Accidental villian. He usually isn’t trying to do anything malicious but everything he does goes horribly wrong due to either stupidity or substance abuse.

I’m around the same age and started with the first Final Fantasy at a too young an age. I didn’t realize there was more to the game after the first Garland encounter until years later and ended up loving it.

I love a French press, but it’s not quick and it takes a few to clean.

Good beans in a French press or an aeropress should taste great without sugar. IMO if I need to add sugar it’s not worth drinking.

What about us weirdos that can drink a quart of coffee 5 days a week and then accidentally stop for a month or more without headaches or other issues? Why don’t we have the same withdrawal symptoms?

To be fair at least some of us admit it’s somewhere between a 2 and 4 stroke but not really either. I burn plenty of 2 stroke oil in mine and revel in smelling like I’ve been mowing the lawn.

Missed the weight and brand part first time around. I’m just going to listen to Mazda and use 20w50 on the weight side. As far as brand, I used royal purple for awhile and it was fine but it’s happy with Castrol GTX like every rotary nut says to run. Just do what the rotary likes and it will sing to you.

In most cars I’ve owned you can’t really tell, but in most cars the oil is still in pretty good shape when you change it. In my Civic’s case, running full synthetic, the oil isn’t a issue after doubling what the car’s computer thinks is the life of the oil, though the filter has probably reached its limit.

It’s slightly raised hatchback Corolla. Not an amazing car but if that’s what expect from it it’s going to be a very functional and reliable car, especially for the money. Not sure why this is a surprise.

Mom had a few cars I wouldn’t mind owning. My grandfather sold Chryslers which had a big impact on what she owned. (Pictures not of her actual cars)

I usually just start swearing because some of the systems toss you to a real person immediately if they hear it. More than once I’ve been asked to wait for 30 minutes by a bot and only got halfway through “god fucking dammit” before having someone pickup and ask how they could help.

I’ve done that a few times with the rx7 and always felt a little weird. Then one day at Lowe’s I saw a couple picking up lumber with two Integras and knew I wasn’t the only one.

I’m turning toward not wasting my time, but given the choice of spending a few grand or plying friends with beer and pizza and driving myself I chose the latter.

My RX7 can carry a surprising amount of stuff, nothing Earth shattering but somehow more than my Civic coupe and if it’s just boxes it’s not far off from a Jeep Renegade. Having a hatch definitely makes a big difference. The Renegade wins as soon as you hook up a uhaul trailer though.

For me not A, but you’re right about B. At least since I stopped playing hockey I don’t have to cut the calluses off every few weeks, but I could use a good pedicure.

I’ve had the same experience over more years of driving. In an emergency I’d rather have my huge feet than even bigger shoes that are more likely to hit multiple pedals.

I have better pedal control barefoot and wouldn’t have a problem getting out of my car barefoot emergency or not. As far as wearing flip-flops I can run faster, forward or backward, than most people can in sneakers. I’m definitely not going to start wearing track shoes everywhere so I can run a 400 a few seconds…

I’ve been driving barefoot in the summer for almost 20 years and never once had my foot slip off a pedal, hit 2 pedals, or stub a toe. I have had a foot slip while wearing shoes and in boots have to be very mindful of my feet to avoid hitting 2 pedals at once. But, I’ve also had a lifetime of going barefoot anywhere I…

Both. I don’t have a spouse and tell myself the same lie, then spend 2 hours wrenching and 4+ hours driving back and forth to buy tools and parts.

Definitely. In my cases the engines like to rev high because they breath better up there. The rotary would be happy until around 8500, and far more if balanced right, if the turbo could keep up.
