2nd that this should be a regular feature, though it would be neat to choose different cities for each article to really contrast differences in preferences and how far your money goes (I know it’ll be a challenge in some cases though).

To Live and Die with $3K in LA

it was only a matter of time before Lady Death came a-knocking for The Punisher

but it’s not Netflix’s fault. so why are you mad at them? this is Disney.

I had a Celica with a Cruise Control switch that was supposed to make freeway driving easier, but when you turned it on it just floored the throttle and made you fear for your life.

No, no, doesn’t count. (a) She went down halfway to Okinawa, and in way too many pieces to be rebuilt as anything, let alone a starship. (b) Doesn’t matter what any anime fan claims, she’s still outshone by the ship that probably helped sink her — you know, the one the U.S. Navy scrapped (CV-6), but named its first…

I see you’re in NM. I actually miss it there. (super off topic post)

Decimated is when it’s 10% destroyed. Please use the word decimated correctly. 

It has like and whatever to describe the same thing. Pretty sure he’s being hyperbolic for comedic effect.

Any time one of his kids bought a car, my dad would buy us a Haynes manual for it. Any time I sold a car, the Haynes manual went with it. I miss my dad, and still use Haynes manuals. Thanks, dad, and thanks, Mr. Haynes!

His tombstone better say “Installation is the same as disassembly in reverse.” 

I didn’t want to say anything since I assumed I’d get shouted down for not living in The Big City (TM). They post the locations in the paper and on social media here in flyover country where I live so I didn’t understand why this was an issue.

Ummm New York state law REQUIRES that DWI checkpoints are publicly posted ahead of time. Both time and place.

10.14? Was this the eCOPO’s first run? A few more tires and I’d bet it could at least get a tad closer to that estimated 9 seconds.

Most people I see driving Challengers are in their 20's and 30's now. So will be buying up expensive relics 40 years from now. 

This is the biggest thing that I think people miss. . They made enormous jumps in technology because they steal everything they can get their hands on. This is the downfall of the world moving manufacturing to China for the cheap labor. They will just build another assembly line next door, and start cranking out your…

It most likely doesn’t. If your spindle is designed correctly, there should be no flex between the rotor and caliper due to vehicle weight. The torque put on the spindle by the brake system is a much, much higher force than the weight of the vehicle.

I don’t think that’s the point of the machine- I beleive the point of the machine is for torture testing the reliability under heavy loads.

Yes.

So do these rotors cost more than a Camaro or Vette?
