Of the few times I walked into a dealer, and gave them a price range I’d like to work with, they would try to steer me away from the 500 or 750 every time to a used full dressed bike. If they even had one on the showroom floor, they had them tucked away in a corner. One even had it behind a wall of boots and clothing…

My wife and I drove one of this generation, and I remember it being entertaining to drive and toss around the business park near by the dealer. It was a decently comfortable interior (I thought better than the Veloster we had also driven).

I was at the point where I had pieced together my network from castoffs of a used router, switch, AP’s, etc, and when I was no longer able to get firmware fixes for my Sonicwall, I made the decision to go full board to keep management simple - I deal with enough stuff for the day job, having that single pane of glass…

I’m in a near similar situation here. We’ve gone the UniFi route and we’ve been rolling upgrades to our AP’s, and upgrading our neighbor’s access in the process as well. This week we added the final AP we needed in our house, and now have excellent coverage throughout the property, soon we’ll add at least one mesh AP…

Look up when steering fails on a truck, the videos are scary as hell.

The fact that automakers no longer tie instrument panel lighting to the headlight switch is the prime contributing factor to this ongoing road hazard

They wouldn’t be the first to use off the shelf parts but... yea, that is exactly what they seem to have done

Hm, maybe. I don’t recall my key having that resistor though in the middle of the key like I remember GM doing for a long time. The car is long gone now though, even if I still miss it’s basic and otherwise reliable service.

I should have clarified - it would not *crank*, it was not an ignition issue, it would simply not crank, and behave as if the neutral safety switch was not engaged. Cold (first thing in the morning) or hot (starting after a run to the store) didn’t seem to be a variable. Swapping the switch did not change the…

We did swap it on one of the first shop visits, but it continued after that.

Also, your username is fitting, I still miss my XJ too.

Saturn SL1. It was a champ of a car, but towards the end of my ownership it would randomly not want to engage the starter.

Started as just a weird fluke. Hop in the car, shift to neutral, press clutch, try to start - nothing. Remove key, try again, and off I went home from work.

Second time, same symptom, but try and…

On one of our main streets in town, a dealership bought a grocery store property after it closed and has used the space for storing their extra cars. Prime, frontage land and a building that was/is big enough to be subdivided into two or more tenants, and outlot big enough for another 1-2 spaces, just filled with…

I’m curious if automakers can use this as a sort of pivot point to better fill demand in shorter order, rather than filling outlots of overstock cars.

I suspect this happens in other cities, I have noticed a significant growth of auto dealers buying distressed, for example, grocery stores or shuttered big box stores…

I knew I have heard/seen this before, and sure enough:

Interesting! I also like rye in a lot of my whiskey cocktails for variety, but cider and rye is just a pairing I can’t seem to separate (currently using Baby Saz). If I’m looking for a sweeter cocktail I’ve been trending towards using a wheated like Larceny. Perhaps why we’ve had fun with cocktails over quarantine,…

I’m curious if the goal being a peanut butter infusion, would powdered peanut butter (PB2, etc) would be more effective/better tasting for vodka?

I personally prefer a rye versus bourbon/whiskey, adds a nice spiced component!

That would be the fluoride.
