I have a 2014 Porsche Cayman that I bought in 2016 as a two-year old lease return. I can’t imagine selling it. I only drive it a couple times a week, but I love it as much as the day I bought it.

6'3" here, with a 2023 Chevy Colorado which has more leg room than I need. (Back seat, forget it) I also have a Porsche Cayman which has all the legroom I need, although my leg would bang the steering wheel trying to push the clutch, so I had to find one with a PDK transmission.

Good description. I find him rather unlikable.

Yup. I have a ‘23 Colorado and while I love the truck, the software is a buggy, glitchy mess. A recent OTA software update failed to completely download, so it’s in the shop. Update from the service guy is that the dash and infotainment screen are dead. They’re on the phone with GM. 

Agree. WG didn’t meet the expectations of F1 and the burning of the bus in the bog didn’t help. I’d argue that WG didn’t “tap-out,” but rather shot itself in the foot.

You have to watch out. Barbasol shrunk the cans from 10 oz. to 7 oz. and raised the price a while back. I found a place online that had 10 oz. cans and bought a six-pack. Same thing with the Gillette Sensor cartridges. (Razor blade prices are criminal)

I’m a guy and have been buying cans of Barbasol with aloe since I was a teenager. I get a better shave if I do it in the shower. I’m also a cyclist and shave my legs in the summer and use the Barbasol for that, too.

Here in NC they don’t.

If I had a dollar for every time in my 26 years in Raleigh I heard “I never had allergies until I moved to NC,” I’d have a lot of dollars.

My youngest was born right on her due date - 02/22/02.

I don’t know a great deal about her, but if she is good at her craft, someone will hire her. And probably only be remembered by the most die-hard news junkies.

One space after a period comes from the newspaper industry. Two spaces would be wasted space and space is money.

Yup, same reason I limit my time on the road. These days I try to stick to greenways, trails and state parks on my gravel bike.

If you go on a date, I think the polite thing to do if the other person texts you for another date, is to just say “Thanks, but I don’t think we’re a great match.” Don’t leave them hanging, but if it happens to me after one date? I don’t let it bug me.

Not only is that closure.... it is sweet revenge.

Those damn old fashioned ice trays were a scourge of my childhood! Constantly re-filling those damn things. The wouldn’t stack and then you had to store the divider piece. What a PITA!

That’s a big WTF. I just replaced my Ritchey Logic clipless mountain bike pedals that I bought 25 years ago... still using the original cleats! My Look road clipless pedals are nearly as old. 

I’ve been on dates where you don’t really hit it off, and neither person sends a text afterward. However, if the other person texts you afterward, to ask for another date, or say “Nice meeting you, but but I don’t think were a great fit,” I think the polite thing to do is reply.

A lot of modern bikes don’t use quick-release levers for the wheels, they’ve gone to thru-axles, so pay attention to that if you are buying a used trainer. My old Cyclops trainer would only work with quick-release.

Thanks for the tip. I will check that out.
