Honestly, I had a lot more fun on the practice/qualifying days than when I actually attended the race. No matter where you sit, you’re only seeing a small fraction of the track anyways, so in many ways the TV viewing experience is superior if you’re actually interested in watching the action. Plus avoiding all the…

Bonus points if you’re a nudist!

Just strap a tent on a plank of plywood?

The part is an Oil Filter. The person who tightened it is the Ol’ Fitler.

The catch to this is that no one is reselling them as cats; imagine those T-tops were made out of solid silver, they aren’t being re-sold, just scrapped. It’s the rare and expensive metals that everyone is after.

I find it sadly predictable that everyone is in favor of sentencing reform, treating juveniles as juveniles, and avoiding punative prison sentences— until it’s someone they don’t like in the news.

You make the assumption your mother was good at managing her time. Many people aren’t.

she’s a school teacher, which is famous for working lots of hours for little pay.

I have a personal hot take on 3rd gear. Here’s the thing with me - I support all the usual Transit Memes for New Urbanist Teens measures. Cities should serve their citizens. Walkability and density should be prioritized over roads and parking. Resources and entertainment should be well-distributed into the urban…

1st gear: It isn’t just truckers that are a problem. A lot of good blue color jobs were dominated by Boomers. Truckers, welders, machinists, electricians, plumbers, etc. The Boomers were (and still are) a HUGE generation. All these Boomers in these jobs drove down the wages for them. What used to be a mid-middle to…

I like a cheese product to go with my beef product. 

The plane was used in the expendable movies and one of characters did the same thing but his case, to shoot and light a pth of gasoline

Back in uni, in me Film & TV unit days, we had this awesome deadpan lecturer, a slightly embittered, chain-smoking lesbian who’d been a veteran of the TV production trenches.

I think the key thing is that back. I have a bad back and it’s no joke to deal with.

Nearly everything on the show is a setup. They have advance people throughout the country, scouring for these “finds”. Everyone is vetted beforehand.

My uncle is actually a “picker” in this line of work, and if you do it with the right person it’s actually kind of fascinating. He can walk into any antique store or garage sale and tell you the age, manufacturer, and actual value of pretty much every item there.

When I think “pickers” I just assume “finger up the nose looking for gold.”

When they showed the picked/sold prices at the end, it never seemed like enough for two guys to live off plus gas/rent and whatever Danielle gets.

In this case, battery degradation is a feature, not a bug. Remember, they aren’t supposed to drive very far. Battery cooling systems are just something to break.

Devious mode engaged: If you could deactivate cylinders through the OBD port, you could advertise the fuel savings. Kinda like a permanent Displacement on Deman kind of thing.
