Have you visited Houston? I mean, it’s splitting hairs a bit, but still.

Not many blogs, anyways.

Where in Canada did they send you? It’s a big place.

What? His intros are perfect and I will not hear a word of disagreement. Like most of his audience, I need something substantial to read during my morning constitutional.

I have heard this (from Rolls engineers): the RB211 prototype caused the company to split because of bankruptcy from failed testing, but it was single fan blade containment testing that it failed, requiring another engine to be built from scratch and destroyed. Very expensive...and then GE was given a pass on its new…

Remember, we don’t have to trust people when they claim their 12 year old Ferraris have only been driven 216 miles a year. Sure, like this thing has had to fuel up once a year for its entire life. That’s why the carpets look like that.

Haha, Jag is pretty bad at packaging space in car size. My wife’s Legacy has noticeably more room inside than my XJ :-)

I mean, not physically fitting in the car?

A few comments have hit close to home.

General Altimax Arctics are good inexpensive winters for folks on a budget-very much worth a mention.

In Calgary, the first generation Smarts are the only ones that have decent winter tires. The new ones and the Mercs are brutal in the snow.

Occasionally, but generally they can see that the person in front of me isn’t going any faster than me or is even braking, so there isn’t any point. But local traffic is relatively chill.

I intentionally leave big gaps ahead of me in stop-and-go traffic jams. It eases the problem (vehicles undergoing a ‘slinkie’ pattern) and is way, way easier on anyone driving a stick, as a single speed can be maintained longer. As for longer gaps at stoplights, I get harped on about this every time I do the company…

I mean, minimum wage in California is 10.50 an hour, regardless of tips. It comes down to a belief in the right to a livable wage for work. Plenty of folks disagree in the whole premise of minimum wage.

I mean, the heading photo was a tire fire.

Listen, just because they didn’t publish your letter, you don’t have to get snippy.

Can it be fun?

Excellent dive into this-just a little note.

Our reminder that Fancy Kristin is not real Kristin!

Oh, I thought it was the painfully small range. My bad.
