We’ve been using Meijer Curbside for the past few months, and it’s cut our typical grocery spending almost in half. I buy only the things that I wrote on my list, maybe adding a few things to complete specific meals (I haven’t fully succumbed to meal planning, but I get ideas occasionally). So we avoid all the impulse…

How ironic is it that this section of road is a few miles away from the GM Tech Center?
My recent splurge has been going to the bar after hockey games with my team. About a month ago, we decided to start going to the bar after games instead of just chilling in the locker room. The closest place to our rink does not have very cheap food (even appetizers are all >$10), but does have a great beer list (and…
Fellow GTI driver, and I can confirm how annoying this is! By husband and I always play the game of trying to figure out if it’s the brights or just really bright lights.
Ahh I just posted this explanation too! I was hoping I was original lol
Maybe it’s too get as much water off of the door, in case you want to open it without getting water everywhere. On a hatch/SUV, the glass is part of the whole panel that moves. When you go to open it, the water comes rolling off the sides or towards the roof, so there’s no intended path for it to go, which could get…
This is a super relevant topic for me right now. My fiance and I are planning our wedding, but of course, parents and friends have their opinions. At one point, I stubbornly said “this is my wedding, I can do it how I want to”, but then, being the people pleaser I am, a few minutes later I started second guessing…
Thank you for putting into writing what each of us engineers are thinking when someone complains about something in their vehicle!
This is so awesome! I feel like Darby and I would be friends. I grew up around cars (I literally lived across the street from the GM tech center) and always dreamed of designing or building cars. My sketches looked more like blocks with technical details, so designing really didn’t end up my thing. After going to an…
but why am I still stuck in the gray :(
Mr Ned’s dappled markings complement the plaid seats quite nicely.
Aside from whoever is in the right or wrong here... I get hella paranoid whenever I see a new Explorer. The other police vehicles always seem more obvious than the Explorer for some reason, so I can never tell if it’s just a civilian or not. As a habitual lead-footed driver, I have gotten a few too many speeding…
This was my favorite song as a kid. I was too young to realize what the song was really about, but I really liked thunderstorms and Garth Brooks for some reason, so it was awesome lol
I bought a used 2009 MKV GTI with DSG last year, and it is one of the best cars I’ve experienced (and the best I’ve owned, but I’ve only ever owned 2 cars, sooo...). It only has 30k miles on it now (it was a unicorn find with 19k miles), but it’s been very reliable, so practical, and super fun. I can fit almost…
Ha! I hate to admit that I have done that to passengers too! It’s like the soccer mom arm save. But I don’t have any kids, I just don’t want to pick up the contents of my purse from the floor later...
Definitely. I’m surprised they didn’t pick a more pink color.
I miss mine too. Sure, it wasn’t even close to being cool (I called it a grandma car, as it was literally owned by a grandma prior to me), but it was great for travel between home and school. When I finally decided I needed to get rid of it due to repairs I just didn’t have the money/time for, I think I literally…
Floaty is definitely the official engineering term for it!
It’s also worth keeping in mind that running on low-or-practically-no fuel can damage your vehicle.
