What is the lie?

Did he say “here’s this brush here that cleans inside bowels”? 

Not anymore, certainly. I was really into it in the mid/late 80's, and back then, $1000+ would set you up with a massively competitive kit. Today $1000 is entry level, it’s insane what you have to spend for something like a <18lb tri bike, etc...

Just look at all those beautiful plastic guides. They’re wear-proof!

Fuck that. Minivans are cool. They’re fucking awesome. ( I have 2 Siennas). They are:

ok, twist my arm, i’ll offer up a whopping 4 hershey bars

Agreed, I think the author is really trying to make this something so much bigger than it actually is. oh and BTW who gives a fuck

my thoughts exactly. put that phase right alongside ‘jumbo shrimp’, ‘unbiased opinion’ and ‘military intelligence’

THIS, 100% this. Carano/Musk has an ice cube’s chance in hell of winning any suit related to this idiocy.

100% of these slides were fucking stupid

fair enough. I guess the headline should really read:

FTFY

I learned to drive on a ‘76 Toyota Pickup Longbed in manual. This hearkens back to that- would buy instantly if they’d offer it stateside.

I have a old 02 WRX wagon in Aspen white.  I was the second owner, but it is bone stock.  130k mi on it.  I wonder what it’d be worth.

IIRC that spacex suit is for Mars surface activity, not space.  and yeah it looks cool, but lets see them actually put it to use.

always blue

Engineering Explained did a pretty great video the fuel savings of this stuff a few years ago.  Suffice to say the 10% estimate some manufacturers claim actually isn’t too far off..

I have a 2007 Sienna, 240k miles, original starter.  I also have a 2011 Sienna- the starter just crapped out at 100k miles.  Mildly annoying, but you are correct- a 5 min drive to Autozone, $170 for a new starter, and about 45 min of work under the hood and I was good to go.  I was pretty shocked at how easy it was.

even Elon Musk would’ve gotten a kick out of that

These cars are pretty well mannered dailys, and with this added kit you’re looking at a total monster. I love these setups, even if they’re not for everyone. It’s a pricey ask for the vintage, but I bet it could be dealt down into NP territory.
