Sun-Earth Lagrange 2, a gravitationally stable point in space nearly a million miles from the Earth on the opposite side of the sun

The amount of people not understanding the question in the comments is ridiculous.

Yeah, all over N. AZ and S. Utah.

My whole life my concern was more what happens to the various insects in their new location.

Looks like Mazda’s approach is taking off.

Materials Engineer here. Gluing and brazing aren’t the same. Glue and adhesives exploit a difference in a property called surface energy and fill in the microscopic distortions in a surface to stick things together. It’s why you can get a better bond with some glue by roughing the surface. The point is, glue sticks to

I went looking at Mazda’s last weekend with my mom. I kind of liked the control interface on the console, took some getting used to, but I thought it was weird as it was also touch screen for some functions....

Signalling my intentions for each and every turn. Whether it be coming back into the right line after overtaking someone on the interstate, my intentions to exit a ramp ... even if it is an exit only lane, or merging into traffic from an on ramp, I do my very best to use my signal to make sure that the person behind

The most evil thing I ever did.

I think the only brand of anything for the cars that I buy with only a slight bit of skepticism is Moog parts. I haven’t had a bad experience with them yet despite the internet thrashing they seem to get. But by the time I’m putting Moog components on the cars, I don’t expect them to go more than 50k miles more, so I

I KNOW WHAT THIS IS!

From the shot of the back of the driver’s head, it looks like it could be Jay piloting it in that shot.

Will be on Jay Leno’s Garage in about a week

Mazda must have made it a lot easier in 10 years. I have an 08 and changed mine last summer...it was Hell. It involves remove an entire fuse box to get to them, and they’re wedged in the footwell of the passenger side. I had to contort myself into very odd angles to properly get them replaced and get that damn fuse box

For some people, retirement is a death sentence. I worked with a guy that was quasi-retired. He came to work when he was bored at home and we gave him stuff to do. He was a very valuable guy to have around with 50 years of experience. Also the fact that he was the only person that got along with Grumpy Gus didn’t hurt

I think you did just fine on your truck. The ultra rad decals on the side are certainly helping your case.

Inspect those leaf spring shackles. They are the first to go (and a massive PITA to replace usually)

Check the front body mounts on the core support, they like to rust out.  Rust proof that for sure.  Other than that spring hangers and shock mounts, as well as the frame near the shock mounts.

Dang, and I thought I overpaid a bit at $2800 for my ‘93 STX with 136k, AND I’m in New England. I voted No Dice, but I guess the market for these is hotter than I realized. Glad to see I’ll be able to at least get my money back some day, since even though I’m gonna use it as it was intended, it will never see snow,
