Yep. My SO and I both travel frequently for work. I tend to have trips of at least 200 miles one way every 3 weeks or so. She tends to travel every 5-6 weeks. I’m currently about 750 miles from home. Drove here in 2 days. Last month, I drove 490 miles 1 way in a day. In February, I did 6, 200 mile days in 8 days. I’m

I normally can’t sleep well if it’s hot. Down there, I bet the carbon monoxide is like taking a thousand melatonin -- you’ll sleep like a baby regardless of how comfy you are.

as in most RVs, this one has the heat/AC is in the ceiling (see the top left of the living room photo) so there is no easy way to provide mechanical ventilation, heat or a/c.

again, no way that “bedroom” would be legal. the only occupant operable exit is the floor of the main cabin, which someone could stand on/put

They do carry a harpoon. 

If the virus had a survival rate of 99.97%, then even if every single person in the United States had been infected with Covid-19 there would still have been fewer than 100,000 deaths, rather than the 500,000+ confirmed.

I dashed for two months earlier this year to counteract the pandemic bordom. I don’t need the money, it was just something to do. I don’t do it anymore... multiple reasons.

So damn nice, I would buy mine twice!

then its.... even worse? no, better? inverted.

Now playing

This is my favorite part (1:06 if it doesn’t start there). For those that may not already know this: when Ludacris spits the drink that’s an honest reaction to a joke that wasn’t scripted.

Hey, leave our rod bearings alone! It’s a manageable liability that only adds a little stress to the fun 😅

Absolutely. I love gummy candy and will always eat too much in one sitting. 

Agreed. Victory was the first time I'd actually looked at an American motorcycle to buy. They looked good, test rode well, they were quiet but not mute(yay!) and they had the backing of Polaris. Was saving money for one then next thing I knew they were being discontinued. Still nearly bought one knowing there could be

To be fair, Victory’s design department was pretty out there. Their approach seemed to be something like “We’re the anti-Harley and our bike designs will make that clear”. As such, their designs weren’t the easiest to warm up to unless you wanted an American cruiser that was decidedly and visually not Harley Davidson.

miss opportunity for a slideshow, imo

I worked close with metal foundaries for a part of my job (I was responsible for production machining cast parts).

I’ve got one.

Well yeah, but that’s also a crew cab pickup. 

Yeah I dicked around with doing it in a Golf for a few hours... finally slid under the car, put the transmission on my pelvis, and humped it into position... tip it up so the diff can clear the subframe transmission mount tower thingy, slide it in, rotate, slide it the rest of the way, and you’re done. So weird.

The comment you’re responding to illustrates my point perfectly. A lot of white collar adjacent jobs think they don’t need a union because of their high wages. What they don’t realize is that there are benefits other than wages that can be negotiated, or given to all employees that a union provides. Imagine if you got

I’m currently digging my way out of mine. V10 TDI Phaeton getting (UK)10mpg less than it should. Turns out these things drive just fine with worn cams. VW process to replace step one “remove engine and transmission”
