Years ago near the Chicago Skyway, I test drove a SLIGHTLY beat ‘92 GSX with a small vacuum leak and, consequently, high idle. Drove fine, tho. It was clean besides a little bit of dented bodywork and a few added toggle switches and interesting stereo wiring. It was listed on eBay for $500. I offered the seller a…

Gross. Our ‘09 CRV has the 7 spoke alloys and I don’t how they went from those lovely things to these machined garbage looking wheels.

No contest - absolutely the best.

I was there for Fluent last year (O’reilly’s web conference, I work in tech) during June’s ‘heat wave’. I will agree with the weather statement - if that was hot it must be very comfortable when things are normal. Summers, winters, and pretty much all year can be pretty brutal here in Chicago.

Yeah, I dunno why the Sharks’ guys are complaining - San Jose isn’t a cool city by any measure.

The logo is trademarked LOL.

That ‘Oh my gaaaaaahd’ was a perfect example of a Chicago/Rockford OMG. Location confirmed.

Yeah, most places do charge but many will also just flip the compressor on for you if you’re already buying fuel and you go in to ask. Most tire shops will also do a pressure check/inflation for free to get you in the door. Either way, we pay. What a country!

Don’t forget the for whatever reason desirable Audi Nardo Gray. Everyone I know who has owned an Audi goes on and on about how that would be the color they get. I don’t really get it.

This x1000. I know a couple of Ford dealership guys and they got their 1st sold RS back 2 days after delivery with a blown head gasket.

The only cassette I still own is Beastie Boys’s Licensed to Ill, released in ‘86. I plan on installing a tape player in my current restoration project, a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo and playing that cassette on the first drive in the spring.

Gun freedom, freedom from brown people, freedom to smash beers, and Free Bird.

Neat! Definitely a project, but it’s not so bad with some DIY know-how and the support material out there. I didn’t think they made the ‘S’ in 1984, but I see it’s an ‘84 with the 16-valve motor swapped in, maybe? Cool.

I got an ‘86 944 Turbo runner for next to nothing which has turned into QUITE the project. It wasn’t well taken care of. A year and a half in and I can confirm - the Chicago front engine Porsche crowd is awesome. Met more than a few 944 owners in the area and they’ve been pleasant, helpful, and encouraging!

Even finished basements do! Started setting ours up anticipating winter a couple of months ago - rings, gymnastics mats, hockey shooting pad and goals, trampoline and now I’m in for a set of those climbing holds too.

I mean this in the kindest way possible but, especially with gifts for the kids, family is the absolutely fucking worst. I feel your pain.

I kept MOST of the toy cars I played with as a kid and have passed almost all of them down to my two kids. I kept the Porsches. Those are adorning my home office as “décor.”

Plus, the variety of books to give is so vast! It’s easier to find something I feel a certain kid would enjoy when it’s a book. Love it.

Not ironically at all, this rule was meant to prevent one of the things which made Trump and his colleagues “successful at business”: bait and switch.

“My life has never been part of police violence,” the officer asked Caucasianally.
