Yup! This article may cast Les Schwab in a bad light for recommending siping but they have amazing tire warranties and lifetime free rotations and puncture repairs. I had a damn bullet hole in a tire from a seemingly stray hunters shot and they replaced the tire for a big discount under warranty. I had about 6k miles…

Heather Locklear...

My first thought after reading that was those workers are gonna have to report finding a whole lot of random lost money instead of collecting an obvious tip. Oprah, no.

Slight correction, certain lib groups (the fucking turd goblins known as Sierra Club) are staunchly anti-bike. Those fuckers lobby against mountain bikes in every state with singletrack trails. I say this as a proud liberal progressive, fuck those guys in the butthole with a whole pineapple.

Hmm, I’ve tried this before and in my experience its more like days to a week before the zip tie will lose its grip due to general road vibrations. They won’t snap but the latch part that zips into the plastic teeth will fail. Best of luck I suppose, I had to fab my own metal cross member and paid a guy with a welder…

Hey now, I remember growing up as a kid there were cast metal toy guns that weighed exactly as much as the real deal. A modern Glock or M&P weighs pretty close to an airsoft gun too.

That’s what was special about the original though, it gave you more for less. I don’t care about leather or features, a Z should be about bang for the buck. Granted the L series motors were crude but the chassis was sound and sticking with a vanilla V-6 would fix a lot of the issues with the original regarding being…

You got me. I’m mostly talking weight and complexity when I say size. Also general bulk. The 370Z looks bulky, the GT86 looks slimmer, more like a 240Z.

Get ready for my pedantry! That’s a 240Z, which was followed by the 260Z and the 280Z before the arrival of the 280ZX. There was never a 240ZX.

Organized labor is Boeing and the military is the most socialistic society in modern America, both have significant voter value to Democrats and especially so when they show up in large numbers. I’m a vet and a Seattle local and I’ve never voted for a Republican. I support my senators.

Yo. How the fuck did you get out of the grays here? I get Jalopnik and old FA (RIP)...

Well, from the perspective I’m looking at this from it seems like the shutdown is 100% on the GOP after Trump scuttled the bipartisan deal last week. To me this was less Dem’s shutting down government as it was the President realizing he needed to preserve a bargaining chip for his stupid wall and knee-jerk ripping…

Don’t forget that although Washington is a deep blue state it is also home to several extremely large military installations and much of Boeing’s defense manufacturing facilities. I honestly am not sure to what bill you are referring to, I haven’t heard too much brouhaha around a defense spending bill, are you talking…

That is basically accurate though many combat vets won’t necessarily add the qualifier of “combat”. There are generational differences, WWII, Korea, and in lesser numbers Vietnam vets tend to identify with combat veteran if it applies to them. Since the late 70's and 80's it seems to be far less common. I point this…

Yup, this is making a lot more sense the more I dig into it. Cautiously optimistic for the time being.

Hmm, my knee jerk reaction to this is “What the fuck you spineless losers. You had them pinned!!!” but seeing that both Murray and Cantwell signaled they will vote for it (I’m a Washingtonian) makes me think there is some deep level politicking going on. I trust them not to do something stupid, I’m willing to let it…

Ah, that makes more sense.

I’m curious about that Nissan V-8. Anyone have deets?

I think I heard this on NPR yesterday so credit where its due.

Dude, Knucks
