Agree to the first but disagree re: “fake exhaust tips.” It’s 2023: there is no reason for any vehicle to have plain or slash-cut exhaust end with no tip on it to make it nicer looking.

Nice photos, Michael Shaffer!

I figured this out about 15 years ago. I used to ride my motorcycle through the desert canyons of So.Cal. and end up in Lancaster at a 7-11 where my drink of choice was the cold mocha (no ice, it comes out of the machine nice and cold).

I’m a huge space-nerd.

$2 million was previously bid? And he’s asking $2.2 million now? I honestly cannot fathom why this car is worth more than a couple hundred thousand, tops. One of 284 and it’s number 1? So what??

As I’ve been saying since he first proffered to buy Twitter for a ridiculous sum of money: this was always going to end in tears. Musk was NEVER going to be able earn his money back through either ad sales, subscriptions, blue check marks, etc. and/or reselling Twitter.

So...Musk is following the Donald Trump Method of Not Paying People What They Are Owed. And being a right-wing asshole. Nice.

Jeeps and Jeep itself, all Jeeps, 100% hate them and the people that drive them. Especially the ones heavily modified for off-road use and then just driven on the streets, roll-over accidents waiting to happen. And the drivers? The “Jeep bros” and the women, too: fuck off. BTW: taking off all the doors and stuff in…

Andrew? Dumb comment in the last sentence. You really should know better. First off, even in high winds, sunglasses don’t just fly off one’s head. Also, a lot of riders wear full-face helmets with a faceshield, so that’s a moot point anyways. This isn’t targeted at the “novelty”-helmet wearing H-D riders, either.

Ohhhh! Show me on the doll where the motorcyclist hurt you!

Personally, I’d have no problem with as many as 30 cars on the grid. 20 just seems so small.

I used to motorcycle roadrace at Willow Springs International Raceway in southern California. Every other month before the races on Sunday, instead of a standard instrumental version of the national anthem, they played the Jimi Hendrix version. That always brought a smile to my face.

I asked questions about MTG earlier today and in a rare occurrence...I received a number of polite and informative replies. Nobody was snarky about my ignorance about the game and I want to say thank you to each of the commenters who replied to me.

Doesn’t this lead to players carrying around valuable cards worth hundreds, or even thousands of dollars, on their person when they go to a game? That seems ripe for loss (not so much theft, I think thieves are pretty much just interested in cash, credit cards, jewelry and electronics).

You know, I’d love a good foam cannon but the cheap-o one that I bought that just goes on the end of a hose isn’t very efficient (uses a ton of soap) and doesn’t make the fine bubbles of a real one and the one that came with the pressure washer is a pain to use (switching back-and-forth with the spray wand), seems to…

Thank you!

Thank you for that excellent answer!

I completely agree that this technique makes sense, not just for car windows but home windows, too. I think, though, that I just end up going whichever direction is making my arms less tired.

Tip 1) NEVER use an automated carwash if you really care about the paint on your car (or actually getting the exterior 100% clean).
