I was listening to NPR on my way to work this morning with stories from Women who had abortions around the 20 week ultra sound, because that’s when they discovered that there were abnormalities. The purpose of it was because our statehouse in PA is processing a 20 week ban that would have meant those Women would have…

On an old Rochester like that, when the fuel filter clogs it usually just pushes the filter back and bypasses

I know the ford’s are slow from a stop because of a numb throttle map. I have a friend with a tuned powerstroke and he can’t launch past about half throttle or the tires vaporize once the snail starts turning, it’s not even a real performance tune, just a delete and a throttle map.

As a service tech at a GM dealer who has to watch for other techs backing out of their bays as I drive through the shop, I always looked for brake lights or movement. If the brake lights are off and the car isn’t moving, it’s the curb lighting

I’d imagine it goes something like this: Guy either got a good deal, or maybe had an older Lexus handed down to him, and shortly after that something big happened, either engine or transmission that rendered it inoperable. He took it to this shop to see what happened and found out it was expensive, so he’s been…

I donated to a charity a friend works with a few months ago, and at the end of the checkout process it had a box to share your donation on Facebook, I didn’t do it because I felt silly going “look at me, I’m such a fucking awesome guy”. Then I realized the reason to tell the world is to spread the word and get more…

That’s actually a little surprising, that trans lives behind the 3800 supercharged and the 5.3 with few issues

May be waiting on that SS for awhile, less than 8k made. I bet they hold value like the last full size SS. Also, getting a manual may be even harder, they only made 711 in 2016 with a manual. It’s like Santa Claus riding a unicorn

One of their cars ended up at my dealer. The customer had just bought it and heard about GM sending a carrier over to that dealer to pick up the unsold units and was worried that his warranty was voided, so he wanted us to check.

We can’t steal oil, that’s profiteering and against the Geneva Conventions.

It’s a very silent majority

They don’t wear like a steel rotor does, they don’t warp or get rust ridges. You don’t even worry about measuring thickness, you weigh them. I cannot emphasize enough that they don’t wear like steel rotors. I think engineering told us that even with casual track use the Corvette rotors are expected to last over 100k.

The rotors don’t really wear out though. Even on the Chevys I work on it’s about 5k a set. I’d imagine most of the price difference comes from volume. GM has 4 cars using them, they get a lot more of a discount

The most common definition I’ve seen is 1980-2000, so yes, he is a millenial.

Automation is still an issue though. You’re free to disregard because I can’t find the source, but I read an article about how 40 years ago it took 25 workers to produce 1 million in durable goods, and once you adjust for inflation, it now takes 6.5. At the end of the day, manufacturing isn’t going to be able to…

I could never get around how terrible it seemed. The out of touch rich guy that owns the company slums it with the plebs for a week and realizes how awful it is to work for him, then he pays for a kids braces, buys someone a house and sends someone off to management training, and congratulates himself on a job well…

Well *my* state promises all those things, plus 50 million in TIF and another 25 million for infrastructure! If it creates 1500 jobs that’s 1500 votes I get, at least. And if it fails, eh, these things happen.

Let’s be honest, they only think their lives are miserable. Right now they have jobs and access to healthcare, there are shelves full of food at the store and the utilities work. All those things may not be as *good* as they want them to be, but everything generally works for the average Trump voter. Which is odd…

The Pirates aren’t interested in keeping their best players. The goal of ownership is to spend in the bottom 10 and hopefully sniff a wild card game. This franchise exists in a state of rebuilding, they’re on their 4th 5 year plan.

I said it was a diplomatic mistake, I never said it would lead to war. Hillary wasn’t elected, so whatever she may or may not have done is irrelevant, we may as well argue about what a bowl of feathers would do if it were president, Trump is president, his actions are his own
