I was wondering about this. Can you mate a traditional tranny to an electric motor? Lower emissions and still row your own? Fuck yes

I feel like Kia to Lexus is more than a “slight” step up. Maybe look at Mazda or a higher trim Honda?

1989 Toyota Pickup. His name was Buddy and he was great. My first manual transmission. Ran to ~250k before the timing belt went and it would have cost more than the car was worth to fix it. 

Would it be possible to mount an electric motor to a standard transmission? Why/why not?

Mac n cheese blog you say? Good bye productive Friday.

Not THE answer, but A answer. 

But did you spend upwards of $9 a sticker on your hydro? I actually looked at the branded stickers the other day to see. Perhaps these girls aren’t either and the company is trying to hurry and get in on the action?

I keep seeing an old turbo diesel, guy works near me I think. It’s beat to hell, but also awesome and smells like french fries.

I test drove a new one with DSG and can confirm it’s a great automatic. It (along with the lack used MT options in my area) almost convinced me to get one, but I hadn’t owned a manual in a long time and missed it so I waited for the MT. No regrets.

Does anyone else feel like there has been an uptick in trolls on here lately?

I watched it and can confirm. 

I didn’t go to UI, but live not far from there. When I was that age you only had to be 19 to go into bars in Iowa City. It was usually easy to mimic the 21+ stamps, or most bartenders didn’t give a shit. Those were some good times, it think, it’s all a bit fuzzy. ALSO, how do you not include this guy’s mugshot in the…

They’re called friends of the road.

My buddy was a security guard for the community college in our city for a couple years. Whenever he was called to bust a party his usual line was “just keep the volume down and let me hit that blunt/bong/joint/appe/etc.”

He should cool it with the stoner stuff. That always makes my stoned-ass paranoid.

1st job at Papa Murphy’s and we would trade with the Subway next door all the time. $10 pizza for like $40 worth of subs.  Of course we’d all find ways to mess orders up as really lame pranks on each other.

I’ve been kicking around the idea of trying to get a part time job at a similar store this winter.

I got to witness an awkward moment of tension at my in-laws this weekend over warming a store-bought pie in the microwave instead of the oven.

My fiancee is the opposite. When she would come see me as I was bartending and order wings I would withhold napkins just to see how messy she would(n’t) get. Never got sauce past the 1st knuckle. I can’t believe she’s marrying me.
