Every one comes with its own cooling tower, looks like a mini nuke plant.

My cousin’s (parked) mustang was smashed by a garbage truck backing up, seen on camera, and the locality blamed him for the accident, and took fighting with insurance to cover it.

Because, parking in a garage, in a marked spot, means you expect to get smashed by a truck at 3 in the morning, right?

None of this surprises me (aside from the manufacturer of the boot hinges...). A few years ago, a friend and I took a 12 hour trip to visit old buddies up near Boston, in NH. Along that run, the alternator in his oil burner passat went poof! and let out the magic smoke (to which they also connect bearings) . No local…

Because everyone in the US thinks a phone is disposable and that an $800 device should really only cost them $50?

That’s not even getting into labor contracts that do not encourage building, only maintaining.

Someone didnt have their meds today.

We care. Thats why our nation has been on the forefront of developing aides and treatments to eliminate those disabilities. There is a reason people come to the US for an education in the medical fields. Its not because of the executive in the whitehouse, and its not because of our…

Also the problem there, as in my former career I did ADA consulting for signage, the industries that are regulated make up the enforcement and are the ones writing the regs. So in signs, its very possible for regulations regarding methods to be written for new ADA guidelines by a group of manufacturers that have just…

I called my local dealership’s service department, looking to get a tire balanced. my local bike shop didnt have an adapter to fit the bike (BMW GS single side swingarm) and thought it was worth a shot. They told me sure, they could do it, after checking with the mechanic on duty.

Drove up, with my daughter, went…

And here is a question for those of you who have or have been in one.. whats the fit and finish like? Typical GM, or does it have the feel of the electric car premium that comes with?

Ive never seen an ad for a Bolt. Only way Iknew they existed was Popular Mechanics (which was technically an ad). Im going to bet that the target demographic for this is not liking the issues one has with a full electric car, with the extra price tag, over a similarly sized car that is decent on gas.

You want to get…

Reminds me of the lawyers who drive around to small businesses and file lawsuits for non-ADA access. My friend is a massage therapist, who has several wheelchair bound clients, and for years when they arrived, they rang the door bell, and he would retrieve the ramp needed to get up the 2 small stairs in the front of…

Maybe the grandfather had the cash to restore it over number of years, but the family that now owns it doesn’t have the cash to carry a high value insurance policy.

They don’t run on it, but we use the oil to power the freighters and mining equipment used to tote the components around the globe. And to lubricate the motors and components, make bits of the paint, composites... etc.

So while there may be a reduction, they arent going anywhere.

Im still hoping for hydrogen.

Those are great bikes, if you like swapping spark plugs with every other fillup.

You never had to tappity tappity tap something to get it shifted just right? Maybe he was moving the steering column, or replacing a faulty wiper stalk, and used a punch to remove the security pin in the torx screw.

Plenty of legit reasons to use a hammer around there.

Part of the problem is liability. One of my most recent visits to pick up sae connectors involved listening to a man try and find a 24" class 3 extension for his hitch, for towing a trailer, so he could do it with the hatch open.

I thought i misheard, till after he left, and asked the clerk. He said yeah, that was…

Isnt enough that the cap is already marked 710?

To be honest, we’ve lost a lot of the people that could sort it out with charts and slide rules, and they never had those people. Its one thing to get a missile to go up in the air, fully another to get it to accurately hit something without being shot down. They could probably hit just about anything at speeds that…

Oh my, I think Ive just been Berned. cant tell... didnt come with regret and a 6 digit pension.

My world is Pennsylvania. Random mass shootings arent happening, nor are bombs going off from quadcopters.

Random rednecks shooting at their home range late at night? Yep. Overgrown fireworks display? Sure.

And mass shootings is a misnomer. We used to call them drivebys, and they are typically relegated to a…

So our local walmart was clearing out model rocket engines.... Hmmm... bet I could bust that 400' ceiling fast.
