Also, MODERN-modern diesels do NOT perform very well in the cold, due to the fact that DEF starts to freeze at 12F above zero! Fleet managers in the arctic have started abandoning them for this reason

Glow plugs have nothing to do with diesel gelling or not. The glow plugs warm the cylinders sufficiently that the compression ignition can take place. If the fuel gels in the fuel tank, filter, or lines, hot cylinders (from the glow plugs) aren’t going to help get the fuel to the cylinders where it could ignite. Many…

By this logic, anyone driving anything faster or sportier than a Corolla is living beyond their needs too.

I don’t get it either. Nobody “needs” a sports car, but somehow those aren’t hated on here. I’ve said it before 1000x, but my Viper is more wasteful by any calculation than my F350 is, but gets 1/100 of the hate.

I learned when I bought an S-10 in 1991:

The other day I went to Home Depot and took home 2 sheets of plywood, a butcher block counter top, two 25' rolls of insulation, 100 sqft of tile, a toilet and two sinks.  Not gonna get that done in an Escape.

I dunno, the “You’re going to hell, sinner” type billboards in the deep south are pretty bad.

Continuously Welded rail has to maintain the correct amount of stress depending on the average climate for the region. I believe in US the “preferred rail laying temperature” is 100°, but in Canada, due to the colder climate, it is 90°. This is calculated based to the region to prevent the track from buckling in the…

Actually came here hoping to find some technical explanation of this. Here in Montana everyone’s just like “yeah? And?” 

These aren’t children, they are adults who can use common sense. People who live in the Midwest (I’m one of them) know how to prepare for the cold and go out in it. You bundle up, get in your car go. I doubt the trek across the parking lot at the restaurant is going to kill anyone. The vast majority of people will be…

Oh this guy isn’t crossing 5 meters… not in this country! 15 feet or GTFO! U-S-A! U-S-A!

“Just call the police" is great advice if you're wealthy, white, and in a city.  For everyone else... Not so much.  You white privledge and class privledge are showing.

I hunt for my family's meat. I do have a handgun which happens to be a .45acp as it is not always viable to use the rifle. Ever been hog hunting? Or I should ask, ever been hunting in an area with a heavy hog population? I may be out rabbit hunting and need to quell the threat of a charging boar. Rifle may not be…

Plus, I really am enjoying this new phase of leftist thought where you love the cops and they are the only ones you trust with guns.  It’s almost like BLM was more of a political tool than something you actually felt

Your mother in law is irresponsible. Cool. In 14 years of operating a variety of firearms both personally and professionally, I’ve never pointed one at a person.

That’s the fucking point, champ. I’m not having kids because I’m a responsible adult.

I think it depends on the parents. If they’re paranoid MAGA heads talking about roving marauders, have an AR-15, have any tacti-cool gear, no. If the person occasionally hunts or shoots skeet, probably.

Is milkshaping kind of like butter sculpture?

Rudder comes stuck hard to port.

Everyone knows fire sauce is way better than diablo. Fire has depth!!!  Bring back verde !!!!  Fire and verde together is lit
