This started in the early 2000's, more work required contractors and not service members to do work. I was one of the last few sailors trained on administration of an important SIPRnet system. At the time there were almost no forward deployed service members with the training and no contractors available for it. By…

Still would rather have the RAV4 plug in with 300 hp on tap.  Even my wife likes it, she is a hard sell.

This was pretty cool to see, and it really highlights a major change coming to my city. That big square gap in the middle is about to be a new neighborhood.

Front brakes, brake fluid flush/replace, 12v battery, alignment (hit a curb like a idiot), and $26 wiper blades at the dealer because I was lazy (judge me for this).  It will need tires later this year so I will be closing in on $1000 by year 4.

The average commuter, that’s me, about 30 miles a day, 12 to work, 12 home and some light errands everyday. I have a 5 year old Leaf with about 70 miles of range left in it. I can go two days on a charge and I have spent a grand total of $428 in maintenance since I bought the car used almost 3 years ago for just…

Lexus still puts the same cruise control stalk in its cars today.  I complain every year at the autoshow and will until its removed from every Lexus model.

One of the passengers was Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli. Kobe would help out sports teams throughout Orange County and OCC Baseball was one of those organizations. https://popculture.com/sports/2020/01/26/kobe-bryant-dead-john-altobelli-occ-baseball-coach-third-crash-victim/

The exact type of ride I would look for. 

If I got a similar email, my first instinct would to give myself a $1500 budget and find something that would lose a NPCP competition. Everyday get in early and park the 3 different colored hoopty towards the front and tell my work its none of their business. Any follow up to the email would be send to my personal…

*Reads story about nightmare Porsche purchase*

I found a 996 at a good price with the options I wanted.  It was a bit higher in mileage than I was looking for but these have been really solid cars from what other owners have told me.  I contacted the seller and asked for the VIN and a good time to meet at a local indy Porsche shop.  There was a bit of back and…

Seeing a green Saturn SC2 upside down makes me sad. 

I have trouble lifting heavy boxes at the same age Serena Williams is wining tennis titles.  G.O.A.T. for sure.

I can see why honestly.  There is a lot of good stretched of road with no stoppage. 

That my old neighbor in Japan had upgraded his Chevy truck from 3rd gen C/K to a 4th gen C/K. This is just down the street from where Commodore Perry landed the Black Fleet in 1853 to open trade with the US.

Looking at Google Maps they passed a neighborhood, a lot of shopping complexes, another residential area, and some more businesses.  glad to see they were stopped.

I hope they get fired and spend a weekend in the clink.  I live by the Karma HQ and the engineers and staff treat my neighborhood like their personal fucking racetrack.  25 over the speed, running reds, no blinker lane changes, and general road douchbaggery.  On top of that almost all the employees I have meet are…

I would love for it to turn out that they are just copying the dihedral synchro-helix actuation system and then get sued into oblivion.  In fact with them using the SC2 name I wish GM would put up a stink about it like Ford did with Model E.  

I was about to say, I am pretty sure that GM did that name first.  In fact I would LOVE for GM to still have the trademark and CRUSH Karma for it.

You have to beat David Tracy to the purchase tho.
