It fits! The damn thing fits! And I thought there were no more spaces. Am I an idiot or what?

just don’t get busy with a blacklight or anything...

I don’t see the Altima anywhere on those lists.

The spot and description appear to be the outlet guide vanes for the fan nozzle, which is the “bypass” part of the compressor stage in a high bypass turbofan engine. They don’t spin, they just straighten air coming out to make it less turbulent.

I told him the same thing about the Leafs and he basically called me an idiot. So I guess we’re both idiots.

After all that work, it’s still the second best electric truck in that picture...

Just to clarify, the aircraft didn’t likely blow its tires DURING the braking event. Aircraft tires have pressure release plugs that allow a “controlled blowout” if things get too hot. This is to prevent a more violent, catastrophic explosion of the tire which could cause damage to the aircraft both externally, and…

Wow, that is an absolute dumpster fire of a headline.

The question is, was he running from Lucille, Lucille, or a loose seal?

You can always tell a Milford man.

I mean, at least they didn’t take him out back and shoot him, like an “untrainable” dog, right Gov’ner?

I’d be O’Leary of his advice.

Road trips were easier in the 80s, as us kids had the entire back of the station wagon to move around, wiggle, sleep flat, fight, etc. Not locked down for hours on end in belts and/or car seats. Perhaps not as safe, but mobility was everything and 10 hour car rides were not the struggle for toddlers they often are toda…

If they don’t make an R2T2 pick up that comes exclusively in Blue and White paint, I’m leaving the internet forever.

I’m starting to see some really low rates on new cars (I’m sure they’re making up for it in the purchase price, but still) so we may be closer to that than it appears.  I think the local Mazda dealer in particular is back below 2%.

I had a few projects on my home in those 0% days and even though I did have the cash for them, liquidity is always king.  I might need cash for another emergency a month later.  I would have paid cash at 7% though.

And I think VW hasn’t been listening to Americans regarding how they really want this thing configured. VW seems to be pushing it as a people mover but I think Americans want it as a lifestyle vehicle -- something for individuals or couples to take their bikes, camping gear, SUPs, etc. out for adventures -- as well as…

With the second-gen NSX Acura served up a masterclass on maximizing the ratio of pre-sales hype period to actual production run.  This feels like the sequel.
