I think in reality it’s a ND but I voted NP for the effort. Although if I were the owner putting all that effort into it, there’d be a 1500 engine under that ported head.

Whattsamatta, it’s _allowed_ roach parts, not _required_.  It’s fine.  /S

I believe you’re totally right, and I’ll take your advice. We use the grocery store dough balls and I don’t have a complaint about the dough per se, but the pizza itself could be better. I’d rather get carry-out.

Isn’t this something that a normal ~300 HP truck could have done just as well, assuming it had good tires and locking diffs? (which I know isn’t a safe assumption for average 4wd trucks)

My wife was in the market for a small SUV and a friend recommended we consider an Edge. I did, for about 30 minutes. Glad I stopped, for many reasons, now including this one. My wife bought a 2024 CR-V Sport Touring (hybrid) last week.

This is a parts car, and an overpriced one.  ND.  I’ve always been fascinated by the Nash 4+3, from afar.  Never driven or worked on one.  

I can’t believe it took a designer this long to say the only way to fix the Cyberschmuck is to scrap the design and start over. I said that years ago!  What a joke this thing is.

That jingle that no one can get out of their heads... Is that the one that goes, “Ba, ba, ba, ba, I’m lovin’ it”? Or the “Two all beef patties, special sauce...” etc, one?  I forget.

You kids and your “Boston Market.” I remember when it was “Boston Chicken.”  It was pretty ok back then.

I’ll just do a bumper-to-bumper overhaul on mine @ 500K miles. 2018 SE, 74K miles now. First new car I ever bought, @ 51 years old. I hope it’s the last car I buy, though old age may eventually prevent me from doing my own work, which changes the math dramatically.

This is why they say, “if you can’t eat the food, don’t do the fraud,” or something like that.  Didn’t that asshole rump rioter shaman get vegan food?

Yup. First they need to come up with a way to deplane (I can’t believe I used that word) the passengers, then the fine should be $4.1M per incident.

Limit the engines to 5.0L and 7000 RPM.

I don’t _make_ soda cans, but I do put soda in them. Well, not me personally, I just take the soda out, but right down the hall is where they put it in. Anyway, pretty shocked if the cans have 9 micron tolerance...

Audiobooks are the only ones I “read” anymore. I forgot to bring my earbuds to work today, left them on the charger, which pisses me right off. And fuck Apple for deleting the 3.5mm jack.  I will check out Hyperion as soon as I finish Scalzi’s Last Emperox trilogy.  Listened to Ian McDonald’s Brasyl last week, not…

Wow, 74 US cents per CAD. 

Have you had a big crash in exchange rates or a tax spike in that interval?

Asterix - every dealer and car model is different, but...

I wouldn’t rule it out yet.

I cannot think of a less comfortable-looking place to sit than the seat of a Ducati 900. I simply must try one someday, to truly learn how it feels.
