Could we just not have this argument again? This is a website for enthusiasts not ethics philosophers.

There’s “flying home to eat turkey,” which is a half-witted take I’m seeing in a lot of the comments and in this article, and there’s “flying home, while taking all possible precautions, because you’ve been alone for 8 months.” Sorry, but even in a crisis, there is context. Contracting and spreading covid en route is…

This is hardly the forum to bring up firearms or firearm rights, but I’ll bite. “Rights” are largely imaginary, because a gov’t (or indeed, anyone at all) can and will do whatever it wants unless it is discouraged or dis-incentivized from it.

NP. In the land of Neverrust, where the old car aficionado need only contend with the almighty Smog, this is an absolute delight. I see a lot of comments bemoaning the price. Used car prices have crept up, this was well underway in the Before Times (pre-covid)—I don’t like it either, but in my opinion, a good…

thanks!!

hahaha. i owned my share of pre-95 toyota pickups. the perfect automobile in every way, except the dang seats. you couldn’t be more right, unfortunately.

ooh ooh ooh, a SMALL truck? for real? what should I google to find out about this?

TL;DR—DO NOT BUY a Cube with an automatic (CVT) trans.

I’m baffled that you should specifically mention a wizard, because it’s a long-standing joke among my friends that when I get a van, they will spray paint a wizard on the side.

“Subaru Forester”

Love it! I’m a Python guy myself. Everything is built in, I barely have to work.

Oh my mistake! I was reading that the ole VW Beetle got Bosch L-Jetronic FI late in life. And I thought it was standard on the Golf.

The banner image shows a remote labeled “BASIC Programming.” This had me really, desperately hoping that the Bosch fuel injection system (or whatever these had?) featured a BASIC interpreter, and you could program your car. I feel disappointed. *sad beeping noises*

That’s a fantastic idea!! Do you know of any good references on making the conversion? I’d love to try that.

EMP ruining an analog car ECU! Oh man, that’s wild. I love that kind of esoteric car knowledge that (generally) only the mechanics come to find out. Thanks for sharing. 

I’ve wanted an air cooled Bug forever but my left knee is an absolute lemon. An AutoStick Bug is top of my list. They’re kind of hard to find though, so I’ve been debating the merits of converting a regular manual.

*screams in proletariat*

I think you missed the mark on the motor. Squids would obviously go for a water-cooled 8 cylinder radial engine.

What about a new company that will launch all governments and militaries into space?
