I didn’t realize my 300hp turbo boxer powered manual AWD lifted wagon was boring. Oh well, at least I’ll be a real car guy ala Top Gear after owning an alfa. I’ll have to let my boss know I’ll be working from home indefinitely though

The key is to find the employee with the knowledge and stick with them. I nearly lived at the local advanced auto towards the tail end of my MK4 GTI ownership, and this one guy named Sean was always super helpful with finding me the parts I needed or even offering suggestions. I think I cracked him up the day I…

Yeah I get about 19 in my outback XT... 24 if I’m on the highway being really light on the gas (which I rarely am)

You see that hut over there? Good. Now hold my barrel and watch this

I remember a Zamboni too... best issues for sure

I think that was ultimately where we went with it, although he never did end up buying one. I should bug him about it

I have a friend that was telling me recently he wanted to get a “fun little used car with a 6 speed”. I thought he was being specific so I started trying to think of older used cars in his price range that also had a 6 speed, before quickly realizing he just meant he wanted a manual. Time marches on I guess... I grew…

All I hear are compression artifacts in the crappy audio... I’m sure the car would have sounded great in person though

I’m torn on that one... parts of the lines look good to me, but then you take a step back and it seems like it’s some genetic experiment that’s crying inside

I taught my wife to drive stick on an ‘05 impreza. It wasn’t the easiest but it wasn’t too hard either. After a couple lessons she bought a beater Jetta with an almost dead clutch that engaged in a really weird point and had a key snapped in the ignition so it was hard to restart quickly. THAT was a tricky car to…

I remember noticing that too

Freely? I’m sure if you have enough connections and a real reason to be there you can still get let into the control room, etc despite the whole thing being covered now. But to get to the elephant’s foot? Nobody is freely getting down there I’m sure

I’m no expert but it has a lot to do with wind, and how light the particles were. Wind generally has a pretty consistent direction, so it makes sense areas downwind of the reactor have the most radiation. The hottest material would be actual chunks of radioactive fuel, which were pretty heavy so they probably didn’t…

Call me crazy, I don’t hate it. 302/5.0 swap it and put a real roll bar on it and I’d gladly hoon it

I hear you, I’m just about to finish up my 2.5 year, 7k loan and be car payment free again.

While I still watch and enjoy the original trio on TGT, Top Gear appears to have continued on and ended up with something else I want to watch. Not a bad thing, I guess?

You’re welcome! I’m a little sad there’s probably no chance of them coming over here to the US for me to see them, but at least their music is easy enough to find online

Suprised I didn’t see nutritional yeast, that’s our topping of choice along with butter and a little salt

I’m also realizing this era of King Crimson is probably why I really like this band Town Portal I came across last year

I had an all vinyl mostly request prog rock radio show late at night during college. I played a lot of this...
