As a Canadian I say “Bring it.” If that orange bloviating idiot is going to tear up the free trade agreement, fuck the US. We have the capability to sell crude and petrochemicals to lots of other countries. 

Sure thing Donald. Go ahead, hit us with 25% tariffs. We can shut off the freshwater supply to the Northern States, shut off the flow of crude down Base Keystone, and shut off the flow of softwood lumber. See, you’re not as independent as you think you are. Water aside, there are lots of other countries willing to…

Yes, this is a great deal. Spin scooters are damn-near bulletproof. The speed is good enough that it’s faster than walking but not so fast that you’ll be a hazard. This is a good buy.

Yep. Museums de-accession parts of their collections all the time. This would likely have been done with Mercedes’ blessing; although that’s not always required.

There has always been a small-motor Mustang. Even in 1964/65 the base Mustang had a straight 6 instead of a V8.

The point is that 30 years ago (and maybe you’re not old enough to appreciate this - I don’t mean any disrespect by that, I’m old) we freaked out over a passenger car with 400hp. Today, it’s commonplace. Ergo, quaint.

These sucked ass.

I think you’re missing my point. Yes, this is a good price for a 400hp crate motor. That’s not the point. The point is that 30 years ago we were all agog over an 8L V10 cranking out 400hp in the then-new Viper. It was an insane amount of power in a reasonably accessible vehicle.

Did you manage to get (or give) a purple nurple?

It’s funny how our expectations change. In this era of Hellcat motors putting out 700+hp, getting only 400hp from an 8L V10 seems almost quaint.

Or, hear me out, just forgo this entire box of nightmares and let Stellantis die already.

The rear wall folding down is as much nonsense now, as it was when the Avalanche came out. The idea that you should share your safety cage with the load in your truck bed, is idiocy.

Haolong must we sing this song...

At first I thought “that seems reasonable”, then I saw it was a Ford. The coil packs on my Tundra run $600 at Rock Auto all on their own. I could see a mechanic hitting $1300 on my truck for that work once labour is factored in. Fortunately, all of that is within my abilities. Still, I’d be sitting at $750-$800 in…

Friends took their motorhome in for service. A shop tech was put in charge of doing the oil change. They put the RV on a lift, drained the oil, put the plug back in, installed a new filter, and lowered the lift. They then told the shop manager the oil change was done.

All day and twice on Sundays. This is a great deal on a survivor car, owned by someone who cared. There will be a couple of electrical gremlins, but the owner has probably sorted them over time. The wiring for the overdrive switch can go sideways, and the wiring between the ignition switch and starter motor can be…

Amazing album. The video for Since I Left You just makes me smile. It’s so joyful, and the end is just lovely.

Amber! Sick song. This song pulls at my heartstrings. It was used as the music for one of the all-time great ski movies. Tom Wallisch made Imagination as an homage to and in memory of JP Auclair. The town in the movie is Nelson, BC and there’s a sweet wood-panel Wagoneer featured.

It’s wild animal, not a child. You are not its mother. You know how I know that. 1. Monkey moms are fucking awesome. They protect their offspring, teach them how to survive in the wild, feed them, clean them... monkey mom shit. and 2. You’re not a fucking monkey.
