Ugh... at EVERY TURNAROUND??... especially when it’s JUST before it... because they’re too stupid to get a radar detector or know that they can be seen WAAAAY further than 150 yards from the turnaround where the cop, I can only hope, is waiting to nail them.

I went to a fair out of trouble to find my previous favorite daily driver.... And it was in such good condition that I park it for the winter. V6, auto, FWD, sedan... And no one, I mean NO ONE says a word to you when you are getting gas. Your friends might have a few jokes about the car, but who cares? That 95 LeSabre…

Can’t we just abolish advertising at stadiums already? Haven’t that had its day? Even when it’s a TV broadcast that’s getting commercial time, you get these stupid virtual ads on the glass behind the net during a hockey game... http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2011/02/20110207/Media/NHL-virtual-ads.as…

I got just one of these calls from a timid, not-as-good-at-college-as-the-rest-of-us friend from college, not long after we graduate. Maybe 6 months after. I just told him that I didn’t have time for it, but I appreciated his call, and wished him luck. Haven’t heard from him since then.

Depends on the truck... Is it in good shape? How much does he care for it? Touching a man’s truck without his consent can do damage to relationships... I’ve seen it happen.

Aaaaand the flasher on my 95 LeSabre must have some minor corrosion or gunk or something in it, because it is far from consistent.... Sometimes it clicks on and feels like it’ll never go off, and others it starts normally, slows down, stops, feels like it’ll never come back on, and them CLICK CLICK, CLICK CLICK.... It…

My “today I learned” moment was when I found out David Tracy has clubbed thumbs... Haha

Those keys or scratch offs that say you win $3 aren’t all that bad. I don’t mind going there, telling them I am not trading in and that I don’t want to buy anything, but that they owe me $3. Usually it’s for Walmart or something.

A “free cruise for two” on a real deal cruise line with Billy effing Fuccillo... Apparently he offers it, rents nearly an entire boat, and makes one or two appearances during the voyage. Ridiculous.

Everybody’s talkin’ at me....

There is only one game. And that’s a Bills game. Prove me wrong.

He wears gloves when he golfs, no? Mystery solved.

The phrase you’re looking for is “contact ratio”. All gears, even spur gears, are designed to have more than one tooth in contact at once - unless that gap is beneficial to the design in some odd way. Helical a do it much better, but that introduces the axial loads that you mentioned, as well as sliding friction,…

True... I like people like you... you get out of my way when I’m in my Charger.... :) Except when there’s no place to pass on a country highway and you do 5mph under the speed limit as soon as you see me... That’s not fun. Interstates and larger highways, though? Fantastic.

Thanks for the simple explanation... Seriously. I don’t get why people that put their blinker on just assume that people should yield to them so that they can get where they’re going. That logic means that any turn signal gets the right of way. Absolutely untrue... Just because I got over when I was supposed to and you…

Those fender flares remind me of these stupid, and for whatever reason available, aftermarket caliper covers (they make them for other makes and models, too) with the dumb fake screws.... I think you actually have to pay MORE to get them without the screw decals, because that’s not “standard”.... Aside from that, I’m…

I’ll just just leave this here...

My brother was walking by the closest parking lot to the dorms and someone yelled “f*ck you!!” to him for no reason... He found their car and stuffed some bearing grease under all of the door handles... Never saw the end result, but I can only imagine that jackwagon freaking out about it and trying another door and…

Or they’re drain holes for water and condensation to not immediately rot them out... Maybe? I can’t imagine rocks getting in there. Probably some tall tale that an engineer told an intern and they told their friends that an engineer totally told him it was for rocks.

More retro names? Yes, please.
