Not on the Bx7/Bx8 engines. They have done wonders to make the flow from the manifold to the exhaust as straight as possible. And on so cars (like my Mini) we have muffler bypass at the press of a button (well double press), so you are getting as straight as pipe as you can get. Also the newer twin scroll turbos in…

Exactly, and that goop stuff causes the tire to have to be replaced, it is a quick fix to get you to a tire dealer. I am hoping I can get at least one more season (well three) out of them before I have to replace them, they got good tread but I can see the tread going down. I will be swapping to winters in about 6-7…

There are stores that still make them, they have the normal storefront, but the rest of the site, is used to make donuts, the local stores, not sure how big the regions are, but this is the only time I have seen a place like this. They have one of these in Manchester, NH, not sure where other ones are. These stores…

I have had this done with Sprite Zero, instead of the normal Sprite, it worked out well, tasted fantastic.  Cut down on the sugar and you couldn’t tell the difference, now if they can just make a sugar free syrup that doesn’t taste like crap.  (Note - I can’t eat a lot of high sugar foods, makes me very sick)

Their coffee isn’t too bad either.

No one calls them by their full name around here, it is just Dunkin’s. I don’t know about other foodstuffs, but I like a sausage egg and cheese, on a lightly toasted english muffin. I know other places do it better, but for a quick breakfast it isn’t that bad.

Unless you know the stores that make the huge batches, that get sent out to other stores in their region. You may not get them warm, but they are fresh and haven’t been sitting on a truck all morning, before they are put out to display.

I love that, ease Bostonians into the change, no one down here in Southern NH or Mass calls it Dunkin’ Donuts, we all refer to it already as Dunkin’s.  AS in let’s go to Dunkin’s to get a coffee.  It may frazzle those outside of New England, but here we have been using that name forever.  I do not know of someone that…

I am already limited for space in the back of the Mini, so a spare tire would eat up what little room I have left. I do agree with you though on some of your Runflat points, for me it is when I go into Manchester, NH, the roads are crap. Hit a pothole, there is no give in them. Add that to a stiff suspension, I need…

I don’t even have the goop and inflator kit in mine either. I have runflats on my Mini, not the best for a comfortable ride, but they are good tires and decent performance.   

If he has a clean record he should be able to plead down to a misdemeanor over a felony, but that most likely mean he will lose his right to drive a school bus or anything with children in it.  He will most likely have a hard time getting any sort of commercial endorsement in the future too.

1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera dealer demo car. Iron duke engine, 96hp, no options but AC that never worked, puke green (Olds called it celery green), and door handles that would snap their cables every time it got cold so you couldn’t open the door. Threw a rod at around 82,000 miles, instead of just selling it for…

Hey a quarter slice of pepperoni that you can eat on the run, you can never beat that.  

I spent my summers in OOB, we used to go to this little shack, on the water, down in Pine Point in Scarborough, off the beaten path, they would cook them for you if you wanted. Clams and Lobster fresh off the boat. We would get one of their clam and lobster bake packages, with 4 lobsters, a crap load of clams, about a…

I am sorry but that looks disgusting, the pizza, well and the spitting.  Nothing will beat being able to fold up a slice of New York Style pizza as you walk down Broadway to Times Square.  That just looks like a disorganized mess.  

And a chance to charge more for a bottom feeding sea roach that is already overpriced.

‘Burkes are guided missile destroyer, they work good in packs to coordinate attacks and provide information to other destroyer packs or carrier groups for attacks and defense. The ‘Ticos are good all around ship, its configuration and armanant can be changed to fit a mission parameters quickly and it has more…

The Burkes are amazing craft, in the late 90's I worked as a contractor to Supervisor of Shipbuilding at Bath Iron Works up in Maine. One of my jobs was to provide tech support and to assist radio crews to get their e-mail systems up on the ship. The internet was still in its infancy, and the cost of a fractional T1…

I want to tool around for a day or two in the Arkham Knight batmobile, that looks like it would be a hoot. 

Works for me too.
