my 2-stroke equipment will get the expensive ethanol free pre-mixed gas in the can from the hardware/lawn and garden store.

Its basically 50% more corn ethanol being purchased. Its very clear what the farmers are getting

It’s not hidden. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t also a(nother) hidden subsidy/freebie to corn farmers, the same ones who bitch and moan about “welfare”.

Fuck driving race cars, that’s my dream job here. All the fun minus the pressure.

Uh huh. Let’s check the competition.

Tell me you don’t ride bikes without telling me you don’t ride bikes

Modern 975 cc twin should pump out 180HP + at 10K+ RPM

I remember that as well. When the VQ Altima first came out, you could spec it with a 6MT.  An early 2000s family sedan that did 0-60 in 6s was a bit of a revelation at the time.

Someone made this decal in Gran Turismo 7. Now I just gotta put it on the right vehicle

They killed the cruiser AND the neon for it. Coming off the generation of Neon that had the adored (at the time) SRT4. I recall people being pissed.  

Since the Caliber has been mentioned, how about its mechanical cousin, the first gen Jeep Compass.

The Aztek was a masterpiece compared to the sad mashup of the worst designs cues from Mercedes, Jaguar and Lincoln that was the Kia Amanti

I’m wondering if they were military personnel coming back to the US after being stationed in Europe?

Left rear looks 1.5 psi off. Dealership used an Analog gauge.

I was thinking it was a great $7k truck. But in 2022, that’s $9k. None of this really computes for me any more. But since it seems 2022 uses this as currency, I guess NP?

In the “before times” I’d make sure to take at least 2 trips a year solo. I enjoy it. Makes for a great way to meet the people who live wherever and really experience the town. I realize I’m in the small minority, but I highly recommend it. 

When I was around 20 or so, the concept of Classic Rock stations took off where I was living. There were two stations that had been crapping on each other for at least a decade before the format change and the tradition lived on.

None whatsoever. I play with the little ball and then eventually throw it away. I am about to turn 60, and yet I’m just that juvenile.
