I always really liked these and I can't find a proper rep with the right arms and temples

he really seems like a perfect fit for the role even though Azuma said there will never be an anime adaptation. he could be like "ey its a-me, Yotsuba"

(only rules I'm gonna say is "no gen-1 Mustangs" and "1994 or before" because that's when the new-car chapters take place)

I feel like a lot of people don't care for the 1976 Cobra Mustang II she gets after the GT500 got destroyed, and I'm definitely one of those people. Even if it's tuned and very far from stock, the Mustang II still has this kind of stench of anti-charisma that puts it closer to The Dude's trashed Torino in The Big Lebowski than to the idolized muscle cars of the 60s glory-days.

My pick is a bit of a weird one: the 1973 Grand Am with the 455 and 4-speed. Is it as maneuverable as a GT500?....

no.

But it's probably one of the few cars that didn't get wrecked by 1973 and one of the last times you could get a big-block engine in something that wasn't a boat or pickup truck. Its 255-horse rating does seem low compared to the GT500, but remember that's a net rating and the GT500 has a gross rating at 350 (its net rating is something like 275). That Grand Am rating is also for a completely stock car, so you absolutely have headroom to get some very easy extra horses out of that 455 (better headers, cam, intake, etc, all very available in the early 90s). The 0-60 times also aren't that bad: about 7.5 secs for the 455 (stock) vs the GT500's ~6-6.5.

It's also heavier, but considering the amount of... vehicular combat that Rally goes through, body-on-frame might not necessarily be a bad thing. The Grand Am also got special suspension tuning that nothing else at GM got aside from certain Monte Carlos.

so that's my pick, I want to know you peoples' picks

These were the first modern aviators, from WWII. American Optical still makes them (sometimes they're called the "Hazemaster"). I always liked these and I want to know where I could find a rep or lookalike.

The AN6351 was essentially the first modern pair of aviator sunglasses, originally used in WW2, and I really like the look of them. American Optical did a limited edition version a while back but I can't find any other place that sells them so I'm looking on DHGate now

It's that little crumpled bit on top of the 3 on the date wheel. I unfortunately don't have better pictures because it flew into my carpet about 15 seconds after I took this one.

I'm new to all this and I've never fiddled with 2824 stuff, so I don't exactly know what this is and if I should be worried.

I was recently given an Orient Triton which underwent the dreaded crown detachment issue a few years ago. Orient doesn't seem to sell new parts so I'm here to ask where I could find a 40N52 stem and if anyone has made a beefier replacement which isn't as susceptible to snapping like dried spaghetti.
