Everything about it is horrible. It makes me sad.

A guy is involved in a shooting and then flees and then engages in a shootout with police. In the process he is shot by the police and killed. Should we rally around this as an another example of systemic police injustice against young black men, or should we look at it as a singular crime which resulted in the death…

Who are you defending here? The adult who was shooting at the police? How is that something that can or should be defended? Because he was a young black male? I don’t understand.

Was he stung by bees?

Thanks!

Thanks!

This was not the first screw up I had with them. I talked to the service manager beforehand and let them know that I was expecting good things. He basically blew me off. When I pointed out the scrapes (deep with finished scraped off on a very nice set of wheels that are hard to come by and no longer in production) he…

I do like getting the old parts back for just that reason. I guess I have been fortunate enough to not feel like I need to do a preemptive video log of the car when I drop it off. I had a place scratch up two out of four of my wheels when mounting tires and they volunteered to have the wheels (all 4 of them)…

Really?

I still do it that way in my boat! I go by engine hours and stick the tanks every once in a while to double check.

Yes, please. Those are horrible.

What is an “ass staple?”

This all makes me happy. Especially the part where they kicked you out. So basically, you can’t drive a car well on the street or at the track. Every chance you get, you go too fast for the conditions (or the posted speed limits). Well done.

I spend a lot of time boating on this area of the Potomac River and I get to see some pretty cool things. The marina I keep my boat in is right by the Pentagon and then there is Joint Base Anacostia another mile downriver. Seeing Osprey come in will never get old. And the sheer number of helicopters flying around on a…

When I see one of these cars on the road (the current gen, obviously) I am always surprised by how bulbous, large and ugly they are. They look like a life sized Hot Wheels car, and not in a good way. Changing the grill isn’t going to fix the fact that the whole car looks like it had an adverse reaction to a bee sting.

I have a 1998 V70 T5 with a 2000 R motor and a light tune. It’s fun.

Thanks!

Why are the roof rails so big and blocky and high? Can you get smaller rails? They look like they lack any real function due to the fact that you can only attach stuff at the midpoint.

Read this whole thread over the weekend. This guy is an absolute inspiration to those of us who want to work on our cars but are afraid of making mistakes. The thread includes three engine swaps, paint, fabrication and an the builder’s unending desire to make his car make him happy. All done in a single car garage by…

I got your lag right here. 1998 V70 T5 Manual with a 2000 V70R motor, mild tune and ever-increasingly worn front tires. The onset of the boost makes me happy every single time.
