Not using metric sockets on metric bolts and instead trying to use the closest SAE size, rounding the bolt.

Idling In The Paddock

Can’t we all just drive bro pickups with front license plates that have the following in mirrored text on them...

Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana had the most right-lane campers ever.

Right now, on a 70 mph highway, you’ll see cars going anywhere from 65 to 85 mph, with the faster drivers sometimes weaving around the slower ones, which is dangerous for everyone

I find the prospect of towing 4-6 tons with an F-150/Sierra 1500/Ram 1500 horrifying from a braking perspective.

Isn’t that really Porsche owners who don’t know what they are talking about complaining online?

If you have spent even a minute working for a publicly traded company, you quickly realize that the Peter Principle and the Dilbert Principle are both law.

On the other side of the coin, I wish a 180 pound terrorist would try some shit on a plane I’m on. It ain’t going to happen.
