I still have the 06 Civic I bought in college. I get asked why I still have it and the answer is always that a paid off 100k mile Civic is worth more than I can sell it for. I wouldn't have an rx7 without already having that car in the driveway.

Likewise my rx7 is awesome since I have other vehicles I can rely on and use for short trips. It would be a horrible only car.

1 quart per 1500 miles seems low but my understanding is they lowered how much is injected for the RX8 to pass emissions. I use a quart of premix for 4-500 miles in my FC with the oil injectors removed.

If you have an immersion circulator, aka sous vide, that you can disable the heater on they work great for chilling wine to the temp you want. The Anova set to 32F disables the heat and you can add ice and the bottle and chill pretty quickly. If you open the bottle you can use a clean meat thermometer to check the…

Storing in the fridge is fine unless it’s there long enough to dry out the cork to the point air gets in. Just let it warm up a bit before drinking.

From a certain perspective the Brits do drink warm beer. American adjunct lagers are best served under 35F where you can’t taste them while Real Ale is best between 45-55F where you can taste them. But it’s not like they’re drinking 80F beer.

Yep. I tried a few times when it started to get their customer service to escalate because I could see exactly where the bottleneck was on their network. Months later the news came out that it was intentional to get Netflix to pay them for access to their customers.

I like my Amazon Prime card for the same reason, 5% on Amazon purchases and 1-2% back on everything else credited to my Amazon account every month. There are better cash back cards if you don’t use Amazon a lot (my Costco card is better for gas) but the monthly credit that’s easily usable means I don’t forget it and…

I’m well aware, next time I'm in Montreal I'll be trying horse.

Horses are considered cute animals in the US so we aren't allowed to eat them. I think it's technically legal to butcher and sell the meat again but nobody does because the horse people will go crazy.

A lambic is not a beer plus fruit it’s a sour wheat beer with specific production methods. Per your definition of beer it’s not even beer because it has wheat in it, and a large amount at that.

That’s it? My property tax on an appraised $200k house is $4500 a year. $10.3k is less than rent or mortgage payments in a lot of places.

It’s built for NA power. The compression ratio is raised enough over the turbo motors that your tune has to be perfect all the time. The internals are all lightweight versions to make it rev higher, making it more brittle against detonation but not being useful for turbos because your turbo will either come on at…

Does this change how the fines are handled? With the current system the FCC responds to complaints explaining that you can sue the spam caller in state court for $1500 per violation. I wouldn’t mind a cut of the fines but it would work a whole lot better if the FCC could issue them itself and not rely on private…

From other reporting it looks like the pods are high alcohol with concentrated flavors that the machine dilutes with cold water or seltzer depending on the drink.

Plutonium is not extremely radioactive. Radiation is produced when an atom decays, the more frequent an isotope decays the more radioactive it is. 24,000 years is a pretty long half-life, the really scary stuff is hours or days which thankfully means that while they are hot they aren’t hot for long.

Frequent oil changes with good non-synthetic, preferably with some premix added every fill-up and regular coolant changes. Newer engines are good but not if they haven’t been treated right since the replacement/rebuild. The Apex seals tend to hold up well in non-turbo motors unless there's a ton of carbon buildup.

Could be related to the thermal reactor the first gen used instead of a cat or keeping the exhaust cool enough to handle the heat, or both.

I'd guess Watanabe f8's but they could be panasports or replicas.

The only thing here that seems unusual is the complete lack of vinegar. Using liquor isn't a new idea.
