Digital gauge? Looks very out of place. It's not even trimmed to match the rest of the cluster.

The grinder may be the most important or at least the most underrated piece of equipment for making coffee, and a good burr grinder is the way to go. When I got an espresso machine, I did a bit of research on grinders, and found that the general opinion among espresso snobs at the time was that the Baratza…

CVC 21658(a) states "...as nearly as practical...until such movements can be made with reasonable safety." When it is not "practical" to be in a single lane, or when movement across lanes can be done "with reasonable safety", it is not a violation of CVC 21658(a) to split or cross lanes. I agree that "Safe and prudent…

What I linked to starts with "Lane splitting in a safe and prudent manner is not illegal in the state of California."

It's tough to control such a big bike at such low speed, but it is possible.

Lane splitting not illegal in CA.

I was going to nominate Jeff Lane, if his museum qualifies as a garage (he does occasionally drive the cars on display).

SIARPC was a bit of a let down but I think it was OK. I enjoyed the interview and the lap at least had occasional comedic value.

I want to go to there.

I've never been—I'm just voting for microcars.

Or maybe the Automuseum Engstingen that Jonee mentioned, to which I've never been...but now have to, some day.

Wow! So many Microcars! I guess I should visit Oppo more, for articles like that. A similarly large collection of microcars and similarly sadly no longer around was Bruce Weiner's Microcar Museum. As far as I know, Lane's is now the biggest collection of microcars.

It sure was. I had wanted to go for a long time but might not have except for knowing that if I didn't then I couldn't ever. I took a vacation and a flight across the country just for that.

Unfortunately not all in one place anymore; most of them were auctioned off. Hopefully they'll be out and about to be seen, though.

That was a great museum. The one time I visited was for the auction—I got the lot of mostly Vespa posters, calendars and clocks.

The only downside to the cars driving is that sometimes Lane is out driving one, so you can't see it in the museum. Probably not a big deal for locals who can visit whenever, but I'm rarely anywhere near Nashville so I've only visited once.

And sometimes wrenches come in "SAE" (the same as "standard")—although the Society of Automotive Engineers (now SAE International) now uses metric.

Some really terrible logos here. I don't think I can match them, but...here are some logos that I think are bad by comparison to other logos.

You should start them while the car is still on the ground, for the reason you say, but you should leave them on (such that they are very easy to turn) until the tire is off the ground, to avoid the wheel moving too much or even falling off while you're operating the jack. Only minimal force should be applied while…
