Except you aren’t going to. You have incredibly limited options of communication with a person inside of a vehicle, and you certainly aren’t going to be able to convey enough to teach a lesson in etiquette/proper driving. It’s difficult enough to get people to turn on their lights when it’s raining, much less telling…

Atlas Obscura, making even North Dakota somewhat interesting

Could make it a toll road where EVs pay per mile to charge and ICE vehicles pay a flat fee

If you are a drinker, I find breweries, distilleries, and wineries pretty fun to visit. They can give you a bit of the local culture since many have a certain local theme, and it’s fun to just relax, have a drink, and maybe talk to some strangers.

Any historical, random, or natural feature that you otherwise wouldn’t make a dedicated trip for.
I use Atlas Obscura to find random but fun things along the way on any road trip, like the Superman statue in Metropolis, IL, hiking the tallest point in North Dakota on my way to Theodore Roosevelt National Park (it…

Which, honestly, isn’t even 1-2 day delivery anymore. It’s more like, “you’ll get it sometime this week”

Same. If I am doing something that involves taking the wheel off, the wheel becomes the backup jack stand under the frame

I love my 1/2" impact, though mine is cordless (same system as my other power tools) and it was a game changer for me. Not as a huge a leap as the driver, but absolutely reduced bloodshed and cursing.

That’s a weird nostalgic image there

Crap, that reminds me of the one in my project car. It’s been.... um.... a while

Two tools completely changed the quality of my wrenching
1) /4" cordless impact driver (like what you get in combo drill/driver kits)with a socket adapter. Speeds up the process of wrenching. You could swap this out with a dedicated impact wrench or powered ratchet, but this is very accessible due to the aforementioned…

While I have some older vehicles that still have this problem, newer vehicles don’t have you juggling CDs, cassette tapes, or 8 tracks to change music. No using tape deck to CD player adapters, no worrying about scratching your CDs or the deck eating your tape when all you wanted to do was change music. Now you do all…

Very true, though modern houses and decor usually try to use high quality materials, attention to detail, and thoughtful/purposeful features, as what is there is more readily scrutinized vs a design with more things to get distracted by.

I’d argue that rarity + cost = exotic, not luxury, as there are absolutely some exotic cars that I wouldn’t consider luxurious (mostly the track weapons where you pay to have things removed).
To me, luxury signifies opulence and quality, possibly with some rareness of features (not the car itself). So leather used to…

Also, now is a good chance to see if you need to replace it, because there’s a very high chance that, unless it’s in a half bath, it’s probably grossly undersized because of contractors cheaping out.

Honestly, I like the convenience of single serve coffee, but I chose to go the Nespresso route for a couple reasons: 1) the coffee is far better quality than any Keurig pod and 2) the pods are all aluminum and each sleeve comes with a UPS bag that you drop off for free, where Nespresso (presumably) recycles them.

It got to the point where I’d only have it on drives where I know I’ll be able to satisfy it’s need to have very low accelerations, easy turns, and low acceleration braking. That happened to coincide with my morning and afternoon commutes (I go at non rush times), and only when I went straight to work/home. I once…

For garages, don’t let your emergency release cord just dangle. Wrap it up or tie it up and away so that a thief can’t just get a coat hanger in and pull it. And deadbolt those garage doors whenever you go out of town.
And don’t leave them open more than you have to, it just invites a casual thief to quickly grab a…

That’s why I stopped doing the insurance tracker after about a month. The way it was requiring me to drive was flat out dangerous in my area, especially around 5pm in stop and go traffic.

Man, that sounds like a dream.... if only we were socially responsible like that.
