thanks for ruining my day

I was going off the fact that the Cologne plant is a Ford/Getrag partner plant but I would not doubt that there is something similar in Mexico-

Especially with a 35 mile drive to the boat launch. That is going to get old extremely quick.

You’re right, did not realize the MT82 was also a Getrag. Pretty sure the MMT6 is made in Germany, though.

The Focus/Fiesta STs have a Getrag, the MMT6.

I think the FoST sounds okay with some of the higher end kits, like MBRP’s 3" catbacks, but being that they offer literally no performance increase and little-to-no weight savings, it’s not worth it.

Who the fuck took you out of the greys? Corporations are people in this country, corporations make our vehicles, and politicians create our laws around operating these vehicles. You have to go out of your way to avoid politics in the automotive sector, especially as of late. On top of that, avoiding politics is…

I’m on here reading about cars as an escape. I’m in Minneapolis, which has been rather tense lately. Fuck MPD, and fuck Bob Kroll.

listen, I hate cops, Minneapolis is my home, but it’s so fucking stupid to look at a picture of someones eyes through a pair of goggles and be like ‘IT’S THIS GUY!!!!’ There has been so much dumb ass information spread throughout the past week on all sides of all of this, and it’s just exhausting. For once, I am local…

Fuck off, St. Paul Police came out and shut this rumor down immediately. Nobody knows who the umbrella guy is, but it’s not that cop.

dude fuck you, I’m in Minneapolis and this shit is not true. I hate cops, but stop spreading this fucking bullshit. There’s enough misinformation around all this already.

Fuck LiveNation/Ticketmaster. I ended up contacting my state’s AG office after fighting for weeks to get my money back on an event that was supposed to happen in early March, and just got my money back last week. Fucking thieves.

agreed, the physics on THPS HD were way off

Stretch the budget and get one of these. I’ve had mine for 5 minnesota winters and with the right tires it’s a tank, and you can fit all the shit you need. Plus, heated seats.

Gilded Needles by Michael McDowell. It’s a super fun read that’s been a good distraction from the world; very Stephen King-eseque. I read the first six Dune books before this, and that was a pretty incredible time. Especially those first two.

I don’t know about suicides, but I do know that “distance learning,” increased unemployment and the resulting poverty will all result in long term outcomes for huge numbers of people that are highly suboptimal.

Citation needed. Suicide rates have been climbing long before COVID-19, so it’s difficult to even assess whether or not they’ve climbed since the start of shelter orders. Only bullshit conservative media is pushing the suicide narrative, with no source on real numbers.
