I think one of the easiest pieces of advice is just “drive it like a normal car”. Everyone seems to think that throttles and brakes on supercars must be on off switches and you have to burn rubber and set new records getting up to the speed limit every time, but the truth is for most modern cars if you just drive them

The Obama administration conducted a successful trade-in program

It is admittedly probably ~40 years old, so not entirely surprising. I’m not sure if the house lights dim as well with it though. I’m fairly sure the impedances are matched as my dad was a bit of an audiophile back in the day, but I haven’t actually really looked myself. It has put up with the test of time at least

I always chuckle that my dad’s old stereo setup (which I now have sitting in my living room) is a Yamaha receiver with Mitsubishi speakers (they are branded Diatone in the States apparently, but his still say Mitsubishi).  Still one of the best and most powerful setups I’ve heard in a while.  3 on the volume will

So where exactly is this location in KC?  I read that in the previous article and did a quick Google search, but wasn’t having much luck coming up with anything.  I live nearby, so figured it could be fun to stop by some day, especially if I have some old tires I need to get rid of...

Your upbringing where you went to school, and former job doesn’t determine whether you are “trailer trash” or not. There are plenty of frat bros and the like that attended Ivy League schools that are total jackasses. It’s how you behave that leads to those comments, not what you came from.

I remember when filling my motorcycle was less than $5, though that wasn’t too long ago as it has a pretty small tank of only 2.5-3 gallons.

I guess I interpreted the recharge rate as just through plug-in varieties, but I guess I never thought to check if it was even a plug-in to begin with.

Lol, that’s probably about right.  I was thinking it was just one summer.  This was in Kansas too for what it’s worth.  I know the prices around the country don’t always vary a ton (California excluded), but I know that region does play into it some.

A couple of things:

I can’t remember how old I was, just that I was in grade school (maybe 25 years ago or so?), but I do remember my mom driving me to school and the price of gas was $0.85 a gallon for a little while.  With inflation I’m not sure it will even drop under $1 a gallon again, but even being under $2 a gallon would be pretty

Yeah, it is pretty impressive to me how they could have such noticeably different bodies on the same basic underpinnings.  Especially when they had a whole generation change in the middle between the C2 and C3, but the same chassis underneath.

Woah, I wonder if that’s a record.  I guess maybe some Volkswagen chassis might beat it though.

I suppose that might be more my memory. It just feels like every story that involves the Challenger has the mandatory “this platform is older than dirt” quote, even when there have been some pretty major upgrades to the car as a whole over the years.

It just felt like every time there is some news about a change to the Challenger that everyone just bags on it for being an old platform.

I dunno, I think a A/C powered intake cooler is a pretty cool idea myself.

Indeed, the whole car is about trading the ultimate in cornering grip (who needs it) for straight line speed and stability (now we’re talking.)

The front axle has an open differential with a wet clutch pack for each output shaft

Why exactly does Ocarina of Time read from the third controller port?  That seems to be a very odd thing for a single player game.

I have this issue with the new tank I put in my 67 Dart. The old tank worked fine and the new tank uses mostly the same filler neck, but instead of extending down into the tank like the old setup, I had to cut it shorter and attach it to a pipe sticking out of the new tank with a rubber coupler. Long story short, I
