Doing without the “safety” and convenience wuss tech is worth getting the manual for even if you hate manuals. If present trends continue—which I see no reason for it to not with the impending electric 2-box eunuchocalypse upon us, it will also make it more interesting for future resale.

In the breakdown lane on a quiet VA highway, I saw the back half of one and a wide blood streak up the road leading from it. About a half mile ahead, was a Taurus with the front half. A truck driver once told me he didn’t bother even slowing for deer. I think he said he had some kind of grille guard or extra bars or…

We have coyotes. Unfortunately, people buy little wuss dogs (one person had their Taco Bell dog taken right in front of them in broad daylight) and let their cats outside (I even have trail cam footage from my driveway of a coyote carrying the front half a cat, entrails hanging like a tail), so they tend to go for…

They are literally blinded by glare, so they don’t really know where they’re going, I imagine they’re just panic-leaping and they also don’t expect that the light is something moving faster than any predator they’ve evolved to deal with. They have wide angle vision, too, so they can be blinded at a greater range of…

I think Dr. Feelgood’s yacht was probably an 80-footer, not a 70. Generally, the numbers in a boat name are its length in feet or meters. From what I’ve been told, there’s a lot of swingers on that island, so he shouldn’t have had to pay. Or maybe that’s his traveling circus.

It’s not just concussions, they’re learning that repeated sub-concussion impacts also add up to cumulative damage over time. Made me glad I stopped martial arts, but I wonder if my migraines aren’t possibly related to that time (and biking and anything else that caused me to hit my head).

There are well over 1000 car designers at any time. How many do you know by name? How many are current? One doesn’t have to be a designer, just someone with an IQ over that of a small rodent, to see how stupid this idea is. You can suck Muskrat’s dick all you want, but you’re never going to get so much as a…

I like the interior. Exterior is just more unoriginal mining and bastardizing of a better old design. Where is the damn originality? Or at least match the spirit of the original in purity of line, proportion, and elegance with a bit of function thrown in (vents)—details used not to draw your eyes away from the form as…

But that cd is terrible! Best I could find for the original car is an estimated .34. I don’t know how accurate that is, but it’s lower than the new one and I’m sure it has a smaller frontal area (the original is tiny). Plus it says that’s before aero. I don’t know what that means, but usually that would be used in…

Usually aero means downforce aids, which would mean more drag. The Alfa is worse than a Testarossa and all that to look like one of those youtuber hack designers took their wretched e-pens to the original and added some Pep Boys Wrangler grille attitude.

There’s one around me in North Andover. Don’t know if it’s the same one, but this one is an older bald guy, drives like an asshole, so he seems to possess little sense of self preservation. I think it’s dark gray. Funny that I can’t recall the color! If it’s him, I’m surprised someone rode with him.

The other part here is that it is political suicide to raise the gas taxes, which should have likely been done years ago. By hitting EVs at double the average annual gas tax people pay, they’re actually hitting them at something closer to what the actual gas tax should be, but can’t raise them to. On top of that—at…

How would they move? Typical value I found of a house there from 2021 is $144k, 49th out of the 50 states (WV lowest) and median income is 50th at under $46k. If they even have paid-off property to sell, on average, it won’t get them to a much better place to live, though it would get them a downpayment and they’d…

You want the 2.0 N/A focus 5MT. Even DI only, it’s no worries. I went over 200k miles on mine and it was Corolla reputation reliable. Got totaled. 1.0 EB is a totally different (junk) engine—more expensive, not powerful, and not much better mileage, but I don’t think they sold many of them, anyway. Even my Focus ST…

Dump truck drivers are universally the worst drivers on the road, as it has been at least as long as I’ve been driving, which is 30 years and close to 1 million miles. They must only hire the most degenerate fucktards for the job. They’re either driving like they’re a teenager in a sports car/broke person in an Altima…

You don’t drive a Kia Rio off road or on a racetrack. There’s nothing wrong with your kayak if you just want to float around a bit in calm water, maybe do some light fishing, but like with cars, bikes or anything else, performance, capability, and quality costs money. You want to go on the ocean? It will not be a good…

You can build more boat for that price or less with marine ply and fiberglass. Even better, you can often find them already built by someone for near budget kayak prices, definitely budget if you don’t mind a little repair and paint work. My 17' CLC Charles something or other (it’s discontinued, but the Chesapeake LT…

Utility trailer and modify it to suit. That’s what I’m using for my 17' wood boats and bikes (if I need to move several of each at once). It can easily be designed to have vertically adjustable crossbars so that the bikes can roll on underneath and the kayaks will still be lower than even a wagon or the boats can be ke…

I remember when unpainted plastic bumpers were the sign you bought the stripped model almost nobody else was too cheap to buy, but now it’s a design feature.

There’s no real hotrodding the BRAT’s EA engine—it’s single port OHV head with 3 main bearings. I know nobody cares. Wrote it anyway.
