The last time I floated my car, despite really good caulk, it tipped and I lost a set of clothing and 25 pounds of food.

Has it ever occurred to you that every time you are working on your Z, you are giving it a Z job - ZJ?

Drive wheels do not change the fact that downforce is good.

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing where to drift to
When the rain set in

If they didn’t ticket the driver (concrete looked dry, pylons far enough apart to “cause confusion”) I don’t believe they’ll be able to charge them for the repair.

One small thing that caught me off guard is how every where we went, people didn’t realize my wife and I were a married couple in Europe.

Not too shocking, most of the countries in the world are somehow even more racist than the USA.

HOA not required. Lots of towns have strict lawn policies. There’s concern about snakes, mosquitoes and other pests. In a lot of places if you let it go too long, the city will mow it and then send you a bill. And it’s a lot more than any landscaping company would charge.

Or if you have any reason at all to use that space for recreation, and don’t want, among other things, Lyme disease.

Every place where I have lived, if you don’t cut your lawn, the local government will do if for you. They will fine you, charge you for it at marked up rates, and will add it to your property tax bill if you don’t pay it.

Except in cases where you’re required to by an HOA, care about your property values, or care about your relationship with your neighbors.

They should cut him some slack, he was just trying to take his date to her high school prom.

Co-opting? Marginalizing? Hate crime?

“Kids, learn trades, learn how to maintain CNC machines, how to wire up a line, how to service hydraulic pumps, how to maintain machined parts etc etc. For at least the next few years, that’s where the money is to made in factories.”

Speaking as someone who works in auto parts manufacturing in the US, automation is indeed the name of the game. We have a subsidiary plant in Mexico. What they do with 7-10 people, we do with 2-3 because our facility is far more automated.

You are confusing the RS with the SS badge. RS was always just an appearance package, the definition of “all show and no go.”

I had a 95 Voyager, 3.3L auto. Some simple mods put it into the mid 14s in the quarter (14.6sec). Which is far faster than the new ones.

They didn’t take free charging away from people who already had it. They just stopped including it with new purchases.

You know, this is almost exactly how I imagine consumer-level carbon fiber cars would behave in a crash.

Yay, another prejudiced, stereotypical comment. Well, this conservative very much supports and has always supported the census. How else can you get a more or less accurate feel for the pulse of a nation this large?
