“Just because we never came up with anything, [the C7] is getting a bad rap, and it doesn’t deserve it,” he says.

Why exactly did there need to be public use?  The road doesn’t go anywhere.

It doesn’t have the alien ball exhaust anymore, or am I misremembering it?

Yeah, that was the second Jeep one, IIRC, they had to remove the headliner for a recall because the visor lights could short out and catch fire, which led to the second recall.

I fell asleep at the drive-ins watching 5, I don’t even remember what 4 was about, but holy shit, is that what they’re doing in F&F these days?

There were the Jeeps with the sun visor lights shorting out, and the Ford Trucks with the cruise control module shorting, but those were electrical fires as well.

Iridium’s great for transverse V6s where the second bank is under the intake manifold against the firewall. 

I’m confused how you’re getting a 34:1 CR ratio (and 14:1's already on the high end). Is that what you’re figuring you’d need to get 20% improvement in economy?

Spark plugs have heat ranges, with hotter plugs sometimes being the hot spots that cause detonation.

Maybe next year

They really just added a 4 door option, like the Wrangler.

I mean, fish nets are pretty effective at catching little swimmers. Most indigenous people have been using them for ages.

I had 180 people and we didn’t spend more than $11k all-in.  We did a lot of stuff ourselves and after figuring the per-person cost, it would have been comparable to letting a venue take care of it, but oh well.

Next thing coming up “raising a baby” loan.

That’s a much better idea, but it doesn’t give the irresponsible millennials a free-ride, so nobody’s going to push that option.

I really don’t see how it leaves people out, unless you mean people who don’t go to college, which seems like a weird group to focus on for a bill about student debt.

I think they mean the opposite, like if you have a wallet that gets refilled as you sleep. If you overextend and don’t sleep long enough for it to refill, you’ll have to take out a loan and the interest on the loan is the bad (or an overdraft and fee). But you can sleep longer a few days in a row and build up a bigger…

If you have to travel 600 km and I tell you that you can average 100 km/hour, you don’t need to convert anything to know it’ll take about 6 hours to get there. If you try an 11 mm wrench and it’s too small, are you going to try a 7 mm wrench? 

But he does still have the Cherokee Golden Eagle.

That’s only assuming he could make $100/hr with that time otherwise, which is doubtful.  Even as an Engineer, he wasn’t making $100/hr.
