Learn how to make alcohol (fun and easy), grow pot, and reload brass. Bob’s your uncle, you’re king of the cul-de-sac.

Carbide insert gouges vs. correctly ground bowl gouges is a giveaway too.

Don’t use that bike as your first starter bike. You will drop it at some point. Why add the anguish of damaging your grand father’s legacy to the crappy feeling you’ll have when you get your first ding. Repeat after me “it’s not a matter of if you’ll drop it, but when”.

If they can’t catch you, they can’t run over you.

Not bad for a guy that’s 74 years old.

My riding buddy has taken his SV from S. Florida to Point Barrows, twice.

Slim Pickens is god.

An armed society IS a polite society.

So far, 8000+ miles ( a new record). Best part was I got to upgrade from a 2013 2.0T to a 2015 3.8.

Two were totalled, a tree jumped out in front of the first one and I was rear ended by an F150 pickup truck in the second one.

Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8, RWD. On my third one, can’t say enough good things about it. Does oversteer a bit in autocross but that’s half the charm.

Tiny hands?

I have a kit with interchangeable shafts, one for reaming, one for plugging. I chuck the reamer up in a cordless drill and ream away. I’ve used a regular drill bit when I couldn’t find the reamer. Dip the plug in a pint can of rubber cement, and it slides right in. I’ve used this on my cars, trucks, and motorcycle…

You Sir, are unmatched.

Yeah fire sale prices.

Not so fast there. My Yamaha RD350 race bike had a pressed together crank. We took it apart and replaced the bearings with roller bearings, lightened it up a bit and put it back together. Stock, it had 39 bhp (29 kW) @ 7,500 rpm. When we were finished with it, it had 60bhp @ 10,000 rpm. Not cheap to start with, and…

I used to work for a notoriously cheap boss. We (sales and tech support) all had hand me down desktops from the engineering department. They were usually pretty well used by the time we got them, but we did the best we could. We were only allowed to buy new hardware if the old hardware was certifiably dead. My…

Back in the early ‘80s I was on the bleeding edge of technology. I was flogging commercial burglar alarm systems at the time. I wrote a program that ran on a TRS100 to automate my sales quotes. With a battery powered printer (all of which fit into my Samsonite aluminum framed briefcase), I could print out a complete…

I know, you couldn’t resist.

I had a 2013 2.0T, a 2014 2.0T, and now a 2015 3.8. Love the car, it’s my DD. I’ve driven autocross with it, aside from the horrible under-steer, it’s a great car and I plan on driving it till it dies.
