Yeah... but he keeps his loaded pistol in the pocket of his sweat pants.  That’s not exactly the safest place to keep a loaded gun... just floating around in the pocket of a pair of pants that are held up with elastic and maybe a draw string.

You need the ice to be pretty thick before attempting to drive on it. See Ice Road Truckers if you really want to pucker your brown eye.

If it wasn’t for dickheads like you, there wouldn’t be any thievery in this world...

Probably, but the cast lines and injection areas probably have different names.

Is that a real product?  Just googled it... apparently it’s real and the inventor misinterpreted the meaning of swarf and used it in the name of this stuff.

Oh I hadn’t even considered non-electrical instruments into this whole thing.  If he’s the sax player than almost anything small is perfect and would explain why someone in a band would be driving a Miata in the first place.  I wouldn’t be able to fit any of my instruments into that thing never mind an amplifier.

And just like when you hit the border of Rhode Island.  Mass roads are better than RI.  And I would swear that Connecticut takes extra care of the roads near RI just because.

Glad I’m not the only one who hates those wheels. Went to get an alignment and the shop noted one was bent. “It’s not bad, we can fix that...”

Some of those Boston streets are wicked narrow (pun intended). If I lived in Boston proper or had to go there often I wouldn’t want to worry about the nice car getting scratched up. Thankfully I don’t, so my GTI has happily hauled all of my band gear without issues. My 2010 Jetta was wider, so the bass could lay…

Maybe if you’re coming from a Miata to a GTI as just a driver. But the guy mentions he’s in a band and needs space for gear. Between the Mazda and the GTI, both are great for that. I’m in a band and own a GTI and my guitarist has the Mazda. We can pack light and make a gig with the entire band and all of our gear in…

The 4 door GTI fits my extremely long Explorer bass (both the Gibson and Epiphone versions, but only in the Epiphone case), one 1x15 cabinet, 1 Ampeg V4 (both vintage and reissue fit, the reissue is more compact and 30 lbs lighter though), some luggage and 1 wife without issues.

Yeah, but this is an injected engine with a turbo and a fully computerized ignition system. As others pointed out, it’s not the elevation. It’s probably just not in sport mode or it’s in Eco mode which is bound to make driving way more boring.

Nope, that’s a real word. It usually means all the stuff that ends up on the floor of a machine shop. It’s not just metal shavings, it typically means metal shavings and oil, at least that’s how I’ve come to understand it or just come to use it.

Those Merc wagons don’t suffer the same depreciation.  Go look for a lightly used MB wagon on any site, especially today, they’re holding value.  Especially the AMG models. 

We just got a GLA250 and they had a wagon in the showroom. My wife had been really into wagons so I pointed to it and that’s when she realised exactly how huge the Merc wagons are. I honestly had never really noticed, but parked next to each other, that wagon really is quite huge.

Sounds like paint and adhesives that are high enough that there’s an increase in local asthma hospitalizations.  Not exactly sure how one builds a brand new auto plant and doesn’t install scrubbers for that before starting up.

See the other reply to me... looks like it’s just a rig and you need to figure the rest out.  It does note ‘commercial’ use for arcades, but no idea exactly what that means.  Probably more like “If you can afford a couple of these, let’s have a meeting to discuss how we can further pillage your bank account.”

You can buy one online from Vesaro, only $94,905 (Euros).  But the real units are all top secret.  The cheap version with the half car (for the poors, you know) starts at $34k (my actual car cost me less than that!).

Unfortunately, nothing that actually provides protection looks ‘cool’ unless you’re into some fetish stuff or you find looking like a miner or HAZMAT worker cool. In those cases, there are plenty of choices, none of which make your every day tasks as easy as they would be if you just wore an N-95.

I just googled it... Nokian has a neat write up,
