I test drove a manual crosstrek and it was still slow. 

Clever.

The Ohio/Michigan rivalry goes back a loooong way.

We’re about a day behind you weather wise so expecting it to start Wednesday afternoon/evening. Fortunately, lake Erie is about 90% covered with ice so there shouldn’t be extra lake effect.

its been three weeks

I have an aunt who is about 10 inches shorter than I am. When we were all on vacation, I had to move her X5 to get my car out of the driveway. When I started it up, the memory seat began to slowly crush me like that scene in Star Wars.

They’re even more fun when there’s no assist! 

I still have a 4.0L wrangler but with the 5 speed. The first is a little bit higher but still plenty low. They are great to learn on.

Ignition points, condensers and coils. Gapping the points is a pain in the ass and any little dirtiness on the points can make the car run like shit or start hard in the cold. 

Clicking through, there was quite a bunch of casual racism there with the retractable teepee and the rickshaw car.

In Canada, we just put our trash in a container and send it to the Philippines.

I don’t want my battle robot to run out of juice in the middle of a fight. The only logical solution is a small nuclear reactor.

Yep. You have an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent in close quarters. No external oxidizer (oxygen) needed.

My 4.0L Jeep TJ is also very bad for recommending a shift at glacial RPMs.

Hahaha. Imagine 95 sqft for 7 figures...

I think that they came to the realization that they didn’t NEED to offer the mythical $35k model 3. The idea of it scored political points but any Tesla at that price wouldn’t sell well because Tesla buyers are typically well off enough that they wouldn’t get the base model. 

I think that one issue with the bike market is the lack of a middle ground. There is the ultra low-end WalMart stuff and then the high end ‘local bike shops’. I realize that every shop is different but the ones I have been to seem to scoff at you if you aren’t buying the newest carbon fiber frame and blah blah blah. I

As a professional bicycle mechanic, were you legally obligated to have a man-bun?

Ah, to be young, dumb and showing off for girls. I do wonder what the gals thought watching us do stupid shit. 

Those Schwinns were crazy durable. You can’t break something if you make it out of 100 lbs of heavy gauge steel.
