Wonder what the life cycle analysis is of the replacement of vehicles from rust vs. due to accidents in wintertime. Speaking from Portland, I don’t think that the use of salt was absolutely needed last winter. What was really needed was more snow plow equipment and a lot more people familiar with using chains. I can’t…

I hope that people understand the depth of this comment...well done.

It only takes a minimal amount of self-awareness to know your audience and say: “no - hard pass on performing at Trump’s inauguration”. If it were just one thing, sure I would cut him some slack and I get that he is 23 years old. But every single damn thing that he says is terrible, and you are right that his music is…

Bonus that we can now call him and his music : Austin Dick Post

Based on the RS interview where he rants on his professed love of guns, conspiracy paranoia and desire to move to Utah , I don’t think your take is far off.

The other thing about the Breakfast Club interview is that Charlemagne actually gave him a second chance to have a shred of redemption.

I want to see the Venn diagram of things that he thinks are gay, vs. “how bros help each other out”.

I think getting a set of coveralls is a sort of rite-of-passage for wrenching on cars. I received my first set from a good friend as a christmas gift, after I had totally ruined a good pair of jeans getting greasy driveaxles out of a VW rabbit. I still have those coveralls, an insulated pair of Dickies, but they are a…

Are all cars in China RHD?? For some reason I thought that was just Japan and former British colonies.

I had to vote NP as a diehard fan of these Mk1 Volkswagens. Over the years I have owned upwards of a dozen. The fit and finish on the Jettas was far better than the Rabbits of this year, as the Jettas were still made in Germany while the Rabbits came from Westmoreland, PA. That interior is great!

As others are likely going to say, this was indeed “rare”. While there were plenty of Jettas out there, not so many of this first generation in GLI trim.

I think it was a little blue cover - those dash clusters also had this thin PCB blue ribbon matrix, which seemed to always be de-laminating and causing errors.

Oh, don’t worry - Hannity will use the most twisted of logic to claim that Moore is actually telling the truth. For instance : “I don’t even know this woman” is technically correct, as she was not a woman when he assaulted her, she was a 16 year old girl...

“I’m not a train engineer, but we really don’t need to slow down at all for that curve, or change tracks so that we don’t go off that cliff.”

Indeed, what you are used to seeing makes a big difference. Another “boring” car that I really want is a VW Lupo. We never got any of the subcompact VW models in the US, and when I saw them while living in Germany I was super excited. None of my German friends understood what the hell was wrong with me : why I liked…

Hardly a boring car...but I do want one too.

Wow, that is a seriously nice garage! The model rockets/shuttle are a nice touch.

Yikes! As an engineer, you should know better, and I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that the heater it is not running. At least it is not next to your stash of starting fluid.

It is likely a clogged jet, and totally pathetic looking.

Yeah - you are correct about lazy passenger wiper. I was distracted by the fuzzy little waddling creatures.
