They covered the stealing of the first Death Star plans in the Han Solo trilogy of the EU, too.

Welcome to my world. Literally.

I grew up in Plymouth. Lived and worked there until recently. My family & in-laws still live there.

An ordinance back in the 90s which penalized CSX any time they blocked a road for (IIRC) 7 minutes. It happened so often CSX sued, and won, to get it thrown out or amended for a longer…

Best lesson from ol’ Kwerve is not to work for a Hutt if you don’t understand Hutteese...

Looks more like 2/3 of a TIE Defender but more swoopy.

Amundsen’s team didn’t “trundle”, they used skis and used dog sleds. Scott’s team was on foot...
The Last Place on Earth is a fascinating read and the dramatization is pretty good, too.

I had a 96 ESi, which was pretty fantastic for a commuting college student in Detroit. That is until someone spun out in front of my on I96 on the last slippery morning of that winter... My Eagle was total’d, but the other vehicle was able to flee the scene. (Lady talked to me long enough to explain she didn’t have a…

She cut the dog toy in half on purpose to demonstrate the bad things that can happen with her porting to a place she doesn’t know.

Especially since anyone that didn’t fail shop class can do the same thing, manually, with a drill press...

Firearms can be made with far less technology than this thing.

Fake exhaust tips built into the rear fascia/bumper.

So there’s a short reference to steering currents, but no mention of the high pressure (cold) system that stopped Harvey and said “hey dude dump all that rain right there”.

It takes two weather systems colliding to cause the nastiest storms, we see it much more frequently with North-easters off New England.

What’s on the market that is comparable to the Surface Book as an alternative?

Nice shout out to the team at Suncoast’s parts dept, they are serious enthusiasts and were a fun bunch to hang with at Sebring, St Pete GP or other track days they supported.

Amen.

Our 2016 SRX did this 3 weeks ago while getting off the freeway. Used the heater method to limp it home (no fluids pouring out of anything).

Checked the coolant reservoir and it was a chocolate shake...

I fixed it by having roadside assistance tow it to the dealership, and they gave it back to us a week ago with a new…

So how is the Buick longroof going to stack up?

True, but I find designing & constructing buildings far more interesting than where to reinforce a piece of plastic for optimal injection molding efficiency. I appreciate the process though. Don’t even get me started on machining though... had I known what that even was in high school I probably would have attended…

This affirms my decision to go into Architecture instead of Automotive Design...

Of course I still get to deal with the government, and bean counters (“value engineering”)...

In all honesty that fuel range is a deal breaker for me. My old GTI would routinely get 300-350 city driving and could push close to 400 on road trips per tank (chipped, fair bit of spirited driving).

So much this.

Yep. We keep half our SRX’s back row folded a lot of the time and it looks like that, too.
