“Don’t be a peasant”.

There needs to be a special place in mechanics hell for Audi engineers.

Worst damn design so far. The yellow lid leaks like a sieve.

Wow! I can not believe the original design could support only 60% of the mandated max load and then the engineers made it worse. To top it off, they placed the load bearing rods at the welds of the beams.

I live in foggy San Francisco smack next to the Great Highway and have lived in Hawaii.

I nominate the new Oakland Bay Bridge.

If a car is exposed to salt laced air coming from the sea, it will rust when the air attacks exposed metal. Definitely not as fast as spreading salt on roads, but it does happen.

Don’t buy the bottled tea. Brew it yourself and pour it into a bottle to take with you. Save some money.

So the politicians care about clean air until it finds a way to line its own pockets? That is a good one.

I doubt the CO2 is from the atmosphere due the quantity needed. It could be some byproduct from oil and gas drilling and refining.

Depends. If you do not sell enough cars or do not spend enough time on the venture, the IRS can consider this a “hobby”. In that case, they want their share of the income, but you lose the ability to deduct associated expenses. Ridiculous.

Hours for yourself do not count unless you were employed by a company as an employee. The business gets the deduction against income. You then pay taxes on those wages on your 1040. So if you make a profit on your sale, you have to declare the gain as income.

Tax laws are not suppose to make sense. They are the product of social engineering, politics, with a hint of pragmatism.

Another reason stealerships are scumbags.

The short answer is technically yes unless it is for a business. Then the exception falls under the IRS code section 1031.

2 part poly bushings are such a timesaver! Some OEM bushings require pressing in with proprietary tools. Hells no!

Anal, are we?

Correction: Toyota wants it future cars to run on farts.

The Akula class sub always frightened me. It makes me think of them as T-Rex with the ability to tip toe behind you and bite your head off. You would not know what happened until your head was going down its throat.

I see your Enzo and raise you a Deadmau5’s McLaren.
