Weird I solved this issue by driving a modern car that hasn’t had the need for me to add coolant to it in years. I seriously can’t remember the last time I needed to worry about a car over heating due to coolant loss. Now when I drove shitboxes in highschool this was an issue, but that was a loooong time ago.

Passenger front door handle aligned with parked car’s drivers door handle, crank the wheel, back in until you can’t go any further. Crank wheel other way and creep forward. Perfect every time. 

In F1 as long as your the first and can exploit it better, faster, that’s all that matters. By the time the other teams had copied and got the DD working Brawn had enough of a lead it didn’t matter. Yeah the second half of the season was tight but they still managed a 47% win ratio.

I rode motorcycles for close to 20 years and finally sold off my ‘07 FJR, at no point did I ever need 145hp in a 600lb package but it was damn fun. Even as a fully faired, bagged touring bike there was nothing on the road aside from a full race rep liter bike faster than me.

You’ve obviously never used FCA’s flaming pile of crap that is their base model stereo. That alone will make you spend ANY amount to get to a higher trim level. I am not joking when I say that pairing a phone to the bluetooth on my Wife’s ‘13 JKU is a 10 step process that you can’t circumvent via buttons, you HAVE to…

Summer internship in San Diego does not scream buy a car for the summer, more like buy a Metro card and take public transport. Neither of you are factoring in parking, the cost and availability.

Neither do I, though the size 15/16 I get to wear aren’t that great either. Me going shoe shopping... Ooh! you have 3 different shoes that *might* fit?!? YESSSS! 

Sorry, your right it’s .3 to .4% of the GDP. Still one product (granted with a pricetag of $100M) and it’s product line can be responsible for almost a half percent of the overall growth of the economy of the US is nuts. 

Was listening to Marketplace on the traffic jam into work, the 737Max issues, while bad for Boeing, will actually lower the GDP of the entire USA by 1-2%! That’s insane. 

Similarly I bought my step-fathers 2007 Lexus ES330, he did no maintenance outside of oil & tires. After I swapped out the radio and added a remote start, did all the required maintenance (including the rear shock replacement) I have a total of $5K in the car. It will roll 200K at the end of the year. As much as I…

An acquaintance named their kid Alexa just before the Amazon device exploded onto the world, so in their case not only can Alexa start the car but Alexa can drive it ;) 

What, no Saturn recommendations? They had plastic body panels for a reason!

If the padding in your bike shorts is providing actual suspension and shock absorption I have to ask if your buying your shorts from TempurPedic? I’ve been riding and racing for the better part of 20 years now and not once have I said ‘damn, these new Pearl shorts really have a chamois that provides noticeable shock…

I guess I can say I had ‘half’ a CBX in my ‘80 or ‘81 XS850 three cylinder. I swapped out the pipes for a 3-2-1 and cafe’d it with flat bars and a straight seat. That was a fun bike and was my real entry into motorcycles. While it sounded good, that CBX... oof, that’s a screamer!

I think in your context you could easily substitute Nissan and still be correct. At least in recent history. 

The swooshes are the tribal tattoos of the RV world. It was cool once (maybe) and everyone rushed to copy it. 

“but a 2103 update brought the total output up to 130 HP and 140 foot-pounds of torque.” Was the CR-Z sent back from the future by Skynet? Somehow I don’t think that it would be able to stop a T-2000 ;) 

Regarding the Insight and issues right off the bat.

Red 5 was pulled from the depths of the oceans just for this mustache.
