolant line🥴.

Also, probs need to be <4 states away

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

If you take a picture of where it goes I can yank the one off my parts car and mail it to you, get yours on the road

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 3 points 16 hours ago

Uggh, I despise digital dash.

I don't hate the sweep, I just recognize it as what GM has used since the 60's. More of an interesting aside, kind of surprised me they retained it for so long.

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Check the break lines and the power steering cooler loop. That is what killed mine. Good luck!

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Break lines are good I haven't checked that cooler loop though thanks for the heads up

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Looks beautiful I have a question I haven't thought to research yet but what work would be involved to retrofit electric in a car like this or is it even feasible given th weight of these old cars?

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

I think there are guys working on an electric crate motor, I reckon I could jam a bunch of batteries in the trunk but then where would my 4x15s go

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

But how will all the data mongers track your every movement, sound, weight, and gender?!?!

Won’t anybody think of the poor data mongers?!!

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Not to worry, I'm also driving a modern f150 for work

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 13 hours ago

wew, I was worried that 172 random companies in Asia might not have access to your fartijg habits

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

That's why I drive with my phone everywhere.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 10 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Underappreciated survivor ! Rides like a boat I bet!

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Sure is and sure does! I love these old caddies man. This is like my fourth one. I had a 99. I had a 93. I had a 92 and now I got a 90. Can't get enough of these old caddies bro. They're so good

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Good in what ways? Genuinely interested.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The styling fucks hard which I really appreciate. They're also really big on the inside, everyone has leg room. The bench seat means I can put an arm around the ol' lady while we cruise down to the malt shop on the pillowy suspension. They're not super rare yet, which means I can get this example for $3000, but they're not super common either so it really turns heads. It will never track me because it can't, idk if you remember 90s technology but the 5g enabled surveillance state was science fiction back then. Most importantly, driving it makes you feel like you have two dicks (even if you start with no dicks at all).

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

What kind of mileage do you get?

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

I'm averaging 25 which kicks the shit out of my truck

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I so love those years of Cadillac, reminds me of being a kid

But the color reminds me of:

"Oh, yeah? I only see one LeBaron, Freddy."

"I don't see two LeBarons."

[–] Hypnotoad_@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Daddy would you like some sausage

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'm under water, and I found a treasure!

I so miss Rip Torn, guy is a comedy genius.

Dodgeball we was a riot!

If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.

Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine?

Peter La Fleur: “Probably not.”

“No, but I do it anyway because it’s sterile and I like the taste.

Killed by 1500lbs of irony...

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 4 points 18 hours ago

We had one of these. Get rid of the aluminum block engine, whatever that is, and put in an LS or something better. Really makes it a different car.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I’ve always loved older cars, especially that style, and would love to have a project car. Unfortunately I know nothing about cars except how to drive them. My buddy’s a mechanic so I could always ask him for help I suppose but I don’t think it’s a good idea to get started on a project car if you’re a complete novice.

[–] Sasquatch@lemmy.ml 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

cars are kinda hard to get into nowadays. New ones aren't fixable like old ones are.

If you have the spare dough for an old 90's (maybe early 00's), that's probably your best way to learn.

Also very important for me. Older cars had purchasable repair manuals. Big fat book with diagnostic steps for every system on the car. That book for my old car is the bible.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Good to know. Thanks for the info!

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Why does that thing remind me of the Zimmer Quicksilver? I guess the body lines are similar.

Nice car. Both I mean.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 0 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

You're gonna lift it and put on a set of 24s with spinning rims, right?

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I had chrome dubs on my 99 check it out. Unfortunately the Midwest potholes are not good for those skinny ass rubber band tires so I broke two of them after like 6 months and decided I would never run skinny little tires again 😂

[–] mbp@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Hell yeah, brother

That's sick as hell

Edit: those dice complete the look

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

The dice have been on all my cars ever but now I have two so they're in the truck 😂 worry not I have a blue set in the mail for the '90

[–] tgcoldrockn@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

with a lucky charms or count chocula airbrush or wrap

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

NGL I look at those cars and while I dont want one. Im happy someone does, there isnt enough joy in the world.
