In college I went into one near the grocery store I used. The prices were crazy, TV’s for 2-3x what they would cost up the street at walmart. If you did the math on the ‘rent to own’ costs, it was insane. Not to mention the stuff they were selling was shit. Pawn shops were equally disappointing. HIGH prices for out of…

I bet that passes California SMOG testes. /s

maybe Jalopnik or Gizmodo isn’t the serious investigative journalism, but it would be interesting to see a followup on these stories. I’m sure there are a dozen of these stories in the gawker archives. How are they doing now? Holding down a steady job and making ends meet?

why not talk about the fact that the sentate bill is the first tax bill to give women equal status? Every other tax plan assumes women make less money than men, which is why the tax brackets do not double for married people vs single. This hurts couples who make the same salary.

I did math to figure out my taxes a few months ago when trump came up with his plan. I did it again with the last bill.
There was a site that compared the house and senate bills. One increases my taxes 500$ and the other decreases them $500. Until they consolidate their two bills into one, it doesn’t matter. The bills…

do you know of any USB battery packs that can act as a UPS? Seems like every battery pack I’ve seen can only charge or provide power, not both at the same time. If you unplug it, the power stops.
I did see a few that could do this, but they are no longer available.

Would be nice to have a small battery backup for…

google what settling with power is.

They don’t seem organized about it, but jalopnik, R&T, C&D.. they do run races. I see the R&T guys at races a lot. They don’t seem organized enough to have a company car and team.

I have one of these from their kickstarter. Kinda cool. There are a dozen on amazon for less $ though.

wow, the tubo adds 400+ lbs?

e46 BMW - you could pickup a 330 for about that much.

I thought the alcantara steering wheels on the e46 were very likely to rip? Most comments I see about them say stay away, because they won’t last very long.

lets say there are 2 tax brackets. up to 50k is 25%, 50k+ is 50%.

People are uneducated about tax brackets. Like when someone says that making an extra dollar can cost them a lot more in taxes, because it would push them into a higher tax bracket. No, that’s not how it works.

These work great for a desktop computer. Mount the speaker on top of the monitor.

no, it does not waste fuel. I’ve connected my oscilloscope to the fuel injector wires (while debugging an ECU issue), and when the engine is being spun by the wheels during engine braking, or after you rev the engine and let it return to idle, the fuel injector pulses stop until the engine goes back to idle speed.…

also heat. 1 liter of 70 degree air in, is not 1 Liter of 200degree air on the way out.

Yup. I had some electrical issues with my 80's bmw which uses one of the first versions of fuel injection (motronic 1.3). I had the fuel injectors on my oscilloscope and when the engine is revved up and allowed to return to idle, the fuel injector pulses stop. Same happens with engine braking. The fuel injectors do…

How do you deal with more than one of these with an Echo?

I generally agree with this, unless it’s some sort of museum piece. If you have a 1 of <10 car that future generations will want to see, you should at least keep it clean and safe. Drive it, and drive it hard (mechanical items can be fixed), but don’t street park it in NYC.
