Being of Japanese decent (my grandparents met in the internment camps), I know of the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center (Japanese American Historical Plaza) in Portland, but many do not. It’s a wonderful experience, right in downtown Portland.

As the owner of two diesels, I am always afraid that someone will accidentally put gasoline in my car or truck, just by not paying attention. Please write up an article on what to do in this reverse situation…

You should also hope that the Dr and the anesthesiologist are on the same page for the countdown of you going under. Out on 1? Out after he says 1? My Dr was a bit ambitious and started a half second before I was under….

My family has a place on the Oregon coast right in the path. People who are barely acquaintances are coming out of the woodwork asking “Hey, is your cabin free for that weekend?” No. “Can we put in a tent in the backyard (which is also a floodplain)?” No.

I’m wearing shorts right now. We’re in a historical stone building that has no air conditioning and it’s going to be 95 degrees today (in WA). My office faces the afternoon sun and it will easily hit 88 degrees in here.

2014 VW Sportwagen TDI… Heading from Western WA (Tacoma-ish) over White Pass on Hwy 2 to Yakima. Had the oil changed the day before and the mechanic broke the filter gasket when putting it on. Needless to say, oil was slowly draining from the vehicle. I was 6 miles out of Packwood (Google Map it) when the oil pressure…

In college, a buddy of mine had a huge green Lincoln. Whenever he turned left, the horn would honk. One winter day, we were going around a right turn corner, started spinning on ice and he corrected to the left. The horn honked through the whole 360 degree ballet move. Hilarious.

My favorite unplanned vehicle purchase of all time was a 1990 (I think) white “OJ” Bronco. My in-laws neighbor was going to trade it in and figured he’d get $500 in trade-in value so why not sell it to someone else for $500, which is what we paid (and why I can’t remember the year because I didn’t care)… White…

My grandparents also met in the internment camps. They were in Minidoka, mostly by way of Portland, OR. I had great uncles that fought in the 442nd, one of which was shot and killed in Italy. My grandfather was attending Berkley at the time of the Order, was removed and never had the ability to re-enroll. (He has…

I live near here. There are so many Starbucks, she had a 50/50 chance of hitting one in any sort of accident scenario. At that particular spot, there is another Starbucks across the street.

I plan on doing exactly this with my 2014 Sportwagen...

So… this is a settlement to the class action lawsuit, not simply a making things right by VW… Right?

I would really like to see FLIR in a Heads Up Display for night time rural driving. How awesome would it be to see animal heat signatures before they jump into the road?

I honestly thought, just by reading the headline, that this was a bunch of Professional Bowlers speculating on how to tackle Marshawn Lynch. LOL

I use the Dremel attachment. Not horribly expensive if you already have a rotary tool, and it comes with an attachment guide for the correct angles.
