In all fairness I’ve had issues when things don’t scan. I’m also embarrassed to say I couldn’t figure out how to use the damn soda machine at BK so I ended up with no ice.

Lifelong resident here and it helped me become a mechanic and crew for race teams. That being said far too many attendants are surly and downright rude. There are a few stations my girlfriend refuses to go to because of them either being total creeps or just utterly confused by the fact she knows about cars and where…

Bags of money to build it, yes.

That’s what I was thinking about the supra. It’s likley they might actually know what they are doing and will be inherently safer than some stanced piece that’s rigged to within an inch of it’s life.

I had the schematic as well. I don’t remember if I ordered it with a SASE or I got it when I went to see the car at American Way Mall in Fairfield NJ.

Not all that surprising to me. One year on the 48 hours of tristate we stopped for fuel and snacks. We got some less than stellar cookies and managed to leave one on the back bumper of the armada. When we stopped at the hotel that night we noticed the cookie was still there. It remained there for the entirety of the…

Lived in the metro area for 30 years. I feel about the same.

Guess I should remove my particle filter from my well and start bottling that shit.

How is people in DC are scumbags news? Thought this was common knowledge?

Not so much, my pup barks at most cars that drive by. Some dogs are just talkative.

I had a kenwood music keg. It was great up until it got cold.

Not sure if a halo would have helped. From what I’ve read a suspension piece pierced his helmet, not sure a halo would have deflected it.

I remember visiting a small workshop by Picatinny arsenal when I was younger. I was just amazed by the stuff there. I distinctly remember the huge surface plate they had there and I asked what it was for. The owner explained it was for extremely precise measurements. He handed me 2 pieces of ceramic that were stuck…

I was even looking to purchase one for my RC/Slot car/model building hobbies but realized for the size I wanted, the money would be better spent elsewhere.

As one that worked in the service industry and moved on to another, different sort of harassment (working for family) outing those with horrible business/managerial practices can only be a good thing. Those in power will abuse it more often then not. Continuing to allow this only condones the activity and brings more…

They can have their fair chance in court. That doesn’t mean we need to keep possible holes open. Your point about all the connected devices is valid as well. That doesn’t mean that questionable devices and software need to continue to be used because we might hurt the feelings of some huge company that may or may not…

I’ve owned nothing but subarus for the past 20 years and I’ve still had a brownout where I forget. I’ve always realized before the attendant gets there but I still feel shame.

After working at a Gas station in NJ in my youth you would be amazed how many people have no damn clue. Even better is when you tell them they are on the wrong side and pull the car around to the same damn side expecting it to magically move. I had one older lady that was so confused I actually had to get in her car…

Slower is far more dangerous. What kills is the speed differential, not speed itself. I hate tailgating but I live in NJ so no matter how much braking room I leave, there will be someone that will get in there. I don’t forgive tailgaters but I can kind of understand when I see left lane campers all the time. Overtake,…

I feel your pain. I travel most of my commute on a 2 lane highway and it’s maddening how many people camp in the left lane. Your point about merging is valid but if the left lane was open more often and people were aware of merging traffic they can move to the left, let the person in then move back to the right lane.…
