Wouldn’t happen to be a Land Rover product? I remember my LR3 got 8mpg in town and 14mpg on the highway.

I throw my sponges in the dishwasher when I run a cycle, as I live alone and only do a cycle once every other to every 3 weeks. That way they are clean and ready to go. I let them air dry and not use the heated function of the dishwasher. I only toss them when they start to fall apart. I know I should replace them…

Well for many WASPS they love animals and hate most people.

I love dogs, but I would never think of touching someone’s dog without permission from the owner or the guardian in charge of the dog (ie dog walker or vet). With that being said there are two dogs in my life that I do not need permission. One is my neighbor’s dog as she loves to run up to me when I see her outside…

Close to me, how about me. While we are both engineers, we work in different fields. I almost got electrocuted because the headend tech responsible for wiring up my equipment ignored directions and didn’t ground a rack of gear properly. They somehow managed to run -48V DC through a rack of gear, if it wasn’t for the…

When I left my last job, I refused to have a party, I just wanted to go peacefully. I took my supervisors and boss out for drinks and dinner after work and we had a good time. Later that week I bought lunch for all three shifts for my department as a way of saying goodbye and I wished them well.

How any LGBTQ+ folks can be part of an institution of hate is beyond me. My aunts are still members of a United Universalist (or whatever it is called) church, and I don’t get it. Even if it is a more open and inviting environment, the religion is still oppressive and bigoted. I will be glad when religion dies out or…

Nope mine is a F56S with JCW kit. I am a conservative driver anyway so I tend not to speed too much or drive fast. I could do 40MPG+ if I didn’t have the JCW.

They are, oh I never knew, I am usually motoring away so I never hear their jealousy.

They are not that bad, I have a good BMW specialist that maintains mine once they are out of warranty. He loves the Mini brand and treats me right. Will be interesting to see with my newer F56 to see how it holds up since it is mostly BMW over Mini in the parts department.

That is part of it, but not the whole story, as most refineries are already switched over as they usually are before June. Oil production is down and demand is high right now. So once the switch is complete it will help prices in the short term but unless more oil hits the market the price will keep going up.

Here is a high-five from another Laz-e-boy telecommuter! Even when I still have to drive I get 37-38mpg in my Mini. Own a 2015, I still haven’t hit 26000 miles in almost 3 years of ownership. Had like 35 miles on it when I bought it.  

Read the other article on the Jalop main page about keyless fobs and people leaving their cars running in their garages. Nothing surprises me anymore about the stupidity of the human race anymore. No one reads anymore unless it is 3 sentences long, no one reads/listens to warnings anymore and if someone has an…

Yes but it doesn’t forward the anti-Musk and anti-self driving car narative in the news.

My Mini does the same thing, makes a bunch of noise and displays a large message on the speedo telling me the ignition is still on.

That gets a star for the level of saltiness. 

Thank you for pointing out the onus is squarely on the driver not the design of the car. I also have a proxy key or a fob as I call it. Never going back to a normal key if possible. I am not sure how can you leave it running, I have start/stop in mine as well, so when I park and open the door it tells me it is still…

Nothing happens to them if they do something extremely egregious anymore, so why hide it. The only time they are on their toes and watching out is if they know the person they are dealing with can cause them a world a hurt in other ways (connections in the town, money for lawyers, etc...). It sucks that we have so…

Well it is technically NBC Universal. So they have the NBC and Universal back catalogs of content, with Universal Studios for production of programs.

1000% agree with that too. Just like a doctor too many screw ups and they become uninsurable and unable to be employed.
