Don’t leave us hanging, what actually worked? Where’s the video?!

seems like an odd requirement.

On my closest, I actually made it onto the street adjacent to the gas station I was trying to go for. Here is where I ran out of gas. Trying to make it here. Had to push the car the remaining hundred or so feet uphill to the intersection, but it was downhill to the deserted fuel stop.

with a name like “Jeffro Tull” I would have expected you to get the Zevon reference.

Link for Clinton doesn’t have your quote, but the gist of your point remains.

Iraan, TX. Blowout a tire, spare is flat. Oh, look, I have my bicycle pump with me and it’s only 103 degrees out. This should end well. Good thing it’s not a full spare.

thing I most frequently say to black people: “howdy”

false: cheese goes inside the burger or you’re doing it wrong.

Good point, especially about the wind. I never knew how much cross wind could affect the inside of a convertible ‘till I got one. Think the Arial Atom has good rain protection? ;)

I’m a man, I work, and the only reason I don’t wear shorts is because it’s ~65 in my office all year ‘round. I keep a coat at my desk for the summer.

how slow were you going? I’ve been in some torrential downpours and avoided most of the soaking...until I hit a red light.

Bought one, now the nightmare is riding in cars that aren’t convertibles. Convertibles, not even once (unless you like fun).

haha, fair enough. there are definitely enough people around that I don’t have a big impact...I should really work on that.

well, if you think about how electric engines work, this is closer to how it should have been from the start. If you’re not pushing power into the engine, then the magnets will be generating a current, so this isn’t so much fixing something that isn’t broken as it is providing a means to get closer to the system.

woah, you want commenters to read and comprehend? What is this madness?!?

Sounds like a jerk on a bike. If you’re on the bike, you gotta remember that you’re just a really fast pedestrian...behave accordingly and everything should be fine. Don’t be an ass to people walking, expect cars to fly out of every driveway, and do not expect cars to notice you when you’re not even on the roadway.

Cool, but they actually do ticket cyclists for not obeying the law. Source: I got a ticket for riding on the sidewalk. Didn’t stop me, because I’d rather have a ticket than get run over, but apparently that’s illegal in these parts (Austin, TX).

I know I won’t for so many reasons, but I’m still really drawn to doing this to my S2000...well, not purple, but I’m in for the rest of it.

touche...how about Netflix V. Blockbuster? yeah, I’m going with court sounding names to these showdowns now. Really though, I’m having fun thinking of things that were ‘killer’ before they actualized on that moniker. If I get all the way back to Wu Tang V. Bees, you’ll know I’ve gone too far.
