Endlessly rechargeable batteries? Yeah... That is coming.

I have to second this. As an engineer, KISS is well ingrained - but I don’t think it means to me what it might mean to others. For me it might involve reducing numerous parts into one very complex part. Which then hopefully simplifies the quantity of components... Or it might require the opposite, reducing a very…

Believe it or not, there are actual stock programs which have been adjusted to scour Trump tweets to allow brokers to short or go long based off of what he says. I have a feeling that is going to be the most profitable aspect of Wall Street for the next 4 years.

I think it varies by state.

You also need at least one side view mirror.

What the actual hell are you trying to say?

The hell I can’t!

That’s an interesting looking Sebring...

Anything on my ex-GF’s mid-2000 Sebring. What a POS. Accessing the battery requires removing a wheel (WTF?). The starter/solenoid is located somewhere under the center of the car obscured by emission control equipment. The top leaks. The electronics would make a Briton proud and feel like the designer was secretly…

Yup... That is totally it. I stalk this place just so I can talk about the myriad of vehicles I have owned.

So... You DMV every few months?

I loved that car... I spent less than a month with about 14K on the mileage before it it. Luckily for me, I purchased it with a 30-90 day warranty. They were quite surprised by the cost of what it took to fix it. I ended up with a rebuilt engine with more miles (maybe could have fought that - but I just bought it and…

When my IMS hit - there was no guarantee that it was, actually IMS. As such, the cost was astronomical for them to pull the engine and figure it out. I assume the same is still the case now. I had a an Indy shop replace the motor and all in was still around $13K. Maybe that has come down due to how many are out there.…

Back when I had a ‘99 Boxster and was on some forum or another we did a survey and found that while the IMS did tend to pop up earlier it was also surprisingly spread out in mileage. Basically it is a serious weak link and not one I am willing to risk anymore. Add in a RMS and... Forget it. Totally off the table for…

Western Colorado... Obviously it was not actually real debris nor would it have hit a tarp with a bullseye on it. Just a cute joke by the camp counselors.

I was at a Cub Scout camp when Skylab crashed... The next day we found a “target tarp” with space debris smack in the middle of the bullseye in a field. Still had to sing for my dinner that night... *sigh*

Thanks SB... And congrats to you as well! Cheers!

You... You... Do you understand how physics works or are you just trolling me? Because there is a huge difference in force between 50MPH and 100MPH. And yeah... You actually can kinda regulate some risk out of life. Not saying it should happen everywhere. But we, as a society, have decided and determined that certain…

Good point! Thank you!
